-->'''The Cowardly Lion''': [[ShellShockedVeteran I only went on this trip 'cause I thought it'd give me courage, but instead all I found was death.]]

* LongList: At one point, Dorothy and the Scarecrow get separate from the others. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0aXazjuGmg As a result,]] the Cowardly Lion starts listing off ''every'' possible bad thing that could've happened to them. Although there was a minor time skip in the scene, he manages to get into the '''triple digits'''.

During its initial release, this was the longest campaign in the show, clocking in at a whopping four episodes. However, it has since been surpassed, with [[Recap/FilmRerollMemento Memento]] now holding the title. It's also notable for incorporating aspects [[Literature/LandOfOz from the books]] which were AdaptedOut in the original 1939 movie.

* SenselessSacrifice: At the end, Dorothy sacrifices her dream and wakes up, hoping that a DreamApocalypse [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds will be less painful than a fiery one.]] However, if Oz was actually a real DreamWorld -- as the other players insist -- then Dorothy's sacrifice may not have had any positive effect for anyone but her and her closest friends and family.

* MonochromeToColor: PlayedWith. UsefulNotes/{{Kansas}} actually ''is'' in sepia, meaning that Dorothy has never seen colour before she gets to Oz. Later, when she returns home [[DragonRider riding a dragon,]] [[SplashOfColor they are still in technicolour, even though the world around them is monochromatic.]]

* TakeThat: Several tongue-in-cheek ones are given to UsefulNotes/{{Kansas}}. Notably, the players seem to agree with Elphaba when she calls it a "demon realm."

** While Paulo states repeatedly that he does ''not'' consider ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' to be canon for the campain, he still uses "Elphaba" as the name for the Wicked Witch of the West.

Episodes 12-15 of Podcast/FilmReroll.

When the young Kansas farmgirl, Dorothy Gale, ended up in the magical land of Oz, all she wanted was to see the Wizard and return home. Instead, she and her new friends get caught up in the wars and political power plays between its various rulers. To survive this dark fairytale, our heroes must master the arts of magic and dragon riding, as well as solve the mysteries behind the creation of Oz and the disappearance of its rightful ruler, Ozma.

* LeftHanging: We never find out how the situation in Oz resolves itself, since Dorothy returns home before it can happen. However, the team have expressed interest in making a sequel at some point.

** Lydia's behavior just ''screams'' FauxAffablyEvil, and it seems obivous that she will betray our heroes at some point. But this never happens, and Lydia remains as the party's TokenEvilTeammate for the rest of their campaign.

To survive this dark fairytale, our heroes must master the arts of magic and dragon riding, as well as solve the mysteries behind the creation of Oz and the disappearance of its' rightful ruler, Ozma.

** In this version of the story, Dorothy learns to use the ruby slippers to their full potential, giving her the powers of {{Flight}} and {{Telepathy}}, [[DragonRider which in turn helps her control dragons.]]

** Glinda the Good Witch of the South and Tattypoo the Good Witch of the North are much more sinister figures than in the books (and - in Glinda's case - the movie), with it being strongly implied or outright stated that the "Good" thing is self-proclaimed. This version of Tattypoo is an outright WickedWitch in the mold of Literature/BabaYaga, and possibly the most devious character the players encounter.

** We also find out that Dorothy - being a turn of the century farmgirl living in isolation - [[PoliticallyincorrectHero has a rather low opinion of the Chinese.]] Though this has no real effect on the plot, since she never meets any Chinese characters.

** Or - if you want to be even more meta - perhaps it represents the players who are ending this campaign - which lasted longer than any of their previous ones - so they can move on to others.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretty much every magic user our heroes come across (except the Witch of the West - [[CardCarryingVillain who doesn't bother to hide her true nature]] - and the Witch of the East - [[WeHardlyKnewYou who gets crushed by Dorothy's house before she gets the chance to say or do anything]].) Tattypoo stands out, however. At first she seems to be a nice old woman [[TheObiWan who teaches Dorothy how to perform magic,]] but then it's revealed that she always takes a small part of her guests bodies before they leave - even vital organs like hearts and brains - which she uses to make potions and/or to feed her cat.

* FailOSuckyname: The players all treat [[ToiletHumor Tattypoo's]] name [[AluminiumChristmasTrees (which is taken straight from the book, by the way)]] as this.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: If you have yet to listen to their ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' campaign and want to remain unspoiled about it, '''don't''' listen to their post-game discussion at the end of the last episode.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Dungeon Master Paulo basically says that the land of Oz is AllJustADream, and if Dorothy wakes up, a DreamApocalypse will occur. Understandably, the rest of the team - who are playing as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Cowardly Lion - [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman are unhappy about their characters just dying]] and insist that while Oz is a DreamLand, it's still real, and their characters still exist there. Paulo ''does'' add a moment of OrWasItADream at the end, when Dorothy for a moment thinks that she saw Toto's eyes glow like fire, just like those of the dragon she'd befriended and invited to come home with her.
** There is also a moment earlier when Dorothy rides her dragon home to the farm, scaring the crap out of her entire family - especially since her unconscious body is still lying on the bed inside the house. It's not clear if this actually happens or if it's just part of Dorothy's dream, since it's never mentioned again.

* MusicalWorldHypotheses: ''Ding Dong the Witch is Dead'' is Diegetic, as the muchkins are said to have been rehearsing the number for a long time. (It is pointed out that they never mention just how the witch died.) Most of the other songs are of the AlternateUniverse type (Oz ''is'' a MagicalLand after all) with the twist that the players are forced to ''actually'' make them up on the spot. [[StylisticSuck This goes about as well as you would expect.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: At the end, Dorothy sacrifices her dream and wakes up, hoping that a DreamApocalypse [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds will be less painful than a fiery one.]] However, if Oz was actually a real DreamWorld - as the other players insist - then Dorothy's sacrifice may not have had any positive effect for anyone but her and her closest friends and family.

** Elphaba's CrystalBall works just like a [[Literature/LordofTheRings palantír,]] and has basically the same origin too. Eventually, the players just start calling it that. At one point, they accidentally call it a "[[Franchise/StarWars Palpatine.]]"

* TeensAreMonsters: Averted. Tip and Dorothy (who is closer in age to Creator/JudyGarland in [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the movie]] than [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz her book counterpart]]) are mostly benevolent, while adult magic users are pretty much AlwaysChaoticEvil (The rest of Dorothy's gang don't really count, since they never quite learn to use magic properly.)
