The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

Muppets' Wizard of Oz

🎭 This Week’s Sequel: The Muppets’ Wizard of OzIt’s our first-ever Muppet sequel, and what a wild ride it is! This week, we're diving into The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz — the film that gave the world the gift of Pepe the King Prawn, and for that alone, we are thankful. 🦐We break down all the felt-covered chaos, including:🎤 Miss Piggy’s absolutely wild rock ballad👠 The surprisingly adult humor (seriously, this one’s spicy for a Muppet movie)🐶 The mysterious absence of Rowlf🌀 And the insane twist ending: Wait... this actually happened?!📺 Watch the full unedited video review: sequelsonly.com/MuppetsOz🐉 Next Up: The NeverEnding Story IIIYep — it exists. Nope — it never got a U.S. release. But good news: it’s free on YouTube and totally worth your time (even if just for the bonkers story and 90s vibes).To go with it, we had the pleasure of chatting with the film’s star — Melody Kay (Camp Nowhere, anyone?). Melody talked about her early rise in Hollywood, stepping away from acting, and what inspired her to recently jump back in.🎙️ It’s a fun, heartfelt interview with someone who lived that 90s kid actor experience.📢 Follow us @sequelsonly on all social platforms💻 Full interviews + episodes at sequelsonly.com💬 Rate, review, and share with friends, enemies, exes… and even that supermarket clerk who bags your bread under the milk — because they clearly need some joy in their life.
