Jessica Jimenez hands Mandy a network fairy tale about a man who resurrects corpses for a living.
Mandy and returning guest Jessica Jimenez dive into Return to Oz — the 1985 children’s movie that feels like a psychological thriller wrapped in claymation and wheel-armed acrobats. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the hall of severed heads.
Mandy tries to survive Showgirls with help from her friend Jessica Jimenez, who has watched the film more times than she’s willing to admit. It’s all glitter, thrusting, and animated bras in this chaotic love letter to cinema’s most infamous NC-17 trainwreck.
