After arriving in grand style in the queer land of Oz, Dorothy sets off down the Yellow Brick Road, meeting Scarecrow, Tin Boy, and Cowardly Leo along the way. This unlikely group embarks on a road trip in search of a so-called Wizard — one with many followers but little substance.
Spoiler alert: as in any road trip movie, it’s not the destination that matters, but the journey itself.
