We’re heading back down the Yellow Brick Road — but this time, Oz gets bigger, stranger, and a whole lot more magical.

On this episode of Pass, Pirate, Pay, we revisit the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz, now re-imagined inside the mind-bending MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. Then we dig into the often-forgotten 90’s television film The Dreamer of Oz, exploring the life — and struggles — of L. Frank Baum himself. And finally, we close things out with Wicked: For Good, returning to Oz from the other side of the story.

Along the way, we talk nostalgia, storytelling, spectacle, and whether each trip to Oz is worth your hard-earned cash… or better left in Munchkinland.

Click your heels together three times and join us — and as always, we’ll decide whether to Pass, Pirate, or Pay.

This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay we’re jingling all the way into a holiday edition of Better Than Gigli — and the target on the tree is Netflix’s new Christmas movie, Hot Frosty.

Is this steamy snow-man romance a cozy cup of cocoa… or a melted pile of slush? We break down the plot, the performances, the Christmas-movie cheese factor — and, most importantly — decide whether Hot Frosty truly clears the world’s lowest cinematic bar: Is it better than Gigli?

Grab the cookies, spike the eggnog, and settle in — it’s our festive film roast with a bow on it.

This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, Ken and Andy spin the big wheel of fate and dive into game show movies—where the stakes are high, the rules are shady, and the hosts are sometimes the real villains.

They break down The New Running Man, a modern update on the deadly televised competition that asks what happens when entertainment really costs lives. Then it’s on to The Luckiest Man in America, the true story of a contestant whose winning streak was too good to be true. Finally, they revisit Quiz Show, the prestige drama that exposes how America’s favorite pastime was quietly rigged behind the scenes.

As always, Ken decides which of these are worth your time, your bandwidth, or your hard-earned cash with the only ratings that matter: Pass, Pirate, or Pay.
