In the case of The Wizard Of Oz, this video can explain your question better than I can.

That was a joke. Laserdisc is a 12" analog video disc format introduced around 1981 and being discontinued around 2002in favor of the smaller DVD format. I'm sure You're using laserdisc to refer to Blu-ray which is a completely different format....that question was a technical way of making fun of an anachronistic way of referring to a modern system.
It strikes the ear about as oddly as it would if I said I was going to watch a UHD Betamax tape.

If someone were to say they were "taping" taping something on their DVR or talking about leaving electric lights "burning" I'd be tempted to ask them if they have enough DVR tapes or light bulb kerosene to poke fun at them in a similar way..

Correction. I meant BluRay disc. My only excuse, early morning posting/tired. :-)
