Ep1049: WICKED: PART 1 (2024) LIVE Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics defy gravity with an Oz-some round table review of Wicked: Part 1!
Jon M. Chu's big-screen adaptation of the smash Broadway prequel to The Wizard of Oz is lighting up the box office, and we're here to break down the bad, the great, and the terrible in spoilerific detail!
Set in an otherworldly magic academy called Shiz, Wicked centers on two polar opposite roommates: plucky, popular Galinda (Ariana Grande), and green-skinned introvert, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo). Their rocky relationship blossoms into genuine friendship, which is then tested by the political machinations of the mysterious Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Join us as we muster the courage to analyze the stage-to-screen adaptation; use our brains to cut through the hype--and open our hearts to the possibility that the worldwide Wicked love is the real deal! We also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
