Ep. 9 - "Everything RIGHT with WICKED"

Sammie and Tae gush about "Wicked" (2024) in this week's episode. Journey with them as they unpack how Wicked broke a years-long trend of awful movie musicals, did love triangles right, and injected more emotional depth into the musical's existing narrative. They grapple with the big questions like: Was it gay enough? Does Elphaba really like Fiyero? And what does Wicked say about change, complicity, and propaganda?
