As we lead into the Thanksgiving holiday, are we thankful for Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good? Find out on this week’s podcast!

Wicked: For Good gave the U.S. box office a sorely needed shot of adrenaline. Headed into this week’s Thanksgiving holiday, the film appears likely to continue drawing in audiences and will serve up near-record box office numbers with Zootopia 2. On this week’s podcast, Megan, Joey, and Clarence catch up on the latest happenings in Oz and ask, “Does For Good correct the perception that the stage show’s second act lacks magic?” Also, Wicked, the first act, received 10 Oscar nominations last year. Will Wicked: For Good see similar results? Based on lower critical appraisal, many online Oscar watchers dropped the film from the top ten, but what do we think? What films could realistically take its place? Find out as we break it all down for you.

We close our podcast with a Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
