Podcast: What Is This Feeling? Are ‘Wicked,’ Erivo, & Grande Oscar-Bound?

Universal

Megan caught up to Jon M. Chu’s Wicked, and she loved it. After she raves about Cynthia Erivo’s performances, we break down what works (Those performances! Those musical numbers!), what doesn’t (Wome of the camerawork), and what will likely break through at the 2025 Oscars. Will Wicked star Cynthia Erivo knock out a Best Actress contender?

Then, we preview the major critics’ awards that will roll out this week, including the New York Film Critics Circle, the National Board of Review, and the AFI Awards list. What films could pop as we kick off awards season?

We close our podcast, as always, with the 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.
