Wicked

“AAAAAAHHHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” We’re defying gravity as we reach the epic (and unnecessarily) two-part conclusion to our Oz commentary series with 2024’s John M. Chu–directed Wicked (née Wicked: Part 1).

Topics include: Universal DVD menu traps, TikToks for Liz, Goldblum connoisseurs, vicious attacks on Fennessy, a Dooley download, Chu stepping up and stepping down, a major case of the attachés, improvements in porch technology, synchronized stomping, and going down one particular ClickHole.

Movie begins at 3:57

There is a glitch around 2:10:00 into the episode; we provide a timecode for the restart.
