POPULARITY
“Wicked” was one of the biggest movies of 2024. It was culturally ubiquitous, a box office smash and an Oscar nominee for Best Picture. Now, a year later, “Wicked: For Good” arrives in theaters to finish the tale of the complicated friendship between Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Can “Wicked: For Good” be the sensation that its predecessor was? Will it inject new life into a movie business that has suffered a historically bad business year? Will it satisfy the legions of “Wicked” fans who have been waiting to see their favorite musical brought to the big screen?Gilbert Cruz is joined by Kyle Buchanan, a pop culture reporter for The New York Times who profiled the stars of “Wicked,” and Madison Malone Kircher, a reporter for the Styles desk and affirmed “Wicked” fanatic, to discuss what “Wicked: For Good” means for the movies.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, Lauren LaMagna & Cody Dericks join me to discuss the sequel to last year's "Wicked," titled "Wicked: For Good," starring Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. The film adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and its 1939 film adaptation. Darker and more complex to bring to the big screen, Set in the Land of Oz before and during the events of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," the film explores the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda as they embrace their new identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, with more tie-ins to "The Wizard of Oz." Following the success of last year's film, what did we think of this emotional conclusion? Please tune in as we discuss the adaptation choices, Jon M. Chu's direction, the cinematography, the musical numbers, the powerful performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Min 4: WICKED 2: FOR GOOD (3 estrellas) Wicked 2", dirigida por Jon M. Chu y protagonizada por Cynthia Erivo y Ariana Grande, retoma el viaje de Elphaba y Glinda justo donde lo dejó la primera parte, pero lo hace con un pulso más sombrío y un sentido de la épica que empuja el cuento hacia territorios de ruptura emocional. La película muestra cómo la amistad entre ambas se tensiona hasta el límite mientras Oz revela su cara más despiadada, con el Mago consolidando un régimen que convierte la diferencia en amenaza. Chu maneja el musical con una puesta en escena más ambiciosa, mezcla números íntimos con despliegues visuales de gran formato y da a Erivo un arco dramático que sostiene la película con una potencia que no siempre alcanza su compañera de reparto. Min 16: THE RUNNING MAN (3'5 estrellas) "The Running Man (2025)", dirigida por Edgar Wright y con Glen Powell en un papel que confirma su salto definitivo al estrellato, convierte la novela de Stephen King (publicada como Richard Bachman) en una distopía vibrante, estilizada y mucho más cercana al tono satírico del autor que la versión de los ochenta. Wright despliega su sello visual con un montaje eléctrico, humor negro dosificado y una lectura muy clara del poder de las plataformas y la viralidad como nueva forma de control social. Min 21: CIUDAD SIN SUEÑO (4 ESTRELLAS) "Ciudad sin sueño", ópera prima de ficción de Guillermo Galoe, sigue a Toni (Antonio Fernández Gabarre), un chico gitano de 15 años que vive con su familia en la Cañada Real, el asentamiento irregular más grande de Europa, mientras los derribos y los planes de realojo amenazan con borrar el único mundo que conoce. Galoe, que escribe el guion junto a Víctor Alonso-Berbel y trabaja con intérpretes no profesionales del propio barrio, construye un drama social de fuerte carga atmosférica en el que la precariedad eléctrica, las hogueras nocturnas y las leyendas infantiles se mezclan con la cámara en mano y las imágenes captadas con móviles para levantar un retrato entre poético y crudo de una comunidad al borde del desalojo. Min 25: DRÁCULA, DE LUC BESSON (2,5 ESTRELLAS) "Drácula", la relectura de Luc Besson sobre el mito, apuesta por un romanticismo oscuro que combina tragedia, exceso visual y una mirada obsesiva sobre la inmortalidad del deseo. Lejos de la estilización gótica clásica, Besson propone un vampiro más febril y vulnerable, interpretado por Caleb Landry Jones con una mezcla de fragilidad y violencia que sostiene la película incluso cuando el relato se escapa hacia lo operístico. El director francés construye un duelo emocional entre Drácula y la joven que encarna la reencarnación de su amada, y lo hace desde una puesta en escena de contrastes muy marcados Min 30: LA BALA (2 estrellas) "La bala", dirigida por Carlos Iglesias, es un drama de corte histórico y thriller moral que explora cómo el pasado late aún debajo de las promesas familiares y las atrocidades silenciadas. La película sigue a Julián, un sacerdote de clase acomodada que hace realidad la promesa hecha a su madre: recuperar los restos de su tía, enfermera de la División Azul muertos en la Unión Soviética durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. MIn 33: JAY KELLY (4 estrellas) "Jay Kelly", dirigida por Noah Baumbach y protagonizada por George Clooney como su alter-ego, explora la fisura entre el rostro público y el yo privado en un star system que devora identidad. Clooney encarna a Jay Kelly, una leyenda en pleno ocaso creativo que, tras la muerte de su mentor, se embarca en un tour europeo con su fiel manager (interpretado por Adam Sandler) para asistir a un festival, encontrarse con sus hijas y enfrentarse a la sombra alargada de sus éxitos y errores. Min35: OLIVIA Y EL TERREMOTO INVISIBLE (4 estrellas) "Olivia y el terremoto invisible", dirigida por Marina Llorente, es un drama emocional que aborda cómo un acontecimiento aparentemente imperceptible puede alterar para siempre la vida de una familia. La película sigue a Olivia, una adolescente que empieza a sufrir episodios de desconexión y lapsos de memoria coincidiendo con una serie de microseísmos que sacuden de forma casi imperceptible su ciudad. Lo que al principio parece un síntoma aislado se convierte en un viaje interior donde la protagonista intenta descifrar si lo que quiebra es el suelo bajo sus pies o el mundo emocional que ha construido alrededor de su madre, una mujer absorbida por su trabajo y por la presión de mantener a flote un hogar que se resquebraja sin hacer ruido. MIn 37: ALPHA (2 estrellas) "Alpha", dirigida por Julia Draconeau, es un drama inquieto y áspero que utiliza la desaparición de un adolescente en un barrio periférico de Marsella para diseccionar el modo en que una comunidad entera vive atrapada entre el miedo, la lealtad y un silencio heredado. La historia sigue a Lina, una trabajadora social que regresa al distrito donde creció para investigar el paradero del chico, y descubre que las mismas reglas no escritas que marcaban su juventud siguen gobernando cada esquina: Min 42: SUEÑOS EN OSLO (3,5 estrellas) “Drømmer†de Dag Johan Haugerud se adentra en la complejidad del deseo adolescente y la memoria intergeneracional con una elegancia poco habitual: la joven Johanne (Ella Øverbye) se enamora de su profesora de francés, Johanna (Selome Emnetu), y ese enamoramiento desencadena ondas que alcanzan a su madre y su abuela, ambas atrapadas en sus propios sueños y renuncias. Haugerud entrega una película que combina el coming-of-age con el retrato social y familiar, pero lo hace sin estridencias: la cámara se mantiene cercana, hay silencios que pesan y la escritura visual convierte los pasillos de un instituto, las bufandas de lana, los cuadernos con anotaciones íntimas, en metáforas de la tensión entre lo que uno quiere y lo que se espera. Min 44: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ENRIQUE MUÑOZ El cineasta toledano Enrique Muñoz, autor del corto "Alicia" y del reciente documental "Viven", se ha consolidado como una de las voces más personales surgidas desde la escena independiente de Castilla-La Mancha, combinando una mirada muy íntima con un fuerte arraigo territorial. Formado en París y con una trayectoria marcada por proyectos levantados casi a pulmón, Muñoz ha construido un estilo que mezcla realismo emocional, riesgo formal y una sensibilidad especial para retratar a jóvenes creadores y comunidades locales, algo que alcanza plena expresión en Viven, su mosaico sobre el pulso musical de Toledo. Invitado a la sección "La película de tu vida" del programa Estamos de Cine, el director desveló que su título de referencia es "Hook", la fábula de Spielberg que marcó su infancia y que, como él mismo reconoce, sigue alimentando su imaginario y su manera de entender el relato cinematográfico. Min 48: BSO "HOOK" Con Ángel Luque rendimos tributo y ponemos la guinda musical a la elección de la semana con una banda sonora para el recuerdo. La banda sonora de "Hook" (1991) es uno de los trabajos más exuberantes y emotivos de John Williams, una partitura que mezcla aventura, nostalgia y un lirismo casi operístico para acompañar el viaje de Peter Banning hacia la recuperación de su identidad como Peter Pan.
Film „Wicked: Na dobre” z Arianą Grande i Cynthią Erivo należy do oscarowych faworytów. Kontynuację musicalu osadzonego w Krainie Oz naprawdę warto zobaczyć, bo jego przesłanie wykracza poza świat fantazji. Choć produkcja, jak jej bohaterka, Glinda, nie posiada prawdziwej magii, działa skutecznie nawet bez tej baśniowych mocy.

Wicked is back to defy gravity once again and rock the moviegoing population worldiwde. After the gigantic critical, financial and awards hit that was the first Wicked , Wicked: For Good aims to close out the adaptation of the stage musical. But, as most people online now, the second half of the Wicked musical is infamous for being much weaker than the first. I was shocked last year when I stepped into that screening and came out actually liking Wicked; I was not looking forward to seeing a nearly three-hour musical that was only going to tell half the story, but the performances, musical numbers and world building really won me over. I didn't think it was quite great, and scoffed a little at all the awards aclaim that followed its release... but there's no denying how much that movie struck a chord. So, with Wicked: For Good, is Jon M. Chu able to capture lightning in a bottle for a second time and deliver on what the stage musical could not? Find out in this review!Wicked: For Good:Directed by: Jon M.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Jon M. Chu about his new film Wicked: For Good, in cinemas now. Last year's global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good. Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

Glinda, en revanche, est devenue l'incarnation même du glamour et de la vertu.

They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin's keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can.Disclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

Gasp! We're doing an episode on the smash hit musical Wicked! At least the first part. We discuss the friendship between our 2 leads, the move from stage to screen, hidden references, world-building, & more! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Wicked (Part I) is a 2024 American musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. It adapts the first act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland, with Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode (in her film debut), Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum in supporting roles. Set in the Land of Oz before the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film explores the early relationship between Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, and her dormitory roommate Galinda, who becomes Glinda the Good.
¡Dorothy! ¡La Malvada Bruja del Oeste! El universo de Oz creado por L. Frank Baum sigue fascinando a las nuevas generaciones. Con el inminente estreno de la segunda entrega de Wicked, la adaptación del exitoso musical de Broadway, nos perdemos en un mundo que ha generado decenas de libros y otras interpretaciones en teatro, cómics, juegos y cine. Su creador, a principios del siglo XX, supo explotar como nadie su capacidad de reinventar el cuento de hadas a la americana. Repasamos la vida de Baum y sus libros, plagados de personajes tan carismáticos como Tik Tok, Jack Pumpkinhead, Ozma, Glinda o el Hombre de Hojalalata y alucinamos con todas las conexiones pop de este magnífico lore. Opinamos sobre el fenómeno literario y musical de Wicked y sobre otras continuidades como la reciente saga Dorothy debe morir. No nos olvidamos de la extraordinaria película de Judy Garland, ni de la oscura Oz, un mundo fantástico o de The Wiz con Michael Jackson pero también rescatamos las versiones de Sam Raimi, Eloy de la Iglesia o Paco León. Descubrimos la relación de Oz con los crossovers Marvel-Dc, alabamos el trabajo del autor Eric Shanower y hasta hablamos de un manga cyberpunk inspirado.¡Hasta hay videojuegos, anime, juegos de mesa o librojuegos! ¡Seguid el camino de baldosas amarillas!

Jazz88's Peter Solomon speaks with Grammy and Tony Award Winning Vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater about her musical path and how her latest duet album "Elemental" is a return to her musical roots.

Bridgewater jumped into being a jazz musician with both feet when she became the featured singer with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra in the early seventies, She says trumpeter/composer Thad Jones taight her everything she knows about music. Similarly, with no professional acting experience, she was cast as Glinda the Good Witch of the South in the 1975 Broadway production "The Wiz."
