Libby, out assistant producer went to an advanced screening!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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. ChuBased on the musical stage play with music and lyrics by: Stephen SchwartzBased on the book by: Winnie Holzman; and From the novel by: Gregory MaguireScreenplay by: Winnie Holzman and Dana FoxProduced by: David Stone, Marc PlattExecutive Producers: Dana Fox, Winnie Holzman, Jared LeBoff, David Nicksay, Stephen SchwartzMusic by: John Powell, Stephen SchwartzDirector of Photography: Alice BrooksEdited by: Myron Kerstein, Tatiana S. RiegelCasting by: Tiffany Little Canfield, Bernard TelseyProduction Design by: Nathan CrowleyCostume Design by: Paul TazewellCast: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Colman DomingoSynopsis: 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.
Wicked: For Good movie is in theaters this week, so please enjoy this wonderful conversation from the AOK library with the film's director Jon M. Chu. He and Robert Peterpaul to discuss being a kind leader on set, acts of kindness from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, his spellbinding memoir Viewfinder and more. Rejoicify - this is a thought-provoking chat filled with STAR-studded surprise guests! We're OBSESSULATED! Jon M. Chu is known for his visually stunning blockbuster films, as well as his kinetic work across various genres from groundbreaking series to commercials and films. Additionally, his unique storytelling ability has earned him the honor of inclusion on the Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 list as well as Variety's New Hollywood Leaders. Most recently, Chu directed Universal Pictures' critically acclaimed WICKED 1 & 2, starring Oscar-nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Part 1 of the feature-film adaptation of the record-breaking musical phenomenon released in theaters on November 22 and quickly became a box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing Broadway adaption in domestic box office history in its second week earning over $350 million globally. His memoir, Viewfinder, is his journey from growing up in the Silicon Valley to transitioning to Hollywood and helming major studio projects, released Summer 2024. The book is an uplifting tale of belonging, creativity and learning to see who you truly are. His other projects include the critically acclaimed adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS for Warner Bros. Studios as well as the worldwide phenomenon CRAZY RICH ASIANS, which was nominated for numerous awards, including a SAG Award, a Golden Globe and PGA Award. It is one of the top 10 highest grossing romantic comedies of all time and the highest in a decade. It was also the first contemporary studio picture in more than 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast and opened a new chapter in Asian-American representation in Hollywood. Chu is attached to direct the highly anticipated biopic for Britney Spears based on her memoir, The Woman in Me, with Universal.

The year is coming to a close and the penultimate movie for your consideration is 1988's Twins. A time when you got away with a lot more in a PG movie it seems. Finally nice to see some actual chemistry between costars as well. There's a lot of plot(s) going on but it's well done and leads to a rewarding 90+ min experience.
This episode aired on 11/3/25. We talked about some upcoming films, Jake reviewed the Bahubali: The Epic that he caught in theaters this week, and we chatted about our usual movie banter.

We close out our Westerns series with a review of dueling Wyatt Earps. On one side, we have an absolute shitshow of a production saved at the last moment by two powerhouse actors and some absolute perfect melodrama. On the other side, we have Kevin Costner giving the most soulless performance of his life. This is a real contrast, one destined for cable classic status and one that really could just be wiped from the face of the earth.

What happens when you team up Arnold attempting a Russian accent with Jim Belushi doing whatever the heck it is he does? You get a terrible movie with two leads and zero chemistry. At least we get to see Gina Gershon a couple times though? Buckle up, and take a trip on the garbage truck with us.
A movie with this reputation and this level of talent should be expected to at least be a competent film. But somehow Clint Eastwood chose the most tepid, non-committal way to tell a story that has more in common with great existential novels than Westerns. And that might be interesting, if it weren't for the fact that this movie is also convinced it's a western. Gene Hackman is acting his ass off and being just about the meanest son of a bitch you've ever met. But everything else in this movie just feels totally and completely missed, and that's a problem we can't solve because it happens to be one of the most lauded films of all time.

It's rare to have two 80s movies back to back that encapsulate the entirety of the 80s, but boy does this get there. Take the best of the Brat Pack, throw them in a shockingly historically accurate western, sprinkle with some truly wild accents, and you get a rootin' tootin' good time. They're not good movies, but they are enjoyable to watch. Round up, Regulators, as we watch Young Guns and Young Guns II on Have a Good Movie!

2025 has had its japes and shenanigans, but now it's time to flip the swith from "The Fun Movies" to "The Good Movies", as John, El'Ahrai, and everybody's favorite guest star, Cati Glidewell (a.k.a. The Blonde in Front) are here to talk about "One Battle After Another", "The Long Walk", and "Together". Plus! news on government censorship, a surprise out of the Hollywood Labor Relations Story Corner (as ever, sponsored by Oven Mitts), and the usual talkety-talking so many have grown to tolerate. You should listen! Back when they were together she could go weeks without anything more complicated than a pout. Now she was laying some heavy combination of face ingredients on Doc that he couldn't read at all.
CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism, . Mel Brooks' now-classic Western spoof is as controversial as it is well-regarded. Mel pulled absolutely no punches making this movie, and assembled a writer's room that was willing to push the envelope. The only problem is that Mel is too focused on landing the joke and less attentive to the story. It's funny, because that same year he'd release what may have been his masterpiece, a focused, fantastic parody of classic horror. It's hard to know what to cut here, but he definitely needed to figure out what story to tell. Grab your Gucci saddlebacks as we watch Blazing Saddles on Have a Good Movie!

We've been on a run of serious films, so it was time to mix in a Western comedy. At least, that's what this movie is supposed to be, but this is a comedy without a whole lot of jokes. We have some diverging opinions on this one, mostly coming down to the script, because this should be a much better movie than it is. But you can bet we both agree that James Garner is one of the most charming cutie-pies ever. Make sure to order the bars for the jail while we watch Support Your Local Sheriff! on Have a Good Movie!

Back on track with a classic. Can you believe Pat has also never seen the Terminator movies? Insane! Well let's dive into Arnie's iconic role that solidified him as a leading man by having very little dialogue. Less is more when it comes to lines for our main man. twitch.tv/epiccouchtime twitch.tv/brettingtonfrothingslosh discord.gg/gdTEUm9p6c
CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sex work, sexual assault. Spaghetti westerns are their own unique style, their own flavor, and one of the key issues is the dialogue is almost always sloppy and cheesy. Yet Sergio Leone, a true master of filmmaking, took that to a different artistic height, and really made it perfect with this film. This film is impeccably shot, with spans of John Ford's favorite locations that would make the father of the genre salivate. The cast is top notch, with a truly evil villain made all the more bad by the fact that they got America's Dad to play him. The only thing missing is punchier dialogue, but when it comes to Leone, it's worth the eye rolls to wait for the next incredible shot.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of brownface. If this movie is the rebirth of the Western, it'd be hard to tell because it's a real mess. It's a classic, and it absolutely makes sense why, but it's also a total mess of a film. No one knows what movie they're supposed to be in, the script is missing a ton of connective tissue, and Steve McQueen has the audacity to be bad at acting and an insufferable tool. Still, Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson are total badasses, and this Western via samurai flick manages to be a little entertaining. But really, just go watch Seven Samurai instead.

Our next film should, by all rights, be one of the greatest all-time Westerns even made. Instead, it's a mealy-mouthed, boring, limp noodle of a movie that's stuck trying too hard to be a Big Deal instead of being the allegory for McCarthyism it was written to be. Fred Zinneman has shots for days, but he can't get convincing performances from his actors, and nobody in the cast can convincingly portray the real tension of this movie. Sure, it makes sense why this resonates today. But overall it's a real slog to sit through. Watch the clocks as we watch 1952's High Noon on Have a Good Movie!

Another early Arnie film this month BUT one that is actually watchable. Heck, I'll even say it was "Pretty Good". Tune in and let us know if you agree. It's full of Arnie noises and what seems like just a little too much horse violence. twitch.tv/epiccouchtime twitch.tv/brettingtonfrothingslosh discord.gg/gdTEUm9p6c
CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism against Natives, bullying, animal cruelty. Grab your six shooters and your saddles, we're kicking off our first-ever Westerns series! There's a lot in the genre for us to catch up on, and we start this week with a seminal film, one whose importance is unfortunately the only thing it's really got going for it. John Ford practically created the Western as we know making this movie but the dialogue and the characters are so rigid that it's somehow boring for a 90-minute movie. Still, if you've ever rolled your eyes at John Wayne and wondered "how the hell did he get to be a movie star", look no further than his performance here, smoldering and intense while staying relatable. The cast is pretty great, and the stunts are on par with anything that can be done with wires today. Still, this one is more "important" than a fun hang, so proceed with caution. Load up the wagon as we watch 1939's Stagecoach on Have a Good Movie! You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on BlueSky!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse of minors by clergy. While no explicit mentions are made of actions or abuse, listener discretion is advised. This one has been on our must watch list since it came out, and somehow it lingered for 10 years. In fact, you might suspect we did this series just to watch this movie, and you'd be at least a little bit right. Fortunately, the film doesn't disappoint, taking the well-worn movie journalism formula and taking it in a completely different direction. This movie is all about subtlety, accuracy, and most of all, real human storytelling. There's very few frills involved and very few liberties taken, which is the perfect way to tell the story of uncovering one of the most heinous abuses of power and trust in human history. There's no hero worship and no easy answers here, just plain great storytelling. No wonder it won Best Picture. We're finish on a high note with 2015's Spotlight on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: occupation, assassination, Israel & Palestine. We try not to be too political on this show, but sometimes a movie forces our hand. Still, Spielberg's third labor of love isn't a mess because of its subject matter. Instead, it's a messy rush job that has little to no historical value and also fails at being an entertaining movie. Nothing about this story passes the smell test, down to the fact that it looks like a crappy action movie from 2005. We know you can do better, Steven. We're rounding up a group of assassins and wondering if we're the baddies as we watch 2005's Munich on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of homophobia, sexual assault, spousal abuse. This week's movie may not be the gayest movie ever but it's certainly one of the most famous. The star power here is off the charts, with two absolute bona fide movie stars and a perfect up and comer as our three gorgeous, fabulous, out of this world drag queens. Unfortunately the movie seems to think that ultimately we need less time with the queens and more time with a small town looking for help. It's a mistake, and one that keeps the movie from being in the ultimate pantheon. But my, what a magic fairy-dust ride it is. We're headed to Hollywood as we watch 1995's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation. While presented in a lighthearted manner, listener discretion is advised. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call or text 988 for help. Savage Steve Holland probably never contemplated his cartoons and wacky sense of humor would result in him making a true cult teen classic, but that's exactly what happened. John Cusack is just starting to find his path to the ultra-awkward teen of our dreams, and his supporting cast is pretty fun to boot. But mostly, the bits just keep on coming and just when you think a joke is overdone, a new one pops up in its place. We want our two dollars as we watch 1985's Better Off Dead on Have a Good Movie!

Sorry for the false advertising, this in not good, it's also not pretty good, it's absolute trash. Never watch this movie, EVER. I'm still working on forgiveness as Pat made me watch this movie. Tune in to find out just how wretched this stinking turd left in a hot car truly is. witch.tv/epiccouchtime twitch.tv/brettingtonfrothingslosh discord.gg/gdTEUm9p6c
Good movies usually come with a good pedigree; 4 or more stars out of 5, certified “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, Two Thumbs Up from the original masters of the movie review. But we've all seen reviews that make you wonder if that person was even watching the same movie you were. This month, we're trying our hand at writing some bad reviews for good movies that would make anyone think, “what movie were they watching?”Host: Eugene StephensGuests: Kris Andrew, Ray AndrewLike the show?

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gaslighting, spousal abuse, spousal murder, murder, misogyny. We're getting a little spooky this week with a slow-burn cult horror classic that dares to make its female characters complex and unique and its male characters thoroughly one-dimensional. Somehow it's the men that are utterly unbelievable for a change. That said, there's a pretty great movie to be found in among the wreckage, a fact that filmmakers 30 years later were utterly and completely unable to reconcile. People in 2004 thought that making a dark, subtle allegory for the horrors of the patriarchy into live-action Looney Tunes was a good idea, and then made it. And since we're completionists, we subjected ourselves to both. Join us as we enjoy 1975's and despair 2004's The Stepford Wives on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gambling. One would think that with the steely blue eyes of Steve McQueen and the highest-stakes poker game ever concocted, we'd be cooking with fire with this next film. Instead, we get one of the most boring 100-minute movies committed to celluloid. Nearly an hour of this movie is preamble and exposition and when we finally get to the poker game we might as well have just had the Kid lose in the first few hands. There are many ways to approach a good poker movie, and this movie chooses literally none of them. Join us as we yawn through 1965's The Cincinnati Kid on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of death, knife fights, gunfire, murder, sexual misconduct, parental trauma, parental negliect, parental abuse. We weren't aware there was such a thing as being a method director, but this legendary film seems to have proven that's a thing. Because it's one thing to make a schlocky B-movie for teenagers about juvenile delinquents. It's another completely to try to reverse engineer that terrible movie into art for a budding movie star and enable his worst tendencies while also having an affair with his 16-year-old co-star, and his other co-star, and possibly him. This movie is a mess, which is actually being kind, because its director might be even more of a disaster. Somehow a bad movie with great acting gives us perhaps some of the greatest trivia of all time. We're deep in our angsty feels as we watch 1955's Rebel Without a Cause on Have a Good Movie!
