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.

Ding Dong, die Hex ist tot! Oder doch nicht? Nach WICKED ist nun auch WICKED: FOR GOOD (oder eben TEIL 2) im Kino gelandet und verspricht genauso hart (oder eben erfolgreich) einzuschlagen wie sein Vorgänger. Das will natürlich besprochen werden. Zumindest von Bea und Schlogger, von Schröck eher weniger, aber weil er sich nun beide Teile kurz hintereinander reingezogen und generell eine spezielle Meinung zu Musicals hat, gehts so richtig rein ins Reich von Oz, um über Hexen, Zauberer, Scharlatane, Manipulatoren oder geflügelte Affen zu reden. Und natürlich auch über das Phänomen WICKED, über die Verbindungen oder Unterschiede zu DER ZAUBERER VON OZ, über die Optik und Technik, über den Gesang, die besten wie auch die fürchterlichsten Momente, über Ariana Grande oder Cynthia Erivo, über Daniels Lieblingsszene, über G.I. JOE - DIE ABRECHNUNG, auch über ein paar SPOILER oder warum es irgendjemand für eine gute Idee, Michelle Yeoh singen zu lassen. Dabei wird es dann auch allgemeiner um Musicals gehen, wenn Schröck unter anderem von LES MISÉRABLES, CRY BABY oder DER KLEINE HORRORLADEN (LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS) schwärmt oder Bea und Schlogger über das berichten, was sie zuletzt gesehen haben. Nämlich EIN AMERIKANER IN PARIS und WEST SIDE STORY (das Original, wobei das Remake auch noch mal zu Wort kommt). Und Simsalabim: schon sind wieder fast 90 Minuten vorbei, bei denen wir Euch nun eine zauberhafte Zeit und viel Spaß wünschen. Vielleicht wird ja am Ende auch noch gesungen. Im Sinne aller hoffentlich auch gut. Aber bleibt bitte ansonsten so gesund wie gut drauf. Und denkt immer dran: Es ist wie daheim. Keep defying gravity. Bye.

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.

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. He is also in development on Dr. Seuss' OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! with Warner Bros and JJ Abrams' Bad Robot, which will be his first animated film. His previous films include GI.

Michelle Yeoh has created a legendary body of work that defies easy categorisation. You'll know her from cult classic Kung Fu Cinema, Everything Everywhere, All At Once - the film that made her the first Asian woman to be given the Academy Award for Best Actress at the time. She was cast as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies, then starred in the global box office hit Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the brilliantly chilling future mother-in-law in Crazy Rich Asians. This month sees her returning to the role in Wicked, as Madame Morrible. In person she is warm and engaging, with a fascinating story to tell. We talk about why mistakes help us grow, why she felt like a ‘failure' for not having children (something we have in common), stage fright - and how she almost quit after a life-threatening stunt injury. Plus: racism, typecasting and why her mother is the REAL diva. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 01:16 The Journey to Hollywood 02:36 The Role of Family 03:52 On Playing Iconic Roles 08:10 Facing Personal Challenges 24:20 Think Wider: Breaking Family Expectations 25:38 Pursuing Dreams: From Ballet to Acting 27:16 The Hong Kong Film Industry: Early Challenges 27:33 Breaking Stereotypes: Women in Action Films 34:25 Hollywood's Limitations: Typecasting and Minority Roles 37:30 Facing Racism: The Ongoing Struggle 39:22 Stunt Accident: A Turning Point 47:57 Resilience and Reflection: Lessons Learned

Wicked: Teil Zwei | Showdown in Oz Musicalfans haben sich den 19. November 2025 vermutlich schon lange im Kalender angestrichen, denn dann startet – nach einem Jahr Wartezeit – „Wicked: Teil Zwei“ in unseren Kinos und führt nicht nur die Geschichte der grünen Hexe Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) und der strahlenden Glinda (Ariana Grande) fort, sondern bringt sie zugleich zu einem Abschluss. Melanie Kali, Kathi und Stu haben sich für uns erneut ins geheimnisvolle Land Oz begeben und sprechen im Podcast darüber, worin die (erneuten) Stärken der Verfilmung liegen, an welchen Stellen der Zauber vielleicht nicht ganz seine Wirkung entfaltet und ob auch Nicht-Fans erwägen sollten, für den Film, in dem unter anderem Jeff Goldblum und Michelle Yeoh mitwirken, einen Kinobesuch einzuplanen.

It's the 300th(!!!!) episode of Cinema Smorgasbord! Now, normally we would do a big, special celebratory episode, but.. uh.. I forgot it was coming up so instead we're back with those pervy Lucky Stars goofballs as they travel to Thailand for some trademark misadventures/sexual harassment. Thankfully these sequences are intercut with some of the most incredible action sequences of the era featuring (naturally) Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao (and also Andy Lau, Richard Norton, Lau Kar-wing, Dick Wei, Philip Ko, and Yasuaki Kurata!). Michelle Yeoh even pops up briefly. It's a tale of two movies in 1985's TWINKLE TWINKLE, LUCKY STARS. Enjoy! The post Episode 300 – We Do Our Own Stunts – Twinkle Twinkle, Lucky Stars (1985) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.
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.
Michelle Yeoh is an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actress who stars as Madame Morrible in the movie musical Wicked and its upcoming sequel Wicked: For Good. In this conversation from March 2023, Yeoh sits down with Willie Geist to reflect on her sweeping awards-season success for Everything Everywhere All At Once and what it meant to finally have her big Hollywood moment. She looks back on her groundbreaking career, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Memoirs of a Geisha and Crazy Rich Asians, and shares the gratitude and perspective that guide her today.

We continue our wedding series with Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Haven" -- in which Deanna Troi's arranged marriage is interrupted by the arrival of an AIDS allegory. It's … rough. It's rough. Note: Liz says two completely inaccurate things with absolute confidence: first she claims that Wyatt is the only guest star with a costume change (false, that is Lwaxana) and then she claims that he's wearing grey in the holodeck scene (he is wearing burgundy). And unfortunately these were LOAD-BEARING INACCURACIES that couldn't easily be edited out. Never trust a podcaster. "I don't know who wrote this, but I cannot support them." We know early TNG loved a Special Boy, but why is Wyatt Miller the protagonist of this episode? Is Lwaxana Troi a reliable source of information on Betazoid culture and custom? "Genetic bonding" is a fancy word for "child betrothal" and also sounds kiiiiiiiinda sketchy? Were Ian Troi and the Millers attempting to pull some sort of eugenics shenanigans? (Streaming movie about Michelle Yeoh taking out Ian Troi, co-starring Jess Bush as young Lwaxana, when?) Liz is not a fan of Lwaxana and takes issue with the current "if you don't like Lwaxana Troi, you're a misogynist" discourse "I would like to have a dinner party with Lwaxana Troi and Cersei Lannister." Is Mon Mothma the anti-Lwaxana Troi? Either way, she's joining Lwaxana and Cersei for cocktails
Join Alex and guest host Dr. Jill Swirsky as they enter the world of musical theater yet again, this time traveling to the land of Oz in Wicked (2024)! The film is an adaptation of the Broadway play, which was an adaptation of the novel by Gregory Maguire. We follow Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, the eventual Wicked Witch of the West, on her journey as a child and young adult. Along the way, she learns about her true magical abilities but ultimately becomes the villain of Oz when she uncovers a terrible secret. Along for the ride is Ariana Grande's Glinda (Galinda at the start!), who at first is antagonistic toward Elphaba but ultimately creates a powerful friendship. Jeff Goldblum shines as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh is truly a scary Madame Morrible. The story offers a rich well of psychological concepts, from ostracism and adolescent development in its wake, as well as Maslow's self-actualization theory. It's such a good story, you'll definitely end up defying gravity! Read Dr. Swirsky's Psi Chi blog Psychology Pop Culture Corner for contributions on more musicals!

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Tomorrow Never Dies, the 1997 action thriller, the eighteenth film in the James Bond series and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, it follows Bond in his effort to stop the media mogul Elliot Carver, played by Jonathan Pryce, from starting World War III in order to expand his reach over the world's information environment.Is Tomorrow Never Dies the superior film to Goldeneye? Is the power-mad media mogul a more relevant villain in 2025 than it was in 1997? How different is our media landscape, really, from that of an earlier age of American life? How much fun do you think Jonathan Pryce was having on set?Tomorrow Never Dies stars Pierce Brosnan, Jonathan Pryce, Michelle Yeoh, Teri Hatcher, Götz Otto, Ricky Jay, Joe Don Baker, Vincent Schiavelli, Judi Dench and Desmond Llewelyn.The tagline for the film is “The Man. The Number.

What happens to mean girls when they grow up? Some get better at hiding it. Some run companies. And some of us realize we've carried those voices in our own heads.In this episode, I sit down with Erin Gallagher — CEO and founder of Hype Women — who turned one viral post about Jamie Lee Curtis hyping Michelle Yeoh into a global movement. Her new book Hype Women dives head-first into the tangled mess of mean-girl culture, good-girl conditioning, and the patriarchy that benefits from keeping women small.Erin and I get into the psychology of comparison, the lie of “being nice,” and why learning to hype yourself and other women is an act of rebellion. We're unpacking the unspoken rules that keep ambitious women silent, self-critical, and secretly exhausted.

This Best Of replay features Erin Gallagher, the powerhouse founder of the Hype Women movement that went viral after Jamie Lee Curtis's pure joy celebrating Michelle Yeoh's Golden Globe win. Erin turned that iconic moment into a global call for women to stop seeing each other as competition and start becoming each other's biggest cheerleaders. From creating Fairway dinners to launching a movement that's reshaping how we support one another, Erin is proof that when women collaborate instead of compete, we all rise! If you've ever caught yourself feeling jealous of another woman's success or struggled to celebrate wins that aren't your own, this conversation will transform how you show up in the world. Erin breaks down the conditioning that's taught us scarcity thinking, shares tactical ways to become a hype woman, and reveals why the patriarchal system benefits when women fight each other instead of lifting each other up. Plus, she gets real about turning 40, finding her voice, and why she's done caring what people think. Key Takeaways: The hype women blueprint: How to deprogram from seeing other women as competition and start celebrating their wins dailyFrom jealousy to inspiration: The difference between "I want what you have" vs "I don't want you to have what you have"Access over ability: Why women's lack of representation has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with being excluded from the boys' clubMidlife freedom: Why turning 40 unleashed Erin's authentic voice and why not caring what people think is the ultimate superpowerErin says: YNTFO to Hype Women!Erin's new book Hype Women is available for pre-order HERE!Learn more about Jen Marples at https://www.jenmarples.comWant to work with Jen?

Wir setzen unsere "Police Story"-Retrospektive fort mit dem "Police Story 3"-Spinoff "Project S", das hierzulande als "Mega Cop" seinen Weg in die Videotheken fand und in welchem der Michelle Yeoh-Figur aus Teil 3 ganz die Bühne überlassen wurde. Jackie Chan selbst absoviert hingegen nur einen Gastauftritt. In der Beurteilung darüber, ob das Spinoff das Niveau der Hauptteile hält, sind sich Sergej und Martin nicht ganz einig, worüber wiederum Einigkeit besteht, ist die Tatsache, dass sich prima darüber diskutieren lässt.

When a major Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers on March 21, 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian American audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle's Claw. That changed overnight as kung fu movies kicked off a craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, sell hundreds of thousands of video tapes, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-white stars to ever hit motion picture screens.This lavishly illustrated book tells the bone-blasting, spine-shattering story of how these films of fury ― spawned in anti-colonial protests on the streets of Hong Kong ― came to America and raised hell for 15 years before greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down.You'll meet Japanese judo coaches battling American wrestlers in backwoods MMA bouts at county fairs, black teenagers with razor sharp kung fu skills heading to Hong Kong to star in movies shot super fast so they can make it back to the States in time to start 10th grade, and Puerto Rican karate coaches making their way in this world with nothing but their own two fists.It's about an 11-year-old boy who not only created the first fan edit but somehow turned it into a worldwide moneymaker, CIA agents secretly funding a karate movie, the New York Times fabricating a fear campaign about black "karate gangs" out to kill white people, the history of black martial arts in America ("Why does judo or karate suddenly get so ominous because black men study it?," wondered Malcolm X), the death of Bruce Lee and the onslaught of imitators that followed, and how a fight that started in Japanese internment camps during World War II ended in a ninja movie some 40 years later.It's a battle for recognition and respect that started a long, long time ago and continues today in movies like The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Black Panther and here, for the first time, is the full uncensored story.2025's revised and expanded hardcover edition features new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, movie poster artists, low-rent film distributors, 1980s video companies, and more!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

That changed overnight as kung fu movies kicked off a craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, sell hundreds of thousands of video tapes, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-white stars to ever hit motion picture screens.This lavishly illustrated book tells the bone-blasting, spine-shattering story of how these films of fury ― spawned in anti-colonial protests on the streets of Hong Kong ― came to America and raised hell for 15 years before greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down.You'll meet Japanese judo coaches battling American wrestlers in backwoods MMA bouts at county fairs, black teenagers with razor sharp kung fu skills heading to Hong Kong to star in movies shot super fast so they can make it back to the States in time to start 10th grade, and Puerto Rican karate coaches making their way in this world with nothing but their own two fists.It's about an 11-year-old boy who not only created the first fan edit but somehow turned it into a worldwide moneymaker, CIA agents secretly funding a karate movie, the New York Times fabricating a fear campaign about black "karate gangs" out to kill white people, the history of black martial arts in America ("Why does judo or karate suddenly get so ominous because black men study it?," wondered Malcolm X), the death of Bruce Lee and the onslaught of imitators that followed, and how a fight that started in Japanese internment camps during World War II ended in a ninja movie some 40 years later.It's a battle for recognition and respect that started a long, long time ago and continues today in movies like The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Black Panther and here, for the first time, is the full uncensored story.2025's revised and expanded hardcover edition features new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, movie poster artists, low-rent film distributors, 1980s video companies, and more!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
We're back, and we've got our hidden strings attached, and we're flying through the trees as wee discus Ang Lee's wuxia masterpiece, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from the year 2000. We perform a deep-dive on the cast, such as Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-fats career defining performances. The beautifully constructed fight choreography, the Green Destiny sword lore, and lasting impact on world cinema, that turned this Chinese art house films, into a must see blockbuster.
We saw the big-screen debut of the trailer for Wicked: For Good. And from Ariana's first “Elphaba Thropp, I know you're out here” to Cynthia's final “I'm off to see the Wizard,” the trailer is nothing short of two minutes and forty-six seconds of glorious new footage to get Sentimental over. And we've got some questions too. Where are Boq and Nessa? What scene are all those gay rainbow lights in? And how is Michelle Yeoh the fiercest woman on the planet? All this and more in our official reaction to the Wicked: For Good trailer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"I'm not afraid. It's the Wizard who should be afraid of me." We watched "Wicked" with our good Judy, Mitchell Anderson, and it was just as good as the first time we watched it! We knew we wanted to review this episode here on our show, and we thought there's no time like the present. Here we are, about halfway between the release of "Wicked" and her upcoming sequel, "Wicked: For Good," so we thought we'd take a look at what makes this movie work so darn well. Obviously, the casting of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande is on point, but the supporting cast - Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and company - are all so wonderful, especially under the direction of Jon M. Chu. Allowing so many of them to ad-lib and keeping those gems in the final cut is a genius stroke! We promise to keep the singing to a minimum, but whether we keep that promise is to be seen. Yes, we have some hot takes on the movie itself, but we talk about what's to come in "For Good,” our predictions on how that half of the story will be presented, as well as a couple of fun facts we dug up in our research. We may not be true theater gays at heart, but needless to say, we're "Wicked" gays now, and we will be acting as such. Alert your local all-night diner - we're coming in at 11 p.m. and causing an absolute scene like it's opening night of our high school musical!

In the previous episode, I talked with author Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick, but there wasn't room to include this bonus material about Mallory's new book, Daughter of Daring. It tells the amazing story of Helen Gibson, the first superstar professional stuntwoman in Hollywood. She was like a combination of Annie Oakley and Michelle Yeoh at a time when silent movie stars were trying to outdo each other in their death-defying stunts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wow! The first new Star Trek movie in eight years! What's that you say? Oh. TV movie? And it's less a "movie" and more a "we were going to develop a new series and that fell through so we made it a one-off, 90 minute thing?" Huh. Well, Star Trek: Section 31 may not be a "movie" in the same way we've used that word for most of its existence, but it was still a good excuse to hang out with our friends Adam and Ben from Max Fun's terrific Trek shows Greatest Gen and Greatest Trek, so every cosmic cloud has a silver lining, we guess.Wikipedia page for Star Trek: Section 31Recommended in this episode:Dan: Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938)Stu: Troop Beverly Hills (1989)Elliott: Chilly Scenes of Winter (1979)Adam: Babylon (2022)Ben: Down With Love (2003)Go to Squarespace.com for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch, go to www.squarespace.com/FLOP to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Michelle Yeoh was a gravity-defying, glass ceiling-smashing Hong Kong action film star for years, until she decides to tackle Hollywood. But her road to international stardom is paved with heartbreak and struggles. She endures years fighting against typecasting and borderline racism in Tinseltown, until she finally makes her mark - and history - with an inspirational Oscar win at the age of 60! Never before has there been a star we've been so happy to see win “everything...everywhere...all at once.”You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
