Hey EICrackers, merry Friday...get ready for a magical, festive &... fatigued, episode!First up, Wicked For Good. We all went down the yellow brick road to the cinema to see the sequel. The story picks up after Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) has fled the Emerald City and been branded the "Wicked Witch of the West" by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Glinda (Ariana Grande), now "Glinda the Good," struggles with her public role as the Wizard's associate while her friendship with Elphaba is tested. The film focuses on their final journey to see each other with empathy and change Oz "for good". We get into it.Next! We don't know if you've heard, but Christmas is coming. How do we know this? Because the annual supermarket/high street Christmas adverts have dropped in the UK. High street festive ads have become peak Christmas culture in the UK. For our non-UK listeners, Lena Dunham did a fairly good poke at this in Too Much with the John Lewis Rita Ora playing Santa ad. So this year, we're going to take a look at some of the big ones that have dropped.And finally... from Christmas Ads to CHRIST, not another ad. In a piece on Substack, Hannah Glenn explores her own fatigue with advertising, in a world where everything and everyone seems to be trying to sell her something.

UNEQUAL SEQUEL - BONUS REVIEW EPISODE- WICKED: FOR GOOD~ This week's extra episode is tossing the spell-book, stirring the cauldron, and conjuring a few suspiciously sparkly charms out of thin air—because nothing in Oz ever stays the way the prophecy predicted. Dave and Rich are going full emerald-tinted investigation mode for Wicked: For Good, the latest broom-swooping, timeline-twisting return to musical mayhem in everyone's favourite gravity-defying saga. With new enchantments, old rivalries, and enough moral ambiguity to make a flying monkey dizzy, can this sequel recapture true magic—or is it all just green smoke, wishful thinking, and aggressively lit power ballads? We're tracking witches, rewoven destinies, and sequels convinced they can out-sing fate to find out: does this follow-up soar… or does it come crashing down like a dropped spell-book? On a side note we do dive in spoilers but it's very clear when that happens because we do give out a big warning. So if you don't want it spoiled then stay clear of this episode.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Thursday, authorities announced charges against a 30-year-old Virginia man believed to have placed two pipe bombs at the Democratic and Republican national committees the night before the January 6th, 2021 unrest at the U.S. Capitol. During a press conference announcing the charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed “search warrants are being executed, and there could be more charges to come.” She added: “Let me be clear. There was no new tip, there was no new witness—just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work.” Initial reports suggest the suspect is an anarchist. 3:30pm- A Washington Post report states that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a series of deadly strikes on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, ordering military officials to “kill everybody.” The directive, according to the report, led to a second strike killing several crew members that survived the initial assault on the vessel. The New York Times, as well as the White House, dispute that Hegseth explicitly authorized the second strike or ordered to eliminate survivors. The NYT also reports that the “U.S. military intercepted radio communications from one of the survivors to what [officials] said were narco-traffickers.” 3:50pm- Christmas music, Be Nice to Matt Week is getting cut short, and did a munchkin actually hang himself on the set of The Wizard of Oz?

For this week's Sewers of Paris, I'm chatting with four Oz superfans about their intense connections to films like The Wizard of Oz, books like Return to Oz, and adaptations like Wicked. These conversations are all part of my new video about Oz and queer culture that just went live on YouTube — check that out at YouTube.com/mattbaume . In this episode, you'll hear from writer and artist Terry Blas about his childhood traveling between Idaho and Mexico, which felt very similar to Dorothy's journey; you'll hear from writer Josh Trujillo about his youthful obsession to Oz collectibles; from YouTuber Emma McMahon about the positive lessons she picked up from Wicked, before she even knew she needed to hear them; and Oz scholar Dee Michel about his surprising historical discoveries about Oz and queer culture.Dee Michel: https://www.deemichel.info/Josh Trujillo: https://www.joshtrujillo.com/Terry Blas: https://terryblas.com/Emma McMahan: https://www.mcmahan.media/ Emma's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mediaprocessingchannel/Watch Emma's video about Wicked's stage-to-screen adaptation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWZ1nB1mNy0

Murray Bookchin est l'un des grands penseurs de l'écologie politique du 20ème siècle à l'origine des plusieurs concepts innovants comme l'écologie sociale, le municipalisme libertaire ou le communalisme.Pierre Sauvêtre, maître de conférences en sociologie à l'Université Paris Nanterre vient de consacrer un ouvrage à sa pensée : Murray Bookchin ou l'objectif communocène paru aux éditions de l'atelier.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: For Good is the musical fantasy film which adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is 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 adaption. It is the sequel to Wicked (2024). Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda (Arianna Grande) resides at the palace in Emerald City, revelling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she'll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good. We break down all things from adapting Act 2, the magic of acting, and the pros and cons of leaning into all of the Wizard of Oz elements.

#238 Hamnet, Wicked For Good, If Beale Street Could Talk A flourishing love story between Agnes and Will that becomes emotionally charged and complicated after one of their three children gets sick, which inspires cathartic events.

The grand love story of Tish and Fonny gets derailed and severely tested when Fonny is arrested for a serious crime that he never committed.    Next Time: Wake Up Dead Man, Eternity, Once Upon a Time in America   Recent Discoveries Ralf: A Merry Little Ex-Mas, Jingle Bell Heist Luke: We Live In Time, Sisu Road to Revenge, Rental Family, Frankenstein, The Wizard of Oz Oscar: Honey Don't, Elio, Zootopia 2, Relay, Rental Family, Frankenstein   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:01:57 Recent Discoveries 00:45:17 Hamnet 01:08:10 spoilers 01:32:02 Wicked For Good 01:55:46 spoilers 02:13:23 If Beale Street Could Talk 02:49:09 EXIT

This week the boys head to 1936 to discuss “Dodsworth”, the film that may very well have catapulted William Wyler to the upper echelon of great directors of the time, and actors flocked to him- he'd be working with Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and Lawrence Olivier within three years! Starring an incredible Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton as a three-dimensional villainess of sorts, the scene work, art direction, and adult subject matters give us lots to discuss… while drinking.

Today on Script Apart, we're off to see the wizards – the wonderful storytelling wizards, that is, behind the first ever musical we've covered on the show. In the early ‘00s, New York-born-and-raised playwright Winnie Holzman was, like the rest of the city, still reeling from the September 11 attacks that claimed 2977 lives. It wasn't just the attacks themselves that haunted her – it was the division they wrought too. Racial minorities – America's Muslim population, specifically – were scapegoated and othered. All of a sudden, a war stood on the horizon. And so, Winnie got to work with composer Stephen Schwartz on a musical that would subtly grapple with the skyrocketing racism of that moment. Soon, something Wicked was to come our way.Inspired by a book of the same name by author Gregory Maguire, Winnie and Stephen's Broadway extravaganza took one of the defining stories in cinematic history – the Wizard Of Oz – and invited audiences to look at it a little differently. What if the so-called Wicked Witch Of The West in that film – all green skin and shrill cackle – wasn't actually the terroristic threat that Dorothy and viewers thought her to be? What if there was a more tender truth to this woman, who lest we forget, in that 1939 movie, was just trying to retrieve the ruby slippers worn by her dead sister, crushed by Dorothy's house when it's transported via tornado to Oz? Chances are you know what happened next. Forbes Magazine estimates that 65m people have seen Wicked since it hit Broadway in 2003, quickly expanding around the globe. It's the fourth longest-running play in Broadway history. And now, it's a blockbuster smash too. Last year, Winnie's screen adaptation of the musical, written with my other guest today, Dana Fox, of Cruella fame, began its emerald takeover of movie theatres. That first film, simply titled Wicked and covering the first half of the stage play, was a smash. Now, Wicked For Good is here, bringing this tale to the end of its yellow brick road, and Winnie and Dana are full of emotion and reflection. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, they tell me about the strangeness of this movie arriving in this particular political moment. I don't know about you guys at home, but the sight in Wicked and Wicked For Good of marginalised groups – munchkins and animals – rounded up and forced from their homes in a year of ICE raids and anti-immigrant anger, struck a really heartbreaking chord for me. It's not all politics, though, I promise! We also get into the prisons of perception that Elphaba and Glinda, played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande respectively, both exist in and have to break free of in this story. And you'll also hear the pair's reflections on the huge differences between this story about the Gregory Maguire original, which saw Elphaba join an underground terror cell.

Apparently in movie history, there are only 2 actors to have 3 Number 1 films in a year. This sounds crazy! So Movie Mike investigates to find out if that is actually true and breaks down what actors he thinks have had the single best year run in movies from his research. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Wicked: For Good. Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda resides at the palace in Emerald City, reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she'll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good. Mike shares why he felt it could have been one movie, Arianda Grande and Cynthia Erivo difference in performances, how it compares to the Broadway musical but why he loves what the franchise has done for the movie theater experience. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Super Mario Galaxy starring Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy. He shares why he thinks about the new voice actors joining the cast and where it ranks on his list of most anticipated video game movies and his favorite Super Mario games. New Episodes Every Monday!
