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.

Moviewallas is on YouTube! Reviews: Rental Family – Wicked for Good – Hamnet Happy Thanksgiving weekend! In this episode of Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi gather for a packed holiday show featuring three very different films – from heartfelt indie drama, to mega-musical fantasy, to prestige literary adaptation. This Week's Reviews Rental Family Brendan Fraser stars in a soulful tale about an American actor in Tokyo who finds unlikely purpose working for a Japanese “rental family” agency. We discuss the film's charm, emotional beats, cultural context, and Fraser's beautifully understated performance. Wicked for Good The second part of the two-film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. Rashmi dives into whether the sequel improves on part one, how it ties into The Wizard of Oz, and what works (or doesn't) about its pacing, spectacle, and storytelling. Hamnet Chloé Zhao adapts Maggie O'Farrell's acclaimed novel about Shakespeare's family life and the tragedy that shaped some of his greatest work. We debate the film's pacing, emotional impact, performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, and whether the hype helps or hurts. Join the Conversation Have you seen any of these films?

When the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo kicks off on December 4, first-time NFR qualifier Lane Mitchell will be backing in the box on a 10-year-old gray stallion named Oz Ona Hot Streak, owned and raised by Nebraska breeder Nate Osentowski.Oz is a 14.3 hand rocket by A Streak Of Fling and out of Oz One Hot Mama, a One Hot Jose daughter. He is fast, honest and about as drama free as a stallion can be. He is also making history. Oz won the 2019 AQHA Junior Heading World Championship and is the first AQHA roping world champion to ever go on and qualify for the NFR in team roping.In this episode, you will hear how Oz got his name, why Nate bought him back after selling him as a baby, how Lane ended up with the ride and what makes this stallion the same horse whether he is running at Salinas, Odessa or under the bright lights of the Thomas & Mack. We will also talk about his growing breeding career, his special day in Nebraska, and what this NFR run means to everyone behind him.---Today's episode of The Score is brought to you by Fast Back Ropes, proud supporters of team ropers and the presenting sponsor of this show.

What happens when filmmaking becomes a marathon of collaboration — spanning years, thousands of shots, and the world of Oz itself? For Wicked: For Good, that was the daily reality for Film Editor Myron Kerstein and Visual Effects Supervisor Pablo Helman. This week on Below the Line, Skid welcomes back Myron Kerstein and introduces Pablo Helman, who makes his Below the Line debut to discuss their shared journey on Wicked: For Good, the sequel to Jon M. Chu's Wicked. Together, they reflect on what it means to sustain creative momentum through two interconnected films and the largest project of their careers. This episode unpacks: Building a years-long partnership between editorial and visual effects — and learning to “finish each other's sentences” after thousands of hours together Integrating production, post, and VFX pipelines from the earliest days of Wicked through the sequel's final render Designing the epic opening battle on the Yellow Brick Road, where performance, camera, and creature animation all converge Navigating Jon M. Chu's collaborative process — a director who, as Myron puts it, is “a collector of people” and thrives on creative dialogue Crafting the technically complex “Girl in the Bubble” sequence — eight stitched plates, multiple reflections, and a seamless illusion that tested every department's trust Refining the “No Good Deed” sequence — balancing raw emotion, musical rhythm, and visual effects spectacle Intercutting Glinda's wedding with the imprisoned creatures to heighten tension and emotional contrast across parallel storylines How small creative choices — like a cape's weight, a confetti storm, or a single flash of red sky — became storytelling tools in the hands of two artists who speak the same cinematic language What emerges is a portrait of collaboration under pressure — one built on mutual respect, relentless curiosity, and a shared belief that every frame, no matter how fantastical, should feel grounded and human.

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.

A year after Part I, the Wicked movie franchise returns with For Good, an adaptation of the second act of the Broadway musical. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester examine how Wicked: For Good takes advantage of the movie format, and the passage of time since the original musical was written, to strengthen the character arcs of Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero in tandem with the story's themes. Like Part I, For Good also maximizes the opportunity to include locations, action sequences, and other visual elements which wouldn't be possible in a Broadway stage production. The two new songs written for Wicked: For Good, Elphaba's "No Place Like Home" early in the movie and Glinda's "Girl in the Bubble" near the end, reinforce the two characters' motivations for their crucial decisions in the story. Each song also feels especially timely, directly addressing themes of resistance to oppression, the influence of propaganda, and the emotional and psychological obstacles that sometimes must be overcome to make the right choice and do the right thing. Although the characters had similar motivations in the original Broadway show, the new songs for Wicked: For Good reflect the impact of recent political and social events to drive home themes that perhaps felt a little more abstract and distant to many listeners two decades ago. Along the path of their own respective journeys, Elphaba and Glinda also change the other Wicked characters around them, and ultimately Oz itself. Yet For Good also takes place in the background of The Wizard of Oz in a much more direct way than Part I's story. If there's a weak point in For Good, it's that this movie leans a bit too heavily on the assumption that its audience remembers the details of Dorothy's plotline from the earlier film, an assumption that may not be as workable for a mainstream movie release in 2025 compared to the theatrical musical attendees at the turn of the twenty-first century. Together, though, Wicked: Part I and Wicked: For Good tell a complete story for Elphaba and Glinda, and how they changed each other forever.

THE GHOSTBUSTERS FACE A CHILLING NEW THREAT!! Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   With Finn Wolhard returning in Stranger Things 5 & McKenna Grace in the upcoming Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Tara & Johnald RETURN to give their Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Tara Erickson & John Humphrey react to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024), the spooky, funny, & surprisingly heartfelt horror-comedy sequel directed by Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist 2015) that brings two generations of Ghostbusters back to where it all started: New York City. Set 3 years after Afterlife, the Spengler family relocates to the classic Firehouse to rebuild the team — only to unleash an ancient evil capable of freezing the world with fear itself. Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Clueless) returns as Gary Grooberson, now fully suited up as a Ghostbuster alongside Carrie Coon (The Leftovers, Gone Girl) as Callie Spengler. McKenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House, Captain Marvel) shines as Phoebe Spengler, whose underage status sidelines her — leading to a fateful friendship with Melody, played by Emily Alyn Lind (Fear Street) that ties directly into the film's chilling mystery. The young crew is rounded out by Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, IT) as Trevor Spengler, Celeste O'Connor (Freaky, Madame Web) as Lucky Domingo, and Logan Kim (Afterlife, Home Sweet Home Alone) as Podcast. New faces include Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals, The Big Sick) as quirky fire-master Nadeem Razmaadi, Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, The Sandman) as occult expert Dr. Hubert Wartzki, & James Acaster (Cinderella 2021, Repertoire) as tech wizard Dr. Lars Pinfield. And of course the legends are back: Bill Murray (Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation) as Peter Venkman, Dan Aykroyd (Blues Brothers, Driving Miss Daisy) as Ray Stantz, Ernie Hudson (The Crow, Oz) as Winston Zeddemore, Annie Potts (Pretty in Pink, Toy Story) as Janine Melnitz, and William Atherton (Die Hard, Real Genius) as Walter Peck.

The complex needs of adopted children are leaving parents at breaking point as they say they are being denied support then blamed by authorities when they can no longer cope, a BBC investigation has found. A BBC Freedom of Information request revealed the scale of the crisis, and the number of families that are returning their children to the care system. Anita Rani is joined by BBC special correspondent Judith Moritz and Fiona Wells who runs PATCH, Passionate Adopters Targeting Change with Hope, a support group for adoptive parents.For the last two years, the mystery of exactly what happened at Erin Patterson's dining table had gripped the world. And then in September this year, after a nine-week trial, Erin Patterson was jailed for life - with no chance of release for at least 33 years. Her crime: murdering three relatives by intentionally poisoning them with wild mushrooms and trying to kill another. Dubbed the ‘Mushroom Murders', Anita speaks to Sarah Krasnostein, who wrote a book about Erin's trial, and Dr Stephanie Brown, a historical criminologist, to understand the public view of women who poison.Camille O'Sullivan has toured with the Pogues and was chosen by Yoko Ono to perform at Meltdown festival in the Royal Festival Hall. Now the Irish-French singer is bringing her hit show to the Soho Theatre in London. LoveLetter is a personal response to the loss of the artists who inspired her, particularly her late friends Shane McGowan and Sinéad O'Connor. The second part of the hugely popular film Wicked - called Wicked: For good, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, continues to take the UK and the world by storm. It's already taken over $226m at the global box office. Telling an alternative version of the Wizard of Oz, it explores how our perception of good and evil can be distorted. It's also the story of the unlikely friendship between Elphaba and Glinda and the tensions that can be put on that friendship. Anita is joined by the Independent's chief album critic Helen Brown and film critic Leila Latif to discuss why Wicked has been so successful and what it tell us about female friendships today. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

This week, we're following the yellow brick road straight into an Oz double feature—Wicked: For Good and Return to Oz. Two films, decades apart, both proving that no matter how far you wander, you can't escape those ruby-slippered roots. To keep our courage up, we crack open two high-octane potions from Lagunitas: the Maximus Colossal IPA and the Shugga Original Recipe—big, bold brews with enough ABV to make even the Cowardly Lion roar. Let's just say there's no place like foam. Joining us is returning guest Adam Beam, who chatted with us about the original Wicked: Part One. He's back to help us untangle this Emerald-City-sized tapestry of witches, Wheelers, wizardry, claymation fever dreams, and questionable Kansas parenting. We ease on down the cinematic road, talk sequels that aren't really sequels, prequels that might be sequels, and why Return to Oz still feels like the dark and stormy night Dorothy really needed a therapist for. If you're into green girls, Gump gliders, and stories stitched together with a whole lot of heart, this episode is over the rainbow and then some. Grab a Maximus, click those heels, and join us—because this week, it's Oz or nothing.

It's the season of giving thanks! While Troy and Roger took the week off from recording to celebrate Thanksgiving, they didn't want to leave you without an episode. So they dove into their extensive Patreon vault and pulled out the perfect title. With Wicked for Good dominating the box office, the guys are sharing their own journey to Oz as they discuss the dark, often terrifying 1985 sequel to The Wizard of Oz : Return to Oz. Follow Troy and Roger down the crumbling yellow brick road as they revisit this often-forgotten sequel.

WICKED returns with the roar of a tornado…BUT IS IT “FOR GOOD”? Surprisingly, WillDaBeast loves musicals as much as Cupcake does and so it goes…Part 2 of the Broadway musical Wicked is back! Filmed all at the same time but split into two parts and separated by one year, the Jon M. Chu directed Act Two, still starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathon Bailey, rolls out a yellow brick road back to the continuing story of Glinda and Elphaba. But gone are the sunny, sing-songy, Mean Girls shenanigans replaced by a darker and more urgent tone with a spotlight on the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and the enchantingly evil Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Will audiences take to this and click their heels in joy or will they wish a house was dropped on the at-times juvenile and rushed second act? Will anyone care how this story threads its connections to the beloved “Wizard of Oz”? FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD to the new streamlined (read: shorter) Watch Skip Plus and find out!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:33 Intro / Splitting a Movie into 2 parts06:16 Wicked For Good: Below & Above the Line13:06 Spoiler Free Thoughts25:13 WICKED FOR GOOD SPOILED!- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#wicked #wickedforgood #cynthiaerivo #arianagrande #jeffgoldblum #michelleyeoh #jonathanbailey #jonmchu #alicebrooks #johnpowell #stephenschwartz #winnieholzman #danafox #universalpictures #marcplattproductions

No novo episódio do podcast, exploramos as camadas mais instáveis, controversas e surpreendentes de Wicked: Parte 2, a conclusão cinematográfica dirigida por Jon M. Chu que retorna ao universo de Oz para revelar o destino definitivo de Elphaba e Glinda. O filme, lançado em 20 de novembro de 2025, funciona como uma reconstrução emocional e política da fábula original e levanta questões importantes sobre ritmo, estrutura e impacto narrativo.O episódio analisa como a segunda parte do musical, conhecida por sua densidade dramática, apresenta um desafio intrínseco ao cinema. A necessidade de resolver múltiplas tramas reduz o dinamismo, criando momentos de irregularidade que dividem opiniões. Ainda assim, Wicked: Parte 2 acerta ao aprofundar a amizade turbulenta entre Elphaba e Glinda, entregando um olhar mais íntimo e complexo do que o visto nos palcos.A conversa inclui também uma avaliação do elenco, com destaque absoluto para Cynthia Erivo, cuja performance transforma Elphaba em uma presença arrebatadora, enquanto Ariana Grande surpreende ao unir delicadeza e força dramática. Ao mesmo tempo, discutimos escolhas narrativas que deixam a desejar, como o desenvolvimento apressado de Nessa Rose, a simplificação de números musicais e a representação política do Mágico, que reforça o subtexto antifascista da história.Rafael Arinelli recebe Laysa Zanetti, Edu Sacer e Thiago Muniz para debater o quanto Wicked: Parte 2 consegue - ou não - resolver as pontas soltas de sua jornada épica, equilibrando espetáculo, emoção e crítica social. Uma conversa essencial para quem ama musicais, adaptações e o poder simbólico das bruxas de Oz.• 04m26: Pauta Principal• 1h15m29: Plano Detalhe• 1h34m13: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

To mark the recent release of the second Wicked film, for this week's episode we're revisiting my 2020 interview with Dee Michel, author of the book Friends of Dorothy: Why Gay Boys and Gay Men Love the Wizard of Oz. Dee's book is an in-depth examination of queer Oz fandom, which for him has its roots in happy memories of watching the movie with his dad. Dee grew up in the 1950s with the threat of the red scare looming over his family — his parents met at a Communist Party meeting, and there was the constant threat that the family would be exposed. Added to the general chaos of the time was the discovery that his father was gay, and Dee's own struggle to find his place in the world.And before we get to that, a quick heads up that I have a new YouTube video coming this weekend about the powerful gay magic behind The Wizard of Oz and Wicked. Check out my videos at youtube.com/mattbaume.

It's time to embrace our witchy obsession as we review Wicked: For Good, the long-awaited second chapter of Elphaba and Glinda's story! Sarah is joined by Julie Gildersleeve, Courtney Turckel, and Kelly Turckel; we head to Oz together for a spoiler-filled discussion of how this film expands on the stage musical while weaving more tightly into the events of The Wizard of Oz. With Elphaba in exile and Glinda rising as the "Good" face of the Wizard's regime, the story explores friendship, perception, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be seen as "wicked" or "good." We break down the emotional weight of the film — from Glinda's heartbreaking loneliness beneath her bubbly public persona, to Elphaba's fierce determination to protect the animals and expose the truth. We also dive into standout musical moments, including the heart-breaking "For Good," the haunting "No Good Deed," the introspective "The Girl in the Bubble," and the love song "As Long As You're Mine." The vocals, cinematography, and performances (especially Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo) are nothing short of stunning. We also explore the tragic origins of the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow, calling out the storytelling hidden in the costume design and emotional consequences of each character's transformation. But more than anything, this group of girlfriends dives into the heart of the story — Elphaba and Glinda — and how their friendship, and ours, has been changed for good.

This week, what does defense technology look like in 2025? Oz talks to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dexter Filkins about his recent piece in The New Yorker titled “Is the US ready for the next war?” They discuss how the Ukraine and Israel are reimagining what warfare looks like in the 21st century, Silicon Valley’s race toward fully autonomous killer robots, and how it all might affect the potential conflict in Taiwan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you look up information online, you may find that it's harder to remember later. It's a frequent phenomenon called digital amnesia. This episode begins by explaining why it happens so often — and what you can do about it. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2024.1332030/full Oz Pearlman is probably the world's greatest mentalist. He doesn't claim to read minds — he reads people. Recently featured on 60 Minutes, topping bestseller lists, and even guessing Joe Rogan's ATM PIN on his podcast, Oz brings his uncanny intuition to Something You Should Know. In our conversation, he even guesses something from my childhood he couldn't possibly know. He also reveals what he's learned about success, handling rejection, and making powerful impressions. His book is Read Your Mind: Proven Habits for Success from the World's Greatest Mentalist. (https://amzn.to/47MP9S7) Of all creatures on Earth, humans are the only ones who keep pets — and love them like family. So how did this relationship begin? Why do some people choose exotic pets? And what are the real benefits of pet ownership for both human and animal? Science broadcaster Jay Ingram, host of two national science programs in Canada and author of twenty books, joins me to explore the fascinating science behind our bond with pets. His latest book is The Science of Pets. (https://amzn.to/43ilq1S). Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay healthy, but here's a twist: you can burn more calories simply by walking differently.
