We break down the Grammy nomination picks, Oscar noms, and why Sinners deserves Best Picture (no notes), plus unpack the absolute audacity of Wicked getting shut out.

 Interview date: November 30th, 2025Episode Summary:In this Business of Dance interview, Shanie Blais—Montreal-born, LA-based dancer—shares how her career evolved from a small-town studio kid into a working professional with major credits including the Wicked film, the Wicked live performance special, and a stadium/world tour with Karol G. Shanie walks listeners through her early training, her decision to leave Montreal to pursue bigger opportunities, and how she tested both New York and LA in “three months at a time” visits before fully committing.A major focus of the conversation is the O-1 visa journey: what “deal memos” actually are, how relationships and credibility build a strong case, and why being physically present in the market (classes, events, consistent visibility) matters. Shanie emphasizes that success today looks different than past generations—less open calls and more direct booking—meaning dancers must treat social media as their resume while still doing the real-world work of training and networking.Throughout the Q&A, Shanie offers grounded advice on staying versatile, building confidence and social skills, and protecting mental health in an industry that runs in seasons of highs and lows. From navigating London as a newcomer on Wicked to learning how to balance training with rest, her biggest message is clear: show up, be kind, plant seeds without expectations, and trust timing—because when it's meant for you, it will align.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome + Wicked introduction(4:20) – Montreal roots & competition beginnings(11:31) – Choosing LA over New York(14:59) – O-1 visa strategy & deal memos(22:22) – Signing with an agency in LA(24:17) – First LA booking: Camila Cabello(26:35) – Booking Wicked without audition(30:00) – Direct booking era & social media resumes(37:11) – Touring with Karol G: stadium life(56:19) – Mental health, balance, and longevityBiography:A professional dancer, born in Montreal and based in Los Angeles for the past five years, I live my passion for dance by collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry. I recently toured the world with the renowned Latin artist KarolG and worked on one of the greatest films,, Wicked. Throughout my international career, I have performed alongside artists such as Doechii, Bebe Rexha, Camila Cabello, Olivia Rodrigo, and Shania Twain.  For me, dance is a way to tell stories, connect, and inspire.Connect on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shanie_blais/

We now live in a world where Kate Hudson is a two-time Academy Award nominee. Let that sink in. The 98th Academy Award nominations are officially out, and while we're usually the first to complain about the Academy playing it safe, this year they chose violence. From historic record-breaking hauls to the complete and utter erasure of Oz, the nominations for the Class of 2026 are nothing if not dramatic. Newsweek's H. Alan Scott is joined by colleagues Lauren Giella and Kyle McGovern to react to every snub, surprise, and "shook" moment of the season.

Oscar nominations are in, and “Sinners” landed a record 16 nominations — surprising some, but not Variety's Clayton Davis, who called it. The Variety Awards Circuit Podcast Roundtable team looks at this year's nominations, and some of the real surprises and snubs (and explains why “Wicked For Good” got a goose egg). “One Battle After Another” may still be a frontrunner, but we have ourselves a real Oscar race!

Julia Washington (Prose and Glow) is back to dive deep into her feelings about Glinda now that she has seen Wicked: For Good. Natalie and Julia will discuss the deep amount of empathy Elphaba holds for Glinda, even when Glinda is still siding with Oz and taking the privileges that come along with that choice. They will also discuss Glinda's path to understanding it isn't enough to entertain the thought that there are oppressive systems surrounding you, eventually you do have to do some actions to bring about change. There will also be discussion surrounding how the media serves as a reflection of our society as well as some troubling thoughts on our society's diminishing media literacy.  Was Julia sold on Glinda being changed for good?

Wicked fans reckon there’s trouble brewing behind the scenes, and one tiny detail has sent the internet spiralling. Ariana Grande noticeably stayed silent on Cynthia Erivo’s birthday, and now everyone’s reading way too deeply into it. Is it nothing, or is it the pettiest celeb snub of all time? We unpack the clues and let you decide after you hear what really got fans talking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ty and Kanye want to open a Thai restaurant called "Ty Land" so naturally we came up with our own genius (or terrible?) restaurant concepts. Wicked fans reckon Ariana and Cynthia are in a full-blown feud because Ari skipped the birthday post this year—the shade of it all! Turns out people who swear apparently live longer, which means Ricki's basically immortal at this point. Plus Ricki and Joel battled it out in the first Quick Draw of the year while Victoria Beckham's son liked a video roasting her wedding dance moves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When unchecked power rewrites the story of America, who gets to live, who gets to speak, and who quietly disappears?In this episode of ART IS CHANGE, Bill Cleveland shares next chapter in the continuing Weather Report, (now called the Arts Freedom Weather Report) Rather than chasing single headlines or isolated outrages, this episode steps back to examine the cultural climate shaping 2026: how small policy shifts stack up, how institutions quietly recalibrate under authoritarian pressure, and how artists and cultural organizations are responding in real time.In this show, we explore three critical dynamics shaping the arts and democracy right now:How culture is being strategically targeted and weaponized — through funding shifts, legal pressure, and narrative control.What's actually happening on the ground at the NEA, in public media, museums, universities, and courts.How artists and organizers are responding with preparation, creativity, and discipline, treating resistance as a learned practice rather than a spontaneous reaction.Listen in as we establish a cultural baseline for 2026 — one we'll return to again and again — and map the early warning signs, fault lines, and sources of strength shaping the struggle for artistic freedom and democratic life.NOTABLE MENTIONSPeopleBill ClevelandHost of ART IS CHANGE and founder of the Center for the Study of Art & Community.Renee Nicole GoodeMinneapolis poet, mother, and community member whose work and life are honored at the close of the episode.

Women's bodies are not a trend and they're not up for public debate.With the release of Wicked: Part Two, conversations about the bodies of its stars, including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have flooded social media, framed as “concern,” “health,” or “what about our daughters?”In this episode, we unpack why commenting on women's bodies (even when it sounds caring) is still harmful, why women's bodies keep getting treated as public property, and what this moment reveals about where culture is headed.We talk about:Why “concern” doesn't make body commentary ethicalWhy health is not something you can seeWhy women's bodies are never trendsHow these conversations actually impact young girlsWhat we can say instead to our kids, our friends, and ourselvesThis is not a conversation about celebrities' bodies.It's a conversation about our language, our trauma, and our responsibility to do better.If this episode made you pause, reflect, or rethink your language, share it with someone you love.

The  speaker details the launch of a deconstruction project on a Discord forum designed to systematically analyze media fakery and psychological operations. The author argues that modern history and current events are carefully manufactured scripts intended to control public perception and merge fake and real timelines. Using the movie Wicked as a case study, they interpret pop culture through a political lens, linking it to predictive programming and contemporary figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The discussion extends to skepticism of scientific institutions, exploring theories about hidden lands and the possibility that society exists within a sophisticated mental cage. Ultimately, the creator aims to help followers separate the truth from the meta-script by identifying "hoax indicators" and pre-planned historical narratives

In October 1994, a young mother in Union, South Carolina, told police that a stranger had carjacked her vehicle and driven away with her two small children still strapped in their car seats. For nine days, the case dominated national news as law enforcement searched roads, lakes, and backcountry while the public watched her tearful pleas for the boys' return. As the investigation unfolded, however, detectives began to find that the story at the center of the search did not align with the evidence they were quietly collecting. It seemed like the one who really knew where the boys were, was someone much closer to them. Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

Return to Oz might be marketed as a fantasy sequel—but rewatching it as adults reveals something far darker. From electroshock therapy and abandoned children to the Wheelers, Princess Mombi's Hall of Heads, and the terrifying Nome King, this Disney film feels more like a full-blown horror movie than a family classic.In this episode of How I Met Your Monster, we continue our Scarytales triple feature by breaking down Return to Oz through the lens of monster introductions, childhood trauma, and nightmare fuel imagery. We explore why this movie terrified so many of us as kids, how it stays unsettling as adults, and why it might be Disney's most disturbing film.We also dive into behind-the-scenes facts, Walter Murch's direction, the film's connection to the original Oz books, and how Return to Oz embraces darker fantasy in the tradition of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Study the daily lesson of Sefer HaMitzvos for day 325 with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, where he teaches the mitzvah in-depth with added insight and detail.

1. The Evil of King Jehoichin 2. The Redemption of King Jehoichin 3. The Warning The sermon centers on the life and captivity of Jehoiachin, the last king of Judah, using his story to illustrate the consequences of royal apostasy and the pervasive influence of inherited sin, while emphasizing individual accountability before God. It contrasts Jehoiachin's inherited wickedness with the call to personal repentance and faith, highlighting how even in a corrupt culture, individuals remain responsible for their choices and must turn to Scripture as the ultimate standard. The narrative then pivots to a profound reversal: after 37 years in prison, Jehoiachin is unexpectedly released and honored by the Babylonian king, symbolizing God's sovereign grace and providence, which foreshadows the greater redemption found in Christ. This moment of mercy is presented as a picture of the gospel—where sinners are lifted from spiritual captivity, clothed in righteousness, and invited to dine at God's table, calling for a response of gratitude, obedience, and faith. The sermon concludes with a sobering challenge to those outside Christ: rejecting His offer of salvation is not ignorance, but a willful choice, making them the true fools, while urging believers to live in continual thankfulness and to pray for leaders, trusting in God's power to bring ultimate restoration.

Wicked For Good pushed the Oscar nominated sound team from last years blockbuster, Wicked, to go further into the sonic world of Oz. Continuing the idea that every sound making it into the film had to have an Ozian twist to it. Nancy Nugent Title (Supervising Sound Editor), John Marquis (Supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer/Re-Recording Mixer), Jack Coleman (Supervising Music Editor) and Simon Hayes (Production Sound Mixer) tell us about all the obstacles and challenges they met to complete this massive project. The music and sound effects departments worked really closely together in post, while production sound was constantly thinking about what would be needed by the audio post team.

Dana Fox (WICKED, WICKED: FOR GOOD) returns to talk about high-concept movie ideas and why the premise matters more than ever.Dana breaks down what makes an idea market-ready, how to tell if a concept has real gas in the tank, and why emerging writers should focus on selling the idea before perfecting the execution. She also reflects on writing WICKED as two films, crafting emotional payoff over time, and why - even at the highest level - writing never gets easier. --- Looking for more support on your writing journey?

Goal is a 5 inch leg (after cuff), so ~60 rounds Cast on 56 sts with US 1.5 for cuff. After cuff, knit a few rounds before doing 4 sets of increases (4 increases each time) to get to 72 sts. Then changed to US 2 needles and tested for stretchiness after first block of colorwork. Using that I plotted out the colorwork for one sock based on Pacific Knit Co's Garden Doodle set. The second sock is has 12 round stripes of the 2 green colorways with a red toe to look like the caterpillar.   Miles Penguin Pattern: Penguin by Lion Brand Yarn- free crochet pattern on the Lion Brand website Yarn: Knit Picks Brava Worsted minis in Black, Clarity, White and Orange colorways Hook: C (2.75 mm) Ravelry Project Page For this one I used two black circles bordered by white so I could skip the safety eyes (Miles is under 2 years old).   Dirty Crayon Box Socks Yarn: Fiber Stash Strong Toes Sock (80% SW Merino/ 20% Nylon) in the Dirty Crayon Box Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page I started these socks in October 2024 and finished on January 5, 2026   On the Needles, Hook or Bobbins   Woolens & Nosh 2025 Advent Socks Yarn: Woolens & Nosh, 75/25 Superwash Wool/Nylon 2025 Advent Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page   Kirby Wirby 2025 Advent Socks Yarn: Kirby Wirby 75/25 Superwash Merino/Nylon in the 2025 Advent Christmas Toys from the 80s 24 Stripe Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page Yarn theme: Christmas Toys from the 80s   Traveler Sweater Pattern: The Traveler by Andrea Mowry ($9 pattern available on Ravelry & the designer's website) Yarn: Hazel Knits Small Batch Sport (90/10 SW/Nylon) in a sage green Needles: US 3 (3.25 mm) & US 4 (3.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page Progress: finished the first sleeve and I'm at the cuff of the the second.   Pucker Brush Farm BFL Sweater Spin Fiber: 16 oz of multi colored BFL roving from Pucker Brush Farm (purchased at Rhinebeck 2025), 4 oz Merino in a mustard color Ravelry Project Page I am planning to knit a Traveler sweater inspired by Emily Curtis' handmade version- click here for her Ravelry Project Page.

I found 4oz of Ironwood Hill Farm Roving- Finnsheep combed top that I purchased in April 2021. Unfortunately I can't find more of this on Cece's Wool site or Ironwood's etsy shop, but I think it will give me the idea for a tan/brown color plied with the colorful yarn, so I spun enough to make a sample yarn to swatch with.   Brainstorming Crochet Ski Helmet Balaclava available on Etsy for $7.36   Knitting in Passing Millie finished the hat she was knitting for her dad with yarn from Plied Yarn Co.

Several players have posted a list of everything that they made in 2025. We have some really prolific players in the group! The best thing about the conversation is that no one is competitive about it. Just lots of celebrations!  I find it kind of inspiring to see what others have accomplished. For example, hikesandbikes finished 54 knitted knockers! What a great cause! It inspires me to try knitting some this year.  Come on over and join the chat if you want to get inspired too!  A few players have decided that they want to make sweaters in 2026. If you want to join in the fun, hop on over to a new Sweater MAL thread: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4390076/1-25 Another interesting topic of conversation in the January huddle stemmed from the unfortunate injury of one of our players. Sadly, she sprained her wrist. The group came through with lots of ideas for what to do when you can't knit and crochet, including needle felting, doing puzzles, watercolors, playing with art supplies, journaling and as MrsQuilt put it, "whining, reading, and actually paying attention to what is on the TV" I am wishing you all health, happiness, and strong crafting mojo in the new year!

I stayed with him from December 5-21. Dad and I had a lovely visit from our friend Merry who came with an unexpected gift- a bracelet with beads made from my mom's funeral flowers in red (ruby slipper), yellow (yellow brick road) and white for home. Dan and I had a lovely double date night at the Irish pub with friends. I was able to see my 7 year old niece Hattie as Gretl in Sound of Music (twice!!!) Making Aunt Milly's cookies with Riley and Millie (and having a sleepover with them). Christmas Eve & Christmas Day were both lovely. Definitely different without my Mom and grandmother there but it was still a joy to be together. Our friend Gail joined us as she usually does and brought all sorts of fun games for us to play. The Sunday after Christmas, I was able to spend all afternoon with my grandmother, some of that alone. My friend Megg came over because she wanted to visit and say goodbye. We had dinner together after. My friend Laura came in for NYE. Small get together with friends at my Dad's turned into a real party, though most didn't stay until midnight. Megg wanted it to be a sparkly kind of night so Laura and I got outfits for the three of us at the consignment shop on the way over! Very silly fun. My cousin Mike and his husband Kyle came up from Florida. My grandmother's services were beautiful with contributions from lots of family members. While it was more stressful than mom's, and it was the worst form of deja vu having the same schedule for that exact same Thur/Fri two years in a row- my grandmother would be happy with how it all turned out.  Skiing on Saturday after the funeral. 7 of us, impromptu trip, icy conditions but we still had a blast.   Quote of the Week "Amidst the normal hard stuff is the abnormal hard stuff. You may be doing great, but no one great always had it great. At the end of each day, as you prepare for the next, I hope you take an inventory of your life, your thoughts and where you're headed. The wind can take you some cool places, but so can your paddle."   ― Richie Norton   ------   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

Send us a textWhat if being seen as “good” is exactly what keeps us silent, small, or stuck?In today's episode, we challenge the way goodness, morality, and belonging are taught and rewarded. Using Wicked as a psychological mirror, we examine truth-telling, identity, trauma, and the hidden costs of fitting in. This conversation is for anyone who has ever been misunderstood, labeled, or pressured to trade integrity for approval. It is reflective, confronting, and deeply human, inviting us to look at who we are becoming when no one is watching.Press play, stay curious, and let this episode quietly expose where your courage has been waiting.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#460 | How to Know If You've Ever Really Been Loved - https://apple.co/4syyFq5 #459 | What Your Family System Role Says About You - https://apple.co/4qma0n1 Learn more about:

In this week's episode of The CineSnob Podcast, Cody is joined by Kiko and Jocelyn for reviews of "Wicked: For Good," "Rental Family," "The Running Man," "Keeper," "Nouvelle Vague" and "In Your Dreams."

"Wicked: For Good" is a musical fantasy sequel directed by Jon M. Chu that adapts the second act of the "Wicked" stage musical, itself inspired by Gregory Maguire's reimagining of "The Wizard of Oz." Starring returning cast members Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and others, the film follows Elphaba and Glinda as they embrace their identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. Developed over a decade and split into two films to preserve the story's depth, production faced delays due to the pandemic and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Released by Universal Pictures in November 2025, the film grossed $523 million worldwide, earned awards recognition from the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, and was named one of the top ten films of the year by both the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute. Ever since its release, the Next Best Picture team has been conducting a series of interviews with many people involved in the making of the film, which we're proud to share with you below. First up, we have my interview with the film's director Jon M. Chu, followed Cody Dericks's interview with casting directors Tiffany Little Canfield & Bernard Telsey, then we have my intervew with the film's editor Myron Kerstein, followed by Cody's interview with makeup & hair designer Frances Hannon, then Dan Bayer's interview with sound mixer Simon Hayes, and then we end with Cody's interview with visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to rent or own digitally or on physical media from Universal Pictures, and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories.
