Wicked was a smash hit that earned Oscar nominations for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo–but that was only the first half of the story. Wicked: For Good has more songs, more magic, more extravagant production design, and more belting. But can it match the impact and live up to the hype of the first film?Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Sean and Amanda are joined by Juliet Litman and return to the (not so) wonderful world of Oz to cover John M. Chu's ‘Wicked: For Good,' starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Before diving in, they react to new movie trailers for Charli XCX's ‘The Moment' (1:02) and ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' (10:54). Then, they discuss ‘Wicked: For Good,' which they found deeply frustrating due to its bizarre story choices and one-dimensional characters (18:22). They hypothesize its potential box office, compare this year's press tour to last year's, and weigh its Academy Award chances (1:07:44). Next, Sean and Amanda briefly examine Clint Bentley's ‘Train Dreams,' starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones, a deeply earnest and sincere portrayal of grief with some beautiful digital photography and an amazing collection of character actors (1:22:55). Finally, Bentley joins the show to discuss his new film and explains why he initially thought the original material was unadaptable, how he put a lot of intent behind capturing the logging scenes in the movie, and shares his feelings on the current state of independent film (1:34:28).

The two then dive into some more pop culture nostalgia with Bond movies, spooky 90s TV classics like “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” and “Eerie, Indiana,” and plenty of laughs along the way. [Ep 405]

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, WICKED: FOR GOOD has arrived in theaters to magically conquer the world! Therefore, it's time to grab a broom and fly back to Oz to see how Elphaba and Glinda (or Galinda) wrap up their story. Does Jon Chu's film correct the issues of the second half of the musical? Do the new songs add anything? Are important aspects fleshed out? Do Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande repeat their stellar performances from the first film? Most importantly, does Wicked 2 captivate us the way the original did? Listen as we break down every character in the rousing conclusion to the Wicked franchise. After challenging the Wizard's totalitarian regime in Oz, Elphaba must grapple with her identity as the "Wicked Witch of the West". Meanwhile, the Wizard has given Glinda the title "Glinda the Good" and a public status as the nation's defender against Elphaba.

Despite critics panning Wicked For Good with a lackluster 71% Rotten Tomatoes score—far below the original’s 88%—its massive marketing blitz may still lure audiences into Oz. Behind the scenes at Dancing With the Stars, Dylan Efron reportedly urged brother Zac to avoid the audience early in the season. Meanwhile, 12-year-old North West is strutting confidently into the Kardashian spotlight, undeterred by online backlash as she launches her own rising-era persona.
