Bob is joined once again by resident musical theatre brain Brittney Brown to bring their Wicked movie series in for a landing with Wicked: Part Two. Fresh out of the theater (and a little shot out of a cannon), they unpack whether Act Two really is weaker than Act One, how the film handles “For Good,” and if splitting the story into two movies was bold storytelling…or a glittery cash grab. They dive into: Why “Defying Gravity” might still break the show’s structural rules—and why that’s okay The emotional (and structural) heavy lifting of Act Two, including “No Good Deed” and “As Long As You’re Mine” Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s performances, chemistry, and Oscar potential The animals, Bach’s transformation, and what the film fixes (or fumbles) from the stage show Rewatchability, double-feature vibes, and what this adaptation means for future movie musicals Stick around to the end as Bob and Brittney talk about that final Grimmerie moment, the future of the “Wicked-verse,” and why big, earnest movie musicals like this still feel a little bit like magic.
