On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, Wicked is preparing to take movie theaters by tornado, and ergo it seemed a perfect time to discuss this recent trend of villain origin stories: do we need them, more of them, and who from all of cinema would we like to see treated to this special take on backstory?
Also this week, our spoiler-free AND spoilery discussion of one of the biggest movies of the year: WICKED! We have seen it and have all the detail you need to determine if it's right for you and your family. How is Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda? Does director Jon Chu recapture the beauty and amazement of the Broadway musical phenom? All this and more on our deep dive into the magical land of Oz!
Plus, Netflix's Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fiasco, and reviews of Cross and Armor. Let's get on with the show!
