Summary
In this episode, we dive deep into the film adaptation of the beloved musical 'Wicked'. Join us as we discuss how it measured up to our expectations, who lost and won the movie, and why A Sentimental Man should have been left out of the film entirely. Plus, Erin of Grievance shows up with all the passion you’d expect from our resident Theater Kid.
