Welcome back to the epic universal podcast. I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill, and this is the podcast where we cover the latest universal

news and rumors and history.

And as always, I'm joined by Eric Hersey, who, well, I guess we should mention the

ladies of the host, Lainey and your lovely bride, Lauren, my co-host, I want that too.

They went out yesterday to see Wicked, part one, right?

They did.

They left me slaving away on the computer.

See, it's a short week for us.

Oh, yeah.

And we're also traveling for vacation.

So we're going to be in Universal before you know it.

So they went and took an afternoon and she said it was packed at 4 o'clock.

And we're in Wheeling, West Virginia, where on a Tuesday or Monday, it's not normally

super busy for, and she said the lines were long.

So people are out and uh i got glowing reviews

from the girls uh trying to pry an opinion out of a 13 year old and and basically say what what

how was it oh was great i loved it and i'm like all right let's compare that i had started to have to go

through movies she's seen is it better than or worse than this?

So she thinks it's better than Frozen on par with the Hunger Games.

She loves the Hunger Games, but not quite or at least equal to end game because she's a big Marvel fan.

So this is Avengers end game quality, says the, says the Donna.

Wow.
