Romance, Mean Girls, and the Politics of Oz: Wicked Review
Wicked made a splash this Thanksgiving season, but is it a good movie to see with kids? We weigh in on all the high points of Wicked discourse: whether Ariana Grande will ever step out of her Glinda performance; whether this movie is too long for a Part I; and whether singing in the movie theater is ever okay. But most importantly, we discuss how we approached seeing Wicked as parents.
Things we mentioned in this episode:
Is Ariana Grande Going to Be Stuck Like This Forever? by Fran Hoepfner in Vulture
Wicked made us think of these movies and shows for grown ups:
- Gone Girl
- Swing Kids
- Amelie
We cast our gritty reboot with these actors:
- Amy Schumer as Glinda
- Leslie Jones as Elpheba
- John Cho as the Wizard
- Fred Armisen as Nessa Rose
