It's My Screen Time Too

Romance, Mean Girls, and the Politics of Oz: Wicked Review

It's My Screen Time Too

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
