The long-awaited Wicked: Part Two is almost here, and in this episode we’re diving broom-first into the magic, the mayhem, and the deeper emotional punch of the sequel that has every theatre kid (and quite a few adults) counting sleeps until opening night. If you loved the first movie, buckle up: Part Two brings higher stakes, darker themes, and some of the most iconic musical moments ever written — all brought to life by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda.

In this episode, we break down everything that makes Wicked: For Good one of the most anticipated film releases of 2025. From the expanded world-building to the new songs crafted specifically for the film, we explore how director Jon M. Chu is shaping this beloved story for the screen. We talk character arcs, emotional transformation, cinematic design, colour symbolism, behind-the-scenes details, and why the friendship between Elphaba and Glinda continues to resonate so deeply with women everywhere.

We dig into themes of identity, power, injustice, rebellion, and how Wicked holds up a mirror to real-life dynamics between women navigating a world that labels, limits, and misunderstands them. We talk about what it means to be called “wicked” simply because you refuse to shrink. We explore Glinda’s sparkly denial era, Elphaba’s misunderstood conviction, and the complicated, beautiful bond that holds them together across a story bigger than either of them.

We also get into the fun stuff: the costumes, the iconic green vs. pink palette (and why the contrast works so well), the choreography, the sets, the new sequences teased by the cast, predictions about emotional moments that will break us in the theatre, and which musical numbers are poised to explode online the moment the film drops. If you’re excited for songs like “No Good Deed,” “For Good,” “As Long As You’re Mine,” and the finale sequences that close the story, this episode will feel like a pre-movie hype session you didn’t know you needed.

And yes — we also talk pop culture, nostalgia, and why musicals like Wicked stick in our bones long after the curtain falls. Whether you’re a lifelong theatre fan, someone who came in through the first movie, or someone who just loves a good cinematic universe with strong women at the center, this conversation blends fun commentary, emotional depth, and a little humour (because let’s be honest… Glinda is all of us on a chaotic Tuesday).
