Did Wicked: For Good live up to the spellbinding hype? In today’s episode, we break down the standout performances, the wildest behind-the-scenes details, and the universe-defining choices that make this sequel such a ride.

You'll learn: 
 – Why Ariana Grande’s Glinda is at the centre of the Oscar buzz (and what critics are actually saying)
 – The Wicked lore you definitely missed, from book-to-stage-to-screen changes
 – The steamy scene that got completely reimagined on film
 – How the costumes, new songs and world-building came together for the Part Two fans waited a year for.

Plus… we unpack the press chaos, the original Broadway callbacks, and the sneaky easter eggs you may not have clocked.

This episode dives deep into the second instalment of the Wicked franchise — a movie decades in the making — and explores the performances, production choices and universe shifts that have fans losing their minds.
