'Wicked' (2024) Reactions with Down the Yellow Brick Pod and Courtney Iventosch

For a bonus episode this week, Madeline, Emilio and Julian call on some buddies to help them process and deepen their initial appreciation of the highly anticipated, record breaking movie of the moment, 'Wicked'! After sharing their first reactions to the film, the group welcomes pals and Oz experts EmKay and Tara from Down the Yellow Brick Pod to get their thoughts, assessments of what worked best, how the fanbase is receiving the film, and little details that populate the movie that you might have messed. And what happens when you see this movie in 4DX? Then the trio speak to Courtney Iventosch, a Broadway performer and veteran of the 'Wicked' musical, for her opinions, considerations of the stage-to-screen adaptation, and the way the film's leads are characterized compared to the musical. It's a fun dive into the worlds that both birthed the film and currently celebrate it! If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.
