Fellow Ozians! By "Popular" demand, here's an epic bonus episode - our unedited discussion of this year's fantasy blockbuster movie, going song-by-song through Wicked, Part One. Spoiler warning - see the film before you listen, but we don't spoil anything about next year's Part Two.

We waffle on for nearly the whole duration of the movie - our thoughts on the Gregory Maguire books, the stage musical, Jonathan Bailey's Goblin Winkie, Gelphie shipping with Ariana Grande, and defying gravity with Cynthia Erivo's 80s dark fantasy film picks for Elphaba await. Jon M. Chu, we're in queer media and we're holding space for YOU!

Our spoilery scene-by-scene breakdown of the film starts at 26:35.
