• ‘Wicked: For Good’ Review (feat. Connor and Dylan MacDowell)

  It’s been a clock tick since DRAMA.’s Connor and Dylan MacDowell have joined Sophia and Nick on the pod, so what better way to rejoicify than by discussing the movie adaptation of Act II of the thrillifying musical, Wicked. Some may call it hideoteous, but the box office numbers show a very different story. Elphaba and Glinda’s troubled friendship is further examined in Wicked: For Good, especially under the tyrannical rule of the Wizard and Madame Morrible. Listen as they all share their opinions of the follow-up along with an in-depth discussion of the songs, including the two new ones, scenes, performances, and more. What did and didn’t work? What from the stage adaptation was altered? Does it have Oscar potential? Tune in to find out all of this and more during their hilarious chat!
