Geoff and Justin are visiting the dusty sands of the coliseum AND the Emerald City of Oz in today’s jam-packed episode! They’re breaking down the highs and lows of this year’s Barbenheimer, the dual box office juggernauts of Wicked and Gladiator II! How wild is it that the musical based on the lore of the Wizard of Oz is more political than the drama about ancient Rome?? The bois also discuss noted sore loser Drake and his embarrassing lawsuit against UMG and Spotify. Defy gravity with us, listeners dear!

What’s Good?
