This week, Eric dives into Wicked: For Good—the social and political threads woven through Oz, and why the story was never about Dorothy to begin with. He unpacks Elphaba’s radical self-acceptance, Glinda’s beautifully messy unraveling, and the painfully honest portrayal of toxic family dynamics through Nessa Rose. What follows is a reflection on friendship, identity, breaking cycles, setting boundaries, choosing yourself, and the technicolor growth that happens when your bubble finally pops.
