No one mourns the wicked, but we sure do like talking about it. This week, Candace and Arezou discuss Jon Chu’s movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Wicked. They celebrate how the movie embraces its musical theater roots, and praise the casting of Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey. They also speculate on what to expect in Part 2, what they think will change in adaptation, and wonder whether we’ll see a certain girl from Kansas…and her little dog too. 

Things are getting “frosty” on The Geeky Waffle as Candace and Arezou sit down to discuss Netflix’s Christmas rom-com Hot Frosty, starring Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan. They discuss the “born sexy yesterday” trope, the growing Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe, and the comfort the predictable stories offer at this time of year.

Arezou had the chance to sit down with author Rick Riordan to talk about his latest book Wrath of the Triple Goddess, the seventh book in the Percy Jackson series. They talked about revisiting Percy's world, writing heavy themes for younger readers, and what aspects of mythology Riordan still wants to write about.
