We mark our 100th episode by reviewing Wicked 2 with clear eyes and full glasses, weighing standout CGI against flat lighting, soft songs, and a story that stalls whenever the music starts. The Oz lore tie-ins land, but the pacing and depth rarely do.

• definitive category ratings across acting, cinematography, score, story and rewatchability
• why blanket lighting flattens emotion and kills depth
• how song placement undercuts momentum and character beats
• propaganda, perspective and who gets to define “good”
• CGI creature work that actually impresses
• stage vs screen: why act two sag hits harder on film
• audience energy, theater vibes and expectations vs delivery
• our final verdict at 2.5 out of 5
