On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, WICKED: FOR GOOD has arrived in theaters to magically conquer the world! Therefore, it's time to grab a broom and fly back to Oz to see how Elphaba and Glinda (or Galinda) wrap up their story. Does Jon Chu's film correct the issues of the second half of the musical? Do the new songs add anything? Are important aspects fleshed out? Do Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande repeat their stellar performances from the first film? Most importantly, does Wicked 2 captivate us the way the original did? Listen as we break down every character in the rousing conclusion to the Wicked franchise.

After challenging the Wizard's totalitarian regime in Oz, Elphaba must grapple with her identity as the "Wicked Witch of the West". Meanwhile, the Wizard has given Glinda the title "Glinda the Good" and a public status as the nation's defender against Elphaba. The two witches must make decisions that seal their fates in this second musical installment. Let's dive in to our Wicked: For Good review and spoilercast!
