Introduction and Special Guest Appearance
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome back everyone to another episode of the popcorn podcast. I'm Tommy Cressa this week. We're doing well For most of you you've already heard our wicked review, but half the audio is kind of messed up So we decided to come back and do a second review of it with better audio and I'm bringing back the same special guest Grace Cressa my sister and We're gonna continue to talk about wicked the things we liked about it the things we didn't like about which was not many things and And before we get into that, thanks again to A24 for inviting me and my buddy Ian, it would have been Ryan if he wasn't sick, to go watch Y2K, their new film starring Rachel Zegler. And also thank you to our sponsor, the show, Contractor Pros, for making the show happen and getting us the money to get new equipment and be able to pay our employees.
00:00:39
Speaker
Just two people. But besides that, yeah. Grace, how you doing? Hi. You guys can hear me now. Unlike last time. But I'm back. And you can hear me talking, I hope. Tommy. It's a beer. I'm sorry. He's cracking open a beer. Just kidding. We're going to be talking about Wicked.
00:01:07
Speaker
Embuck. and me and
00:01:13
Speaker
So for those who don't know, Wicked is an extremely famous musical and book. And the movie adaptation, which is being split into two parts are being directed by John Chu and is currently sitting at 89% critics chroma and tomatoes 8.1 out of 10 on IMDb.
00:01:29
Speaker
and a 95% on the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The critic consensus is defying gravity with its magical pairing of Cynthia Ervo and Ariana Grande. Wicked's sheer bravara and charm makes for an irresistible invitation to Oz. Audiences say fly, do not run, to see Wicked, a bewitching musical experience enchanted by spell biing by a spellbinding cast. I agree, I think. And we didn't do this last episode. We gotta remember to do this episode.
Wicked: Ratings, Plot, and Adaptation
00:01:56
Speaker
We have to give her a score.
00:01:58
Speaker
no Out of 10? We don't have to do it yet. No, it's out of 100. Okay, 100. If we don't do it yet. 100 out of 100. Perfect. Not a single thing wrong with it. No. Nothing that you want, maybe. Nope. It also has an 87% on Google. And so far, it's already made $465.5 million. Dang. It's a really that big opening. And this has also been going alongside with Gladier. What are they calling it? Click? Yeah. Click it.
00:02:27
Speaker
which even Paul Mesko's starting to poke some fun out with his SNL skit where he decided to sing the gladiator musical. Did you see that? I didn't see it, no. Oh my God, he did like the Cynthia Ervo ending. Oh! It was really funny. I never want to watch that. Can he sing? Yeah. Yeah, because... He played Phantom. Yeah, and he should play Phantom again. With Ariana Grande. With Ariana Grande, yeah. I'm not going to lie. I wouldn't think I directed this to make it if they're going to make another Phantom. Yeah. He did big sets and everything. Yeah, that would be good.
00:02:57
Speaker
Um, and the cast of this film stars Ariana Grande, as we said, with Glinda, Cynthia Ervo as Elphaba, Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fierro, Evelyn Slater as Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Peter Dinklage as Dr. Dillamond, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard of Oz, and Marisa Bode playing Nessa Rose. We deserve each other, and Glinda helped it come true.
00:03:23
Speaker
You're the reason people are making fun of her. No, I'm not. I'm just it's just funny. I like her. I do like her, though. Well, I don't not like that. I like the girl in real life. You don't like the character. No, I don't like the character and that's OK. You don't have to like every character. Is she in the wheelchair in the book?
00:03:45
Speaker
I don't know but in the musical she is she is yeah i didn't know if it was just for the movie but yeah so if it's in' the me i'mnna need to go to um don't know the book wicked is very much different than the iteration that we see on broadway off-broway ah any other theater iteration to the movie as well is much more adult. There's also the main story of this. ah One of the main stories of this is the animals, like how animals are losing their intelligence. But in the book, there are animals that are intelligent. And then there's just normal animals that they do like kill for food, use for milk, which they don't do this. So I guess they're turning that into this. um Yeah, they have a different name. if I can't remember what the name was. But yeah, the whole cast, I think did a really good job. I really
00:04:32
Speaker
So I'm not counting the main three, and Fierro, Elphaba, and Glinda yet. But the rest of the cast, I really like. The only one I had problem problem with is Ethan Slater as Bach. And I don't know if it's personal reasons because of him with his wife and all the controversy that surrounds him. Or it's just the character of Bach. I know. I like. Well, I don't know. He was kind of like really like.
00:04:59
Speaker
weird he was weird to nessa rose because he was like and then at the end she stormed away she she did she did she like left because he was like you're amazing girl i love you and then she was like what she away But yeah, he he's the only person I had the
Character Dynamics: Book vs. Adaptation
00:05:24
Speaker
littlest of an issue. I thought he did. I thought he did good. I just he was just funny like you. It's just like he's I did like to see many steps. I like when he steps up on books. Yeah, for his height. Oh, yeah. Which I guess they're not playing into the munchkin land like in the original where they're all super short.
00:05:44
Speaker
Oh yeah, but there were some. There were? Because I did realize did people they Because every time I saw, I thought that was like maybe them like hinting at it. Like him always stepping up on the books. Oh. No, I think that's to... Well, there was some things to hint at him, you know.
00:06:05
Speaker
Something that I won't spoil. Something that has to do with part two. Yep. Which we're super excited for. I could have sat down right then after that one ended and watched part two. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Me too. Lean back this way. I think you're passing by the mic. Sorry guys. Can you hear me? Me and Bach. Me and Bach? Oh my god. Okay. Guys today are off on the shelf. He flew and got Bach from What is it called? Oz? The printer. No, from Oz land. Whatever it's called. And from Shiz. And he brought him back to our house. And now Bach is in our house with Eddie, our elf on the show. That really happened. No clickbait. Wait. So at the end of this one, everyone's like leaving the school. Is the school like being closed? I think everyone's just scared. So they're like running for their lives.
00:07:04
Speaker
They've all got to wait for boats. I know. They're just stuck there. It's like Titanic. They have to like get on the boat. sorry the no Except not. Except. It's not a true story where so many people. It might be. This might be real. I felt real. um But yeah, my favorite. We kind of talked about it the last time. Yeah. But we didn't get. No one really knows. Yeah. We have to talk about everything that we talked about. Our favorite character, my favorite character, at least that was my favorite side character, was definitely Peter Dinklage as Dr. Dilloman. Me too. He was so sweet. And he was just very down to earth. Kind. Kind. Yes. Just like kind. And he was so nice to Elphaba. And he was like, I liked how he was like, you have one friend now. And then he like put his little paw out to like shake. His whole... Oh yeah, his whole, not his paw. Yeah, it was so sweet. But yeah, I think that Michelle Yeoh was good. I like Jeff Goldblum.
00:08:04
Speaker
I like Jeff Goldblum and everything. He's very loud, like a person. Yeah, I don't. I i never saw him in anything. Jurassic Park. But really love him, I think. There's so many more characters wrong. Oh, I did not like Miss Coddle.
00:08:23
Speaker
Oh, but she's the she's the girl from The Greatest Showman. Oh, is that her? Yeah, the bearded woman. So I like love that she was in it, but I didn't like her because her character, she was like trying to push Mr. Rose away. Oh, my gosh, that guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was so funny. Him and the other girl, Fanny. Yeah, no, no, his name.
00:08:46
Speaker
pf Oh, yeah, him and the girl that were that was Glinda's friends were so funny when they picked her up and then she was like, I have to lie down. girls funny It was so funny. Glinda carried the whole the whole movie. I think Ariana Grande did. She's the best part of the movie. Yeah, she was my favorite.
00:09:06
Speaker
Even though Cynthia Ervo, as much as I really liked to the whole movie, I feel like the end of the movie, like the fine gravity, she like she's like, remember, this is my story and takes that hold of everything. Yeah. Which like, yeah, she should. and i mean Yeah. And she was amazing. Ariana Grande was just so funny. So does part two end where her story ends?
Character Highlights and Performances
00:09:28
Speaker
Yeah, part two. Or is it going to end where we see her and Glinda in the beginning? Well, that's the same thing. She dies. Yeah, I'm saying she already dies. And that seems like that's later on in time. No, it was right when she died. Oh, the exact moment? Because they were like, yeah, she's dead. Oh. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, when Dorothy.
00:09:50
Speaker
So, yeah, I guess we're not going to see the event after her dying? Or do you think they're still going to show everyone what happened? No, I don't think so. I think it just ends after that. You should say what you said about the who you think Dorothy. Oh, about who I thought Dorothy is? What's her name? I want to make sure I get it right. So everyone's been kind of like, because it's been already confirmed that they are going to show the events of Wicked of Oz. Wicked of Oz. The Wizard of Oz, the events of that.
00:10:21
Speaker
And people have been wanting, because we see them in the trailer first off, we see the ah lion, the tin man. the Yeah. And it's so cool how like you see them walking on the yellow brick road when the movie starts. It's so cool.
00:10:36
Speaker
but um um But everyone's been kind of trying to figure out what, who are they going to kiss and they are they going to go as young as the actual movie is? Yeah. She was like, she's 15. Yeah. She was so young.
00:10:50
Speaker
And we see the line, we see everyone else, so we're going to find out who they they are eventually. But everyone's been saying it could be Alicia Ware, who was in Abigail and she was also, I think it's Matilda. I want to say it's the Matilda musical. Yeah, that's it. Because I don't want to be wrong. It was the Matilda the musical on Netflix. And she's exactly 19 years old.
00:11:11
Speaker
And she can already lead franchises. She was, I mean, a main character, 19, 15, 15. You said 19. Oh, I meant 15. And she starred in the lead as a in the Matilda movie on Netflix, which got a huge critical praise. And then she just did Abigail, which is playing the lead villain in a movie against all these big name young actors. So People have been really liking her. They want to see her in more projects. And then she's been at every red carpet event for Wicked so far. Why would you just show? Unless she really just does. Yeah, so she really just loves Wicked. I have a thing i have a feeling she's going to be her though. It would be cool when Dorothy's in it because it really ties everything back together. Poor homie going to get it. Yeah. Nessa Rose. Well, Nessa Rose apparently, apparently she's not the best sister, some say.
00:12:04
Speaker
I would say that in the movie, she's not the best sister. Yeah, but they say it in the second one. She's even worse. Mm hmm. I don't know. I don't know, guys. That could be rumors, but I don't think so. would box Well, I mean, it says and it says in the. I mean, we know in the Wizard of Oz, that hurts the sisters, the wicked witch of the east. Yeah. So that's NASA Rose. So is it when you see so when they go to Oz in the movie, finally in Wicked, you know when he shows them like the world?
00:12:33
Speaker
I mean, that's when they pick that he like made. Yeah. Yeah. Was that their castles on each side? Oh, I don't know. I like like giant towers. I wasn't looking at that. Oh, I don't know. Because then you see in the beginning when her when she's melted already and then flies out where the monkeys are flying away from. Oh, oh my gosh. I didn't even think of that. So I thought of that and I was like, yeah, because I mean, it just like her leaving.
00:13:01
Speaker
She's gotta go somewhere. Her being not a part of Oz, like she has to start her own club.
00:13:09
Speaker
Little thing. Little group. A little squad. A little hang out. Yeah. but Yeah, so we all know that Nestor Rose eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the East, and Dorothy eventually kills her by dropping a house on her. Which then, sorry so I wonder if we'll see that scene again, though, where she shows up. and She died. And she's like, Oh, yeah, I wonder that, too. yeah Well, I don't know, because. I don't know, because it says and I heard someone say in the second one that it shows like their their final goodbye. These two.
00:13:42
Speaker
No, no, no, Elphaba and Glinda, so. I don't know, but maybe they will show that because I mean that in the Wizard of Oz, they see each other, so. Maybe by then, she doesn't consider her Elphaba anymore. Yeah, maybe that's the wicked witch now. True, true. Like maybe there's a moment where that eventually is. Yeah, it's just like, and not yeah. Oh, my gosh, stop. That's so sad. They can run to the set where Anakin is no longer Anakin. He's Vader by the time they fight. This doesn't have the suit yet.
00:14:10
Speaker
Yeah. So sad. No, I saw an edit of no one wants the wicked and it was, it was Anakin and it was actually so
Thematic Comparisons to Other Stories
00:14:21
Speaker
sad. Did it show them burning the Vader suit? I don't know. and I don't remember. That's a really sad scene. I never watched that one. I still have so many. Oh, so you haven't seen the ones with Luke yet? I only saw one. The first movie that they made.
00:14:34
Speaker
when they're in the trash compactor. Yeah, that's one of my favorite scenes. Yeah, that like scared me so much. I was like, Oh my gosh, you're gonna get squished. I used to pretend it was me in a pool. Yeah, but I saw that day and I reposted it. I was like, Oh my gosh, because I was thinking I was like,
00:14:48
Speaker
That is so Anakin. I was thinking of like, cause people were doing like edits to like, no comma one mourns the wicked. And it was like who mourns too. And then it was Anakin and then it was, um, Obi-Wan and then it was, um, and then I thought of one, I thought of the Phantom and like maybe Christine, but really Madame Giri. Christine definitely mourns the Phantom. Yeah. Yeah. But like Madame Giri like was always so supportive. So then I was like, wait, her. And then it was like, yeah, you can think of so many.
00:15:18
Speaker
See, that's why I think you would really like the next one. The sequel. No, no. I think you should read it like the synopsis. I don't want to. But it's safe. just I just want the phantom to end where I thought it ended. What? Did he get left alone? Why do you want to be sad? I don't want him to be sad, but I like the way it ends. Well, he kind of he's always going to be sad. Yeah, he's just sad person. Sad boy. But yeah, so we were just talking about the castles. What else I want to talk about?
00:15:48
Speaker
Oh, what we talked about um last time was that the scene when Elphaba first shows off her powers at Shiv, when- Shiz. What's shiv? I don't know. Shiz. Shiz, which is so weird. Yeah. What the shiz? Like, what? Miss Coddle tries to take Nessa Rose to her room, but Nessa Rose and Elphaba's dad told Elphaba to make sure she gets there herself. Like, you take her there.
00:16:14
Speaker
And Miss Kyle's like, no, no, like trying to like kind of get yourself some brownie points with the governor. Yeah. And eventually Elphaba kind of freaks out, lose control, and she sends tables and all this stuff flying around. She even lifts up an S.A. Rose and she smashes um this wall mural of Oz. He's supposed to look like a god in that picture. And right behind it is a bunch of it seems like it's like the old pictures you have in like your religion notebooks.
00:16:44
Speaker
Like the animals in a circle. Yeah, but it looked like the priests in the middle talking to them. No, like St. Francis. Yeah, but the bear was in like that tunic kind of style. Oh, yeah. Wait, so it's like, but yeah, we were talking about how like that scene happened and everyone's like talking about like those little Easter eggs or just like little like moments where like it's trying to reveal something else. And no one's talking about that. Yeah. And it was so like, I was thinking that too, because like I saw that and I was like, wait, that's like kind of important. Like,
00:17:14
Speaker
Oz was like, the ruler, the rulers, like whatever, were the animals. Like they were in charge. And then he just came in and was like, nope. It was their land. Yeah, it was. And that's not fair. Like it was definitely all like, I think maybe it was all animal teachers at first. And then they were like,
00:17:34
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. And then that, ah that just takes me back to Dr. Dillamond. Like he was like one of the last so sad. I know. I liked the scene when all the animals are together talking. I know. Cause in the early, when he gives that speech about like remembering when you could walk past one room and they'd be like an animal yeah and all the animals he talks about are in that room. They're having a conversation with. So he saw about his old friends. so Yeah. And it was so funny when Ariana Grande or Glenda was like,
00:18:00
Speaker
Can't you just teach us history? She's like, why are you always talking about the past? And I was like, what? Like, girl. That was the one scene that was making me mad. It made me really upset. I know. I was like, stop. Shut up. I know. I was like, I feel so bad for him. Like, it's not his fault. He's a go. I don't think he cares. Yeah, I know. I was like. But I was shocked that no one kind of brought it up, like in the movie that no one brought up the former.
00:18:24
Speaker
Thing of the animals. I Because I saw that and I was like, wait, I think that's an important element. I think that's a little like mask at all that we'll use later.
00:18:40
Speaker
I had to feel bad. No idea what that meant. Yeah, they do. Most of our listeners are older than me. They don't know Mickey Mouse? That was only a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. That wasn't like a normal thing. All right. they You guys know. Because I was older than Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. OK, well, you know it. I know what it is, because I am three younger. OK, everyone knows it.
Production and Performance Insights
00:19:00
Speaker
If you're going to be like, what the hell is it? Yeah, they're going to be like, mouse schedule. But yeah, so now we talked about the sides of characters. Talk a little bit about the story. Talk about what we think it's going to have in part two. Oh, what about how? um
00:19:17
Speaker
how Oz, people think Oz is. Oh, how is like, how does anyone not realize that he's Elphaba's dad? Yeah, because literally it'd like the scene where it's like um the affair. It's just his voice. Yeah, it's literally his voice. And then he's like, oh, drink this green elixir. Like, OK, how more how much more obvious can you be? And that all of Oz is green. I feel like she keeps the green thing. Yeah. It's like, hey,
00:19:47
Speaker
Something sucks here. But yeah, that was that like people were like, oh I wonder her dad is I'll be like, did none of you pay attention during the movie? Yeah, I just feel like that's not even a spoiler. Like that's just like, come on, they're telling you. And then when he like looks at her, he kind of and she says her last name, he like remembers. Yeah. He's like, oh, well, and I think the whole thing was ah on purpose. Like maybe he knew that that elixir stuff would make her green.
00:20:17
Speaker
Yeah, we'll make her green and maybe like some sort of powers and then he was waiting all that time for her to grow up and like it could have been a whole like plan and because they never. He never cares about the her being green like it never even know no no. Like he already had the thing painted green like all that stuff. Yeah, but yeah, I really.
00:20:42
Speaker
I do really like Jeff Goldman as the wizard though. I like that the wizard is always very, um, like flamboyant. Like he's very, yeah, I thought like at first I was like, Oh wait, he's like so fun. And then I like kind of forgot. He was like bad, not that good. Like, no, it's like pretty bad. And I was like, um, yeah, I liked his character at first, but then I was like, Oh gosh, no way. I'm not supposed to let you know. You're bad. I know. Because like maybe he knew that she would be able to open the,
00:21:12
Speaker
What is a book called?
00:21:17
Speaker
The Triangle Book. Yeah, it's about to call it The Condyl, but that's Evil Dead. I forget, I forget. But something else I want to talk about, this is not character related, I think, was the decision with the director to make everything like real. The trains real. Yeah, I didn't know that.
00:21:34
Speaker
the whole munchkin land is real all the nine nine million tulips that's insane every room you every other one of this house you could go in the school when you're looking at it from the water you could actually walk in each room wow he said now the rooms they weren't decorated because yeah but like you could open the door and walk through Well, I did see in the mask is real the big head for us. Oh, my gosh. I saw like a behind the scenes and it was like um Ariana just like walking through shits. And I was like, wait, this is like real. Like, that's so cool. And I feel like that also like.
00:22:07
Speaker
Even if you don't even realize that it just like makes the movie like even more special because it makes it like more like real Yeah, and like magical like that's just like so cool cuz it's like really and it was probably so good for them because they were able to like immerse themselves like actually in a different place Yeah, and not just like on a set but like really in the place Yeah, I think that helps even people watching movies cuz like when yeah when it's all like computer generated. Mm hmm. You can even tell me like, oh, it's a movie. Yeah. Sometimes you can feel like, oh, I can put myself in that world. Yeah. I can touch the wall. I can. Yeah. It's so good. And the live singing to the live singing by Ariana Grande and Cynthia was amazing. Chef's kiss. Yeah. That's just like unbelievable. I like the change with popular like the ending that they had. What?
00:22:56
Speaker
when she goes back into her room or on a ground, uh, Glinda, it's like all bright pink. Like that, that's like an added verse at the end. No one like popular. You know the song popular? Yeah. No one, her and Cynthia like dancing around in the room and they got in the hallway until Cynthia leaves. Oh, wait, I love that part. That's not like in the original thing. Oh, that was so cute. I like how bright pinky. I like how she's not as popular as me.
00:23:25
Speaker
Cause I really like that song because I feel like it really, like it's a fun song, but I feel like it also shows like her like, not even like motives, but just like who she is. Like I don't think she's bad.
00:23:41
Speaker
But I don't think she's like the greatest, you know? Yeah, she wants to need people to like her. Yeah. And like, I mean, throwing the torch at your best friend's thing, like she, she would do what everyone expects her to do, even if it makes her upset, because she clearly was upset. But see, I kind of agree with her idea, though. I think that Elphabook is about the wrong way at the end. I think if you decide to work with him, you could have overpowered his decisions. I mean, yeah, because she had the power. So it was like,
00:24:11
Speaker
But I think she just didn't want to be associated with people who... Yeah, but you could probably convince them to save the animals. You could learn the spell to save the animals. Yeah, she's just rebellious. I feel like she always has been. Brash. Yeah, so she just... That was just her first instinct. Uh-huh. Well, just to be like, I don't want to be like these people. Yeah, I know.
00:24:31
Speaker
If maybe you plan more and like yeah talk to go in the, you guys got to figure it out. She wanted to fix it, but i yeah, I feel like they didn't really have time to be like, okay, okay, let's do this. Let's do this. Like they were chasing them. Oh, Glinda was trying to you remember. Yeah, we just talk. Yeah, she was like we don't really have time for that. But i yeah, I feel like Elphaba was like, they both wanted to fix things I felt, but Elphaba wanted to do it from the outside, like and just restart. And she went it right then. Yeah, like but then Glinda was like, we can change we can work from within. And there's more animals that can talk, I feel like in Wizard of Oz, aren't there? Was it just the lion?
00:25:08
Speaker
And the Wizard of Oz, there is no talking animals except the lion. Just the lion? Yeah. Oh, no. There's like not even. Is there any animals in there? There's like no one. Like Toto can't talk. Yes, Toto. Toto came from. And the monkeys can't talk. The flying monkeys and those are like the only animals. They can't talk in this either. Well, yeah. But they might have never been able to talk. Yeah, but like.
00:25:29
Speaker
Toto can't. Well, maybe that's why the book is different because the book came after the movie and in the movie there was ah there was talking and not talking animals. Yeah, like there's different. So, yeah. maybe Well, there's ones that like humans marry some of the animals. Oh, like theyre like oh yeah, that's weird. i I heard about that. I don't. It looks a lot different. It's kind of strange. I don't know if I like that. Well, we talked about production. We talked about side characters. We talked about what we liked. Now let's get into the main three characters.
Character Dynamics and Anticipation for Part Two
00:25:57
Speaker
OK. Well, we kind of been.
00:25:59
Speaker
Well, we didn't talk about Fiera at all. Yeah, Fiera, we haven't even mentioned yet. Jonathan Bailey was amazing. Oh my gosh, he was so, so good. He went into my favorite character, because I like that he bounced out. First of all, he went perfectly with Glinda. Yeah, their chemistry was so, so good. But Elphaba and Prince Fiera balance each other out. Yeah. Because everyone said yes to him, she doesn't. Yeah. She wants to tell everyone how it is, and he will go right back at her and be like, well, that's not how it is. Yeah. So they were good balance. And he also like, she brings out like,
00:26:28
Speaker
the more courageous side of him. Because I feel like he also is kind of like Glendun. He wants people to like him, but then he's like, he actually has like a more like yeah activist. like intentions and he wants to also do the same things and she encouraged him to do so. Yeah, but he only does it when... When she's around. Or when no one else is there. Yeah. Because everyone else goes to sleep. Yeah, because then he was like, all right, let's do this. But yeah, I feel like he has traits of both of them. His song was really good. Dancing through life. So good and he's such a good dancer and singer and he's so good. He's so... No, he really... He was my second favorite besides Glenda. I think it was him, Glenda and Elphaba were right neck and neck.
00:27:11
Speaker
But I think I just like, or I like Glinda more cause Glinda was like, how, so funny I feel like it's how all of us, like our family was as kids. know sherself on that bed She really reminded me of myself, like in some parts where she threw herself on the bed and was like being dramatic. And then she looked back. I did that in Wawa the other day because that's ah I forget mom was like saying, I like couldn't get something. And I was like, really? ah I forget. Or was I at this door? I don't know. But she was like, uh,
00:27:37
Speaker
Yeah. And then I just loved Elphaba. But the Elphaba, Prince Viera, first seen together in the woods was really funny. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's like, I'm sorry. He's like, you, like, blend it in with the trees. And then he, I like the part where she, like, did it. I did. And he was like, well, I did. I did egress. And the new, the angry response is, is that a new development? Yeah, because he was like, I feel like they just, like, understood each other well.
00:28:07
Speaker
I don't know who voices horse. But his horse has a can talk. Oh, the horse is like laughing. Oh, I don't know. Maybe it says it somewhere. Unless that's the name of the horse. I don't know. I don't know.
00:28:30
Speaker
um Yeah, I was thinking about that during the movie. Yeah, I don't know. Well, his words didn't really say too much. yeah It so just laughs out on that one. How are we trying to trying of flirt? But yeah, I liked his song. I think Defying Gravity was my favorite song. ah me too The Wizard and Me was really good, though. The Wizard and I? Same thing. Grammar. grammar Except I leaned over to Mom when we were watching it, when she like runs all over to the cliffside.
00:28:56
Speaker
I was like, I was like, now she's going to walk all the way back. After she's done singing, she's like, I run all the way over here. Well, there's a long way back. That's a really hard fall. I know. She's really close to the edge. And then also the part in that where it was like that she sees that there's going to be a whole, it was so sad, a whole celebration in Oz all about her.
00:29:26
Speaker
And Alfie. That scene could be put with Anakin probably too. Yeah. Oh, you haven't finished the last one yet. You gotta watch the last two with Luke. There's like a scene that goes like neck and neck with that. Oh, OK. I've probably seen it in the edit. Oh, 100 percent. It's very famous to you. Um.
00:29:44
Speaker
Yeah, I liked. Yeah. And I loved Glinda and Elva's chemistry. Oh, yeah. Friendship chemistry. Oh, yeah. No, I just I love people. Some people were like laughing at the scene where they did that dance.
00:29:57
Speaker
the little like, um at the like um I cried. I cried. I was literally like, that's so beautiful because it was like, it was the one moment Glinda didn't do what everyone else was doing. And that was just so beautiful. Like she really, you can obviously tell that she felt so bad. And then also when Fierro was like, it's not your fault. She didn't say anything cause she was like, it is my fault. Like it is my fault. And she took responsibility. And then I just love how they like left the party and just ran off and like, got to know each other better. It was just so sweet. I have a secret. Me and for you're getting married. Yes. No, he doesn't know yet. That's that me. I'm, I can't wait to see how that comes about though. What happens. Oh, I know. I want to know what happened. She was like, she's been thinking. You think it's one on one conversation? We think about 211. Oh, that leads to
00:30:51
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. I have a feeling it's just gonna be them. They're gonna not know what you're talking about. I don't want them to know, because not everyone knows yet. I don't want to spoil those kind of things. We're talking about secrets! Yeah, there's stuff for part two. I mean, they've really... Fiero's, they've really hinted. Yeah. They don't hint as much at his. Yeah.
00:31:09
Speaker
hey Did you kind of figure out just but I mean, you guys obviously know like what happens in Wizard of Oz, but it's like clearly some people are going to show. Well, everyone's going to show up again. It's just, yeah, all the main cast are going to ship Linda Elphaba, the arrow Bach, Madam Warble, Dr. Delman, the Wizard, of course,
Cast Performance and Chemistry
00:31:27
Speaker
and the Nestor Rose. They're all coming back. Yeah. And then I mean, they already filmed it. Yeah. I mean, they filmed it right. One shoot. Yeah.
00:31:34
Speaker
Which I love when movies do that. The last Harry Potter. Oh, I didn't know that. Heplod Prince did it. Oh. They try and do it so actors don't age out like roles and look different. As much as Glitch or Anagrani and Cynthia Erva aren't going to look much different. there They're going to look the same for a long time in their lives at this point. It's more when you're growing up. But I also like when they film back to back because I feel like it adds more emotional depth to everything.
00:31:57
Speaker
Because, yeah I mean, she was then Elvaba for two years. Yeah, I mean, kind of everyone was like, why are they crying so much? But it was like, if I was in their shoes filming for that long and it's like my dream role, I'd be crying at every interview, too. Yeah. I would be so emotional. Like, that took so much. Because Joseph told me that Ariana Grande canceled her tour. No, I told you that. Oh, you did? Yeah. You did? Oh. You feel like you were like Linda right there. You're like, oh.
00:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, we're coming up cuz cuz that's her agent found out that the moves dream about and she was like if that's real We need a cancer. Yeah, I need this role This role it makes me so like it makes me feel like I like know her and I'm like so proud of her I mean, she's been part of both of our lives since we were kids. Yeah, Sam. I mean, not Sam. It's victorious. Cat Valentine. There was moments in this where she would make a face. Yeah, I was like, that's my cat. That's why me and Sam were talking about it. Because Sam thinks Ariana Grande, it's kind of hard to separate her because she's so famous.
00:33:07
Speaker
I don't think so at all. See, I didn't think so because I feel like Glinda, she fits Glinda so well. Yes, I think so too. I think she fits her ah very well. But me and Joseph were saying that the way that Sam feels about Ariana Grande, we feel about um Sydney Sweeney.
00:33:24
Speaker
It's so hard because Sydney Sweeney is so famous now. I feel like I can't separate her from the same person. She's in a movie and she's like, oh, that's Sydney Sweeney. The Rock. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds is good with Deadpool because it's a character. Yeah, but I don't feel that way about her. I feel like... she I feel like she leaned into... Yeah. I just feel always feeling like that is her. Like, Glinda is her.
00:33:45
Speaker
And I'll always, help she'll always be Kat before she was Ariana Grande. Yeah, true, true. I do want to see her do more movies, though, because I really do like her as an actress. Christine Dyer, the opera singing. If Cynthia Ervo got cast, because they were, John Legend was writing ah pretty much a Phantom kind of spin-off, where it's kind of the same idea, but it's in Louisiana. Oh, that's cool. And it was going to feature an all-black cast. So I mean, if they're going to do that, I would definitely let Cynthia Ervo do it, because she's got one of the best voices. Oh, yeah, she has a great voice. Yeah.
00:34:15
Speaker
I want Jonathan Bailey to play in another musical. I need to watch him more. He could be Ral. He could be Ral. He could be Ral. They're just going to reunite this entire set. Can you just, all of you, all of you, she, Madam Warble could be La Calata. Or the one that helps Phantom. Madam Cheery. She's just going to keep playing a Madam. And then Nessa Rose could be Meg. She could be Meg. And Bach maybe stay out. No, she can't. He can be the one that the Phantom kills really early on. Stop.
00:34:44
Speaker
ah And then the Wizard of Oz could be, um, he could be the, like. Oh, the head that buys the theater. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't, he, um, he did it. Peter Dinklage did a music. What was it called? Oh yeah. He could be in, he could be the other guy who owns it too. Cierno or something like that. Elph. Serrano. This was, you should watch this. Oh my gosh, I forgot he's in. He's so sad. Forgot he's in the Hunger Games, about his own word of the sakes. And he's also in Chronicles of Narnia. Oh. The Prince Cask game. Oh, I only re-watched Narnia.
00:35:16
Speaker
The first one's so good. The first two, that one's really good, too. But you should watch that. It's a musical. He sings all his life. Not him being in musicals. He's got an incredible voice. I did not know he could sing until I watched the movie. But again, I'm a sucker. So are you. Yeah. I love a good love story musical. I still have never seen the new version of the one went into Elgar and Rachel Zegler.
00:35:42
Speaker
What's that story? that's it really so i've not seen I've seen the original version. I watch that. I feel so she's a Rachel Zegler. oh shes incredible She has such a good voice. Like that's why Ballad of Songbirds and Stakes is actually one of my favorite movies. That's my third favorite movie of all time. Really? Yeah. All three of my favorite movies. I forgot. We all we watched them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. um So good. I'm excited to see her as Snow White. My only issue is like the I didn't care about The Little Mermaid, when everyone was like, oh, she can't play Little Mermaid. It's that there's no nothing saying the Little Mermaid has to be white with red hair. Snow White says someone white as snow, skin white as snow. True. That's the only reason I ever cared about it. Like if they do Tangled, I think it'll be fine, though. Because Tangled, she doesn't have to that blonde hair, right? Because that's just how they drew her. Well, I feel like lowkey, like.
00:36:31
Speaker
I like when the the live action matches the description, but not the description, but the old one, just because it's like, that's what you know. Yeah, that's what I know. it as so It's just like, it's just cool to see the cartoon in action with like the same, but also like the Little Mermaid ended up being so good. And that's also one of my favorite movies. The live actual. Yeah, I didn't see what I refuse to watch all the Disneyland wild and target waters is one of the best Disney actually the best Disney song.
00:36:59
Speaker
I've never seen any of them. Yeah, but I feel like but Rachel Zegler has such a good voice and I really like her. So I'm like everyone took her what she said to out of context. Oh, and was that about like the but she's not gonna have like a I don't remember what she said.
00:37:14
Speaker
She said something about like guys playing in certain roles and stuff. And she and she pretty much said, like instead of guy a girl playing James Bond, why don't they create a new character and have it be a girl? Oh, what? James Bond is a guy. She said that? Yeah, she was like, because people like got mad at him like, oh, why can't women play it? She's like, because James Bond's a guy. like That's a male character. Why don't you make your own strong female character? And people get mad at that. People just. They want to be mad about everything. Some people get mad at things, and then some people say things. And then that's how the world goes.
00:37:43
Speaker
People make mistakes. Andrew Garfield was just talking about that on his show the other day. Have people make mistakes? Yeah, he said everyone deserves a first chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance. lesss As long as they show you that they try. Yeah. Yeah, Tommy. That's so true. I didn't say I believe that.
00:38:01
Speaker
Um, but yeah, I, I loved, I think Jonathan Bailey, someone that I didn't know very well. I knew him from like seeing on Instagram. yeah I watched the first season of Bridgerton. So that's how I knew him, but I forgot that
Final Review and Scores
00:38:15
Speaker
it was him. Love him. I love him. But yeah, he's played, his chemistry was so good.
00:38:22
Speaker
Yeah. So good. Like that first scene with him and Glinda when he was like our first fight, I was like, Oh, I was kind of like kicking my feet. I was like, wait, why is he you're so good.
00:38:36
Speaker
Like it was so good. i he has a But then it was like, it was with them, it was more like flirty and fun. But then it was like when they were in like the woods, it was like more like passion. Yeah, like deeper, like how they they share the same like morals and values. And I was like, well, that's the same flame romance. That's like a high score. Yeah, that's a situation ship. Yeah, linda he's been thinking and that really worries me.
00:39:03
Speaker
That whole scene was so funny. Yeah. that was And then he's like staring at it. He's like, I've been thinking about that day a lot. And she's like, same. Oh, same. Me too. And then she was like, I have an announcement. And then when she walks over, she's like, so I kind of sounded like her just then. Am I Ariana Grande? No. All right. that I liked when she comes back there. and She's like, she's like, I don't even know why I did that. Yeah. It's Glinda. It's too late now. Yeah. I just I loved her character so much.
00:39:32
Speaker
Um, I really like seeing, oh my God. Adia and Adia Menzel and Adina, Adina Menzel. And, um, I don't remember. Plays Glinda in the original Broadway show. Yeah. Sam loves her. The other one. Yeah. Well, I love, I'm sorry. I can't remember your name. Yeah. I don't remember either. I didn't watch. I never saw. Oh, they don't show up on the cast list either. Um,
00:39:54
Speaker
Yeah, I love both of them. though I like that part. And I loved having them show up because they were going to be teachers at first. And it was going to be like just like a super quick that they're just in the scene. But then the director is like, no, he's like, he's like, this is a huge moment to have them show up. Yeah, because so many people love.
00:40:09
Speaker
the musical and it was like so many people going to see the movie had watched the musical and then I ah just feel like it made it special for people who were like really big fans. Yeah. I think it was something. And I like that they stood with their character. Yeah. Yeah. And I like when Glenna tries to sing and she's like I know because then it was like wait. This is my moment girl. Yeah. But yeah. And I like when she fixed ah ah Adina Menzel fixes the hat. Oh yeah.
00:40:32
Speaker
All of that was just so good. And I love the scene when she casts a spell on the monkey. I felt horrible. Oh, that was so sad. That was so sad. Especially when I was like, oh, I didn't know that she's the reason that happened. Yeah, that made me really, really upset. I don't know. Does she not have control when that book opens? I don't know, because I was like, can you not tell that the monkey's in pain right now and you're still casting the spell? And her eyes were wide and she had it. Yeah, it seemed like she couldn't stop saying it. But I mean, I don't know. That's what it seemed like.
00:41:02
Speaker
Another thing with Glinda, her mannerisms are so funny. Like, the way she moves her hands when she says things. Her eyes when she reacts to people. Those were the things I really liked. Yeah, she had really good, like... The hair flip was so funny. Oh yeah! Toss, toss. You don't have to do that. Oh, what does he say? You've been Glindified? Yeah, yeah, he was like, you don't have to do that. I love fear. His pants were so tight on his leg. I wasn't really looking at his pants. Well, I saw it in the woods, I didn't think about it, and I was like,
00:41:31
Speaker
I thought it was a one-piece. I thought it was a one-piece. I didn't know he had shoes on. I thought it was like a superhero suit. And I was like, oh, there are shoes there. It's just the look. He did a great job. He looked great as a character. Yeah, he did. I'm excited to see him in the next one. He looked great. And the fact that he never sung like he didn't consider himself a singer. Yeah. And when you're going up against two people that put up some of the best vocals, live vocals, while upside down on a broom,
00:41:57
Speaker
I know that's crazy. Did you see the video of her flying? Yes, they deserve, you know, no one, that's not like a normal, that's normally like a stunt person. I know when she said she wanted to do all of her own stunts. Yeah. yeah's crazy They deserve all of the Oscars. Stunts isn't a single thing yet. It should be what people who are stunt doubles deserve awards too. I had a, I had Andrew Garfield to inspire me on my podcast.
00:42:24
Speaker
oh That one with the phone is the one, the one I showed you. That was having him on. Oh, wait, that's so cool. That's him right there in that poster. The stunt double? Yeah. Oh. They set him up on a wall there. I should be a stunt double. Well, Ariana Grande technically, no, you do. I do have a fear of heights. I have a fear of rollercoasters. Final destination. It goes off the tracks. Well, Ariana Grande basically did a stunt one time because in, do you remember that episode of Victorious and they had to like, oh no, that was Tory. She had to like jump off like a wall.
00:42:54
Speaker
Oh, and she falls through the railing. Yes, yes. Yeah, I remember that. But what I was going to say was the hat, I saw this like theory that She definitely looked at everything that she packed before she went to school. And she definitely loved that hat. Oh, she definitely did. Yeah, like but she was reacting because because then they because they looked at her because at first she was like just looking at it. But then her friends were like, What is this? And then she was like, Oh, my grandma was definitely so special to her. I met a lot to go it on her head.
00:43:28
Speaker
She fixes off. Yes. I love like oh the ruby slippers. Oh, yeah. They make a little Easter egg, a little cameo. And then they they did. they Because they are. They don't know. and A lot of people didn't realize that the shoes that Nessa Rose has are the slippers now.
00:43:43
Speaker
Oh, yeah, they just like changed the color. Yeah, because a lot of people are like, oh, no, Glinda has the shoes because everyone. Oh, no, no. Like those are the shoes. They just changed the color in the book, like the original Wizard of Oz book before the movie. They're blue. Oh, they only made them red because they had the first thing of. It was the first colors. Oh, oh, yeah. To be these bright and needed to be something they wanted to be like super memorable. Yeah. But yeah, now they're just silver, which I really like. Yeah, no, I liked it. I kind of thought that like I thought those were the shoes.
00:44:13
Speaker
Yeah, it was nice when she clicked them together three times. Yeah, I was like, ooh, no place like home. Hey. Maybe I'll watch Wizard of Oz again. We watched it when we came home. Yeah, new Lily, Joseph, Annie.
00:44:25
Speaker
I only, my only distaste was the Wizard of Oz. It was the only movie we had in the car growing up. We watched the Wizard of Oz, I think every day for five years. Five years? It might have been long. Ten years. We always watched it. It was that we're finding Nemo. We're the only two movies we had on disc. We always watched it.
00:44:45
Speaker
But we like loved it though, like i and they I loved it. Eventually, I got to the point where I was like, because we only ever made it to the same point in the movie. We never got to the end because we always drove to either the shore or we were driving like a baseball game or something. So it was never past the hour and 40 minute mark or the hour and 10 minute mark or whatever. We would watch it going to Wawa. we'd watch it go Literally everywhere. and And then when it plays now, I like know all the words to the whole movie and I'm like, how do I know this? But it's like engraved in my brain.
00:45:13
Speaker
That's me, Revenge of the Sith. There's so many scenes of me and Matt have like memorized in my head. That's like me and Phantom. I can recite the whole movie. Sam did the the end of Phantom of the Opera when he was singing for me. She was doing it with the... I want to watch that with her. She didn't really sing. I need to watch it with someone who loves it. Loves Theda.
00:45:34
Speaker
Oh wait, Lily can sing too. Can she? Yeah. Sam's younger sister can sing. And Michael can sing. Really? Yeah, he's a good singer. All of our significant others can sing. Sam's sister is in Widener's acapella group. Oh. She can really sing Megan. Wow. Oh, she is? Oh wait, I think I've seen her post like a cover or something. Yeah, she'd sung it laying in bed and hit like this high note. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Good for you girls.
00:46:01
Speaker
Mr. P is in the band. I cannot sing. He is? Oh my gosh. Let's start a band. I'm just outing with the DFO. Yeah, I know. We're like, hi. So we're good talking about you. um But yeah, loved. Yeah, I feel like we talked about the main thing. Love you guys. Well, one thing before we end our actual review part of this, and we do like the recommendations, I asked you the questions. what is your What are you most excited for people to see in part two? And what are you most excited to see in part two? I'm most excited to see um
00:46:33
Speaker
how some people become something else. Like how their characters change. Yeah, how their characters change. Even just Elphaba. Even just like in general how they like progress and like because I mean in Wizard of Oz she is evil. Like she's pretty bad. I thought she killed the monsters. She's like no they were scared. She's pretty bad. But it's like Are they actually scared? Did you actually, when you they did not die. I just remember them all lying there on the ground. Yeah, Tommy said that Elphaba killed the munchkins in Wizard of Oz. You didn't do that. You called it wicked. No, no, wicked of Oz. But no, I think they were just laying on the ground because they were terrified. When I watched it, and there was an explosion when she shows up. That fire, that explosion burned her.
00:47:20
Speaker
Yeah, she died because of the effects of the game too later. See, that has a really like scary like background. Same with ah Poltergeist, the majority of that cast actually died. Stop, that's so scary, I don't want to talk about it. Yeah, I watched a whole video about it. And what are you most excited for? I think I'm, personally, I'm excited to see the next songs. Oh, sure true, true, true. And I'm kind of excited to just see the events of Wizard of Oz. Soundtrack goes crazy.
00:47:42
Speaker
but when I'm most excited for other people, I'm what you're
Grace's Favorites and Social Media
00:47:45
Speaker
excited for. I'm excited to see other people's reactions. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I don't know how it happens. Yeah, dude, I'm excited to see like how they, like, are people okay with that idea? Like, do they like that or do they... Yeah. It'll be cool. Why is that how it goes? I feel like most people who, like, really like the movie maybe know what we're talking about. Yeah, people who know what's happening. Y'all know what we're talking about. I'm excited for people who don't know. Yeah. Who are like who will be, like, so shocked. Yeah, I only know from, like,
00:48:12
Speaker
Now, yeah everyone just talk before the podcast, like trying to read up on everything to give myself some more information. And I was okay with being a spoiler because it's not really spoiled. Yeah, I don't really feel like that. Yeah, it's really not a spoiler. It's been out for like 500 years. But yeah. So, Arana Grande, Cynthia Erbo, Jonathan Bailey.
00:48:30
Speaker
Unbelievable job. All three of you were fantastic. The rest of you are good. But there's a clear, could be Oscar worthies. The top three. The rest are just good.
00:48:43
Speaker
Cause I don't think like, none of them have like a song that's stuck out. I don't think they're gonna get like nominated for Oscars. Yeah. And I don't feel like they have. But they weren't, they weren't leads. So. Yeah. And like their songs didn't like, their voices did not compare to the three of them. Well, especially these two, cause they're singers. Yeah. They can boost. Well, Cindy Erva is a theater person or on a grandiose. I mean, one of the biggest pops. Yeah. I mean, but she never did opera before and it was amazing. Yeah. Gerard Butler. Gerard Butler. Was a rock singer. Yeah.
00:49:10
Speaker
like That's so like that's why me you both agree dancing with the stars. It doesn't matter if like a former dancer comes on Or do you think it does? Oh, I think it does matter See like I think it I don't think I think there's still like the basic steps you have which makes it easier But I think it's still a different form of dance, but I mean like yeah, but but you do that's what me you talked about you still have ah basic like You still have the technique for certain things. that's how we Like Charli D'Amelio. Was she an actual dancer? she just like she No, she did a competition dance for years and she like she's such a good dancer. I just feel like that's just like, obviously you're going to win. like but that's Yeah, because we talked about I said the models. It's like people who played sports. You might not have played that sport, but there's still baseline movements that you learn. yeah like singing I just end. Singing is definitely different.
00:50:00
Speaker
Yeah, but I mean, Ariana Grande, Ken, she's hit so many high pitched like, what is it called? Notes. Notes. So it's like, I feel like she could do opera and obviously she can. Like she had the resources and the talent to be able to. Especially when you're working on a movie, you're gonna get those private lessons to learn. Yeah, she's amazing.
00:50:22
Speaker
Yeah, because I mean, what's the first song called? Mournin' the Wicked. No, I'm Mournin' the Wicked. Yeah, she... Unbelievably. Oh my gosh, it was insane. And it looked so effortless too, but it was so graceful. Because normally you can see people's veins and stuff, and you don't see that in her at all. Yeah, she was just like... She's very calm. Yeah, I was like, whoa. And she has like two tears come down there, that's all. That's it. I didn't see that. She doesn't wipe either one. It's literally like one, and then like... Because she can't show anyone that she's crying! Yeah, that's all I thought about. She was so good in that scene. She was so good.
00:50:50
Speaker
And the way the movie literally started with a bang. I know, because the movie was starting and I was like, OK, let's get this over with. I don't like Phantom. I don't like Wizard of Oz. Let's move forward. And then after this, I was like, OK. Oh, wait, this is kind of good. We might be in for something. We might be in for a treat. But yeah, what's your um what's your score out of 100? OK, let me actually think. I've never rated a movie before.
00:51:14
Speaker
Let me try to be like a good critic. Yeah. So think about like, you can, add like, I always do like enjoyable. How was it enjoyable? Was it to you? And then like, was everything, I mean, anything above a nine and up, like a 90, let's say a 95 and up, 95 and up. That's where like, there was nothing wrong with it, but there's no such thing as a perfect movie. So it's hard to give something a 10. Okay. Um, I'm going to say like,
00:51:42
Speaker
Like a 90s free then. I think they love it. Oh, my score definitely. That was after the first viewing.
00:51:53
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to go with you. I'm going to go with a 93. OK. Because I enjoyed it so much more the second time. Me too. I cried so much the second time. I think it's because I knew the music. Yeah, and I was able to sing in my head. And that's a lot of the movies, though, especially with the podcast now. Because I want to watch it fully critically. Yeah. And then the second time, I want to enjoy it and then still. Because then you can see more. Sometimes I enjoy a movie. See, again, there's so much things wrong with it. I'm like, oh, this is not as good. Yeah. So if I go back and it's better. It was so good. That means it's a really good movie. Yeah. So this goes from.
00:52:22
Speaker
My list of top 10 being pretty much set in stone, I thought. This jumps in, I think it's in my top five movies of the year now. Wow. And a list that's pretty hard to like play my favorite. Yeah, and like, and you're a big critic. You always have something to say. This is a movie I don't have much, the only, I think the only thing I have against this movie. Ms. Bog.
00:52:44
Speaker
is Bach. Why, are you serious? No, not the only, like there's like little tiny, like there was a couple of scenes where I was like. I think he probably just annoys you. Yeah, I think it's him though. I don't think it's the character Bach. I think it's Ethan Slater. You don't even know him. I know what he did. Me and Ryan have a list of people that want to hurt us. Oh my gosh. He's going to be on the list now. He's going to hear this and be like, why? Why do you hate me? You ruined my career. Because on an interview, Tommy Chris, I'm looking for you. You're off on the shelf ruined.
00:53:12
Speaker
ryan um Ryan thinks Vladimir Putin is going to hunt him down because Ryan made comments against Russia. Oh my gosh, stop it. That's scary. You don't even say that. We made a comment. We're like, if we get if we fall out of a window, we did not jump. Someone pushed us. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so 93s. Me Ryan never have the same score, so that's not very common. Well, I said it first, so you copied me. Well, because I want to go 94. 94 is like 90. I feel like if you give it a 94, I would give it a 95. Because I feel like 90 to 93.
00:53:42
Speaker
Unbelievably good 94 to 96 is Probably the best movie of the year always and that above that is an all-time great movie. This is an all-time great musical. I Agree with that. Yeah, but yeah ah that is the end of the review part But before we get going grace Tell everyone what your favorite movie and TV show are. Hello, everybody.
