  • Summary

  • Wicked made a splash this Thanksgiving season, but is it a good movie to see with kids? We weigh in on all the high points of Wicked discourse: whether Ariana Grande will ever step out of her Glinda performance; whether this movie is too long for a Part I; and whether singing in the movie theater is ever okay. But most importantly, we discuss how we approached seeing Wicked as parents.

    Things we mentioned in this episode:

    Is Ariana Grande Going to Be Stuck Like This Forever? by Fran Hoepfner in Vulture

    Wicked made us think of these movies and shows for grown ups:

    • Gone Girl
    • Swing Kids
    • Amelie

    We cast our gritty reboot with these actors:

    • Amy Schumer as Glinda
    • Leslie Jones as Elpheba
    • John Cho as the Wizard
    • Fred Armisen as Nessa Rose
