#1041: Wicked: For Good Review, Train Dreams, Golden Brick Longlist

November 26, 2025 / Sophie Kempenaar

Josh (a fan of last year’s “Wicked”) and Adam (not a fan) review the sequel, WICKED: FOR GOOD, and try to get to the bottom of why it fails where the stage musical (mostly) succeeds. Plus, raves for Clint Bentley’s TRAIN DREAMS, and the Golden Brick longlist.

This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
