About this listen

 Dana Fox is a veteran screenwriter and producer. The showrunner of the Apple TV series “Home Before Dark,” and the creator of the sitcom “Ben and Kate,” she is best known as the co-writer of “Wicked” and “Wicked: For Good,” two of the highest-grossing (and most popular) movies in American history. In this episode, she talks to Matthew about the art of bringing a beloved franchise to the screen and the expectations that followed the release of the first film. “I was so proud that it touched all kinds of people, and made people feel seen. Like they have a place in the world,” Fox says. “All these things that were so great, so emotional. And then suddenly I became more panicked about the second movie, because I was like, ‘Oh my God, people’s expectations are off planet Earth.’ It’s like, ‘This movie has to be an A-plus plus plus plus plus plus for them to feel like it’s even an A.’ And that was exciting, but scary, you know?” To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joincampside.com⁠.
