About this listen
The first Wicked movie surprised everyone - vibrant, emotional, and full of heart. Its sequel, Wicked: For Good, arrives with big expectations, powerhouse leads, and a story that’s trying to juggle a lot at once. Some of it lands. Some of it… melts on contact.
In this episode of After the Frame, we dive into what worked and what didn’t: the stellar performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the lush world-building, the musical highs, and the places where the storytelling buckles under its own weight. We unpack the pacing issues, the overstuffed plot, the adaptation constraints, and what ultimately keeps this chapter from soaring like its predecessor.
Join us as we break down the spectacle, the emotion, and the growing pains of a sequel that shines in moments but struggles to fully find its voice.
