Wicked and the Quest for Popularity
Jan 9, 2025
Lexy, Garret, and Nicole discuss Wicked and how much of society still operates like status in high school. We rave about the movie from the performances, to the costumes, to the cinematography, and the utter triumph Jon Chu created. The social issues in the movie are presented through the lens of high school and the movie's most popular song, Popular, which is resonant to the way we seek status in our adult lives.
Nicole recommends a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers classic The Gay Divorcee. Lexy recommends the movie podcast Guilty Pleasures. Garret recommends the original Oz books.
