Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. ease on down the road for a spellbinding deep dive into WICKED: FOR GOOD, the show-stopping finale to Jon M. Chu's cinematic journey through Oz.

With Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande returning to belt their faces off as the misunderstood Elphaba and the bubbly-but-conflicted Glinda, this second installment transforms the stage musical's darker second act into a sweeping blockbuster event. Tre'vell and Ray unpack the film's massive scale, the journalistic ethics of Oz, and whether the emotional payload of that final duet earns its tears. Does Chu stick the landing, or does the spectacle threaten to crush the sisterhood at its center?

Also on the docket: The hosts pull back the curtain on NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T, eyeing whether the Horsemen's magic still dazzles or if the franchise has run out of tricks. Then, they get into the weeds of RICKY, the searing new drama starring Stephan James that offers an unflinching look at life, masculinity, and survival post-incarceration.

Tune in for the final verdict: is the return to Oz a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts spill what's bringing them joy this week and face off in a magical edition of Black Cinema Games!
