Good For Nothing? Why We’ve All Had Enough Of Wicked
Manage episode 522029672 series 2886723
As we're all subjected to another Wicked press tour for the second instalment of the blockbuster, the question on everyone's lips is whether the Wicked press tour ever stopped in the first place? Greeted with another series of emotional interviews, reaction tweets and harrowing body discourse, it felt urgent to dissect what precisely is dampening the furore this time around.
This week, hosts (and Wicked haters) Ione and Gina take their magnifying class to the discourse surrounding Wicked: For Good. Have we all become desensitised to memeing eating disorders, is the palpable fatigue from the stars getting in the way of our enjoyment or does it just boil down to the fact that the film itself just isn't very, well, good?

A statement by journalists: We condemn Israel's killing of journalists in Gaza and urge integrity in Western media coverage of Israel's atrocities against Palestinians.
