“Wicked” was one of the biggest movies of 2024. It was culturally
ubiquitous, a box office smash and an Oscar nominee for Best
Picture. Now, a year later, “Wicked: For Good” arrives in
theaters to finish the tale of the complicated friendship between
Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Can “Wicked: For Good” be the sensation that its predecessor was?
Will it inject new life into a movie business that has suffered a
historically bad business year? Will it satisfy the legions of
“Wicked” fans who have been waiting to see their favorite musical
brought to the big screen?

Gilbert Cruz is joined by Kyle Buchanan, a pop culture reporter
for The New York Times who profiled the stars of “Wicked,” and
Madison Malone Kircher, a reporter for the Styles desk and
affirmed “Wicked” fanatic, to discuss what “Wicked: For Good”
means for the movies.
