    ‘Wicked: For Good’ Review (feat. Connor and Dylan MacDowell)

    It’s been a clock tick since DRAMA.’s Connor and Dylan MacDowell have joined Sophia and Nick on the pod, so what better way to rejoicify than by discussing the movie adaptation of Act II of the thrillifying musical, Wicked. Some may call it hideoteous, but the box office numbers show a very different story. Elphaba and Glinda’s troubled friendship is further examined in Wicked: For Good, especially under the tyrannical rule of the Wizard and Madame Morrible. Listen as they all share their opinions of the follow-up along with an in-depth discussion of the songs, including the two new ones, scenes, performances, and more. What did and didn’t work? What from the stage adaptation was altered? Does it have Oscar potential? Tune in to find out all of this and more during their hilarious chat!

    Updated 2026 Oscar Nomination Predictions

    Welcome to the first purgatory of awards season: the period after fall festivals have ended and before the first set of major nominations and awards have been announced (except for the Gotham Film Awards nominations which came out last week).

Remember, you can always find them including more categories here! Listen to find out how they think Picture, Director, and all Acting categories will shake out.

    Frequent Cinematic Collaborators: Alfred Hitchcock & Edith Head

    As another Halloween approaches, Sophia and Nick are excited to celebrate Hitchcock-tober once again! This time, they marvel at the outstanding collaboration between the famed director and the costume designer with the most Oscar nominations and wins, Edith Head. Their eleven films together spanned three decades, multiple studios, and the transition from B/W to color. Listen to find out how Head uses different materials and colors to create looks that accentuate an actor’s figure, develop a character’s identity, and provide narrative function, all the while dazzling audience with unforgettable designs. Should she have been nominated for more than just To Catch a Thief? From Notorious (1946) to Topaz (1976), which is your favorite collaboration between them? *Note: If you’ve never seen Vertigo and do NOT want it spoiled, skip ahead from (36:46) to (38:55) for a more general appreciation of the film’s costumes.
