‘Wicked: For Good’ | The BSB Podcast

November 30, 2025 Brian Kitson Musical, Universal, Wicked 2 min read

Not even the Wizard can lie about the impact that Wicked has had, not just on the theater world, but on pop culture altogether. While the Broadway show has always been a powerhouse, something incredible happened when part 1 arrived in theaters last year. The entire world was taken by storm, with the world of Oz becoming a household topic of conversation once again. With a story so dynamic, John M. Chu and the creatives at Universal decided that Wicked couldn’t be captured in one part, ultimately splitting it into two movies, with Wicked: For Good completing Elphaba and Glinda’s story. However, was splitting the story of the Wicked Witch of the West a change for the better?

In this episode of the BSB podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko break down what audiences can expect from Wicked: For Good! Based on the second act of the stage musical, how does the film compare to what has come before? With additional storylines and original songs, does Universal’s sequel find its own identity? Listen in as these two talk about what they loved and what didn’t work for them in this For Good discussion!
