Defying Gravity While Black: WICKED: FOR GOOD Review | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 10
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!

Any time Amanda Seales is on my timeline it's never for anything positive. I know very little about her outside of Insecure and whatever new social media drama she's in

Not one of the 25 dramas and comedies that movie companies released in North American theaters over the past three months has become a hit. Some have played to near-empty auditoriums, including “After the Hunt,” staring Julia Roberts and “Christy,” with Sydney Sweeney.

See what happens when you wanna get litigious?
A new class action lawsuit against Spotify alleges the company has “turned a blind eye” to “mass-scale fraudulent streaming” on its platform and that one musician in particular has been the beneficiary of “billions” of fake streams: Drake.

When someone describes someone else as weird, ask them to elaborate because they could be projecting. Judge the source, not the subject.
