  Speaker 1: You guys would to go see the Weekend movie last night?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: We did, and.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: I thought it was so good.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I thought it was visually appealing. I really liked the storyline.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: It was definitely a different vibe than the first movie.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: So it was like, I feel like maybe a little
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: bit more like mature content.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: That is oh nighty, Like like there was a moment
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: where I'm like, I don't know if I can let
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Audi watch this movie.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: Really well, the book was kind of like that where
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: it's like it's like, oh, okay, is it Witch on
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: which no, I dug it?
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Nonna. It picks out light where part one left off,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: so you're really satisfied about where the storyline goes.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It is a little bit.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Spicier, a little bit more mature, but it was really good.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: They it's long, so it's two hours and seventeen minutes,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: So if I'm being hyper critical about it, there's probably
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: a handful of scenes that I could maybe pick out
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and make it a little shorter to get to the end.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Because the end is so satisfying and so good. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: just wish that it got there a little sooner. But
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: like hay And said, it is so visually stunning, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Cynthia Arrivo and Ariano Grande, they just have like the
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: most incredible voices and when they sing together.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Chemistry it's like the charts.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like there's like parts where you kind of pick
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: up from like the other songs from the first one,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: so you still feel kind of connected. But what I
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: really really enjoyed about it there was times that was
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: like laugh out loud moments, but then it was like
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: you were laughing and then two minutes later you're like
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: almost in tears.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's so funny. It's really emotional.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: There is a scene.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: There's a fight scene, and yes, maybe one of my
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: favorite fight scenes I've ever seen.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's like hilarious, hysterical.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Well, but what I heard about it because I talked
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: to someone yesterday.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: That saw it. Now.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I tried to watch Wicked, the first one on where
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: I was on Paramount Plus or HbA whatever was on,
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: and I couldn't get through five minutes.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so slow with the whole bubble
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: herd flame the bubble flying on the.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Opening of the original Wicked is slow. Once you get
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: into it, it's like you can almost pest forward.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: I heard that this second movie is good, but I
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: heard it doesn't follow whatever it is wherever? Is it
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: a book? Is it a storyline from somewhere else? Well, yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: there's it's changed. It took creative freedom to change stuff.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: The Wicked book is the first two movies, and then
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: if there's a sequel, be that Son of a Witch.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Did you guys, I don't know any of the original
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: storylines of what it's.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: Okay supposed to someone that doesn't know you enjoyed it,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: but I heard it's people that are Wicked fans that
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: are great.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: A minute you changed, you change this.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I've seen the play twice and I feel like it
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: does follow like the original storyline, like you have the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: character development of the character changes. But they definitely use
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: their creative freedom for sure. I mean to fill a
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: two and a half hour movie. I think the run
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: time for the Wicked play is like an hour and
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a half, so they really want I thought it was
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: way longer than that. Now I think it's like an
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: hour and a half two hours for the entire play.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It comes off Friday.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I also have to say the little girl that they
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: picked to play young Glinda.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: They killed it so adorable.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Dorothy is in it the one I was okay, So
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my gosh, this.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Is so crazy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: That's Doorthy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I wish they showed her face. They didn't. Oh, they
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: didn't know. And I think they did it on purpose.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I did too.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I know it was on purpose.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I know it totally was because they probably didn't want
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: to distract from Alpha Ba and Glinda and that storyline.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: But I still was like, this could go somewhere, like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: let's introduce the new Dorothy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Hi, Brittany, Hi, how's it going.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Did you see Wicked?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I thought Monday Night, and I loved it. It's great.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: So what I was gonna.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Say about the storyline is it follows the play, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: it elaborates.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It doesn't follow the book.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, the play is a little different. The book
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: gets really heavy in the weeds, and like I heard,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: the book is dark.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It is dark. It is, especially the first part with
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Alpa Ba's momb and all that. It's real dark.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And they wrap it up really really well at the end.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It kind of like leans into like the first movie too.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of cool. I was like, wait,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: are we about to start? The first one?
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Can to watch the second one first, Yeah, it'll go Okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: the Wizard of Oz?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Should you watch that?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Last?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I hate the Wizard of Oz.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's actually really cool.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It's such a good Waikeed for Good, such a good movie.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I definitely recommend.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Good by Brittany. Thanks for listening. So there's a show
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: on Netflix right now at number one. It's called The
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Beast in Me. My sister and I started watching it
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: last week or when I first came out, but they
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: got distracted, and so I went back to watch the
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: first episode yesterday and now I'm on the second episode
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: and I've been hearing good things about it from people
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: that saw it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: My sister texted me last night. She goes, what episode
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: do you want? I go, my an episode two?
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: She goes, it gets so sick and twisted is what
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: she says. And have you finished a Kyle I have?
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Does it get sick and twisted?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It gets a little, it gets very twisted. Really wow.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Because I'm kind of like, like, after watching all her faults,
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: like the twist at the end is like, whoa, oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: you never saw that coming. And so I started making
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: predictions of what the show was. She's like Nope, she goes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: it's not predictable.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: And I'm excited for you to watch it because it was.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's a really satisfying ending. It is.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're like, okay, all right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Is anybody here watching That's number one on Netflix? It's
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: called The Beast to Me with Claar Danes. Is anyone
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: here watching Claribus?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: No, that's on Apple TV right, Apple TV.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I always see the advertisement for it, but for some reason,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: it doesn't like grab me.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Hope it. I gotta wait for the season to be done.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: E l U R B I U S. I think okay, it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Got a one hundred percent of Rotten Tomatoes. It's the
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: guy that did Breaking Bad and he'd been waiting for
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: a long time to make this, and it's like, this
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: supposed to be this great show.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So I watched the first episode and I'm like what
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: this was?
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: So I'm almost done with the second episode and I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: still like a but I'm like.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm like, I'm kind of I'm kinda gonna follow through.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Is it like severance?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Like severance, you don't like.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: The season until you finished this, Well, that's true, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: it's still compelling. Those is still compelling. Her nonsense to me,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: have you seen it yet? I just started watching a
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: little bit of it, but it is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: More compelling than severance. In the beginning, you were like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: what's this because they tell you what happens. Something happens
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: right away, and you're like, whoa. But it's like, I think,
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: so it's the same guy that's Breaking Bad. And he
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: also did better Call Sault, and I bailed out a
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: better Call Saul because I heard it was so slow.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: It was slow for me, but I heard better Call
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: Sau is better than Breaking Bad, and I can't finish
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: better Call Saut.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So this is right there. I'm still kind of watching
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: when I got nothing to do.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So you must have to pay attention to it. Because
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you don't.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It's not like that you haven't seen any of you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: can't critique it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm telling you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: You will enjoy Landman, though, because you get the Landman's
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: a little outlandish.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Now it's okay. I didn't think it was outland.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: And you get you get Ali Laarder freaking out at
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the dinner table, which is always great. She has a
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: melt down, which I loved.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Just one episode out of the second season, it's still great.
