End Credits #368 - December 4, 2024 (Wicked)

Guelph Politicast

This week on End Credits, we're not defying gravity, we're leaning into it! It's one of the biggest movies of the year, based on a stage musical and secretly the first of two parts. Oh yes, we're getting to Wicked, and speaking of things that people are looking forward to, we're going to each count off three of our most anticipated movies for the last four weeks of the year.

This Wednesday, December 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Great Expectations (2024 Edition). Now that we're in December, the end of the year is inevitable, and that means our Top 5 of the Year episode is coming up very fast. So to start this week, we will look at out lists and see where the gaps are; what movies do we have to see by the end of the year? What movies are we looking forward to before the end of year? With so much to see and so little time, what are we watching in our spare time?

REVIEW: Wicked (2024). It's starting to look like the biggest movie of the year! We knew that Wicked was going to be one of the most anticipated movies of the year, but now it looks like a box office juggernaut and firmly part of the awards season discussion. The plot? The politics of Oz before Dorothy arrived and how the Wicked Witch of the West's story is more complicated than you may think. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Wicked is winning over old fans and making some brand new ones, but are we among them?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
