  • Wicked: For Good…. or Bad - The Nerds Review - Ep 188
    Nov 28 2025

    This week we return to Oz for our highly anticipated WICKED: FOR GOOD!


    It’s been a year since Wicked Part One rocked our Miguel’s world, and now we’re back to review part two!


    Does it defy gravity, or does it suffer from the second act syndrome?


    We get into what worked, what didn’t, how the cast holds up, favorite moments (and least favorite), so be warned… there will be spoilers.


    As always find us wherever you get your podcasts, watch our episodes on YouTube. Like, follow and subscribe and stay tuned next week for more!





    "Wicked: For Good (also known as Wicked: Part Two[c]) is a 2025 American musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The sequel to Wicked (2024), it adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. Ariana Grande,[b] Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum return from the first film. Set in the Land of Oz before and during the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film explores the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda as they embrace their new identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good." - Wiki

    Nov 21 2025

    Pod favorite, director Edgar Wright comes crashing back into theaters with his take on Stephen King’s THE RUNNING MAN! Is it a hit or a stumble?

    Before our feature discussion we discuss the news of Tom Cruise’s Governors Award, as the legendary actor finally gets his Oscar.

    Then we have a (rather unfortunate) look at the latest teaser trailer for Disney’s latest live-action remake, MOANA.

    We have a good session in our “Let’s talk about this now” segment, discussing the crossroads of ordering from one or two restaurants at a time and the art of choking!

    We wrap it all up with what we’re into, including Miguel and Luis getting onto the Playstation Plus package, Ed reviews Lynne Ramsey’s DIE MY LOVE (with yet another great performance from Jennifer Lawrence), and his journey to Slough House with appletv’s SLOW HORSES!

    Luis caps it all off with his first thoughts on Vince Gilligan’s latest, PLURIBUS, also on Appletv! Can the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul go 3 for 3?
