December 2025 Review

A WHOLE QUARTER of on-time website updates in a row! They should give me an award or something. Or, you know, I should give you a review or something. And I will! Despite Adobe Premiere’s best efforts, I got the Wicked For Good review out in a timely fashion, keeping my streak alive.

I particularly enjoyed making this review, since it felt so easy to talk about a film you’ve not only seen on screen but on stage. And reviews where I get to talk about a sequel to a film I’ve reviewed in the past are oddly satisfying. They’re like a sort of reflection as to how I’ve grown (or stagnated, I suppose) as a reviewer.

Anyways, check out the review! I think I raise some interesting ideas about the structure of Wicked’s story, as well as what limitations and hurdles this sets upon the second film. If you’re into musical theater, I’d particularly appreciate a watch and discussion on my perspective here. Check out the video on YouTube here. Thanks!
