Episode 31: "Gal Pals" - Moana 2 / Wicked Part I

The Brendans are once again joined by musical theater guru Austin Wilden to chat the big musical blockbusters ruling the box office. We chew on the middling Moana 2 and contemplate how it exemplifies Disney's relenquishing of the animation domination crown even as they rake in record profits, and marvel at how John M. Chu and crew accomplish the impossible with the first installment of their 2-part adaptation of Wicked. We also have a few holiday recommendations for anyone needing some extra festivus about now. Our Opening Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RA https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope Follow Austin on Bluesky, Letterboxd, and Tumblr, follow Foley on Blusky and Cinapse, and follow Agnew on Letterboxd, Bluesky and wherever you can bloody well find him.
