Nerd To Know Basis #274 🤓: Wicked Sequels, Gentle Monsters & Running Men

We break down Wicked: For Good, discussing the risks and rewards of splitting the beloved musical in two, whether Act Two can live up to expectations, and how the film handles its darker themes. From there, it’s on to Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein — a visually rich, emotionally grounded take on the classic monster that puts empathy and tragedy front and centre. Finally, we hit the dystopian arena with Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, asking whether this slick reimagining delivers Wright’s trademark energy or feels restrained by the source material. Big adaptations, iconic monsters, and modern takes on classic stories — it’s a packed episode of films worth arguing about. #NerdToKnowBasis,#Podcast,#PopCulture,#Wicked,#WickedForGood,#Frankenstein,#GuillermoDelToro,#TheRunningMan,#EdgarWright,#MovieReviews,#FilmPodcast,#SciFi,#Fantasy,#GeekCulture
