S2E15: Defying Evangelicalism: Our Thoughts on Wicked

from Full Mutuality · host Full Mutuality

The biggest Broadway musical adaptation has hit the big screen, and for some reason Evangelicals have some thoughts on it. Our dear friend Jessica Goforth from the Leaving the Village podcast sat down with us to chat about the new movie, Wicked: Part 1.We spend a chunk of the episode talking about musical theatre in general, along with some other Wicked-adjacent topics, so if you want to jump straight into our conversation about Wicked itself, skip straight to 37:40.Nate recently wrote an essay with even more thoughts on some of the political themes in Wicked as well as how some of the characters resonate with the Exvangelical experience.

Full Metal RPG The Full Metal RPG Crew Tabletop RPG Podcast that talks about Tough subjects and probably has some fun. Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Unauthorized Disclosure Kevin Gosztola Become a Paid Subscriber: https://anchor.fm/unauthorized-disclosure/subscribe"Unauthorized Disclosure" is a weekly podcast hosted by Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola.
