WEBVTT - The Wicked Movie Obsession Is REAL!

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is one of my favorite musicals. It really is. Oh,

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>She's gonna be good because she's got the funnies. Something

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>changed within me, el Cynthia, Oh, Jeff goblins in it.

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The should be afraid of Me, I guess, and I

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>think should something has changed within me, something is not

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>the same. I'm through with playing by the rules. Someone

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>else's okay, I ran out of breath. Welcome. I've just

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>given myself ghost bumps. And not because I'm a brilliant singer,

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>but because I'm singing a brilliant thorn. Wicked the movie

0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>is finally coming, and Wicked the musical, I think, is

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the best of our time. The Wizard of

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Oz just such a beloved movie and a really dark story.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>If you read the original, this is actually quite a

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>dark story. So it's gone more with the original Wizard

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of Oz and just like I guess, Dorothy found herself.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think ever since Maleficent, we've had this little

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a kickback with women being portrayed as the

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>villains and being really quite misunderstood. So this was written

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess with that in mind. I remember seeing this

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>musical and I don't know if I've ever told this story.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But when I saw it, I was a nanny, so

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I took my two twin girls with me, and they

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>were only like five, but we're obsessed with the soundtrack

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and so we used to listen to it constantly, and

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>when we went to see it, I wasn't sure if

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they'd sit through it or but they were riveted, and

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>like we're all three of us were crying by the end,

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and I just remember the hair standing up, the amount

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of inspiration I got, like the power I felt of

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>watching this story, but not just that. I went out

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that night and I went out and I sat in

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a bar and I told a group of people the

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>entire plot and it went for about an hour. So

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a two and a half three hour play musical got

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>condensed down to only an hour. But sitting in a bar,

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 1>we're drinking white wine, and everyone was riveted because I'm like,

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, Wizard of Us, okay, but did you know

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>that there's something was something else going on at the

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>same time. And that's when I kind of went to that.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm going to get to that part where

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, because Dorothy is in it, the scarecrows in it,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the lions in it, the tin Man's in it. I

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>ruined it for these people, but I didn't care because

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I was white girl wasted and they were so with

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>me on the telling of it. They were like, this

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>is a really brilliant story, and I'm like, it's so clever.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>It is just so clever. And you know, I went

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw it again because I just did a story

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>for postcards for it and that was given to me,

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and I could not have been happier. I s The

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>first thing I said was can I please get tickets

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>to go and see it? Even though I'd seen it.

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm gonna really need to see it

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't seen it, but I had seen it

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and it happened all over again. I was just, Oh,

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that. Oh anyway, the movie is Cynthia Arrivo

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and Ariana Grande are playing the lead roles. Jeff Goldblum

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>is playing the Wizard. Brilliant choice. Whoever chose that. This

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is why the Oscars are going to have a casting

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>category now, best Casting. This is the reason why they

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>needed that kind of a category because Jeff Goldblum playing

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the Wizard. What Michelle Yeo is also in it, and

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>she is playing matter morrible, and the main characters are

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>all pretty new to this particular story. It is about friendship,

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>it is about women's empowerment. But also, and I'm not

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>giving anything away, it is about cancelation. And it is

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>so relevant to today, trans kids, people of color, women, minorities,

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>having them pushed out of their land, people being taken over,

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 1>rules being put in place, caging animals, making them the villain.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>It touches on all of it. There's subplots going on

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>in this movie that you will all watch this with kids,

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>because you know, a lot of people live rurally regionally

0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and they don't get to their capital cities to see

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>these musicals. So it's so wonderful that they make these

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>movies that everyone can watch. And I've just watched the

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>trailer and because we've just watched the musical and the

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>movie is exactly it, and you know, sometimes they really

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>get it wrong, and this one is exactly how it

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>should be and it's exactly how it should look. Ah,

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they've just gone, we've got a winning formula. Let's just

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>stick with that. Why don't we just stick with that?

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>So I can't wait and we will be discussing it again.

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So go and watch the trailer. Get yourself. So it's sad, right,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>why are you talking what cat's got your tongue? Because

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you're not on air? And I am okay, But that's

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good segue for myself to lead into another

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>useful fact. Do you know where the term cat got

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>your tongue comes from? Haws? It can't actually got someone's tongue.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Cat got your tongue? Well, I thought bert was coming in,

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's still it is coming, but it's deep down

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:17.359
<v Speaker 1>and bannels on my guts. But there it is, da

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>da da da. Look, cat's got your tongue means when

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>someone is at a loss for words. The origin is

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the English Navy used to use a whip called the

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Cat o nine tails. Oh, the cat of nine tails

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>not a good one. It was for flogging and it

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was painful, and it had nine whips on it. The

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>pain was so severe that it caused the victim to

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>stay quiet for a long time. Another possible sauce could

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>be from ancient Egypt, where liars and blasphemer's tongues were

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>cut out and fed to the cats water a treat

0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>for the cats. I reckon it could be either or

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>both like cat and nine tails. I mean, just to

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>flog a human is anyway, let's go with that one,

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>because to have your tongue cut out and fed to

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a cat, because cats in ancient Egypt were everything. They

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>were God's sphinx. S where the sphinx comes from? Is

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the sphinx still around? I think it is. I think

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. I mean all cats are beautiful, but the

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>sphinx is special because of that. So cat got your tongue.

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Why are you still not saying anything? I don't know.

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever eaten tongue? Anyone at home? We're listening,

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever eaten tongue? Well, I thought i'd try

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it one day, and of course I tried it add

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a deli with a boyfriend, and I nearly vomited. And

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I can eat anything because I come from a European

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>background where we used to eat raw fish and you know,

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>chicken necks and you know feet and all sorts of

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like you do when you come from

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>portslavic countries, you eat the entire animal and you learn

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>how to make it taste good though lamb's brains all

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of the things. Right, Yeah, cow toungue is exactly how

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you think it's going to be. You know, on your tongue.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel your tongue right now. You know you've got

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the little what is that what is the top of

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>your tongue on there the taste buds. Yeah, yeah, you can.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You can feel those in your mouth when you're eating

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a cow tongue. So it didn't go well. And anyway,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he's wonderful. Today is going to be the day
