Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's a show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, the only person I know who is as excited
as my wife for the Wicked movies, the first one
and now this latest one.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That just came out is Greg. Yeah. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Yeah. So we we actually forced Greg to
go see the first one.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hated it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Living Color Men on a film on books and a.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Kiss in a recoor nation. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Uh so we figured it was only right because this
is the end, right, this is there were only going
to be two, right, I might have some.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
News what talk of a prequel about Glinda.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's how they always do, which has nothing to do.
There's no book of that or musical of that. That's
just just fabricated to make money. That the money, they'll
do the prequel and then they'll do part three. Maybe
I'll be by then.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, Greg, get ready you'll get to go see that
one too. Floating in Toto the Theater.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
In a bubble some message.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I saw that Gina posts a pretty funny meme because
we're talking about like Ariana Grande and Ariba, you know,
like how they're pounding around and this kind of weird
thing they have with each other. And Gina had this
meme that she posted, and it's true. If you've ever
known theater kids, they're just weird like they are like that.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
If anyone who.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Thinks this relationship is weird has never been around theater kids,
they're all like this.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Super annoying a couple. Now, all right, it's Greg.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You went to Did you go with anybody who is
just like like a solo outing people you're on a
business mine.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I went with Mario and we saw it in Imax.
This is the first time I ever experienced Imax. Wow,
And you know there are a couple of people like
waiting in line for popcorn going. I bet you they're
going to go work. Yeah, which you know, I noticed
no difference in Imax other than it's so crazy loud.
(02:29):
I thought I was. I thought I was deaf before.
I do hate that, definitely deaf.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You know, the size of the screen being much larger.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Really, all the movie screens look big to me.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So at least you went in those comfy chairs.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, that ruled. And I actually didn't fall asleep during
Wicked for Good, which is centered around Glinda and Alphabus.
So Glinda is the good Witch and she don't know
I'm telling this who don't know you just shut up.
I don't know a good witch. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
All the dorks in the room calmed down and calmed
down and let the non psycho understand what the hell is.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Glinda is the good witch played by Ariana Grande, who
is so skinny, she's so lucky yea. And Alphaba is
the misunderstood green one who is considered the Wicked Witch,
but in reality she's actually a really good person. Now
at this point, Glinda has risen to power. She's real popular,
She's totally loved by everybody. Alphaba is hated and Oz
(03:32):
actually wants her dead. And these two were friends. They've
kind of drifted apart because Ariana Grande is just drunk
with popularity and like the tin man getting a heart
in The Wizard of Oz. I didn't love Wicked for good,
but I did not hate it. If like and hate
(03:52):
were a scale, it would tip ever so slightly in
the like direction. Really was the music like broke in up?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It was more broken up. The music was more talkie
than singing. There's a lot of mixtures of talking with singing.
The lyrics were ridiculous. We'll get to that in a second.
But the couple things I did like about it. There
were more allusions made to the Wizard of Oz, like
you see the building of the Yellow Brick Road. There's
a lot of animal justice in the movie, because animals
(04:21):
are hated in this version of Oz, but they get
some revenge. There's gonna be a lot of spoilers here
if you're not familiar with Wicked. All right, there's more
actual dialogue like you mentioned in Menace, it's darker in theme.
It's a good story about two friends who drift apart
and they lead separate lives. I also liked the start
of tin Man. You kind of see the origin of
the tin Man. I like how the Wizard was a
(04:43):
total con man. He's like a villain. You think he's
the hero and the Wizard of Oz. He's a bad dude.
I forget, Greg, Did you like the Wizard of Oz? Yes? Overall? Okay,
so maybe that's what Maybe because there's.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
More of Oz life, Yeah, tin Man and Lion and
the other So maybe that was what.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Exactly, because I actually know about the Wizard of Oz.
When I saw Wicked the first one, I thought, what
the hell is this? I don't get any of it.
This is way more Wizard of Oz like, and Dorothy
in this one actually makes a cameo. So that's what
I liked about this movie. You kind of feel like, oh,
I'm watching behind the scenes. You see Dorothy. It's not
Judy Garland. It's just you only see it from behind walking,
(05:24):
And it kind of explains a lot of that stuff. Uh,
and you see more about the flying monkeys, which I
think are pretty bad ass. They're cool.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I saw a couple of things about like, uh, how
they had to make the yellow Brick Road look a
little different. They couldn't because of all the copywriter trademark.
I don't know how they yeah whatever, the intellectual property
of the original film of the Road. Yeah, they can't
show Dorothy's face. They did not allowed to do that.
They can't. The pattern of the brick had to be different,
like idea they were. Trust me, I live with a wicked,
(05:55):
obsessed freak. We original Wizard of.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oz right bomb, I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, but who owns it down?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, he's nuclear dead, But who owns the right like
what the studio or.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whoever was the Lollipop Guild in there? No, And then
that's the thing that I didn't understand they refer to
munchkins like they do in the Wizard of Us. They're
not small. They don't don't do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
In the New snow White, they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Because there's this one character. His name is Bach, and
I think in real life he used to date Ariana.
Dude is weird looking af That's why beauty models now
are no longer beautiful. It's not allowed skinny hot people
like Bach goes to the train station. He can't take
a ride because they've forbidden munchkins from taking this train.
And I thought he's a munchkin.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They pretty much changed to like munchkins means redheads.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It made no sense. So there's a few things I
did like about it. The things I didn't like about
it a lot of it. But the acting completely subpar.
This was high school theater at bad. You would think
a massive budget movie, a massive money earner would have
this insanely amazing acting. Totally subpar. This is like rookie acting.
(07:10):
The singing was a mix of talking and singing. Like
I mentioned, harrendous lyrics, especially in one of the first
songs that Glinda sings. It's called thank Goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
One of the lyrics, WOULDI I issue not? It comes
a little bit later in the song, but one of
the lyrics is a little well complicated. There's kind of
a sort of cost. There's a couple of things get lost.
There are bridges you cross, you didn't know you crossed.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Until you've crossed.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Garbage cross, there are bridges you cross, you didn't know
you crossed until you've crossed. Hew moronic is that.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I dug a little bit into it, and they said
that Wizard of Oz is own by Warner Brothers Pictures,
and Universal is the one that put out this movie.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, so yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
That's why there's some copyright thing. But the book that
it's based on is public domain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't know where This lyric is very end at the.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Very end, towards the very end, it's so baddies true,
very very very very end. The lyrics before that, I'm
giving up on them. We're not enough, right, terrible. There
are bridges you cross, you don't know you cross until
(08:37):
you've crossed.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't know what stone or five year old wrote
those lyrics. I liked how the wedding between Glinda and
Fierro got totally ruined. That was good because it was
like anti fairy tale. I hated how quickly this Fierro
guy went from loving Glinda to loving Alphaba out of nowhere.
It was a fast turn of events. I thought that
was dumb. There was a borderline sex scene, which I
(08:59):
found very People thought this was very salacious. Yeah, between
this guy Fierro and Alphaba, it was suggestive. It wasn't
a sex scene, but it was very suggestive. And I
liked how Fierro told Alphaba that she's beautiful and she
thought he was lying, and he said, I'm just seeing
things in a different way. I thought that was very
awe babe. Now back to the music in the end.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But sorry, how pissed would you be if a guy
said you're beautiful because I'm seeing things in a different way.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, that's not such an So then in the end,
Glinda and Alphaba they have a total renaissance. They realize
they love each other again. They are just so in
love with their friendship, but they have to say goodbye.
And their final goodbye song I believe it's called Oh,
(09:45):
I don't even know what it's called for good thank
you Gina, and I actually liked that song. I thought
it was touching. Some of the lyrics were good. But
major spoiler alert, Gina, you'll already know this because it
happened in the play and in the movie. You think
Alphaba died and it would have ruled because I was
kind of bummed. I'm like, wow, this is kind of
(10:07):
sad Alphabet died. Glinda goes to where her hat is
on the floor, and you're thinking like, oh, damn, that's
pretty sad. But no, Alphabet went into a trap door.
She didn't die. She goes off with Fierro, who becomes
the scarecrow. Yeah, because he got all beaten up in
(10:28):
this field, beaten near to death. And then I guess the.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
SS like, don't let him die, don't let him bleed
mad scare.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Made him into a scarecrow. So his face looks all
weird and it's got like Nash and straw. He's still hot.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, you think Jonathan Bailey is not your guy, I
don't think not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But overall, with the exception of these insanely stupid lyrics.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I think I think I found them before you grag. Oh, yeah,
because I pulled up on Spotify, you know, and go
right to the lyrics.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
Good straight and it seems a little well, that's it complicated.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
There's a consort cost, there's a.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Couple of things, kid.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Lost, there are bridges.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You cross, you didn't know you're cross. Tell your girls.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Is there is worse lyrics. It's not a story of
mankind stupid. I would be you crossed if I was
already on a grande.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I was.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
No, I am not saying it right. She did a
great job with it for that being a lyric.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, but do you know why you shouldn't have been
quote unquote surprised that she didn't die at the end.
Why because in the song and the song that you hate,
the thank Goodness, they say like everyone.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Thinks pure water will melt her.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
People are so empty headed, don't believe anything, and that's
what they can the idea.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, I didn't read into it that much neat and
I couldn't take notes during a movie, obviously, but I
remembered that lyric and I told myself, don't forget this lyrics.
It's so dumb. But overall, on a scale of five
five yellow bricks, I'm giving wicked for good three yellow brick.
(12:23):
Not horrific, not great, yellow bricks. All right, Well, you
know what, I am surprised, and I didn't fall asleep.
That's a big deal. More action.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, I gotta tell you your review of it. Overall,
I'm not gonna watch it, but I'm leaning more toward
maybe i'd watch it. I'm not gonna watch it, yeah, yeah,
but I'm now leaning more toward maybe I would.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It wouldn't be the torture you expected it to be.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, if you get stuck on a plane and there's
nothing else, all the other movies got deleted.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think I just raw dogged the first one you would. Yeah, Nuclear, I'm.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Never gonna see that. Yeah. All right, Well, thank you, Greg.
Sorry to spoil the ending for everybody. The real fans
have seen it nine times.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Great Now we were we were surprised with Greg Gory's
review of Wicked too. Yeah, didn't hate it, didn't hate
didn't love it, didn't love it, love it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I mean I thought it was gonna be just a
pure hatred. Didn't destroy it, way better than the first roe. Now,
will we be.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Just as surprised when Sea Bass tells us, because you
know we've We've mentioned a couple of times already on
the show. We played you a couple of clips already,
but see bats went and watched the whole thing, and
we're gonna get his review here real quick. On Sebastian
Maniscalco's Netflix Yeah, sorry, Tulu on Hulu Beware called it
(13:52):
ain't right.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
And first off, he comes out, he's playing this to
a sold out packed United Center in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And because that's where he's from.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
If you can't tell how he fake talks like this,
he comes out with a sm Sebastian Manascalco like like
puffy uh greaser jacket from the Greaser Jacket, Pink Lady's
jacket from Greece. On the back it says it ate right,
so you're not confused about what's going on. That's he's
got his name on his jacket. He's got the title
of the special in his back. It was taped over
(14:23):
a year ago, so there's a lot of like Olympics references.
You're like, wait, what, Oh, that's why he's talking about that.
I mean the Olympics are coming back around again. Yeah,
I mean not summer, but but a.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Year to release. Yeah, that was strange.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Straight, he was professionally shot, obviously, here's a clip. He's
talking about kids and going to parties and stuff and
how other people's children are sometimes rude.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Right, and these kids today they have no problem talking
to adults. Growing up, I was scared of other adults.
These kids, they come right up to you and rude.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Eight years old, The kids like, where's my burger?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I'm like, hey, get.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
There's no call for that kind of language. Luddy, vulgar
and abusive language. That's an automatic disconnect. You've got a
dirty horrors mouth. Is classic Sea Bess. This is classic.
I'll admit at this point that is classic Sea Bess. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
So the point is he tells the burger or he
tells the kid too, I get the f out of here,
and I don't like your parents either, which didn't happen
number one.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
But number two is not a joke. Like if a
roode kick, if a kid is up to you.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And you're you know, you're you're manning the grill at
a party, he says, oh, where's my burger? And you
would never get the f out of here? Kid?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Right, that's not just the reason they're there, and that
you're right, there's right again, but he like, but he
does it all with this breathing the voice. So it's
that kind of theme.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Follows he talks about going he's an old man now
he's in his fifties. He's going to the doctor and
h his description again, find the joke here.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
This is this is what he waits. He sits on
this line his description of a doctor visit. So I'm
going to the doctor and it's weird.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Come out and they asked you to come in. They
say your name is Sebastian.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Okay, I always go the wrong way. It's like, I know,
that's why. No, I'm that I got my margaret. What
are you laughing at? And then you come in? I
relate to that, you guys, And he's just and he's
the movement.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
He's kind of like puttering around the stage like like
he's lost laughing.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But that's not funny.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
By the way, you don't have to feel bad for Sago.
The guy's making a billion dollars so much. The guy's
cleaning up. And I do realize that comedy is subjective, right,
So you know, we get people a time. Oh, you
guys like Joe Cooy and you guys like you and
like all these different people, you know, Yeah, Okay that
what you just brought there is what I became I
(16:49):
rate at watching the Sebastian Manscalco Special is I'm no
longer met at him.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I'm mad at the crowd.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I am discouraging it because what they're laughing at is
a cartoon character.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Especially in that example right there, he says, they come
out and they say Sebastian and they cracked up.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
And what he's doing is he doesn't have jokes per se.
So he's what he's doing is he's selling the hell
out of it with the cartoon voice and the silly
little walk.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well we did it when we talked about like, uh,
you know that that clip that we had, uh where
they were talking about like couples watching TV together, and
like he didn't he didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Like oh have you same blah blah, and people are
freaking out the jdn't He didn't. Yeah, he didn't say anything.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
It's people are laughing at stuff you laugh at when
you're a five year old, which is funny voices and
silly walks.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, here he is.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I have another I was there's a big chunk about
him and his wife and watching TV together.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Again, this is a him and his wife. See if
you can find the joke in this? All right?
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Now, my wife and I can't agree on what to
watch at the end of the long day. I want
to watch something that has like some like a gun
or like an equalizer. Benzel Washington, Oh, yeah, what's going
on here?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That's what I want to see. She's like, you want
to watch.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Love is Mind?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, I would love to watch Love is Wind fifty
one years old.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't think so big, all.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Right, all right, because men be watching this type of
thing and women be watching.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
That, and I thought to myself, like it should be menace. Yeah,
I watch watching I'm all right, Like this is the
kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
We would say that you'd have this conversation like here
in the studio about whatever topic, but we don't expect
it to be like I would ever write that down.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Oh that's gold. Can you not get a writer to
make a punchline with you? Punch that up? I think
he could there be a joke in there, of course,
of course there could be.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
He could go into like have an angle on it
about love is blind or about the equalizer. But I said,
it's just my wife like this, and I like that
but the future is all right, Uh, here's something that
is technically a joke.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So so far, I haven't heard anything I think that
Sea Best would like. And I'm also getting the vibe
from Sea Best. And he wasn't really himself all that much.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Hold on, just real quick.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
You said he could get something to punch it up
or give him a punchline, but he obviously doesn't need.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Yeah, he's learned to do this this technique that's just awful.
And here's technically a joke. He's again, this is taped
last year. So he's talking about the Paralympics and this
amazing swimmer he saw.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, do you want to feel lazy about yourself?
Watch the para Olympics. I was watching swimming. Guy had
no legs and no arms. It's kind of what you
need to do the sport. Okay, that's that's a kind
of a joke, right yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Now I'm sitting there in my underwear eight and popcorn.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Watch him a guy swim with his eyelashes. All right,
that's okay, those are technically jokes.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, but again, is that worth an arena of people laughing? No?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Like if I if we wrote that here in the studio.
It'd be like, oh okay, yeah, that wouldn't be like,
let's take this on the road. I mean fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
He could have gone somewhere with it, I guess, like
the beginning of the build of it, like and then it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Pays off with you cut it off.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
No, no, that's it laughing put in the effort, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
But that's like menace could have no offense, could have
written that joke. Yeah, what's like if you talked about it?
What's he swimming with his eyelashes? Yeah, okay, that's cute,
that's funny. But like that's that whole thing. Okay, so
let's let's end this up. This is the end it ate, right, okay?
On Hulusabash and Meniscalka. In fact, we don't have to
watch it because we alreadykind of a yeah yeah, and
again I said, I'm sorry, mister Maniscalco, but I'm gonna
blow your big closer. This is the the end bit.
(20:25):
He has this whole like ten minutes about going to
Universal Studios with his kids, and he talks about this
weirdo guy who sat down next to him at some
point Universal Studios, and what's wrong with this guy that
sat next to him, all.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Right, three daughters, a wife, he's in his mid forties.
Starts talking to me. He's right in at me, right
right in, like we came to the park together.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Starts talking. He's like, what time does what time does
this start? This guy's got no pe.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No pe no.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
All I'm saying is prioritize your life.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You don't go are you universal?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And then he did, teeth, you get the.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Cost as much as to take it. God, bless your
I love you, thank you for coming to Okay. I
kind of like that. Yeah, that's kind of dire. Yeah,
let's prioritize. Agree with the s of it, but believable.
And then when he and then he says, what does
(21:33):
you start? Like, yep, because people come on the big
laugh line there was he said teeth and a funny voice. Yeah,
and it works for him. Some of the guy on
s n L who impreciated him was funnier. That guy,
which yeah, check it out. Yeah that bit kids, kids
keeps getting passed around.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Yeah, he's coming out with a special soon too.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh yeah, I saw something woul would be funny.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Kind of like Adam Ray going around is doctor Phil Yeah,
that'd be funny if he went around.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Doing got paid to see that somebody on the text.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Really interesting, it'd be you never get him on record
saying it. I wonder what other comedians think.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
About they would have crapped on fifteen years ago. But
now that he is one of the quote unquote illuminati again,
I think he was the highest grossing comedian a couple
of years ago. Yeah, now that he's a big name
that they don't want.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
To do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, And I've heard from people who have dealt with
him personally that he's a dick. So that's why I
don't feel bad about Honestly, I don't feel like the
word on him is that he started very stalt to
the earth, very cool, very whatever, and then overtime, as
he's gotten more popular, he's become a real prick.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
And he ended he ended the special by what follows him?
You know, he's walking backstage at the United Center and
he's back there, but his kids daddy did.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
But there's a camera waiting right there for him. Of course, Jack,
guess I want to scale of one to five diapers
that you need to because you're peeing so much from laughing.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yes, A comedian from laughing one now. But as a
committ and he's a he's a solid three, like he
knows how to do comedy. But he doesn't again as
we've just heard, doesn't do jokes negative five because I
hate the audience so much.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Right, so, you're but you give a whole special out
of out of five diapers, you're giving it a half
a diaper a half?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Are there? You go? There, you go? All right, Well,
thank you for that sea mass. We'll take a break.
We do have some more woody show coming up for
you next. Yeah, get out, get the hell out of
my house.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
In Jesus name, I pray you'll get in the name
of the Lord.
It's a show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, the only person I know who is as excited
as my wife for the Wicked movies, the first one
and now this latest one.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That just came out is Greg. Yeah. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Yeah. So we we actually forced Greg to
go see the first one.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hated it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Living Color Men on a film on books and a.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Kiss in a recoor nation. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Uh so we figured it was only right because this
is the end, right, this is there were only going
to be two, right, I might have some.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
News what talk of a prequel about Glinda.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's how they always do, which has nothing to do.
There's no book of that or musical of that. That's
just just fabricated to make money. That the money, they'll
do the prequel and then they'll do part three. Maybe
I'll be by then.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, Greg, get ready you'll get to go see that
one too. Floating in Toto the Theater.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
In a bubble some message.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I saw that Gina posts a pretty funny meme because
we're talking about like Ariana Grande and Ariba, you know,
like how they're pounding around and this kind of weird
thing they have with each other. And Gina had this
meme that she posted, and it's true. If you've ever
known theater kids, they're just weird like they are like that.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
If anyone who.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Thinks this relationship is weird has never been around theater kids,
they're all like this.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Super annoying a couple. Now, all right, it's Greg.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You went to Did you go with anybody who is
just like like a solo outing people you're on a
business mine.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I went with Mario and we saw it in Imax.
This is the first time I ever experienced Imax. Wow,
And you know there are a couple of people like
waiting in line for popcorn going. I bet you they're
going to go work. Yeah, which you know, I noticed
no difference in Imax other than it's so crazy loud.
(02:29):
I thought I was. I thought I was deaf before.
I do hate that, definitely deaf.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You know, the size of the screen being much larger.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Really, all the movie screens look big to me.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So at least you went in those comfy chairs.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, that ruled. And I actually didn't fall asleep during
Wicked for Good, which is centered around Glinda and Alphabus.
So Glinda is the good Witch and she don't know
I'm telling this who don't know you just shut up.
I don't know a good witch. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
All the dorks in the room calmed down and calmed
down and let the non psycho understand what the hell is.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Glinda is the good witch played by Ariana Grande, who
is so skinny, she's so lucky yea. And Alphaba is
the misunderstood green one who is considered the Wicked Witch,
but in reality she's actually a really good person. Now
at this point, Glinda has risen to power. She's real popular,
She's totally loved by everybody. Alphaba is hated and Oz
(03:32):
actually wants her dead. And these two were friends. They've
kind of drifted apart because Ariana Grande is just drunk
with popularity and like the tin man getting a heart
in The Wizard of Oz. I didn't love Wicked for good,
but I did not hate it. If like and hate
(03:52):
were a scale, it would tip ever so slightly in
the like direction. Really was the music like broke in up?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It was more broken up. The music was more talkie
than singing. There's a lot of mixtures of talking with singing.
The lyrics were ridiculous. We'll get to that in a second.
But the couple things I did like about it. There
were more allusions made to the Wizard of Oz, like
you see the building of the Yellow Brick Road. There's
a lot of animal justice in the movie, because animals
(04:21):
are hated in this version of Oz, but they get
some revenge. There's gonna be a lot of spoilers here
if you're not familiar with Wicked. All right, there's more
actual dialogue like you mentioned in Menace, it's darker in theme.
It's a good story about two friends who drift apart
and they lead separate lives. I also liked the start
of tin Man. You kind of see the origin of
the tin Man. I like how the Wizard was a
(04:43):
total con man. He's like a villain. You think he's
the hero and the Wizard of Oz. He's a bad dude.
I forget, Greg, Did you like the Wizard of Oz? Yes? Overall? Okay,
so maybe that's what Maybe because there's.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
More of Oz life, Yeah, tin Man and Lion and
the other So maybe that was what.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Exactly, because I actually know about the Wizard of Oz.
When I saw Wicked the first one, I thought, what
the hell is this? I don't get any of it.
This is way more Wizard of Oz like, and Dorothy
in this one actually makes a cameo. So that's what
I liked about this movie. You kind of feel like, oh,
I'm watching behind the scenes. You see Dorothy. It's not
Judy Garland. It's just you only see it from behind walking,
(05:24):
And it kind of explains a lot of that stuff. Uh,
and you see more about the flying monkeys, which I
think are pretty bad ass. They're cool.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I saw a couple of things about like, uh, how
they had to make the yellow Brick Road look a
little different. They couldn't because of all the copywriter trademark.
I don't know how they yeah whatever, the intellectual property
of the original film of the Road. Yeah, they can't
show Dorothy's face. They did not allowed to do that.
They can't. The pattern of the brick had to be different,
like idea they were. Trust me, I live with a wicked,
(05:55):
obsessed freak. We original Wizard of.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oz right bomb, I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, but who owns it down?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, he's nuclear dead, But who owns the right like
what the studio or.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whoever was the Lollipop Guild in there? No, And then
that's the thing that I didn't understand they refer to
munchkins like they do in the Wizard of Us. They're
not small. They don't don't do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
In the New snow White, they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Because there's this one character. His name is Bach, and
I think in real life he used to date Ariana.
Dude is weird looking af That's why beauty models now
are no longer beautiful. It's not allowed skinny hot people
like Bach goes to the train station. He can't take
a ride because they've forbidden munchkins from taking this train.
And I thought he's a munchkin.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They pretty much changed to like munchkins means redheads.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It made no sense. So there's a few things I
did like about it. The things I didn't like about
it a lot of it. But the acting completely subpar.
This was high school theater at bad. You would think
a massive budget movie, a massive money earner would have
this insanely amazing acting. Totally subpar. This is like rookie acting.
(07:10):
The singing was a mix of talking and singing. Like
I mentioned, harrendous lyrics, especially in one of the first
songs that Glinda sings. It's called thank Goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
One of the lyrics, WOULDI I issue not? It comes
a little bit later in the song, but one of
the lyrics is a little well complicated. There's kind of
a sort of cost. There's a couple of things get lost.
There are bridges you cross, you didn't know you crossed.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Until you've crossed.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Garbage cross, there are bridges you cross, you didn't know
you crossed until you've crossed. Hew moronic is that.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I dug a little bit into it, and they said
that Wizard of Oz is own by Warner Brothers Pictures,
and Universal is the one that put out this movie.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, so yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
That's why there's some copyright thing. But the book that
it's based on is public domain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't know where This lyric is very end at the.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Very end, towards the very end, it's so baddies true,
very very very very end. The lyrics before that, I'm
giving up on them. We're not enough, right, terrible. There
are bridges you cross, you don't know you cross until
(08:37):
you've crossed.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't know what stone or five year old wrote
those lyrics. I liked how the wedding between Glinda and
Fierro got totally ruined. That was good because it was
like anti fairy tale. I hated how quickly this Fierro
guy went from loving Glinda to loving Alphaba out of nowhere.
It was a fast turn of events. I thought that
was dumb. There was a borderline sex scene, which I
(08:59):
found very People thought this was very salacious. Yeah, between
this guy Fierro and Alphaba, it was suggestive. It wasn't
a sex scene, but it was very suggestive. And I
liked how Fierro told Alphaba that she's beautiful and she
thought he was lying, and he said, I'm just seeing
things in a different way. I thought that was very
awe babe. Now back to the music in the end.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But sorry, how pissed would you be if a guy
said you're beautiful because I'm seeing things in a different way.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, that's not such an So then in the end,
Glinda and Alphaba they have a total renaissance. They realize
they love each other again. They are just so in
love with their friendship, but they have to say goodbye.
And their final goodbye song I believe it's called Oh,
(09:45):
I don't even know what it's called for good thank
you Gina, and I actually liked that song. I thought
it was touching. Some of the lyrics were good. But
major spoiler alert, Gina, you'll already know this because it
happened in the play and in the movie. You think
Alphaba died and it would have ruled because I was
kind of bummed. I'm like, wow, this is kind of
(10:07):
sad Alphabet died. Glinda goes to where her hat is
on the floor, and you're thinking like, oh, damn, that's
pretty sad. But no, Alphabet went into a trap door.
She didn't die. She goes off with Fierro, who becomes
the scarecrow. Yeah, because he got all beaten up in
(10:28):
this field, beaten near to death. And then I guess the.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
SS like, don't let him die, don't let him bleed
mad scare.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Made him into a scarecrow. So his face looks all
weird and it's got like Nash and straw. He's still hot.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, you think Jonathan Bailey is not your guy, I
don't think not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But overall, with the exception of these insanely stupid lyrics.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I think I think I found them before you grag. Oh, yeah,
because I pulled up on Spotify, you know, and go
right to the lyrics.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
Good straight and it seems a little well, that's it complicated.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
There's a consort cost, there's a.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Couple of things, kid.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Lost, there are bridges.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You cross, you didn't know you're cross. Tell your girls.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Is there is worse lyrics. It's not a story of
mankind stupid. I would be you crossed if I was
already on a grande.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I was.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
No, I am not saying it right. She did a
great job with it for that being a lyric.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, but do you know why you shouldn't have been
quote unquote surprised that she didn't die at the end.
Why because in the song and the song that you hate,
the thank Goodness, they say like everyone.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Thinks pure water will melt her.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
People are so empty headed, don't believe anything, and that's
what they can the idea.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, I didn't read into it that much neat and
I couldn't take notes during a movie, obviously, but I
remembered that lyric and I told myself, don't forget this lyrics.
It's so dumb. But overall, on a scale of five
five yellow bricks, I'm giving wicked for good three yellow brick.
(12:23):
Not horrific, not great, yellow bricks. All right, Well, you
know what, I am surprised, and I didn't fall asleep.
That's a big deal. More action.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, I gotta tell you your review of it. Overall,
I'm not gonna watch it, but I'm leaning more toward
maybe i'd watch it. I'm not gonna watch it, yeah, yeah,
but I'm now leaning more toward maybe I would.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It wouldn't be the torture you expected it to be.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, if you get stuck on a plane and there's
nothing else, all the other movies got deleted.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think I just raw dogged the first one you would. Yeah, Nuclear, I'm.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Never gonna see that. Yeah. All right, Well, thank you, Greg.
Sorry to spoil the ending for everybody. The real fans
have seen it nine times.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Great Now we were we were surprised with Greg Gory's
review of Wicked too. Yeah, didn't hate it, didn't hate
didn't love it, didn't love it, love it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I mean I thought it was gonna be just a
pure hatred. Didn't destroy it, way better than the first roe. Now,
will we be.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Just as surprised when Sea Bass tells us, because you
know we've We've mentioned a couple of times already on
the show. We played you a couple of clips already,
but see bats went and watched the whole thing, and
we're gonna get his review here real quick. On Sebastian
Maniscalco's Netflix Yeah, sorry, Tulu on Hulu Beware called it
(13:52):
ain't right.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
And first off, he comes out, he's playing this to
a sold out packed United Center in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And because that's where he's from.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
If you can't tell how he fake talks like this,
he comes out with a sm Sebastian Manascalco like like
puffy uh greaser jacket from the Greaser Jacket, Pink Lady's
jacket from Greece. On the back it says it ate right,
so you're not confused about what's going on. That's he's
got his name on his jacket. He's got the title
of the special in his back. It was taped over
(14:23):
a year ago, so there's a lot of like Olympics references.
You're like, wait, what, Oh, that's why he's talking about that.
I mean the Olympics are coming back around again. Yeah,
I mean not summer, but but a.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Year to release. Yeah, that was strange.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Straight, he was professionally shot, obviously, here's a clip. He's
talking about kids and going to parties and stuff and
how other people's children are sometimes rude.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Right, and these kids today they have no problem talking
to adults. Growing up, I was scared of other adults.
These kids, they come right up to you and rude.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Eight years old, The kids like, where's my burger?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I'm like, hey, get.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
There's no call for that kind of language. Luddy, vulgar
and abusive language. That's an automatic disconnect. You've got a
dirty horrors mouth. Is classic Sea Bess. This is classic.
I'll admit at this point that is classic Sea Bess. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
So the point is he tells the burger or he
tells the kid too, I get the f out of here,
and I don't like your parents either, which didn't happen
number one.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
But number two is not a joke. Like if a
roode kick, if a kid is up to you.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And you're you know, you're you're manning the grill at
a party, he says, oh, where's my burger? And you
would never get the f out of here? Kid?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Right, that's not just the reason they're there, and that
you're right, there's right again, but he like, but he
does it all with this breathing the voice. So it's
that kind of theme.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Follows he talks about going he's an old man now
he's in his fifties. He's going to the doctor and
h his description again, find the joke here.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
This is this is what he waits. He sits on
this line his description of a doctor visit. So I'm
going to the doctor and it's weird.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Come out and they asked you to come in. They
say your name is Sebastian.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Okay, I always go the wrong way. It's like, I know,
that's why. No, I'm that I got my margaret. What
are you laughing at? And then you come in? I
relate to that, you guys, And he's just and he's
the movement.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
He's kind of like puttering around the stage like like
he's lost laughing.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But that's not funny.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
By the way, you don't have to feel bad for Sago.
The guy's making a billion dollars so much. The guy's
cleaning up. And I do realize that comedy is subjective, right,
So you know, we get people a time. Oh, you
guys like Joe Cooy and you guys like you and
like all these different people, you know, Yeah, Okay that
what you just brought there is what I became I
(16:49):
rate at watching the Sebastian Manscalco Special is I'm no
longer met at him.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I'm mad at the crowd.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I am discouraging it because what they're laughing at is
a cartoon character.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Especially in that example right there, he says, they come
out and they say Sebastian and they cracked up.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
And what he's doing is he doesn't have jokes per se.
So he's what he's doing is he's selling the hell
out of it with the cartoon voice and the silly
little walk.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well we did it when we talked about like, uh,
you know that that clip that we had, uh where
they were talking about like couples watching TV together, and
like he didn't he didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Like oh have you same blah blah, and people are
freaking out the jdn't He didn't. Yeah, he didn't say anything.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
It's people are laughing at stuff you laugh at when
you're a five year old, which is funny voices and
silly walks.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, here he is.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I have another I was there's a big chunk about
him and his wife and watching TV together.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Again, this is a him and his wife. See if
you can find the joke in this? All right?
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Now, my wife and I can't agree on what to
watch at the end of the long day. I want
to watch something that has like some like a gun
or like an equalizer. Benzel Washington, Oh, yeah, what's going
on here?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That's what I want to see. She's like, you want
to watch.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Love is Mind?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, I would love to watch Love is Wind fifty
one years old.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't think so big, all.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Right, all right, because men be watching this type of
thing and women be watching.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
That, and I thought to myself, like it should be menace. Yeah,
I watch watching I'm all right, Like this is the
kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
We would say that you'd have this conversation like here
in the studio about whatever topic, but we don't expect
it to be like I would ever write that down.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Oh that's gold. Can you not get a writer to
make a punchline with you? Punch that up? I think
he could there be a joke in there, of course,
of course there could be.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
He could go into like have an angle on it
about love is blind or about the equalizer. But I said,
it's just my wife like this, and I like that
but the future is all right, Uh, here's something that
is technically a joke.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So so far, I haven't heard anything I think that
Sea Best would like. And I'm also getting the vibe
from Sea Best. And he wasn't really himself all that much.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Hold on, just real quick.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
You said he could get something to punch it up
or give him a punchline, but he obviously doesn't need.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Yeah, he's learned to do this this technique that's just awful.
And here's technically a joke. He's again, this is taped
last year. So he's talking about the Paralympics and this
amazing swimmer he saw.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, do you want to feel lazy about yourself?
Watch the para Olympics. I was watching swimming. Guy had
no legs and no arms. It's kind of what you
need to do the sport. Okay, that's that's a kind
of a joke, right yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Now I'm sitting there in my underwear eight and popcorn.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Watch him a guy swim with his eyelashes. All right,
that's okay, those are technically jokes.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, but again, is that worth an arena of people laughing? No?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Like if I if we wrote that here in the studio.
It'd be like, oh okay, yeah, that wouldn't be like,
let's take this on the road. I mean fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
He could have gone somewhere with it, I guess, like
the beginning of the build of it, like and then it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Pays off with you cut it off.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
No, no, that's it laughing put in the effort, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
But that's like menace could have no offense, could have
written that joke. Yeah, what's like if you talked about it?
What's he swimming with his eyelashes? Yeah, okay, that's cute,
that's funny. But like that's that whole thing. Okay, so
let's let's end this up. This is the end it ate, right, okay?
On Hulusabash and Meniscalka. In fact, we don't have to
watch it because we alreadykind of a yeah yeah, and
again I said, I'm sorry, mister Maniscalco, but I'm gonna
blow your big closer. This is the the end bit.
(20:25):
He has this whole like ten minutes about going to
Universal Studios with his kids, and he talks about this
weirdo guy who sat down next to him at some
point Universal Studios, and what's wrong with this guy that
sat next to him, all.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Right, three daughters, a wife, he's in his mid forties.
Starts talking to me. He's right in at me, right
right in, like we came to the park together.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Starts talking. He's like, what time does what time does
this start? This guy's got no pe.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No pe no.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
All I'm saying is prioritize your life.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You don't go are you universal?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And then he did, teeth, you get the.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Cost as much as to take it. God, bless your
I love you, thank you for coming to Okay. I
kind of like that. Yeah, that's kind of dire. Yeah,
let's prioritize. Agree with the s of it, but believable.
And then when he and then he says, what does
(21:33):
you start? Like, yep, because people come on the big
laugh line there was he said teeth and a funny voice. Yeah,
and it works for him. Some of the guy on
s n L who impreciated him was funnier. That guy,
which yeah, check it out. Yeah that bit kids, kids
keeps getting passed around.
Speaker 5 (21:51):

Kind of like Adam Ray going around is doctor Phil Yeah,
that'd be funny if he went around.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Doing got paid to see that somebody on the text.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Really interesting, it'd be you never get him on record
saying it. I wonder what other comedians think.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
About they would have crapped on fifteen years ago. But
now that he is one of the quote unquote illuminati again,
I think he was the highest grossing comedian a couple
of years ago. Yeah, now that he's a big name
that they don't want.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
To do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, And I've heard from people who have dealt with
him personally that he's a dick. So that's why I
don't feel bad about Honestly, I don't feel like the
word on him is that he started very stalt to
the earth, very cool, very whatever, and then overtime, as
he's gotten more popular, he's become a real prick.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
And he ended he ended the special by what follows him?
You know, he's walking backstage at the United Center and
he's back there, but his kids daddy did.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
But there's a camera waiting right there for him. Of course, Jack,
guess I want to scale of one to five diapers
that you need to because you're peeing so much from laughing.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yes, A comedian from laughing one now. But as a
committ and he's a he's a solid three, like he
knows how to do comedy. But he doesn't again as
we've just heard, doesn't do jokes negative five because I
hate the audience so much.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Right, so, you're but you give a whole special out
of out of five diapers, you're giving it a half
a diaper a half?
