Stepping out of the wood, out of the dark, out of the night, the so-cast pod is back for a chat about the surprising parallels between Wicked and My So-Called Life! Sure, Winnie Holzman is one of the main writers behind both projects, so it makes sense that they'd have some things in common -- and we go deep on all of it, from the costumes to the music to the original novel.
Guests this week: Costumer Samantha Rei; Scottish comedian Scott Pirie, and media historian Terrence Moss. Plus, from the Sewers of Paris archives, my 2019 interview with Gregory Maguire -- the author of the novel on which the musical Wicked is based! And then James and I share some of our own Ozian experiences.
Also, here's a link to the Wicked video that Samantha Rei mentioned in our conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd7bOTZCYT4

Angela is DEFINITELY over Jordan this week, honest, swear to God. Except then she discovers that he can barely read, and decides it's her mission to help him... which conveniently provides a reason to ask him out on a date. (To see a movie with subtitles. Good thinking, Angela.) Meanwhile, Graham and Patty discover they might or might not be pregnant, and grapple with the implications of Schrodinger's zygote. And as if this show didn't have enough doomed crushes, Danielle decides she's got eyes for Brian Krakow.
Helping me make sense of it all this week is my guest Liz Krott -- a television postproduction producer and mother of actual teenagers! And also one of me and James' closest friends since we were teenagers ourselves.
