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

Life of Brian (with Trevor McMahan, Sharon Johnson, and Susan Lambert Hatem)
Everyone's at maximum freakout in the leadup to World Happiness Dance, whatever that is, and nobody can figure out who's going with who -- especially with the addition of two new students, Delia and Cory, shaking up the social circles. Adding to the confusion: We're getting Brian's inner monologue instead of Angela's! What's going on???? And why is Graham so determined to wallpaper the bedroom instead of dealing with those cooking classes?
Helping me break it all down is Trevor McMahan from the YouTube channel Media Processing; as well as Sharon Johnson and Susan Lambert Hatem from the podcast 80s TV Ladies. Then James and I reflect on our own high school dance debacles, and reveal the SHOCKING resolution of last week's Kate-or-Cake mystery.
Also: We'll be taking a two-week break from posting new episodes while I travel to Toronto for Pride (join me at the Toronto Public Library on June 12!) and we'll be back with regular episodes on June 17.
