I think people often forget that Ariana Grande started out acting before she became a popstar lol. She was in Victorious, Scream Queens, Sam and Cat, etc. comedy isn't something new for her tbh.
@@sonicsnake44 she started off in broadway and elizabeth gillies (who plays jade in victorious) was in the play thirteen with her so they already knew each other!
Korey having a disagreement with Martin for audience singing 🎶 while he’s dressed as the Witch with green makeup and black hands is too hilarious 😂 I can’t take him seriously but adorable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: Ariana Grande intentionally didn’t learn Cynthia Erivo’s steps so she could connect and be lead by her-allow for the scene to be truly authentic. These two women have perfect chemistry with each other.
Elphaba is just on the wrong planet. Elphaba: Go to wherever Gamora is from and you’ll be considered a hottie. Moral of the story: you don’t have to change you, change your environment.
This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, Korey erased Cynthia Erivo from the thumbnail and put himself in it. None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades her. It degrades us. She is a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes. The thumbnail is an homage not an imitation, to edit her face and hide her eyes is to erase her. And that is just deeply hurtful... 😉
Saw this last night with my girlfriend. I was dressed in all black and she was dressed in all green. She got so many compliments from other girls at the theater. It was a nice experience.
There’s already theaters putting up signs telling people not to singalong during the movie, and that supposedly there’s gonna be a singalong subtitled version coming out next month.
Makes sense because as much as I want die hard fans to enjoy their experience, even if it's by singing along, it's incredibly annoying when you go to experience something for yourself and then other people feel entitled to take that away from people trying to absorb it in their own way. I have adhd so it's very hard to find movies that actually grab my full attention for long periods of time. This movie is 2hrs30min and I was into it the whole time. Saw it in 3d and dbox seats ($30/ticket) and I was absolutely blown away. I got to experience this movie fully immersed WITHOUT people singing thankfully and I'm so grateful for that.
@@Delboy0 a lot of Latinos look like that NYC. The main problem is that they omitted a storyline that talks about the anti-blackness that exists within the Latino community that was present in the original. That's why Benny and Nina's little love story was so controversial to her parents
I was very skeptical about Ariana Grande as Glinda (yeah I know she can sing and I enjoyed her Nickelodeon stuff, but wasn't still sure that she has the charm and personality for Glinda) but as I saw the movie last night, f*ck it, give her an Oscar now!!! 🏆🏆🏆 🙌
It's faulty to say that Shiz University as detailed in the book Wicked, first released in 1995, was a copy of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter canon, which came out in 1997...Surely similarities do abound considering the supernatural contexts contained in both works.
You mentioned wicked possibly copied Harry Potter. I just did a google search and the wicked book came out in 1995, two years before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Yeah, I also feel like they did a wicked movie before. I am not sure. I do know that the musical has been selling out shows for like 20 years. I read the book back in the nineties.
"You can see it as a political allegory, but you can also just see it as a Wizard Of Oz story." Well, the original novel apparently was a political allegory, so it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other here ;-)
I'll forever be mad they cast her and not an unknown Tisch grad who's vocally trained. But not as mad as I am that they didn't do the Broadway version and wrote horrid new songs
THANK YOU Korey for acknowledging that Wicked did the "that's how they got their *insert item here*" first - I'd argue they really did do this first and all of the remakes/prequels took notes from this play. They wove it all throughout (so many things come to light in ACT 2, so they're not even in this movie yet), it's actually a big part of the play for multiple characters - not just random items - and to me at least it makes sense. It's like Alien - you watch it now and it's just ALL the tropes...but it's the one movie that originally did the things that became tropes.
As someone who LOVES singing along to musicals, SAVE IT FOR THE SING-ALONGS! The screenings to sing will happen later, do not alienate other movie goers! We want them to watch more musicals and make them money, singing during the movie won't help! I want everyone to enjoy it when they go!
Look she has admitted that she has been influenced by other stories. Plus, she did an interview years ago where she talked about her story being rewritten due to the publisher not liking it. It was the assistant who saved the book and fought for in the office.
The book was dark I mean the reason why shes green is because her mom was "ra*ped" by the dragon or something lol. I wish this was going to open up a OZ universe rather than following a play or something. I will just watch Return to Oz. That has the actual villain of the series
@@jp3813 Yeah but both Schwarzenegger and Stallone have been bad in some movies though. Even in the most mediocre crap, Goldblum is a welcome presence.

Preach! They have already advertised that there will be Sing Along showings starting at Christmas. Those are the shows to go sing out loud. At the regular showings laugh out loud, clap some, and then shut up.
Hum if you must, say it along with it very under much under your breath, but for gods sake *_WAIT_* for the sing-a-long screenings in December! It’s not going to be a long wait!
I'm not a musical fan but what I do love about musicals like Wicked is that you can tell that all the dancers are having a very, very fun time, and that seeps through the screen.
The stage musical for the theater nerds and the privileged, but the movie is just as much for everybody else. And they deserve to listen to the music and take everything in uinterrupted.
I don't like this trend of movies not being advertised as an incomplete story. I had no idea this was a part 1 until the opening credits. Even then it was fine print. Just let people know ahead of time to expect to see "To Be Continued".
Same part 2 was my favorite part of the stage musical. And because they split it into, I really hope they go more in depth with the social political aspects and the darker tone, similar to the book
I'm with Martin. That's like expecting to go to a MCU flick and not have people lose their shit when they see a cameo of a character they love. If you really just want to watch the movie without interruption u either go during a screening where there is lil people or wait till it hit streaming. I get it. You want to enjoy the movie but lets be realistic. U know the fans of the broadway show will show up to watch this. And probably would sing along. Thanks for vid!
I will warn you as someone who has seen the Broadway musical and also read the book, the book is not the same as the musical. The ending is completely different in the book and not as good.
Seconding this, the book is heavily PG-13, maybe rated R at some points. If my parents had known when I was sixteen they probably wouldn't have let me read it😂
Korey killed it with the Witch/Elphaba cosplay. Besides that, I can't wait to see the film. I only knew the songs Popular & Defying Gravity and hearing the positive reviews dies have me curious to watch the movie, & read the book
God their jobs look like so much fun. Getting to see movies early, getting to just sit and laugh with their friends. I'm out here watching this just to distract from my miserable job lol
That is a very naive view of what they do. They are not professional movie critics, but you will be singing a different tune if you have to see 30 or 60 other bad movies just to get one or two good movies.
@@brianng8350 Siskel & Ebert said that they had one of the best jobs ever, but it can be rough at times when they feel that a movie is wasting their life.
I love the musical and I'm happy to hear the movie is doing well!! I look forward to see Jonathon Bailey as Fiyero and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard! And Michelle Yeoh and Peter Dinklage 😂
In honor of Jeff Goldblum. I suggest a Retro/Bad movie review of: Transylvania 6-5000 One of my all time favorite comedies. Would be a absolute dream to hear you guys' hilarious commentary on it. Please
It would be funny if Korey dressed up as Dorothy and Pixie would be Toto. But then again, you don’t wanna give people nightmares so skinny Shrek with a big hat will do 😆
I hate the Wizard of Oz but the Wicked musical and now the film as a disabled person Wicked moved me and spoke to me making me cry so fuck off back over the rainbow Dorothy and leave ToTo I'm certain he can find a more stable home
Fair warning!! The book is VERY DIFFERENT to the point where it’s basically its own thing. I would recommend reading a wiki summary or video essay instead if you want spoilers!
To the credit of Wicked itself, it really reinvented stage plays and a lot of the tropes still used today came from Wicked. It’s all a matter of how to outdo yourself at a certain point.
ANY fans of wicked and the theater should know AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE! Which means no singing/talking while watching a performance. It’s considered incredibly disrespectful to the actors who work hard so that THEIR performance is the main focus not some rando in the crowd who was fork #3 in Beauty and the beast in high school. Them being “excited for it” is no good reason to start singing in the theater. Korey is 100% right on this!
Speaking of singers who can act instead of actors who can sing, that was my one complaint about the casting. It was a minor complaint, but Jeff Goldbloom doesn't sing at anywhere close to the level of his scene partners. If they wanted star power, Hugh Jackman would have been a better choice. Goldbloom's a great actor for the role, but his singing voice is mediocre.
When I went to see it, I was fortunate enough to have nobody singing while the movie was going. Unfortunately, there were a bunch of teenagers screeching the Defying Gravity riff ( not singing , literally just screaming it) over and over again in the theater hallway when it was done. 😣
31:41 Singing during the movie from the fans is gonna be awful. Its no different than talking through a movie only the people are most likely tone deaf and singing off key. An anime movie you know kids are gonna go crazy because their kids. But grown adults trying to sing every word ruining someone’s movie experience is not cool. I don’t care how much of a super fan you are and read the book, saw the play 12 times….be silent in that theatre 😂😂
It's weird though....people see Wicked all the time onstage and they don't sing a long....even when they already know the show. I guess movie theaters enable people to have more audacity and less respect
@@CrocusSeal People do sing along at the stage show. Grown adults. Even at Hamilton, these popular musicals have a lot of people attending who don't know theater etiquette.
I think my town is pretty chill about it. There's no signs put up about it and people just don't sing during the movies. They dance alittle but at the stage shows and the silver screen, we just don't do that.
I'm in the same boat. The poster thing I know she apologized for but the way she talked about the two other actresses that auditioned for Glenda? That was uncalled for. But! I love Wicked and I'm going to do my best and see Elphaba instead of her lol
The performances of the witch and Galinda was OSCAR WORTHY and I'm not about musicals. Never saw Wicked, but the transition from Broadway to the big screen was great. Never saw Ariana on screen, she really did kill it
Just watched this movie. It was great. I didn't even think of the Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow getting an origin story themselves. It was hinted at, that the prince guy will eventually be scarecrow, the redhead guy that liked Galinda will be Tin Man and the Lion will just be one of the animals escaping capture in later films.
Hell no Martin, you don't sing at the theatre or the cinema. You pull that at the theatre and people will hate you for doing it. People paid for the professionals, man.
I think she got mad at the fan art because she immediately thought they OJ'ed her with the dark shadowing and got understandably reactionary thinking it was another racist hate-campaign attack like that of John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran getting bullied by racist Star Wars fanboys.
That sub plot really comes back in a big way in the second half. The 11 o clock hour song of the musical is the REAL moment and I can't wait to see how it unfolds on the big screen.
Every single movie that has ever been made is political and every concept of good vs evil is the battle of one concept vs another concept. A movie being political doesn't mean jack squat. The quality of the movie around it's message is what will always matter and whether or not it entertains you and you have a good time. When the quality of the movie is good, that is all that matters. Even if you think the only non-politcal movies are those black and white 'artpiece' movies that show an egg on a skillet for 10 minutes and then the movie ending. But if you ask the people that make those movies they will give you a 30 minute diatribe about the deeper meanings behind it. So yeah, even those movies. What matters is two things 1) Is the movie good? 2) Does it entertain you? That's it.
Ariana grande was on a teens/kids show that us 2000s babies grew up with. Her being a big singer out of no where was a huge twist even tho she could sing well on the show
The movie was honestly so amazing that I kinda' empathize with Cynthia Erivo as too why she got mad about that fan poster. When you're so incredibly invested in a character that they become a part of you, sometimes you can get emotional about a character in such a way. And she got really emotional about this role. She connects with it. I still think she got mad over nothing, but I can see WHY she got mad. Plus it also helps that she absolutely killed it as Elphaba.
Y’all know it’s common for adults of any age to be in college right? 30s is still young and it’s very common for people to be in college in their 30s, either advancing their career or starting a new one. I’m just confused by Martin’s statement.
Loved the review/especially being new to the material !CAUTION!:the book is *ALOT* darker than the Broadway show. just know the stage play is not as faithful to the book, as the movie was to the play. (Ie. Dear parents, Definitely vet it 1st before gifting to children for Christmas 🥴) But since waiting a year sucks, and the play is expensive; I hope anyone else new to the material gets their part 2 ending however it floats their boat best ❤ don’t let me caution keep u from reading away :) First time viewer/ new subscriber :) great convo guys! (And even better makeup 😅)

@@Emily-sz3hbyep, much darker, much grimmer, more politics, less love story. It's not a fun read.

"You're green!"
"I am... OH SHIT, WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? GET IT OFF!"
Fair warning, Korey. The play (and films) BARELY follow the books. It takes more of the concept than anything else.

Book is much sadder, more political, more tragic. It's exhausting tbh.
I just started the series and it's different than I expected for sure.
Korey killed it with the Witch/Elphaba cosplay.
Besides that, I can't wait to see the film. I only knew the songs Popular & Defying Gravity and hearing the positive reviews dies have me curious to watch the movie, & read the book
God their jobs look like so much fun. Getting to see movies early, getting to just sit and laugh with their friends. I'm out here watching this just to distract from my miserable job lol
Yeah life sucks lol
That is a very naive view of what they do. They are not professional movie critics, but you will be singing a different tune if you have to see 30 or 60 other bad movies just to get one or two good movies.
Still better than the avg 9-5@brianng8350
@@brianng8350 Siskel & Ebert said that they had one of the best jobs ever, but it can be rough at times when they feel that a movie is wasting their life.
Really? You know how many friends and relationships Korey and Martin have lost as a result of this job?
It’s not all fun and games.
I love the musical and I'm happy to hear the movie is doing well!! I look forward to see Jonathon Bailey as Fiyero and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard! And Michelle Yeoh and Peter Dinklage 😂
AYO THE GREENFACE
No lie , I was laughing so hard at the thumbnail that it took me 5min to hit play.
In honor of Jeff Goldblum. I suggest a Retro/Bad movie review of: Transylvania 6-5000
One of my all time favorite comedies. Would be a absolute dream to hear you guys' hilarious commentary on it. Please
It would be funny if Korey dressed up as Dorothy and Pixie would be Toto. But then again, you don’t wanna give people nightmares so skinny Shrek with a big hat will do 😆
I hate the Wizard of Oz but the Wicked musical and now the film as a disabled person Wicked moved me and spoke to me making me cry so fuck off back over the rainbow Dorothy and leave ToTo I'm certain he can find a more stable home
Might watch this movie in the hood aint no one gunna be singing 😂
Right I was like who in the world knows all the songs 😂
@@MissN77 I am 85% positive there are gays in the hood who know defying gravity by heart, especially in NYC
@@juliannehannes11 I believe it
@@MissN77You'd be surprised.
You’re in for a surprise then lol
Fair warning!! The book is VERY DIFFERENT to the point where it’s basically its own thing. I would recommend reading a wiki summary or video essay instead if you want spoilers!
To the credit of Wicked itself, it really reinvented stage plays and a lot of the tropes still used today came from Wicked.
It’s all a matter of how to outdo yourself at a certain point.
I'm glad Cynthia Erivo is getting her moment to shine. She's a huge talent.

tamar have you ever seen the show
I agree, I HATE audience members singing, it makes me feral, I didn't pay to hear them
im hearing really good things about this
WOKEEE

ANY fans of wicked and the theater should know AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE! Which means no singing/talking while watching a performance. It’s considered incredibly disrespectful to the actors who work hard so that THEIR performance is the main focus not some rando in the crowd who was fork #3 in Beauty and the beast in high school. Them being “excited for it” is no good reason to start singing in the theater. Korey is 100% right on this!
"I'll get you my pretty! And your little soul too!"- Freddy Krueger
30:59 the look on Korey's face is like "well I'll fly myself out then, gee wiz Martin"
What’s the point of Julien being there if he doesnt see the movies with you guys?
He kind of throws the vibe off sometimes
@ right! My thing is Chris Herman and others used to add commentary he just sits there and laughs most the time!
He brings nothing to the discussion.
Speaking of singers who can act instead of actors who can sing, that was my one complaint about the casting. It was a minor complaint, but Jeff Goldbloom doesn't sing at anywhere close to the level of his scene partners. If they wanted star power, Hugh Jackman would have been a better choice. Goldbloom's a great actor for the role, but his singing voice is mediocre.
When I went to see it, I was fortunate enough to have nobody singing while the movie was going.
Unfortunately, there were a bunch of teenagers screeching the Defying Gravity riff ( not singing , literally just screaming it) over and over again in the theater hallway when it was done. 😣
Korey looking like shrek after taking a shower
WICKED is essentially FANFIC 😂
THE FULL INTRO BABY! Now the Makeup makes Sense🤣
31:41 Singing during the movie from the fans is gonna be awful. Its no different than talking through a movie only the people are most likely tone deaf and singing off key.
An anime movie you know kids are gonna go crazy because their kids. But grown adults trying to sing every word ruining someone’s movie experience is not cool. I don’t care how much of a super fan you are and read the book, saw the play 12 times….be silent in that theatre 😂😂
It's weird though....people see Wicked all the time onstage and they don't sing a long....even when they already know the show. I guess movie theaters enable people to have more audacity and less respect
@@CrocusSeal People do sing along at the stage show. Grown adults. Even at Hamilton, these popular musicals have a lot of people attending who don't know theater etiquette.
I think my town is pretty chill about it. There's no signs put up about it and people just don't sing during the movies. They dance alittle but at the stage shows and the silver screen, we just don't do that.
@ I ended up seeing the movie and no one sang. But I do purposely go to a theatre where they WILL put you out for being loud.
I cant wait to see it. But after Cynthia's rant about the poster, i cant unsee that personality in the trailer lol
Yeah she really overreacted to the poster edits in my opinion.
Elphaba looks old as hell, it's crazy
She apologised for overreacting and said she probably should have called a friend
People make mistakes all the time
@@shippendales8543 she's just a diva being a diva. there are worst people in the movies all the time
I'm in the same boat. The poster thing I know she apologized for but the way she talked about the two other actresses that auditioned for Glenda? That was uncalled for. But! I love Wicked and I'm going to do my best and see Elphaba instead of her lol
The performances of the witch and Galinda was OSCAR WORTHY and I'm not about musicals. Never saw Wicked, but the transition from Broadway to the big screen was great. Never saw Ariana on screen, she really did kill it
I saw it on stage in NYC, I didn’t realize that a defying gravity was a song and it definitely gave me goosebumps. I also read the book afterwards.
The answer you are looking for is Adele Dazeem. Him messing up her name is my favorite clip of John Travolta 😂
Just watched this movie. It was great. I didn't even think of the Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow getting an origin story themselves. It was hinted at, that the prince guy will eventually be scarecrow, the redhead guy that liked Galinda will be Tin Man and the Lion will just be one of the animals escaping capture in later films.
I’m offended that Cory is doing Green Face, such racism 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hell no Martin, you don't sing at the theatre or the cinema. You pull that at the theatre and people will hate you for doing it.
People paid for the professionals, man.
I think she got mad at the fan art because she immediately thought they OJ'ed her with the dark shadowing and got understandably reactionary thinking it was another racist hate-campaign attack like that of John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran getting bullied by racist Star Wars fanboys.
That sub plot really comes back in a big way in the second half. The 11 o clock hour song of the musical is the REAL moment and I can't wait to see how it unfolds on the big screen.
I think Martin is going to change his mind on prequels when he see's how we get Scarecrow
Every single movie that has ever been made is political and every concept of good vs evil is the battle of one concept vs another concept. A movie being political doesn't mean jack squat. The quality of the movie around it's message is what will always matter and whether or not it entertains you and you have a good time. When the quality of the movie is good, that is all that matters. Even if you think the only non-politcal movies are those black and white 'artpiece' movies that show an egg on a skillet for 10 minutes and then the movie ending. But if you ask the people that make those movies they will give you a 30 minute diatribe about the deeper meanings behind it. So yeah, even those movies. What matters is two things
1) Is the movie good?
2) Does it entertain you?
That's it.

Smart people: Wicked totally copied Maleficent. Potter too!
No just NO
Literally haha I had to Google the first HP book was 1997
Ariana grande was on a teens/kids show that us 2000s babies grew up with. Her being a big singer out of no where was a huge twist even tho she could sing well on the show
Wizard of Oz was always on TNT, Charlie Brown on ABC and Rudolph on CBS every December
Yup😊
I was a blubbering mess for the second half of the movie, Korey would have hated sitting next to me.😂
The movie was honestly so amazing that I kinda' empathize with Cynthia Erivo as too why she got mad about that fan poster. When you're so incredibly invested in a character that they become a part of you, sometimes you can get emotional about a character in such a way. And she got really emotional about this role. She connects with it. I still think she got mad over nothing, but I can see WHY she got mad. Plus it also helps that she absolutely killed it as Elphaba.
This movie is going to be so popular
With theater kids & women.
@@bigpictureguys8415 everyone. Check all of the grown men who enjoyed who generally dislike musicals.
It's determined to succeed!!
Y’all know it’s common for adults of any age to be in college right? 30s is still young and it’s very common for people to be in college in their 30s, either advancing their career or starting a new one. I’m just confused by Martin’s statement.
Loved the review/especially being new to the material
!CAUTION!:the book is *ALOT* darker than the Broadway show. just know the stage play is not as faithful to the book, as the movie was to the play. (Ie. Dear parents, Definitely vet it 1st before gifting to children for Christmas 🥴)
But since waiting a year sucks, and the play is expensive; I hope anyone else new to the material gets their part 2 ending however it floats their boat best ❤ don’t let me caution keep u from reading away :)
First time viewer/ new subscriber :) great convo guys! (And even better makeup 😅)
why did you use such shiny face paint?
If you ever watched Sam & Cat on Nickelodeon you can see where Arianna Grande honed her comedy skills
Korey looking like he be waiting outside 3 hours early at Bath and Bodyworks for the first Autumn Farts candles. 🧙
the stage play is amazing. I got to see it in New York. I can't wait to see the movie.
Gotta say Cynthia Erivo is the front runner for best actress
Elphaba: "Glinda, don't come to school tomorrow"
Knew before I even saw the thumbnail that Korey was gonna be green for this😂😂
Wait til part 2... it IS a prequel to the cowardly lion, the tin man and the scarecrow.
I can’t wait!
