## Resource

A critical review of the Wicked film adaptation, examining its handling of political themes and character development. The hosts also dive into the chilling true-story thriller 'Until I Kill You' and speculate on survival in Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge.

## Highlights
- Main idea: The Wicked film attempts to tackle fascism and colonialism but struggles with inconsistent character motivations
- Failure mode: The narrative fails to provide a satisfying resolution for characters resisting the Wizard's regime
- Practical takeaway: True-crime thrillers like 'Until I Kill You' derive their horror from their real-world autobiographical roots
- Main idea: Glinda's transition from a complicit figure to a ruler lacks sufficient moral development in the script
- Personal reflection: The hosts weigh the physical and mental challenges of navigating high-stakes social competitions
