Episode description
Sarah and Jenny journey beyond the yellow brick road to compare Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West with its recent film adaptation. They discuss how the film reinterprets key characters, themes, and the moral grey areas of Oz. Have you seen the film/read the book? What did you think of the adaptation?
