The discussion on AI and art was awesome so I will have to stick around. By the way yall knew you were going to get some smoke so I came for it. I mean some of this to be mildly critical but all in good fun. However, I am hurting over this wicked review though but glad I listened in for the first time!

It hurts so bad to tune in for my first time to this podcast and I listen to two people who hate musicals, one person who hasn't seen it on Broadway, and one person who clearly loves the Wizard of Oz and hates the counter story of Wicked. The only reviews I actually understood were the people who hate musicals.
The musical ear thing was lost on me. If you listen to any technical musician they have also commented on how amazing technically the music was in this film. I also happen to consider myself to have an amateur ear (ive been in band, theater, played piano, can hold a tune, etc.) but swallowing lyrics?!?!?!? Also how can you claim your a musical person but have not seen Wicked in a Broadway production somewhere in the last 20 years? I mean like that would be like saying I am a sports fanatic but I haven't been to a game in the last 2 decades. Either you are not truly a musical person or (and more likely) you like to go see "In The Heights" before Lin Manuel was actually big, or some obscure off Broadway musical about early century life, or maybe you go see like Le Mis in London because you have that kind of access.
Can I also the swallowing lyrics point made sense to me for the non musical folks? This is also how I was when I first started watching musicals, I felt the plot gets lost in the constant singing. So it makes sense to me that you would say that, and its a reason why only a select friends can go with me to musicals lol. Songs are not meant to necessarily further the plot, they can just be as simple as evoking someone's emotion at that time in song form. I could give a thousand examples across all genres of musicals where the music is meant to emphasize a plot point not extend or progress the story. Including the example given in this exact podcast in "In the Heights".
I also saw how weirdly you all just hate Wicked period. None of the questions are answered in the Wizard of Oz either. (magic, the wizard, the wicked witch of the west or east, why there's a scarecrow that can come to life, or a lion that can talk.) This actually answers more questions if you put it in context of already have watched The Wizard of Oz.
Lastly that strange diatribe on the emerald city and how it captured the imagination. I'm likely much younger than whoever said that, but WOW. The emerald city in this movie is light years ahead of the emerald city of old.
