Matt's So-Cast Pod: Wicked's Connection to My So-Called Life
Added 2024-12-02 17:00:14 +0000 UTC
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
And here we are with Gregory Maguire and some friends at Gaylaxicon in 2019! I have no memory of the yellow druid.

Hey Matt, I've been kind of taking my time on my first watch through of My So-Called Life, really digesting it and having a good time. Because of this, I have yet to listen to the So-Cast Pod so I can avoid spoilers, but I have noticed that the podcast has now exceeded the number of episodes of the series. Should I speed up my watch through so I can listen to the podcast while it's still relevant, or will it be going for a while yet?
