Show Notes
It’s Tuesday, so you know what that means — Cast-A-Role is back!
This week, Jim turns the tables on Sam and Nick and forces them to watch one of his all-time favourite films. And with the release of Wicked: For Good on the horizon, there’s no better time to head back down the Yellow Brick Road and revisit the iconic musical Wicked. Expect big opinions, deep-dive discussions, and more than a few surprises.
Before the Wicked fun begins, the guys reveal their brand-new Patreon-exclusive series, “Side Dish,” and catch up on everything they’ve been watching — from a trip to the cinema to some heavy surfing through Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Will this episode be all singing and dancing?
Or will the Cast-A-Role trio stir up some controversial opinions along the way?
Tune in as we discuss:
-
Ariana Grande’s standout performance
-
Cynthia Erivo’s immaculate vocals
-
What to expect from the upcoming Wicked sequel
-
Whether Wicked truly has some of the greatest musical numbers ever
-
And of course… the all-important meatball ratings
As always, the episode wraps with a new round of Audio Aperitif, where Sam serves up musical tidbits for Jim and Nick to guess — plus a special announcement: a double-bill celebration for our 2-year anniversary.
Other Films Discussed:
-
Back to the Future (40th Anniversary release)
-
Caught Stealing

Robin Hood
Perfect for fans of movie podcasts, musical theatre, Wicked analysis, and the chaotic energy of three friends arguing passionately about film.
