In this week's episode of Two Asian Blokes, we finally review Wicked: Part 1 and Wicked: For Good. Why, you might ask? Well, these two movies happen to be directed by a man that has been mentioned on the podcast quite a bit, usually in a negative context - Jon M. Chu.
So what did we think of this series of movies, which are in a genre of film that we're not huge fans of, based on source material that we have little interest in, directed by a man of whom we are not fans?
Well, you'll have to listen to find out.
