The end of the year is upon us and that means it is time for our Top 24 of 2024! Christy, Justin and Jiah each list their own favorites from this year in an episode that ended up being an hour and a half longer than they intended. Why? Because tradition.

Have you ever wondered where the Wicked Witch of the West got her hat? Or how those Monkeys learned to fly? Or how many Sleeping Tulips it takes to get a Goat with Tenure fired? Or how that road in OZ got so yellow? Well I don't want to spoil it for you, but it ain't all the Munchkin Piss. On this week's episode we're talking all things WICKED. And no, we don't mean the New-England-specific term of endearment. We mean the 2024 theatrical remake by John Chu of the 2003 Broadway adaptation by Winnie Holzman of the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire which was a kind of re-imagining of the 1939 MGM studio movie which, in turn, was a re-telling of the 1900 L. Frank Baum novel The Wizard of Oz. Phew. What a mouthful. Someone get me an Elixir. Anyway, we learned a lot from this movie. And the singing is pretty good too. Let's just hope we make it to November 2025 so we can potentially see a green woman fuck a scarecrow.

Have a smoke, take a shower, pop some Dexedrine and put on some movement clothes because this month we're covering Bob Fosse's ALL THAT JAZZ. Starring Roy Scheider, Jessica Lang, the Mayor from Ghostbusters and the Dad from Alf. I almost typed Elf, which would have been either Bob Newhart or James Caan. Those are the Dads from Elf. But we're not talking about ELF, we're talking ALL THAT JAZZ. A movie about a irredeemable man taking advantage of women and then dying, having learned nothing. Which I guess is most men right?
