It’s another edition of See It or Skip It, and this time Ian is joined by Kev and Megs as they click their heels, defy gravity (again), and head back to Oz for Wicked: For Good — the second chapter of the long-awaited big-screen adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon.

But does Wicked: For Good stick the landing, or does splitting the story in two finally come back to haunt it? Ian, Kev, and Megs unpack whether this concluding chapter delivers the emotional payoff fans have been promised — or whether it buckles under the weight of expectation, spectacle, and inevitability.

Is the heart still there? Do Elphaba and Glinda’s journeys feel earned, devastating, and cathartic — or overly polished and pre-packaged? The trio dig into performances, musical moments, and whether the film earns its big themes about power, friendship, compromise, and legacy.

Can a story everyone knows still surprise you? Does For Good justify its existence as a standalone film, or does it feel like the second act stretched to breaking point?

All this and more in this week’s See It or Skip It review of Wicked: For Good — and of course, Ian, Kev, and Megs will let you know if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
