Wicked & Ash

Eric watched ASH. Matt watched WICKED.

 

ASH is the latest film from director and record producer Flying Lotus. A woman wakes up on a distant planet and finds the crew of her space station viciously killed. Her investigation into what happened sets in motion a terrifying chain of events. ASH stars Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad). Now in theaters.

 

WICKED was the ultimate cultural touchstone of 2024, an adaptation of the successful broadway musical. When ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda, the two’s unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. WICKED stars Cynthia Erivo (Widows), Ariana Grande (pop star), and Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park). Now streaming on Peacock.
