K-Pop Demon Hunters & Wicked: For Good: Why Musicals Are Back
The Media Couple dives into the global phenomenon of K-Pop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s most-watched film of all time and explores why Wicked: For Good is already one of the most anticipated musicals in movie history.
From the unexpected rise of a K-pop + anime crossover to the powerhouse casting of Ariana Grande as Glinda, we discuss what’s fueling the musical renaissance. Are audiences finally ready for a new golden age of musicals, or is Hollywood just cashing in?
We also unpack the parallels between K-Pop Demon Hunters, Frozen, and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer, debate whether sequels are inevitable, and compare how Wicked stacks up against legendary musicals like The Sound of Music, The Greatest Showman, and Les Misérables.
PLUS: Don’t miss our musical-themed Rotten Tomatoes game at the end, it gets competitive (spoiler: Rory struggles again).
