And they fanned out so hard about Wicked.

And I, you know, I found it somewhat out of character.

And then I would find out that they owned the Grimmery when they were 13, you know?

What's the afterlife of Wicked?

Yeah.

Well, look, there's the lesson that I hope Hollywood would learn.

which is to make more properties that are aimed at and for and that can empower young women.

And then there's the lesson that I think Hollywood will learn, which is we should make more Wicked.

I expect more spinoffs.

I do think that... Spinoff films.

Spinoff films or spinoff anything.

You know, animated prequels, some sort of Shiz University spinoff.

There are several other books.

Yes.

I mean, there's a lot that you could mine.

But I think that...

that this film ends in a way where if they made a standalone Glinda movie, you could see how they're setting that up.

And I'm curious to see if they'll follow through on that.

Obviously, you know, they'd have to come up with songs and experiences that don't exist in the Broadway show, but they've already done that to some extent in these movies, and I think they feel empowered to keep doing it as long as Ariana wants to.

Do you have your ruby slippers?
