This week on Primal Screen, Flick Ford is joined by Alice McShane and Will Cox to discuss two wildly different films. Wicked offers a polished, mainstream iteration of a beloved musical, while The People’s Joker pushes the boundaries of intellectual property and the superhero genre in its DIY approach. Despite such different production context, the conversation explores how both films engage with themes of queerness whether subvert or overt, as well as girlhood, gender, and the femme. Come for succinct reviews of these two wildly different films, stay for an extended discussion of the musical genre on screen. Tune in to Primal Screen on Triple R - Mondays from 7pm, 102.7FM
