I can't rec this For Good deep dive enough. Every time Michael and Callum do an Oz ep, it's like a Oz queer analysis masterclass, and this one is no exception. I also urge you to seek out their Return to Oz and Wicked Pt 1 eps as well as their appearance on Down the Yellow Brick Pod this season.
Our new bonus episode - a long, spoilery discussion about Wicked: For Good - is out now!

It's been Agatha all along! Charlotte Rae teaches us about some very different facts of life as Miss Cackle's evil twin in The Worst Witch (1986). Are people born wicked, or do they have cheap pink wigs and bin bags thrust upon them?
