Brooks says Wicked is way too long, with even more to come, but it will leave its fans in sheer Oz, I mean, awe of its attempted spectacle. Made for fans of the play, of course, but not necessarily anyone else.

Adam says that Red One could have been frivolous fun, but the lack of chemistry between the leads and its inability to decide what kind of film it wants to be makes it fall flat. https://bigshinyrobot.com/movies/red-one-review/

Brooks has nicknamed Adam and Counts "The Grumpypants" because they didn't nearly have as much fun with Beetlejuice as he did, and even then, Brooks's inner curmudgeon came out. Thankfully, Romulus was there to save the day along with some great afterlife themed guilty pleasures.
