It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode.

RIP this podcast
I don’t need to listen to two misogynists bumping their heads against each other. There are plenty of bro podcasts for that if I ever need to listen to a man neg women incessantly.

I have one thing to add and have to use this review to do it because I don’t have instagram but the reason why the leaders of Oz are running a conspiracy against the animals is because there was a famine prior to when the story starts and the animals were blamed for the famine and used as scapegoats. Think immigrants being blamed for the crime/unemployment. And Elphaba experiences discrimination because green skin is different in that world.
