I know they banned Maus (Mouse) because I have that book and I remember hearing the news story. Its a graphic novel about the Holocaust written by a guy who's parents survived the Aushwitz concentration camp. He depicted the humans as animals. Germans were cats and Jewish people were mice.
my local library had a display of banned books - one of which was Charlotte's Web. I was drawing a blank as to what anyone could find offensive in the book so I googled. Turned out some religious groups are upset with the talking animals. So while not all books have widespread ban, I'm sure you could find some deeply religious community banning almost anything.
Theres a valid point to be made that the Wizard is both the democrats and the republicans. Theres a lot of Trump in the Wizard, but also Biden can be seen as the Wizard and Kamala as Morrible.
WTF? talk about a manufactured story. What a waste of time. Yes, the movie is pretty woke, but what isn't these days? otherwise, there's nothing here to reflect on. It's just a movie.
It's impossible to ban the movie, because of its conceptual content, in the U.S. Why do people these days keep pretending that the First Amendment doesn't exist?
Are you one of those silly people that don’t realize the original movie version is kind of sanitized and white washed and a lot less darker than it actually is? Wicked actually delves into the darker side of it. It’s not the same movie, honey.
I just saw that movie too! I actually liked it more than I thought I would. We went in knowing nothing about the book or the stage play... We loved it! 💚💚💚💚
Seeing some of these comments makes me realize we need to send people back to school because it seems like some of them don’t know what media literacy is and probably failed English class.
Elphaba is an idealist who won't compromise her principles because she feels even cooperating a little bit with the Wizard is unethical; Glinda is a pragmatist who is willing to work with people she may disagree with because it allows her to be "in the room where it happens." Which one do you think is Cenk at the end of 2024? lol
After Bush was re-elected The Incredibles opened at #1 and was proclaimed as being a conservative film because it was about a "strong family" even though the villain seemed so similar to the Cheney-Bush era neo-cons.
She should be banned for her dumb face and ridiculous commentary. This host always tells a story and then jumps 10 miles to find something to be upset about.
I've never seen the movie and probably never will. On the surface, this sounds like marketing hype. "Our movie is so radical it'll probably be banned in the next five years so you better see it now!". Who knows...maybe there is truth to that, but I am doubtful considering its main star is Arianna Grande.
The right-wing had a meltdown over the Barbie film; So going after the Wicked movie shouldn't be no surprise to anyone. Wicked is a good film and politics was the last thing I was thinking about.
There is a difference between critiquing a film, like Barbie or Wicked, for themes that one does not agree with and outright *BANNING* a piece of entertainment. Adam McKay asserts that it is likely that the political Right will ban Wicked. Yet, nothing about Trump's first term would indicate that he or his acolytes would ban anything. This is nothing more than McKay virtue signaling to his base by stoking the flames of paranoia.
He is a known film director for his film "Don't Look Up" which starred Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo Dicaprio and Ariana Grande-Butera as well. Plus, also, he is known for other two hit films like Anchorman & Step Brothers.
I genuinely felt the targetting outsiders was a right wing critique and the behind closed doors pulling strings and creating dishonest stories was a critique of the left.
I immediately saw political messages in this movie. Alphaba represents our poor people. Glinda represents the uppermiddle class who pities the poor but has no real heartfelt support for them. Yes, The Wizard represents Trump (or others in authority) who pretend to want to take care of the poor or those who are different. The female sorceress (I forgot her name) is the oligarchs that actually back the “wizard”. Loved this movie.
The Oz series by L. Frank Baum has always been considered radical and controversial, which is why it was not in schools or libraries back in the day. Glad to see Wicked is carrying on the tradition. If past is present, then Wicked will be banned.
Does anybody know who this woman is narrating in the beginning? I’ve never seen her before, but she’s arguably the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life. Who is she? 😮🤔. I’m not asking in a creepy way, I’m not looking to ask her out, I was just like pushed back when I saw her face for the first time
What is especially concerning about this possibility is the profileration of physical media we had during the 1930s/1940s Germany is nothing like nowadays, when a lot of media is digital, and we are seeing an increasing proportion of media that is only digital and has no readily available physical medium for consumers, collectors, and archivists to get their hands on. No need to round up and burn the books if they can simply turn the books off by removing it from the servers and from your kindle account.
The amount of hyperbole people are using now reminds me of the early 2010s when Republicans were fear mongering that we were about to be turned into a socialist country.
I saw the stage musical, and tried to read the book (not a fan of fantasy, and this was WAY too drawn out and convoluted). For me, the point of the story is that we are too fast to judge the "other" and decide that they're the bad guys because they don't look or sound or act like the people that they think are the good guys (i.e. the white population), because they're pretty and popular and have the world handed to them on a silver platter. The point is, we have to stop just looking at the surface, because the one you fear the most because they're not like you, could be the one that helps the most, while the guys you trust are only in it for their own interests and the popular, pretty, wealthy people that glitter above us, while ruining our lives.
Well... I kind of hate the concept. So they just took Wizard of Oz and put a finer point on it? "The Wizard is Trump!" Yeah, OK, but that just provokes that reactionary response. "No! The Wizard is Biden!". The more abstract concept of the original story provokes thought on a deeper level.
Its a movie! Its people dressed up playing pretend! Plus, I watched it and the only thing I was offended by was the racism. People should not be laughing at skin color!
I put it in the category of Barbie. It’s a movie for chicks and the rainbow Gestapo. Zero interest in it. Helps to remember that Adam McKay is a mediocre creator at best. Based solely on the two main actors in Wicked I have zero interest in the movie.
My fiance saw this because she loves Ariana grande’s singing. Wasn’t disappointed and any particular interpretation into one political party versus the other I think is a stretch. A huge stretch.
This is a genuine question, how do you still call yourselves the young Turks when everyone on your network is older than the internet itself (pre 90s). Where are the young voices. You haven’t had anyone on trend since Hasan left. Your network is on mf life support atp. Keep up the grifting and pandering to boomers and boomer lite (gen x).
Michael said he has no idea what “Heisenberg blue meth propaganda means”. I was like “me too”. I’m glad he said it because now someone will explain it. Cenk goes “Haha….dude”. Thanks Cenk. Ya jerk.
I am a “right winger” really middling on most of my ideas, I don’t give a dead mouses last cheese about Wicked. I also havent seen it. I do think the leads interview are cringe. About it.
There was fear of this kind of backlash made them shelf the next 2 books being adapted. HBO's remade all three and stayed closer to the book than the movie.
Yes, it is hemorrhaging only because they are part of a propaganda. Only check in to see what kind of mountain out of a molehill cenk and Ana are trying to stir up.
In not as interested in watching a movie that the writers based on a book or characters created by someone else. Id rather know what L. Frank Baum thought about his wizard and witches.
guys, since the election sometimes I feel like I am in a "turkish clock." if you don't what that is, it's when 12 men sit in a circle and each has his thumb in the aæhsole of the man to his left. In this case, cenk is in the middle saying "tick. tock. tick. tock." like what are we doing here? ever feel that way? wicked? who cares?
Does everything have to be political Disney ruined the Star wars in marvel universe comedy in movies don't exist anymore movies are not about entertainment anymore it's about scolding people and telling people how bad they are I wish Hollywood would go back to just plain old fashioned entertainment
All the movie back thing & over the yrs there was not a right wing or life wing & not have with trump or Biden or anything like that, people just going to the movie just to see the movie if was good or not ,& there was a thing 2 thumbs up or 2 thumbs down or 1 up to 4 stars , way can a movie be a movie would out all of the crazy dum stuff like this
Between the production and marketing budget, it cost $400 million. It’s only made $525 million world wide. They only get 70% of the revenue if they are lucky. So they’re at about $370 million. They haven’t even broken even yet. 😂😂
$571.3 million to date. Budget was 150 million. They say double to include marketing and distribution... that'd make 300 mill... but hay go with 400. That means a profit of 171 million. Thats not chump change.
Wicked was a great film and I never once thought about politics.
What books have they banned? Like titles? Only thing I’ve ever heard of are the books that expose young children to adult themes.
I know they banned Maus (Mouse) because I have that book and I remember hearing the news story. Its a graphic novel about the Holocaust written by a guy who's parents survived the Aushwitz concentration camp. He depicted the humans as animals. Germans were cats and Jewish people were mice.

In Florida they have banned over 100 books
And most of them have nothing to do with sex.
try again nazi.
They’re also banning any mention of slavery and Native American genocide. They’re literally trying to rewrite history.
Wicked Schmicked whatever... This woman is fine AF
And still devoid of charisma and impossible to listen to... that takes a lot.
@@Shawn-nj1ep she definitely fine AF, but her bs just makes her more of a one and done. You don't wanna listen to that shit everyday.

No only fascist. The republican party.
You amerikans are too uneducated to understand.
I'm a german by the way. There's NO BOTH SIDES.
WTF? talk about a manufactured story. What a waste of time. Yes, the movie is pretty woke, but what isn't these days? otherwise, there's nothing here to reflect on. It's just a movie.
I'd ban the film due to its appalling use of green-face.
Income tax - The fine you pay for being productive.
Most of those in finance are not productive yet that's where most of the wealthy people are made.
What a brainwashed clown. Do you have anything to say that you didn't get from Fox News? Prager U is not an actual university by the way.
If wicked is radical so are the Star Wars prequels
Not only would i ban this film, I'd also ban lollipops. I would also implement a law forbidding two men to share an umbrella. Enough is enough.
@@MrRumcup 🤣🤣🤣
No need to ban it. No one would be watching it anyway.
Pure TDS
You crying fascist.
Ah, clasic reich wing outrage. Never change
McKay doesn't actually think the movie will get banned, he just wants attention.
It's impossible to ban the movie, because of its conceptual content, in the U.S. Why do people these days keep pretending that the First Amendment doesn't exist?
Because in a few weeks it effectively won't.
@ put down the crack pipe
I don’t like the rightist direction TYT is going and have unsubscribed.
Bye! What the f*** are you even talking about.
So The Wizard of OZ has been on TV for decades....only 1 of the dozen OZ books written...and suddenly the Evangelicals have an isdie with it?
Are you one of those silly people that don’t realize the original movie version is kind of sanitized and white washed and a lot less darker than it actually is? Wicked actually delves into the darker side of it. It’s not the same movie, honey.
Now the green chick can publicly cry about how mean the world is to her again
So the movie isn't political but people are making it political anyway? Why 5 years? Trump only has 4.
Because this process didn’t begin and won’t end with Trump. Dems wanted to pass a bill to protesting Is… on campuses.
I just saw that movie too! I actually liked it more than I thought I would. We went in knowing nothing about the book or the stage play... We loved it! 💚💚💚💚
The movie is an allegorical promotion of Frankfurt School cultural bolshevism: the epitome of neoliberalism. Edit for typo
If you don't like it, don't watch it. Stay home and shut up.
How is Wicked more radical than V for Vendetta? Makes no sense.
Welfare - The reward you get for being unproductive. Note: the elderly, the disabled and those who need a temporary leg up do not apply.

Why? It sucked.
My a Republican friends loved it. I haven’t seen it because I don’t like the actresses
This movie aint getting banned 🤦♂️ youre starting to fear monger about as bad as the right does
not quit but the rightwing Trumpers are really against it

Oh come on, This prediction is beyond ludicrous.
TYT is ludicrous.
She should be banned for her dumb face and ridiculous commentary. This host always tells a story and then jumps 10 miles to find something to be upset about.
Starting on January 1st meet the new incoming employee over at The Daily Wire Tim Pool. Ben Shapiro bought him out
I just wasted my time with this video
And even more time by leaving a comment.
Lol. Same. But it's better to be informed.

The amount of self gaslighting some of you do is hilarious
It's is really bad, kids got bored, fyi
Just watched "Critical Drinker's review of Wicked", he said it was a good movie. So no issue here could be just a PR stunt.
It's box office success proves that there are too many people out there who have no taste.
The 6 foot circus. People standing 6 feet apart in line only to be packed into public transportation, e.g. planes, busses and trains.
The BOOK IS CRAZY and NOTHING like the play or movie. It’s NOT to be read by children at all.
