#46 - A Wicked Zootopia
This week, Tom is joined by... absolutely nobody! And he apologises for that. But never fear, he shall quickly and efficiently and definitely without any rambling nonsense guide you through the next two weeks, which are bringing two biggies to the big screen. This weekend has Wicked: For Good, the conclusion to last year's Wicked, and next weekend has sequel to 2016's Zootopia, conveniently called Zootopia 2. But that's not all! Once he has talked through all the numbers involved in those films, he also brings to your attention some of the possibly overlooked films that are also coming out over the next couple of weeks.Enjoy!
