Episode Overview

This episode delves into the cultural and political controversy surrounding the upcoming film "Wicked Part 2: Wicked for Good," particularly its promotion of LGBTQ+ themes in the context of classic literature and Hollywood storytelling. Isabel Brown passionately critiques what she sees as Hollywood’s increasing trend of “queerifying” beloved stories and icons, examining broader implications for womanhood, societal values, and representation. Isabel also connects these topics to recent media events—like magazine cover choices and activist discourse—in both the UK and the US, and closes with concerns about real-world ramifications for women amid a focus on performative activism.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Hollywood, Wicked, and the "Queer Agenda"

• Isabel opens with outrage over the cast and creators of "Wicked Part 2" overtly discussing queerness in the land of Oz.
• She accuses Hollywood's "out of touch, coastal elitist, psycho leftist" figures of intentionally infusing LGBTQ+ messaging into stories that historically had no such elements.
• Direct reference to Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda)'s public statements that "Oz has always been a queer place" ([02:46]).

Notable Quotes:

• Cynthia Erivo ([02:46]):

  "Oz has always been a queer place. A safe place for every different color of the rainbow for everybody. Read the L. Frank Baum books. It's the truth. You're safe with us... The gayer the better."

• Isabel ([03:02]):

  "They were asking about the stands of Glinda and Elphaba getting together and having a lesbian relationship romantically, sexually, beyond just the realm of friendship, which is literally not the story of Wicked, by the way."

Key Insights:

• Isabel views the reframing of Oz as “queer” as counter to the traditional narrative and criticizes the transformation of platonic female friendships into romantic or sexual relationships for the sake of representation.
• Expresses concern that Hollywood is “intentionally twisting innocent childlike fantasy and turning it into... incessantly obnoxious LGBTQ propaganda.”

---

2. Connecting to Broader Media Trends: Star Wars & Marvel

• Isabel relates the “queerification” of Wicked to other franchises, including “Star Wars: The Acolyte” and Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
• Plays and discusses interviews with “Acolyte” showrunner Leslie Headland, who claims the new Star Wars series is "arguably the gayest Star Wars" ever ([09:10]).

Notable Quotes:

• Leslie Headland ([09:10]):

  "This is, I would say, arguably the gayest Star Wars, I think by a considerable margin."

• Isabel ([10:01]):

  "Are you telling me with a straight face that C3PO is straight?"

• Isabel ([10:20]):

  "I think it's canon that R2D2 is a lesbian."

• Isabel ([12:09]):

  "They're insanely hell bent on trying to make everything gay, make your favorite stories gay, make all of the characters gay, and make you, the viewer... gay as well."

Key Insights:

• Brown is especially frustrated with established characters being “re-written” for LGBTQ+ representation, citing robots C3PO and R2D2 supposedly being given sexualities.
• She detects a pattern among Hollywood creatives to make “everything” gay and connects this to what she views as societal confusion over traditional norms.

---

3. Womanhood, Magazine Covers, and Erasure

• The episode pivots to concerns about erasure and distortion of womanhood in culture and media.
• Isabel highlights GQ UK naming Cynthia Erivo its "Man of the Year" and Glamour UK naming a group of men "Women of the Year," criticizing the trend as a deliberate affront to biological sex and traditional gender categories ([15:40]).

Notable Quotes:

• JK Rowling (via Isabel, [16:18]):

  "I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. And now mainstream women's magazines are telling girls that men are better women than they are."

• Isabel ([17:15]):

  "It's not enough to just be a woman. You have to be a queer woman. It's not enough to just be a woman. You must also be a okay with men being the Woman of the Year."

Key Insights:

• Isabel interprets these editorial and entertainment choices as evidence that traditional womanhood is being "undermined, eradicated and uglified" under the guise of progressivism.
• Reiterates her disdain for what she calls “performance activism” that ignores genuine women’s issues.

---

4. Real-World Women’s Safety vs. Performative Activism

• Brown points to the reported rise in sexual violence in Western countries and the invention of “anti-rape underwear” as evidence that performative activism in media is out of touch with real dangers facing women ([18:57]).

Notable Quotes:

• Isabel ([19:47]):

  "Are we comfortable living in a society that tells women the erasure of women... by men is the only way to be empowered?"

• Isabel ([21:07]):

  "Stop the performative activism. Stop acting like you are a champion of human rights from your glitzy, glamorous towers of Hollywood and red carpet premieres..."

Key Insights:

• Isabel argues that media focus on "queering" characters and shaking up gender categories is performative, distracting from or compounding actual threats to women’s safety.
• Cites real cases (e.g., anti-rape products; victims of sexual violence facing harsher penalties than perpetrators) as more urgent women's issues.

---

5. Nerd Fandom and Culture Creation

• Despite critiques, Isabel affirms her longstanding love for Wicked and plans to see its sequel to “report back if it is indeed queer” ([14:32]).
• She encourages her audience to focus on creating their own culture rather than solely criticizing mainstream media.

Notable Quotes:

• Isabel ([12:56]):

  "Wicked remains one of my favorite musicals of all time. I will never forget the experience of seeing Wicked on stage for the first time... I loved the movie the first go around. I’m so excited to see the next one."

• Isabel ([21:45]):

  "If anything, I think we just need to start creating our own culture at this point, which I think we are doing."

[A]

Hello, friends. Guess who? That's right. It is I, the replacer. Once again, I've been called on. So you can play the new Call of Duty Black Ops 7. With three expansive modes, 18 multiplayer maps, and the tastiest zombie gameplay you've ever freaking seen.

[B]

Call of Duty Black Ops 7, available now. Rated M for mature. The world is days away From Wicked Part 2 hitting movie theaters across the country, and now we're being lectured that everything in Oz is queer. Actually, I am over it. As the resident nerd of the movement, seeing all of my favorite stories be taken over and hijacked by radical rainbow jihadists, to borrow the term from Charlie. And we're leaving this behind in 2025. Jump into all of it today with us on the Isabelle Brown show. Wicked Part 2 is right around the corner, baby. And the theater kids like me are rejoicing. I am so ecstatic for this film to get its second act in the box office. And I have plans to go see it next week, which I'm incredibly excited for. You guys know how excited I was for Wicked last year. But unfortunately, all of the main stars are doing everything they can to queer ify Oz, to gay ify everything. And it's just the latest example over the past few years of how these unbelievably out of touch, coastal elitist, psycho leftist members of Hollywood, whether they are in front of the camera or behind the camera, are intentionally trying to manipulate some of the greatest stories of all time to specifically push a radical LGBTQ plus agenda, even if it has nothing to do with the story whatsoever. While promoting Wicked Part 2, which is called Wicked for Good, this week on the red carpet. And Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba and Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda, both said that Oz is inherently a gay, queer place. And that will be reflected in the Wicked movie. Listen to this.

[C]

Love you. We love you too. You're amazing. And thank you for, for believing in us.

[B]

Do you have a message for the.

[C]

Queer fans who are watching this? We love you. We love you. We love, love you.

[B]

We love you.

[C]

We love you.

[B]

We love you.

[C]

And Oz has always been a queer place. A safe place for every different color of the rainbow for everybody. Read the L. Frank bomb books. It's the truth. You're safe with us. We love you so much. That part. The gayer the better.

[B]

Do you have a message for the gunky style?

[C]

Oh, we love you too. We love you too.

[B]

Where is our camera? In case you didn't get that at the end, by the Way they were asking about the stands of Glinda and Elphaba getting together and having a lesbian relationship romantically, sexually, beyond just the realm of friendship, which is literally not the story of Wicked, by the way, but, oh, we love you.

[C]

We love you.

[B]

And you say we should be instead of just normal friends. I don't know. These people are psycho. Okay, Maybe we shouldn't even be surprised, though. Last year on the Wicked press tour, Cynthia and Ariana said that everyone is gay in Wicked. Even the animals in Oz are gay. Here's what they said then.

[C]

Every day in the Emerald City is a pride parade. Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, look at, like, that's actually great, but it's true. Even, like, the chickens, those snow leopard.

[B]

With a little Kate.

[C]

Yeah, definitely, you know? Yeah. I mean, Dr. Dillman in that Bodhi cardigan. Let's wake it up. Let's talk about it. I want to. I want that cardigan. Let's just talk for a minute about him and his little custom tea device as well. His little teacup. Dr. Dilly with his tea in his cardigan. I'm just throwing it out there. It's true. Gay icon Dr. Dill. I do think that that's. That scene with. With his teacher friends or his animal friends. They're all a little bit, like, very chic. You know, Stone leopard's lounging on the couch and the little tamarind monkey.

[B]

Okay, obviously they're insane. I think that's just speaking for itself in the substance of what they're talking about. But somebody really does need to do a wellness check on Cynthia Rivo and Ariana Grande. They look ill to me. Like, they genuinely look sick. They look sicker this time around on the press tour in the red carpet or green carpet, I should say, for Wicked Part 2. Wicked for Good than they did even a year ago. Somebody keeps commenting on all of these clips, and I hate to laugh because it actually is really sad. Like, I genuinely am concerned about these women. Well, maybe not everything is queer, but you certainly have no shortage of Ozempic in Oz, which is just sad, but it's true. Like, these people, they look like walking skeletons. There is something very sinister happening behind the scenes on the set of Wicked, and somebody needs to do a wellness check on both of these young women. Apparently, everyone's gay. The wizard is gay. The witches are gay. The professors are gay. The animals are gay. Even though literally all of this is fantasy, everything specifically is about the LGBTQ plight in America. Every day in the Emerald City is a pride parade. And honestly, I'm just over it. I'm over it. I'm over them. Turning all of the greatest stories and most beloved fairy tales of all time. Not just Wicked, but like every single project coming out of Hollywood into incessantly obnoxious LGBTQ propaganda with when it has nothing to do with the story. Nothing. It's actually intentionally twisting innocent childlike fantasy and turning it into, I don't know, apologists for raving sex parties based on people's personal opinions and desires. It's gross. It's gross. But this is just the latest example of Hollywood being hellbent on destroying our favorite franchises. And. And I am not here for it. Just as much as I have become incredibly annoyed with the queer mafia taking over my favorite movies, TV shows, books, et cetera, I've started to become really annoyed with influencers just trying to tell you exactly what's going to make you healthy on TikTok. And this is something that has hit me so, so hard. After becoming a mom, I realized that every single decision I make about my health is not something I can take as lightly as scrolling through a 15 second video or is not just about me anymore. It's about showing up for Isla. It's about being present for all of her milestones and having the energy to keep up with her for decades to come. That is a totally different kind of motivation in your life. But here's the problem. Our health care system is designed and built to be reactive. You wait until something's wrong and then you try and fix it. So when you're trying to take a proactive approach, all you really see are influencer suggestions on social media and it can be really hard to know where to even start. That is exactly why we have been partnering here on the show with our friends at Jevity. They have mastered proactive health and made it easier than ever for all of us. Jevot offers different membership tiers so that you can choose what fits your specific needs. You get a comprehensive at home blood draw testing over 100 different health markers way beyond what your standard checkup covers. Then they go through personalized health plans with you with custom supplement protocols, have have access to functional longevity specialists for ongoing guidance and offer discounts on supplements and specialty testing moving forward. Jevoty is now available in 47 states across the country. So if you are ready to be there for the people that you love, not just today, but for decades to come, you can use Code Isabel at the link in today's show notes for 20% off because investing in your health now means so much more time with the people who matter the most. This actually, this moment on the red carpet last week immediately took me back to the press tour for Star wars, the Acolyte series. This was also happening last year. And as a die hard resident nerd, probably the resident nerd of conservative media, most importantly, a die hard Star wars fan, this pissed me off to the nth degree. Listening to Leslie Headland, who has been hired to apparently just destroy Star wars from the inside out, explain how the latest Star wars project at that time, Acolyte, was intended to be the gayest Star wars series ever. Remember this?

[D]

I want to ask you both, because this is, I would say, arguably the gayest Star Wars, I think by a considerable margin. And are you excited about that? Are you raising Star Wars?

[C]

Nothing.

[D]

It's pretty gay, let's be honest. Leslie, are you. How do you feel?

[C]

Am I gay?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Well, no, I know you are gay, but I'm asking, are you excited about putting this. You know, this is gonna be a talking point.

[C]

Is it gonna be a talking point?

[D]

I'm sure so.

[C]

Because nerds are gay.

[D]

Well, some nerds are very not gay and are very threatened by gay people.

[C]

Well, that's true, but in my world, nerds are gay.

[D]

I wanted to.

[C]

No, I don't think so. And yet people have told me that.

[B]

It'S the gayest Star wars, and I, frankly. You're offended into it.

[C]

I think that Star wars is so gay already.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I mean, have you seen this? We'd be like, look how gay this is. And then send each other a reference photo and.

[B]

Are you telling me with a straight face that C3PO is straight?

[D]

They're a couple. That's what I think. But this is more outward.

[B]

I think it's canon that R2D2 is. Is a lesbian.

[C]

Oh, interesting.

[B]

Yeah. Huh.

[D]

Ask baloney.

[B]

Okay, so nerds. Nerds are gay. I guess all nerds are gay, except for the nerds, who are really not gay. Me and most of us, actually, who, according to these psychos, are threatened by the gays. No, not threatened. I don't think any of us feel threatened by you. We're just annoyed, frankly, that you are trying to canonically change our most beloved stories that tell timeless tales of the battle between good and evil. But if you were paying attention, according to people like Leslie Headland, you can't possibly say that C3PO or R2D2 literal robots are not gay. In fact, it's Star wars canon, according to these people, that R2D2 the robot is a lesbian. I don't know if anybody is familiar with Star wars out there, except for myself on my sometimes lonely little island of nerdhood in the conservative movement, but do you not remember In Star Wars, R2D2 can't possibly be a lesbian. He has a thing that sticks out of him. I'm just putting that out there. And C3PO is his lesbian lover, apparently. I mean, genuinely, you cannot make this crap up. But they're insane. They're insanely hell bent on trying to make everything gay, make your favorite stories gay, make all of the characters gay, and make you, the viewer of these said projects, gay as well. Frozen, I've been told over the past few years, is a story of queerness and lesbian love from inside of Disney. Our favorite superhero movies have been taken over by those incessantly obsessed with pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda. Do we not remember when Taika Waititi, who I actually think is an amazing director, crashed and burned Thor Love and Thunder? That was a bad movie in and of itself, but said out loud, we are all queer. We are all queer. So naturally, Thor Love and Thunder is queer. And indeed, he went out of his way to make this movie, to make Thor as queer as possible, because the characters are all queer, including Korg. Korg, the guy made of rocks who is literally not even a human being. What? Waititi made sure to put as much queerness in the film as he could. They covered in out magazine. Get out is all I have to say. Korg, the gay character he voices, talks about liking seeing Thor naked. I don't. I mean, seriously, really, this is what we're doing. Genuinely, I'm just over it. Can we all just agree at this point to leave this all behind in 2025? As we get closer to the end of the year, may that be our collective New year's resolution for 2026. And for the record, Wicked remains one of my favorite musicals of all time. I will never forget the experience of seeing Wicked on stage for the first time. I have been a massive, massive, massive fan of the story for basically my entire childhood and growing up into adulthood. I find the actors in the original stage adaptation so unbelievably talented. It is certainly in my top three musicals of all time. I loved the movie the first go around. I'm so excited to see the next one. I think I'm planning to go see it next week. Wicked for Good. I will report back if it is indeed queer. And the thing that I really want us to focus on here. Beyond just the insanity of the red carpet tour and somebody needing to do a wellness check on Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande though, what I want to drive home is that these people insist this is all about equality. And this is where I start to get really bothered by what's happening in Hollywood. In reality, this has nothing to do with advancing equality. We passed that on the road trip into insanity long, long ago in the United States of America. Instead, this incessant push to take over every single pillar of of American culture with some sort of LGBTQ plus queer identity messaging rainbow washed facade. And it's not limited to Hollywood. It's happening in the academic industry, it's happening in our politics, it is happening in the American church. I mean for goodness sake, people pastors are reciting the Sparkle Creed on Sunday mornings. Real thing, look it up instead of the Nicene Creed when worshiping God. All of this is part of a really sinister agenda to just sow more confusion and disrupt social norms simply for the sake of doing so. It's not even just limited to the movies that they are appearing in. Literally yesterday GQ UK magazine announced their Men of the Year issue and and on the COVID of GQ UK for the Men of the Year issue is none other than Cynthia Erivo. A woman featuring Cynthia Erivo with underneath of her Pierce Brosnan, who incidentally probably does deserve to be man of the Year in the uk. But this woman does not identify as a man. She doesn't identify as trans she, she doesn't use he him pronouns. Even if she did, she wouldn't be a man. She would be a woman. But they're literally just doing the Ron Swanson thing. They are giving the man or Woman of the Year award to the opposite sex on purpose at this point as a way to like advance equality and to challenge social norms. Something is going very, very wrong across the pond in the UK because GQ announced their man of the Year as Cynthia Erivo. And just a few days after Glamour magazine, the UK edition named their Women of the Year just a few days ago, who incidentally was a group of men, was all men. And this was so egregious and so not reading the room in the UK that J.K. rowling felt the need to respond. And I thought she totally hit the nail on the head about this Glamour Magazine Woman of the Year concept. Here is what she tweeted. I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. And now mainstream women's magazines are telling girls that men are better women than they are. Just as much as we need to make informed decisions about the type of celebrities and content we are supporting, it's really important for us to make conscious, well informed decision on the food that we are eating too. If you if you are a mom who wants the absolute best food out there available for your kid, but you are still wondering is this actually safe when you're walking through the grocery store, I 100% feel you food labels can be so so misleading. With seed oils, additives that are banned in Europe, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, heavy metals, all present in so many of our favorite products. It can be really really overwhelming knowing how to make a switch. That is exactly why I use Olive. I Olive is exactly like having a Clean Living expert right in your pocket. It's 100% independent. No brands are paying for better ratings on this app. It's just credible, transparent information you can actually trust. One quick scan with your camera, on your phone, on a QR code or a barcode and Olive looks past all of the marketing to flag ultra processing sketchy additives, seed oils and hidden contaminants in a potential food item that you are going to buy if you if you scan and a food scores very poorly. Olive even goes one step further and recommends a safer, cleaner and non toxic alternative for you to choose instead. And they are building the most comprehensive independent database of lab tested products out there anywhere on the market. This isn't just talk. Olive recently completed the largest independent baby food study ever done in history. They tested over 300 products for lead and arsenic in actual ISO accredited laboratories. Real testing, real results. If you want to know if your baby's food has been contaminated with lead. Scary stuff. Just scan it with Olive. This has saved me so much time. Not just in the time that I'm actually at the grocery store scanning individual food items by all of their barcodes, but making my lists upfront and knowing exactly what I am headed to purchase so that I can give my daughter Isla the best health jumpstart possible right now when she's even a baby. If RFK Juniors Make America Healthy Again message really resonates with you. But you are so tired of decoding confusing labels and ingredients that you can't even pronounce. Olive is about to become your best friend. It is the app for the Maha movement. My listeners get an exclusive 7 day free trial. Try Olive to scan your pantry. Make sure you are feeding your family only the very best. Download Olive Right now in the App Store. Hmm. That's the secret, isn't it? I mean, most of this messaging is from women geared towards women in an attempt to erase, undermine, eradicate and uglify womanhood. It's not enough to just be a woman. You have to be a queer woman. It's not enough to just be a woman. You must also be a okay with men being the woman of the Year. It's not enough to just be a woman, you have to go out and obtain the title for yourself as a woman of man of the Year. It's not enough to be in a women's oriented musical like Wicked with two female lead characters. No. They also incidentally need a fan base with where people are calling for them to be lesbians with each other instead of wonderful female friends like the hallmark of sisterhood that Elphaba and Glinda represent. It's not enough to just have women Jedi characters in the Acolyte. Nope. Instead we have to turn robots into lesbians to be pushing for the queerification of Star wars of a galaxy far, far away. It's not enough to embrace who you are ultimately. In fact, who you are will never be enough. And I find it so unbelievably disgusting that the same people who just keep desperately trying to bring us drag us into the Upside down, to borrow the terminology from Stranger Things, which comes out out imminently and probably also is gay now that I think about it, but comes out imminently and I've been waiting for three years. I'm so excited for this finale to drag us into the Upside Down. These people insist that they are the ones pushing for empowerment, pushing for equality, pushing for women in particular. But if these people were really actually serious about women's equality in society, particularly in the uk where they're having all kinds of these ridiculous issues on magazine covers and all kinds of cultural problems, maybe they would start paying attention to stories like this one that went viral just this week on social media. The UK has gone so far and I think this speaks to Western civilization at large. Across Europe, the UK and now the United States of America has gone so far in pretending to care about women and not actually caring about women women that a European company is developing rape proof underwear for women to wear while walking out on their city streets. In Europe, anti rape underwear for women has been developed. Many hope that such protection will never become necessary. In Japan, this was a Japanese oriented account tweeting this. But seriously, look at this. Is this the only way to feel safe? That's what that asked you at the end in Spanish, is this the only way for women in Europe to feel safe? Seriously, what are. What are we doing here? Honestly, what are we doing here? Are we comfortable living in a society that tells women the only way to really be empowered is to gay ify everything? Are we comfortable living in a society that. That tells women the erasure of women, the replacement of women in our sports, our locker rooms, our academic institutions, our scholarships, our job prospects, our awards and magazine covers by men is the only way to be empowered? Are we comfortable living in a society where the so called spokespeople of equality, the famed celebrities that we all fawn over on the red carpet every few months manipulating and twisting our favorite stories to push for everyone, being queer is the hallmark of progressivism. Because honestly, while we're paying attention to all of the glitz and glamour of everything that's happening in Hollywood, this stuff is happening. Rape is up by 3 thousands of percentage points depending on where you look in the European Union, the United Kingdom and all across Western civilization. In Germany, a girl who was gang raped by a group of migrants was put in prison for longer than her rapists because she was said some offensive things actually about said migrants. Women are now having companies develop anti rape underwear which people are asking, is this genuinely the only way, the only way women in the west can ever feel safe again? Stop the performative activism. Stop acting like you are a champion of human rights from your glitzy, glamorous towers of Hollywood and red carpet premieres, claiming that because you've turned R2D2 or Elphaba lesbian, you all of a sudden deserve the Nobel Peace Prize when you have said nothing about the actual societal undermining of womanhood. God bless J.K. rowling. Honestly, I say this probably once a month at this point. All of my content. No one else in the realm of the entertainment and arts industry has remotely the same amount of bravery as this woman to say the hard thing. But I'm done. I'm tired. I'm over it. Living in a culture where this is the type of performative activism that we constantly put on a pedestal, we follow on social media, we amplify from the rooftops. If anything, I think we just need to start creating our own culture at this point, which I think we are doing. And I'm looking very, very much forward to seeing more of that in 2026. And beyond question for all of you, are you still planning to go see Wicked knowing just how much these people are trying to change the wonderful land of Oz as much as humanly possible. I still am. But I'm dying to know if you guys are thinking about going or not going based on the comments made by Cynthia Erivo. So drop that in the comments from we have got a short episode today because I am traveling all the way across the country to give a speech this afternoon. So please keep me in your prayers with all of the crazy travel insanity that is happening in the wake of the government shutdown. We've got a awesome lineup of content for you next week. Have an amazing weekend. I love you all so very much and we will see you Monday.
