What If I Don’t Like It? with Kt Baldassaro

This episode on What If I Don’t Like It? — we're diving into the world of Wicked, the hit musical based on The Wizard of Oz. But here's the twist: I know almost nothing about musicals, and I may not even like them all that much! 😬

Joining me is Kristina Oakes, a Wicked expert who's got the inside scoop on both the musical and the book. We’re going to see if her high expectations will turn me into a fan… or if I’ll be left in the dust. Will I be swept away by the magic? Or is this a case of me completely missing the yellow brick road? 🏰✨

Tune in to hear if we can break down the barriers of Broadway — and whether I’ll be converted or stay a skeptic! 🎧

For the thrilling conclusion to Season 1 of What If I Don’t Like It?, Kt Baldassaro is joined by the iconic Bonnie Burton—writer, journalist, and pop culture enthusiast known for her work in the worlds of geek culture, including Star Wars fandom and beyond. In this episode, Bonnie tackles Interview with the Vampire (1994), the film adaptation of Anne Rice’s beloved novel. Despite her status as an Anne Rice superfan, Bonnie has famously avoided watching this one for years, all because of a single, polarizing casting choice: Tom Cruise as Lestat! Will Bonnie find a surprising appreciation for the movie after all this time, or will it confirm her instincts? Tune in for a passionate, hilarious, and thought-provoking season finale as Bonnie and Kt dive deep into the film’s allure—and possible flaws!

Join Kt Baldassaro and her sister, Kristin, in this nostalgic episode of What If I Don’t Like It? as they finally finish a film that’s haunted their childhood: From Dusk Till Dawn! Back in 1996, the sisters started watching this Tarantino classic together, only to be interrupted by their older brother who deemed it too salacious for young eyes. Now, nearly thirty years later, they dive back into the wild world of vampires and mayhem to see if it lives up to their memories. 

But that’s not all—these cinephiles also reveal the equally inappropriate film they paired with their late-night viewing. Intrigued? Want to know if they ended up loving it or regretting the long-awaited reunion? Tune in to hear their thoughts and some delightful sibling banter!
