Long, long ago, in 2023, "Barbenheimer" was the hot thing.

Movie theater marquee reads: "ARE YOU GOING TO BARBIHEIMER?!" with illuminated lights underneath

Well, there's a new girl in town, and her name is "Glicked."

People are planning on seeing Wicked and Gladiator II together, and voilà, that's where we get "Glicked" from.

Both movies come out on Nov. 22, and people are already buying their tickets.

Wicked is projected to open with $85 million, while Gladiator II is expected to make $65 million, so it's kind of a big deal.

Jeff Goldblum agreed, saying, "Nobody's in competition. It's an abundance mentality world."

And Paul Mescal is also into it, telling the Hollywood Reporter, "That was such a massive moment for the industry last year, and if we can replicate anything near that, it would be huge."

As Abby Lee Miller said, "WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE FUN!"

Anyway, I will surely be participating in Glicked because I love a cultural moment!

Now excuse me while I search for old Jiminy Glick videos on YouTube, because Glicked totally triggered that memory.
