Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming movie musical.

Bowen Yang is spilling some major Wicked tea!

To celebrate 400 episodes (although the podcast has already passed that number), the Las Culturistas hosts Yang and Matt Rogers are counting down "The Iconic 400," i.e. the 400 most iconic icons of pop culture.

The list overall is great, obviously, but one specific number is having us quaking in our boots!

Coming in at number 336 is a Wicked shout-out, with "Fiyeros played by gay men. Likely all Fiyeros."

"We don't want to say all of them are gay," Yang, who plays Glinda's friend Pfannee in the upcoming movie version of Wicked, says in a recent Las Culturistas episode where they start listing off The Iconic 400. "But Nick Adams..." (an actor who played Fiyero in the first national tour of Wicked).

"He's gay," Matt Rogers interjects.

"No, I'm just saying I'm listing off Fiyeros," Yang says.

"Jonathan Bailey is gay!" Rogers adds.

"You notice that they, in the poster for Fiyero for Wicked —" Rogers starts before Yang says, "He's showing his ass."

"It's giving tush. It's giving tushy," Rogers says.

But this is where it gets really juicy.

"Jonathan Bailey," Yang says next. "I'm going to spoil it. He gives an unspoken bisexual energy to Fiyero in the movie. It's incredible."

"Really? I feel that that is believable," Rogers says.

"Pfannee and Fiyero might have a moment," Yang confirms.

As if we weren't already excited for the movie, now we officially can't wait!

Bailey's character Fiyero has been getting a well-deserved highlight in the latest trailers for the movie, and we are loving it!

In August, we got a clip from the movie introducing Fiyero as Shiz University's Most Eligible Bachelor, and then again this month, we got a trailer showing Bailey singing and dancing as Fiyero.

Now, with this news,

Wicked, coming to theaters November 22, is undoubtedly the biggest movie of the last part of the year!
