This week, Nigel and Tazziii journey back to Wakanda for deep dive into the Black Panther sequel with Dylan from the Popcorn Podcast and Destinee Cleveland from the Burn Out Brighter Podcast. We consider the decision not to recast Chadwick Boseman before tackling the narrative itself, discuss stand out performances and how director Ryan Coogler’s vision fares against the weight of expectation and the Marvel Machine. This week’s storytelling tip is all about exploring grief through four corner opposition.

Ryan Coogler and the cast of Black Panther are taking no prisoners. That much was evident when they released an excellent teaser trailer backed by a great Run The Jewels track. Any doubt was dashed with the even more impressive trailer that showcased the stunning Wakandan landscape and acrobatic fight scenes.
