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.
Other stories we’re enjoying: Rings of Power, House of the Dragon, Halloween, Romantic Killer, Oni, The Harder They Fall, Wednesday, Remake Our Life!, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, God of War Ragnarök
