#48: It’s Time We Picked Sides (Captain America: Civil War)

Gina November 19, 2020 No Comments
In this episode of Story x Story Nigel and Tazziii welcome Woo Long Talks Podcast hosts Jason and Rich to discuss Russo Brothers directed epic Captain America: Civil War. We debated the merits of Team Cap versus Team Iron man and which side of the superhero oversight debate we all fell on. We also gave tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who delivered an incredible debut in the MCU as Black Panther. This week’s story tip is about creating a third meaningful third act to deliver on the themes of your narrative.
Stories we’re enjoying this week: Food Wars (Anime), X-Men: X of Swords (Comic), Bly Manor (TV) and Mr Robot (TV).
Notice: Apologies for the slight but hilarious audio distortion on the audio of one of our guests.
