Show Notes
Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could've called it Ironheart Origins: Latinx Wakanda. Other discussions include: The contradiction between an idealistic power fantasy and anti-colonial politics, the friction between Coogler and Disney, US diaspora politics, the limits of MCU worldbuilding, murkovision, and more!
An extra special thanks to our $10 Executive Producers: JetChiclete, Isaac, squishward, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Tropical Doves, jprestonpoole, Lohik, bernventers, and Owen2.
