Episode 20 - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Review
This week we both took a trip out to our local theaters, and saw Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on its record-breaking opening weekend. Few sequels have ever faced so daunting a challenge as this film, as the loss of Chadwick Boseman to cancer two years ago left a hole that for a long time it seemed would be impossible to continue on without. How did they do, both in terms of honoring Boseman and in terms of making a movie worthy of his memory. We’ll talk about it, the short answer is pretty well. Pretty damn well indeed.
