In this episode, Jen and Trish are joined by Faridah Gbadamosi, Justina Ireland, and Brandon O’Brien to discuss everything from how Black Panther deals with the African Diaspora, how Nakia and the rest of the women are always right, what kind of villain Killmonger is, how the film fits within the MCU, and as much other stuff as we could fit in (given how many important conversations that Ryan Coogler and his team managed to infuse Black Panther with).

This is our very first Torture Cinema of the year, and so OF COURSE our Patrons had to pick something that was TRULY terrible! In this episode, Julia, Paul, Alex, and Daniel dig deep into the movie that is so awful and so unlike the short story it was based on that Stephen King successfully sued the production company! Keep in mind that Stephen King is directly responsible for Maximum Overdrive, and he STILL thought this movie was awful! But even worse, the team had to watch the Director’s Cut! Which we’re pretty sure just added an additional twenty minutes of Jeff Fahey having cybersex, but still… You guys get more sadistic every month. Keep up the good work! We hope you enjoy the episode!
