Criticless Cast UnhingedBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever (& a man hugging a rat in the dark)If you have been a long-time listener, then you will know Blaine's extreme dislike for the first Black Panther movie so at the very least this will be a pretty interesting one! It's now been 4 years sense the first film, the public is losing faith in the MCU, and on top of it all we have a new-ish actor in the role of Black Panther. Can director Ryan Coogler bring the MCU back to life or is he going to drive the wedge deeper with the die hard fans in favor of critics and the Twitter Twats?

Criticless Cast UnhingedThe Northman (& the big toe comparison)This mothers day you get a mega macho movie review, your welcome! Indie director Robert Eggers just hit theatres with The Northman; his third film, and this time he's going all out with a bigger budget, action, Viking period piece. We reviewed his last film which had very mixed opinions so the questions is, does a more main stream approach have a more wide appeal for audiences?

Blaine addresses this at the beginning of the podcast but again, sorry for the fake news and as far as we know the claims about Cusack made by Chris were false.

Try not to judge a book by its cover and let the name fool you, shockingly the film is not (entirely) as wacky as it sounds. This is not a bombastic action flick like its name suggest and you should go in expecting something closer to a drama.
