Tune in for Arthur’s two cents on Black Widow, the 24th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the superhero franchise’s second female-led picture, and the first title to (finally!) give top billing to Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. It was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on May 1, 2020, but COVID-19 left Disney to delay it to November 6, 2020, then May 7, 2021, and at last July 9, 2021 via theaters and Disney+ Premier Access. Directed by Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome), the film also stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostakoff, and Ray Winstone as Dreykov.

Tune in to hear Arthur rhapsodize about Silver Tears by Camilla Läckberg, her spellbinding sequel to The Golden Cage (which I highly recommend you read before listening to the general review, since it spoils major plot points in TGC). Let’s just bow down to the Faye Adelheim supremacy, all right?

Tune in for Arthur’s thoughts on Skyhunter by Marie Lu (Legend, Warcross, The Young Elites).
