"What happens now determines what happens to the rest of the world."
The Marvel Madness continues this month with Black Panther and it brings some spectacular new looks to some tried and true traditions. This movie boasts a whole lot of firsts on the big screen and it’s set to shatter box office records for February. Entertainment Weekly said that this is the “Marvel movie for people who don’t like Marvel movies” and that it “could change Marvel movies forever.” All the front end hype means that it’s an important film to take in and a great one to talk about.On this show, tune in to hear Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III, and Justin 'JJ' Jaeger get deep about what it means to be a cog in the Marvel machine and what happened in this movie to make it stand out from all the others. We’ll make some connections for any confusion regarding its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and ultimately spoil the heck out of it and where things might go from here. Check out Black Panther in theaters now and then listen to this show because when the movie ends, our conversation begins.
