Happy Wine Wednesday! Special guest Abbey M. White joins us this week to talk about Marvel's Eternals. 

When Abbey says they want to talk about a movie, you give them a platform! Abbey takes us to church this week with their takes on the genius of Chloé Zhao and her very thoughtful, deliberate approach to creating Eternals. 

It should come as no surprise that our thoughts on Eternals exceeded the run time of the film, so we broke the episode into two parts.  In this week's installment, we kick off the discussion by sharing our overall thoughts on the film.  The list of sh*t we liked about Eternals was much longer than the sh*t we didn't like or know how to feel about.  An early death in the film had Jocelyn hitting the Google to confirm whether the concept of "eternal" also means immortal.

Next, we talk about balance.  Eternals has a very large and undeniably talented cast, so we discuss the balance across those characters and whether there were aspects of an individual's storyline that left something to be desired.  Following that, we discuss the small group pairings in the film.  The title of this episode should clue you in on one of our favorite pairings.  We also talk about smaller groups/pairings that we would have liked to see more of, like Gilgamesh and life.  No conversation about Eternals would be complete without discussing our thoughts on whether or not the film hit the mark on diversity and inclusion given the very diverse cast and the diverse backgrounds of the characters.  There is a quick preview of our thirsty thoughts segment and we close the first part of the discussion by sharing the characters that we are eternally done with thanks to their actions in the film.

Part 2 will come out next Wine Wednesday, February 16, 2022.
