***SPOILER WARNING***
December 28, 2020: For the final episode of 2020, DJ ROME welcomes back award winning comic book storyteller HANNIBAL TABU for his take on the latest installment into the big screen canon of DC films "WONDER WOMAN 1984." {Includes spoilers]

Part 1- "With Slavish Devotion": HANNIBAL gives us his breakdown of Patty Jenkins' "WW84" while putting into context the marketing business model that successfully converted comic book franchises into cinematic success-but does that include this film?

Part 2-"Improbable": HANNIBAL continues his analysis while expanding the conversation to the larger creative narrative of a critical technique absent in many DC big screen movies. Can you guess what the missing link is?

Part 3-"Rome's 2020 Lament": For the final segment, DJ ROME provides a reflective monologue that ties together the landmark events that helped shape 2020 into the most notorious on record from its struggling economy, its record-setting election that unseated an intransigent incumbent, and the devastating remnants of COVID-19 that took the lives of 330K Americans in under twelve months.

A very sobering, yet hope-infused finale for 2020, so press PLAY, SHARE with your friends, and have a safe 2021!
