Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings proves people don't tire of superhero origin stories when the storytelling is this good. Under director Destin Daniel Cretton, the narrative takes center stage in Marvel's 25th MCU film.

Ocean Murff convenes The Film Board to discuss Cretton's knockout, joined by Justin Jaeger. They cover the family-focused story, standout performances like Simu Liu's complex title role, and stunning fight choreography from cinematographer Bill Pope. Shang-Chi meets his father Wenwu and sister Xialing, delivered by Tony Leung and Meng'er Zhang, while Awkwafina shines as his friend Katy. We unpack how the film focuses on found family and interweaves Wenwu's romance with Li into the core. With incredible camerawork and effects, settings from Macau to Ta Lo, and Liu's star-making performance, Shang-Chi soars as an origin story that breaks the mold. Tune in for an in-depth discussion of how this wuxia-inspired gem raises the bar for Marvel!
