  • Episode Fifteen - Can the DCEU Save Itself?

    Surprise! We've got another episode coming at you. Today's episode needs no explanation because we've all been thinking the same thing: What the F@&K is happening at Warner Brothers Discovery?! Please someone save DC. We're begging for a Kevin Feige-type figure to fix it. BEGGING. We're starting to think the owls in a trench coat theory holds water... #hoothoot

    Disclaimer: Most of the episode was spent scream-laughing. So... you've been warned. Thanks to the panel for the deep belly laughs. If you need a pick me up, this is the episode for you!

  • Episode Fourteen - Deep Dive: Black Panther

    Welcome back Supa Fans!! 

    Here it is— our very first Deep Dive Episode! In our “Dossier Deep Dives” we plan to really dig into the characters, places, and things that make up our beloved superhero universes and who better to start with than the Black Panther himself?!

    Join the panel as we dig into the myth, the (sometimes) man, the legend and how much Black Panther has come to mean to the culture. Plus we discuss the teaser trailer for “Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever” and misogynoir that reared it’s ugly head in the aftermath.

  • Episode Thirteen - Kwanza Osayjefo

    Another interview coming in hot!  

    Today we have someone whose voice in the community only grows stronger with time, Kwanza Osayjefo! The collaborative efforts of himself and other amazing artists in the comic book world brought us BLACK, which is an action-packed graphic novel that poses the question: What if only Black people had superpowers? Earlier this summer it was announced that BLACK would be made into a feature film directed by the one and only Gerard McMurray, director of "The First Purge".

    Most recently you can catch him paying homage to Dwayne McDuffie and the legacy of Milestone Media in the new documentary feature "Milestone Generations" now available on HBO Max.

    Get cozy and join us in welcoming Kwanza to the show!
