Episode 38: Wakanda and the Rest of the World (Part 2 of 2)

The Black Panther anniversary celebration continues, with Chris moderating the roundtable discussion between Sabrina, Brandon Kesselly (@BCKesso) of The Rising Young Minds and NerdCraft Nation, and Karama Horne (@theblerdgurl). Who was "right" in the debate on whether or not to open Wakanda to the world? What does immigration and tourism look like in the MCU's Wakanda? Heck, what are weddings like? All this and more in this fantastic deep dive of Ryan Coogler's film.
