Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep. 1: New World Order

Caroline and Bridgette kick off the premiere with theorizing, in-depth analysis, and unadulterated adoration for two of our faves (hint: the titular characters). Sam copes with the impostor syndrome and a struggling family business. Bucky copes with finding - and losing - human connection as his past keeps haunting him. Both must cope with the gaping wound that Steve has left behind. Today, we discuss the start of their character journeys, the legacies of Steve Rogers and Captain America, new characters like Torres the Baby Bird and Walmart Cap, and how it shows that Black creatives are behind the making of this series. Also, Bucky is giving off major Zuko vibes, and we dare you to prove us wrong. We love our angsty boys.
