Jenna and Chris are back, and they're ready to talk about 'Black Panther', the latest MCU movie, and arguably the most significant one yet. In the process, we uncover a major flaw about Rotten Tomatoes' lack of diversity, dissect a lot of white lady nonsense, and unintentionally predict Joss Whedon getting fired from 'Batgirl'. (No, seriously, we finished recording about ten minutes before the news broke.)

In what ways does this movie set a new gold standard for the superhero movies of the future? Is Killmonger really the most interesting MCU antagonist yet? And have some of these negative reviewers even /looked/ at a comic book before? Listen to find out.
