Spring has sprung, dear listeners, and the boys of Flame ON! have traveled back to late 2022 for a deep dive into a film that deserves some microsode love! Join Pat, BeeJay, and Erik as they travel back to the home of T'Challa, Shuri, and more as they chat about Black Panther Wakanda Forever. The 30th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe celebrates the life of the late King T'Challa (and his portrayer, actor Chadwick Boseman) and shows how grieving impacts not just those you are related to. The film also showcases the on-screen debuts of Namor and tech prodigy, and soon to be star of the Disney+ series Ironheart, RiRi Williams. We're also given a deeper glimpse into how entangled a certain Contessa is within the MCU and how far she'll go to get what she wants. Did the film live up to its predecessor? What wild speculation do the boys have coming out of this film (and what has been possibly debunked by subsequent films)?
