Show Notes

News this week is (surprise surprise) delays, with some upcoming releases.

Then, we review Wonder Woman 1984 , wondering if upbeat superhero movies have a place in a post-MCU world. We also discuss the film as a Trumpian parable, and return again to the idea of the "strong female character."

We also review Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Netflix), Chadwick Boseman's final performance. We talk about racial injustice, the black church, and why the church needs to sing the blues.
