Shang Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

This week, Justin, Alex, & Noah discuss Destin Daniel Cretton’s foray into super heroic filmmaking, Shang Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). We discuss the star turn of Simu Liu as the titular hero as well as his stellar supporting cast lead by Tony Leung, Awkwafina, & Michelle Yeoh. We also break down the benefits of the third act spectacular, the character-driven action set pieces, and the messy family melodrama that helped elevate this to the upper echelon of the MCU. Later, we speculate about those end credit scenes and what they may foretell about the future of Phase IV. In their Full Disclosure segment, Justin, Alex, & Noah also shine their light on a few other films and TV they’ve been watching, including the Chinese Reality Series Street Dance of China; The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021); and Together, Together (2021).
