SPOILER ALERT!! This episode is 100% about Black Panther so if you didn’t see it yet, what are you doing?!?! Aldo NICE, Rog Smuve, and C.A.P. welcomed our favorite Nigerian homeboy, Babafems, to the podcast to discuss the new cultural phenomenon that is Black Panther. We checked all the boxes, discussing movie attire (04:00), our favorite characters (06:00) and favorite parts of the movie (11:00). The conversation got a bit deeper when we started to delve into the rich cultural identities represented in the movie (15:00) and our issues with the central conflict of the movie being amongst black people (23:00). We attempted to work through some of our own feelings of longing for Africa, the disconnect between black people across the globe (34:00) and this movie being a celebration of black women (43:00). After going through some popular internet memes (47:00), Uncle Smuve opened up the cabin doors to give his humorous take on the cast of the movie (50:00). To end things, the backlash from some racists and the LGBT community was touched upon (53:00) leading up to Aldo having Nothin’ NICE to Say about black folks who chose not to support this movie (1:01:00).
