The Oscar nominations are out, and maybe - just maybe - people are realizing just how serious this "WAKANDA FOREVER" business is! The SSN Crew discusses "Black Panther's" seven nominations, as well as the other contenders for 91st Academy Awards, and a full review of a little movie called "Green Book" that is sweeping both the awards ceremonies and the subject lines of think pieces. Plus - reviews of the new "Carmen Sandiego," "The Greatest Showman," and a full discussion of Netflix's "Fyre" documentary, Hulu's "Fyre Fraud" documentary, and how much is too much to ask your employee to get $175K worth of water out of Bahamian customs.

To say that Stan Lee was a significant force in the art of comics is a significant understatement. He, and collaborators such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, changed forever just how relatable, impactful, and flawed yet noble characters in superhero stories - no matter the medium - could be. In this episode, the SSN Crew discusses Stan Lee's career and his impact on entertainment. In addition, we review Steve McQueen's new film "Widows," and discuss Channing Dungey's exit from ABC, the final upcoming season of "Game of Thrones," and how "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power" might be Themyscira After Dark.

Even as "The Breakfast Club" becomes old enough to have kids of its own in high school, John Hughes' seminal film about Saturday detention still has a strong influence over comedy-drama films about teens and young adults. But why did it take so long for us to get Black entertainment like "grown-ish" and "Insecure" in the same vein? The SSN Crew is joined by special guests Carolyn from The C-Dubb Show and Amelia to discuss "The Breakfast Club" and "Riverdale's" recent tribute episode to it, the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace" film getting a release, OWN's "Chad Loves Michelle," how Warner Bros. can keep their "Jonny Quest" movie from being racist, and more.
