It's Marvel Monday and Wakanda faces its greatest challenge yet! ABOUT BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER The people of Wakanda fight to protect their home from intervening world powers as they mourn the death of King T'Challa. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER November 11, 2022 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER Director: Ryan Coogler Writers: Ryan Coogler, Joe Robert Cole, Stan Lee Cast: Letitia Wright as Shuri Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia Danai Gurira as Okoye Angela Bassett as Ramonda BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS T'Challa, the Black Panther himself, is suffering from a terminal illness. His sister, Shuri, believes the heart-shaped herb that gives the Black Panther his powers could save him, but the herb was destroyed. Shuri desperately tries to recreate it synthetically, but she can't do it in time, and T'Challa dies. A year later, Wakanda is facing pressure from countries around the world to share its vibranium. Other nations are even trying to break in and steal it! Queen Ramonda encourages Shuri to continue working on the heart-shaped herb so they can create a new Black Panther to help protect Wakanda, but Shuri says she doesn't think Wakanda needs a Black Panther. A U.S. expedition team is using a vibranium detector when they get a hit beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Before they can recover it, they are attacked and killed by a group of blue-skinned, water-breathing beings and their sound weapons. They are led by someone named Namor. Only knowing about the vibranium detection, the CIA thinks it must've been Wakanda. Namor shows up to confront Ramonda and Shuri. He gives them an ultimatum: hand over the scientist who created the detector to get them off his back or else he will attack Wakanda. Shuri and Okoye learn from CIA Agent Ross that the scientist who created said detector is someone named Riri Williams. Riri turns out to be just an MIT student. They track her down at the university, but before they can get her to safety, they are pursued by the FBI and Namor's warriors. Shuri is taken underwater to meet with Namor who shows her his home and what makes it so special. Namor explains that he has grown bitter toward the surface world because of the slavery and genocide suffered by his people. He proposes that Wakanda join him in an alliance against the rest of the world, while threatening to destroy Wakanda if they refuse. Shuri and Riri are rescued but two of Namor's guards are killed in the process. He's not pleased and Namor attacks Wakanda. During the attack, Queen Ramonda dies and Namor vows to return with his entire army. Shuri discovers that she can use a remnant of the herb that gave Namor's people their superhuman abilities to recreate the heart-shaped herb. She takes it herself and gains the powers of the Black Panther. Shuri returns wearing a new Black Panther suit and is accepted by the other tribes as the new Black Panther. Shuri is determined to get revenge on Namor for killing her mom. The battle begins and Shuri manages to trap Namor and make him weaker. The two eventually crash onto a desert beach and fight one-on-one. Shuri gains the upper hand, but she has a vision of Ramonda, who reminds her to choose a better path. Instead of killing Namor, Shuri offers him a chance to surrender and form a peaceful alliance. Namor accepts, ending the battle. Shuri plants more heart-shaped herbs to ensure that the Black Panther mantle will survive into the future. While she is away, M'Baku challenges for the throne of Wakanda. Shuri then travels to Haiti to visit Nakia. There, she burns her funeral robe, finally allowing herself to grieve for T'Challa and honoring Ramonda's wishes. Shuri learns that Nakia and T'Challa secretly had a son, whom Nakia has been raising in Haiti. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Send us a Question!REBROADCAST MOVIE DISCUSSION: Melvin & Dan can only agree on one thing: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is, in fact, a Marvel movie. To focus their attention, Melvin proposes four ambitions that he feels will make-or-break the film for audience members. (originally released November 16th, 2022)Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 44-minutes discussing Kevin Conroy's passing, Video Rental store nostalgia, and media curation (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Melvin liked that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had a somewhat self-serious profile as opposed to the more flippant, light sensibilities of other Marvel fare. However, Melvin has four headers - ambitions - that he observed within Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that he felt prevented him from "buying in" to the fiction of the film but may actually be beneficial qualities to certain audience members. His first point covers the film's global stage for a political drama between potentially warring counties. His second point covers the personal character stories within the film. A brief aside from the points, Melvin and Daniel agree: the suits at the end of the movie aren't that good. Melvin's third point has to do with the film's metatextual pairing of T'Challa's fictional death and Chadwick Boseman's real-life death. Melvin's final point covers what he would consider inefficient pacing, such as scenes clearly setting up future movies, or scenes having only one purpose at a time rather than being dynamic in detail.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Analysis The group discussed the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, focusing on its handling of grief and the character development of Shuri. They analyzed how the film addressed the loss of Chadwick Boseman and explored Shuri's emotional journey, including her encounter with the ancestral plane where she saw Killmonger. The discussion also covered the film's cinematography, underwater scenes, and the character of Namor, including his comic book history and representation in the film. Namor and Atlantean Characters Discussion Andy discussed the character Namor from Marvel comics, explaining his solo nature and conflicts with other heroes like the Hulk and Doctor Strange. He detailed Namor's history with the Phoenix Force, which led to him flooding Wakanda and creating animosity with T'Challa. Andy also covered other Atlantean characters including Namora and Atuma, noting that Marvel made Namor's home city Tl'Chok rather than Atlantis to avoid competing with DC's Aquaman. The discussion concluded with a brief mention of Riri Williams as a new character in the film. Ironheart Character Development Discussion The group discussed the character Riri Williams/Ironheart from Marvel comics and the related TV series. They compared the character development between the comic origins in 2016 and the TV adaptation, noting how the contemporary setting and diverse writing room made the character more relatable and less problematic than older comic book characters. The discussion also touched on how the Chicago setting in the series helped connect viewers to the story, and they reflected on the character's growth from the TV series to the movie adaptation. Marvel Character Names and Costumes The group discussed character names and costumes in Marvel comics, particularly focusing on Namor and his attire. They noted that while Namor's costume evolved over time to include pants and a vest, it made more sense for him to be semi-naked given his aquatic setting. Tiffany expressed frustration with illogical character names and costumes in comics, suggesting she would like a job at Marvel to review character designs and names. The discussion concluded with Andy providing background on Namor's character development and complex nature as both a ruler and hero. Angela Bassett's X-Men Casting Discussion The group discussed Angela Bassett's performance in the Black Panther film and her potential casting as Storm in the X-Men franchise. They compared Bassett's portrayal to Halle Berry's earlier performance and discussed how Bassett would have been a better fit for the role due to her character's African heritage and background. The conversation also touched on Bassett's other notable roles, including Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It and her performance in Waiting to Exhale.Thriller Drama Casting DiscussionThe group discussed potential casting ideas for a thriller drama featuring Viola Davis and Angela Bassett. Tiffany expressed strong enthusiasm for seeing these actors together in a suspenseful role, recommending that whoever writes the script needs to handle it well to justify casting such powerful performers. The conversation also touched on Viola Davis's acclaimed autobiography and Angela Bassett's recent role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with the group agreeing that Bassett's performance helped reintroduce audiences to her talent.

In this episode, we sit down with Ironheart director Angela Barnes and cinematographer Alison Kelly to talk about the visual power and emotional depth behind Marvel's highly anticipated series. From crafting the look of Riri Williams' world to balancing high-tech action with human connection, they share how they built a superhero story grounded in authenticity and innovation.Discover the creative collaboration that shaped the next generation of the Marvel Universe—and the lessons every filmmaker can take from their process.
In this episode, we share our review of the entire Ironheart series on Disney+, covering all six episodes and breaking down everything from character arcs to comic book connections. We discuss Riri Williams' evolution from MIT genius to armored hero, and why she makes the controversial choice to work with criminals like Parker Robbins (The Hood). We explore her emotional core—losing her stepdad and best friend Natalie—and how Natalie's return as an AI (N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) shapes the story.We get into Parker Robbins' origin, how he gets his powers, and what drives his twisted version of “success.” We discuss how his cousin John's death affects him, and why his partnership with Mephisto (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) felt more like a sketch comedy bit than a serious villain debut.We also explore characters like Xavier Washington, who has one of the most emotionally grounded scenes in the series, and Ezekiel Stane, whose character arc goes from promising villain to comic relief under Parker's control.Zelma Stanton's role introduces the magical side of the Marvel universe, which adds a mystical layer to Riri's otherwise tech-based story. We share our thoughts on how well that blend worked—and whether it makes sense for Riri to embrace magic so quickly.We talk through key moments like the Heirlum facility showdown, the reveal of Parker's motives, Riri building a new magic-powered suit from car parts, and her deal with Mephisto to bring Natalie back. We also unpack the mid-credits scene and speculate on a possible second season.We discuss what worked, what didn't, and what this series means for the future of Ironheart in the MCU.

We dig into Episodes 1 and 2 of the series, unpacking what works, what utterly shocks, and how the familiar heroes we know become something far more horrifying. We'll talk survivors (Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop, Riri Williams), we'll explore zombie versions of icons, we'll explore apocalypse world-building and pacing, and we'll ask: is this a re-imagining of “What If…?” turned max horror — or something the MCU truly needed? Whether you're a hardcore Marvel fan or just zombie-curious, you'll want to buckle up.

Marvel's latest Disney+ series 'Ironheart' zoomed onto TV screens without much fanfare. But did that reflect a low level of confidence in the 6-episode series or an overcrowded media landscape?

Introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as an upstart MIT tech wiz, Riri Williams has since returned to her old Chicago stomping grounds. In Ironheart's first three episodes, Riri joined up with Parker Robbins, aka the Hood (Anthony Ramos), whose crew of vigilantes steal from the city's tech titans to serve their own plans. Riri used the cash from their latest heist to upgrade her suit, and accidentally created an AI companion based on her deceased friend, Natalie (Lyric Ross), in the process.Riri also struck a tentative partnership with Zeke (Alden Ehrenreich), the son of Iron Man villain Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), but when her latest heist ended in a shocking casualty, Riri found her world crashing down around her. The final three episodes will follow Riri as she turns to magic to deal with the fallout.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
