This week on The Collider Podcast, we're talking about Black Panther. We talk about the film's various strengths, the rich themes woven into the story, the meteoric rise of director Ryan Coogler, the incredible villain, how it compares to other Marvel movies (there are more than a few insults lobbed at Doctor Strange), how Marvel movies changed after the dissolution of the story group, what Black Panther means for the future of the MCU and for blockbusters in general, and more. We finish up with a new installment of Recently Watched.
