Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, or "Death at a (Wakandan) Funeral"
Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could've called it Ironheart Origins: Latinx Wakanda. Other discussions include: The contradiction between an idealistic power fantasy and anti-colonial politics, the friction between Coogler and Disney, US diaspora politics, the limits of MCU worldbuilding, murkovision, and more!

[TEASER] #whoreremembers
For some people the mere mention of December 25th, 2010, or "The Day Gainax Ruined Christmas," instills fear and traumatic flashbacks to being Le Trolled. For Nicole, it was another day in dad's mancave on the family desktop computer lurking /a/.

Dick Tracy, or "The Color of Pomegranates"
In our final Pulp Month outing before we return for duty back at the IP slop mines, we watched the Warren Beatty vanity/autistic-passion project Dick Tracy, yet another attempt by Disney to play catch up to Warner Bros. and Batman. A nearly $50 million black tank-top movie shot by the DP of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage where Al Pacino in heavy prosthetics eats out the scenery and Madonna blasts nip. And in our most brain damaged discussion since The Book of Henry, we delve into Beatty's attempts to hold onto the Dick Tracy rights with Dick Tracy Special and Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In. Have you considered extending your life with SP (small portions), pomegranates, and our friend the blueberry? Plus, Stu reads a Diddy ahhh selection from Madonna's Sex book that even freaked Nicole out.

The Shadow... or "Who Knows What Zesty Thoughts Lurk in the Hearts of Men?"
He can cloud men's minds with braps of mediocrity. We continue our foray into Pulp Month with our first actual pulp character, The Shadow, starring Alec "walkemdown" Baldwin as the titular character.
