This week on the podcast we mourn the death and celebrate the life of the legendary Gene Hackman. We take time to dissect and discuss the Oscars before leading into our full, spoiler filled review of Captain America: Brave New World. We analyze how Sam Wilson steps up to the plate following the esteemed legacy of Steve Rogers. We unpack the nuanced performances around him, including standout contributions from Harrison Ford and Carl Lumbly, which serve as critical reminders of the depth and gravitas achievable in superhero narratives. As we compare critical reception and audience engagement, we paint a picture of the film’s impact within the broader cinematic landscape.
