Causeway & Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Movie Squad Podcast #100)

For this episode of the Movie Squad Podcast, Cecilia Allen and Tristan Fidler join Breakfast host Taylah Strano to discuss two new movies in release.

Cecilia begins with Causeway, a new indie drama available to stream now on Apple Plus, which stars Jennifer Lawrence as a US soldier returning home from a tour in Afghanistan and dealing with a traumatic brain injury. Directed by Lila Neugebauer and also starring Brian Tyree Henry.

Then, Tristan looks at Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the latest Marvel action-adventure film, which is a sequel to the successful Black Panther while also a tribute to star Chadwick Boseman who passed away before shooting began. With King T’Challa (Boseman) gone, the nation of Wakanda heals – led by Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) – while also defending themselves from an underwater empire led by prince Namor (Tenoch Heurta). Out in cinemas this week.
