Session 1, part 1: MCU on Disney Plus (1 hour, 50 minutes)

How is Disney+ handling the serial release of their once movie-only properties in a post Agent Carter/Agents of SHIELD world?  Now available exclusively through the Disney streaming service, WandaVision and Falcon & Winter Soldier are challenging how fans watch superhero dramas from fan theories not panning out, choices made that effect theatrical releases, and having to keep up with all of the other movies and shows to enjoy them.  WE discuss.

Session 2, part 2: WE on THEM (1 hour, 52 minutes)

The latest in black trauma drama is the limited series THEM, created by Little Marvin and executive produced by Lena Waithe. It is available on Amazon Prime Video, and is set in a somewhat supernatural version of the 1950s.  This series was largely criticized by the Black community for its unrelenting plot points that all involve Black people suffering. WE discuss the problematic elements, and the age-old question of “Who is this for?” PLUS, other properties the guests recommend instead, and what they hope from an industry that brought us Lovecraft Country, Get Out, and Us, but has taken a step backwards.
