media report from chilly Wisconsin
Nov. 20th, 2022 12:05 amMedia report!
Went to a matinee of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" with my friend Rebecca. She noticed this showing had open captions and thought I might like that, and I did! I guess this movie is popular enough to warrant such a showing. It was just us and 2 other people in the theater.
I liked the film a lot, but felt it was too long at 2 hours 41 minutes. I've said it before, they should bring back the intermission. Let me have a bathroom break and get some snacks without missing the movie!
It was very beautiful to watch, and I especially liked that most of the characters in it are Black women.

I listened to the "Overinvested" podcast about my current fav, Andor.

I don't know that I learned much from this podcast ep particularly, but it was very nice to hear people enthuse about the show. I disagree with something Gavia Baker-Whitelaw said, a minor point really, but this is often why I find pop culture pod casts frustrating: who is there to listen to me argue? It's too one-sided. I have a lot of opinions about media! So I suppose I'll write it out here. Spoilers for Andor under the cut.
