Academy Awards
Wakanda For An Oscar?
The 2018 Academy Awards nominees are out and, for the first time ever, a superhero movie has made it into the Best Picture Category. Black Panther probably won’t win, but it’s a nice nod to the genre that has certainly matured in the last decade.

What’s your take on the awards this year?

The first two winners of the top Academy Award hit in the same year! Note that, at the time of this recording, we didn’t know that Trey would be coming along for the entire series.
