The final film in the MCU's fourth phase comes to theatres, and it is the hotly anticipated, massively budgeted Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

 

Ryan Coogler is back in the co-writer and director's chair, and this time has some heavy lifting to do in terms of the very sad passing of his star, Chadwick Boseman, and Marvel's decision not to recast his role. The result is a film quite unlike anything else the MCU has thus far produced ... but is it any good?   Paul trips over himself in his eagerness to make a joke about the title of the film reflecting its length, and Wayne is a tad unimpressed with the spectacle on display here. But both agree this is a powerful film which should be seen.   Find out why as The Countdown continues ....   Time Stamps Wakanda Forever NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 12:50 Wakanda Forever SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 12:50 - 30:17
