Episode 111: Black Panther Box Office Records, Janelle Monae, Musicians Turned Actors, Vulfpeck

Episode 111

21st February 2018

This week, we discuss the record breaking box office of Black Panther, Janelle Monae’s teaser trailer for Dirty Computer and then chat about some of the successes and misses of musicians who’ve tried their hand at acting. Then, Amita shares her thoughts and new found love for the costume designer from Black Panther and suggests a soul/funk band Vulfpeck to Sean.

Episode notes

We can’t help but discuss Black Panther again- from the shattered box office records to the worldwide reaction-Wakanda Forever!

Plus, Christmas came early with the 30 second teaser trailer for Janelle Monae’s latest ’emotion picture’ Dirty Computer. We speculate on when we’ll get new music from Monae, and some of the themes in the trailer.

Then, we discuss musicians who became actors- some successfully and some…not so much.

And Amita gives her review of the Atlantic article about Black Panther Costume Designer Ruth Carter and sells Sean on a feel good funk album from the band, Vulfpeck.
