Episode 39 | Why Black Panther Exposed Our Cultural Wounds ft. @TheBlackMaleJournal

In this episode, we sit down for a real, unfiltered conversation about Black Panther—not just the Marvel blockbuster, but the cultural moment it became. We explore how the film reflects our lived experiences around tradition, cultural gatekeeping, isolationism, generational shame, and what happens when progress challenges the past.

From T’Chaka’s silence towards Killmonger’s rage, from Okoye’s loyalty to M’Baku’s pride—we unpack how Black Panther speaks to deeper truths in African and diaspora communities. Why do some elders speak at us, not with us? Why is innovation often shunned in favor of outdated norms? And how does culture both empower and divide?
