The News with J: February 23 (transcript)

A couple weeks ago we started this news show for our YouTube channel called, “The News With J”. We have two episodes up on our YouTube channel and we were working on our third episode before our weekend got busy and J came down with a cough. So, instead of having a video, we thought it would be good to still get the news out in the form of a post! So here is the transcript of what would have been The News with J for the weekend of February 23rd, 2018.

“Hello, this is the news with J and I am your host J. I’d like to thank our sponsors at Watchtower Cafe for all their support. Get your geek on while you get your drink on at 1588 South State Street in Salt Lake City. Now, let’s get to the news.

Black Panther Review

Black Panther takes place just weeks after Captain America: Civil War and follows prince T’Challa through the process of officially taking on the mantle of King of Wakanda and Becoming the Black Panther. After a successful transition, an outsider travels to Wakanda to throw a wrench in T’Challa’s plans to rule Wakanda. See how everything plays out by getting your tickets today!!

Black Panther is so much more than just another Marvel movie. In my opinion there are many things that make Black Panther the most important Marvel movie made to date. The cast did such an amazing job making you connect with every character in the movie, Ryan Coogler knocked it out of the park and the effects team made Wakanda look as magical as I was hoping. The script is phenomenal, the end credit scenes are fantastic, and the soundtrack is perfection. Black Panther is hands down my favorite Marvel movie and I can’t wait to see it again. At the risk of posting spoilers, I will just end this review with just a thank you. Thank you Ryan Coogler, Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Daniel Kaluuya and the rest of the cast for such an amazing and important movie.

Black Panther is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, and action.
