November 17, 2022 Movie Mike on Planet 93.9 with Dave and Darren — “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Aftersun,” and “The Good Nurse”

Mike discusses with Dave, and Darren how real-world events (read: Chadwick Boseman’s death) have made “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” “a bit of a bummer,” especially when paired with “dumb jokes” that don’t land — are you sick of Marvel movies yet? Well, then, “Aftersun,” set in the present, reflects upon a character’s “beautiful, sad” family history, and it does grief considerably better than “Black Panther”’s director Ryan Coogler; and “The Good Nurse,” a drama concerning Jessica Chastain’s efforts to neutralize Eddie Redmayne, a suspected serial killer. While Chastain shines, Redmayne’s general dislikeability prevents audience-interaction with his character beyond sheer irritation. And who wants to go to the movies to be irritated? “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Aftersun,” and “The Good Nurse”
