Ep. 47: Remembering Chadwick Boseman with andré carrington

Wynter has made some upgrades to her club, The Palace, on Grand Theft Auto, while Karen calls Away, the new mission to Mars drama on Netflix, “normporn in space.” Dr. andré carrington, a renowned scholar of race and science fiction--and a birder!--joins us for a retrospective of Chadwick Boseman’s tragically short, but illustrious career. We get beyond the superhero legacy and consider some of the real-life legends Boseman portrayed on screen. Nuo-lingo covers a term that crossed over from academia into public discourse, and we bring you a couple of songs about skies. Plus, andré tells you to watch ALL of Patti vs. Gladys--no skips!
