445 - Black Widow (feat. Tanya Cochran)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">After a two-year absence--thanks, global pandemic!--the Marvel Cinematic Universe makes its return to the big screen with the long-awaited</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Black Widow</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. And we do mean long-awaited: it’s been 11 years since Scarlett Johansson made her debut as Natasha Romanoff, and only now, after we’ve seen Nat die in</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Avengers: Endgame</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, does Black Widow get a solo movie. Paul and Arlo are joined by pop culture fan and academic Tanya Cochran to discuss whether or not Cate Shortland’s film was worth the wait. There’s talk of trauma, family dramedy, falling debris, and how much Arlo absolutely loves David Harbour as Red Guardian.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">NEXT: Sweet Tooth returns, again, in</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sweet Tooth: The Return</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">for our next</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong>BREAKDOWN</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:00:50  -  Intro / Guest</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">00:05:50  - </span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Black Widow</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:26:48  -  SPOILERS</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">02:04:47  -  Outro / Next</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>MUSIC</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Think Up Anger (feat.
