    Much needed
    I’m so grateful that this podcast was made. I watched Wakanda Forever just a couple days ago (I know, I’m late) and I cried more than I expected to at the story of grief and loss and moving forward. I love that this podcast brings us more stories of Chadwick as the character and what he put into it and how his contribution was so huge. I appreciated hearing more of the backstory of the big players/actors involved too. I loved Leticia’s episode and her process. I enjoyed everyone who spoke here and the important topics that arose, like that of allyship and the discussion of the battle between the Wakandans and the Talokanil. Thank you for being so thoughtful about who was brought on and I enjoyed Ta-Nehisi’s pre/post commentary on each episode as well. Time well spent.

    A profound podcast
    This Podcast will take you on a DEEP dive on how everything went down from Chadwick Boseman’s passing,to what the creatives thought when it came down making the tough decision of if they should make a sequel or not, and so much more! I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen if you’re a fan of the Black Panther films!
  • Miss you chad
    This is awesome
    I love how it explains on what the characters felt like about Chadmick Boseman when they are doing the 2 movie and why we all want to become the black panther together
  • Joe LJ

  • Raikage Phoenix
    Amazing
    This podcast is a love letter from the makers to the audience! I would love to hear more of this going forward! I believe hearing the behind the scenes enhances the viewing and feeling that the movie already sets! Amazing work to this team.

    Yearning to listen all over again from the start
    As with the film, which transports you to another realm, this podcast—with Ta-Nehisi‘s singular, luscious voice and insight—is deeply affecting storytelling and journalism. What a gift. What a way to steep into the depth of the film’s making and its meaning for our culture and our time. And to commune with the humans who poured their aching and humility and remembrance into it—to honor Chadwick Boseman’s vision and being. What a privilege. I need to listen to it all over again.

    Uh huh
    Damn…I dare someone to listen to this and not wanna kiss Ryan Coogler’s feet. One of the best humans, best artists. Feels like Jesus just put his thumbprint into your soul, and just feels so “right” for him to be who he is and doing what he’s doing with his life. The best kind of reminder to me to do what I love. Perfect counterpart and co-laborer with Chadwick. Perfect leader to move the stone further down the path after Chadwick’s passing.

    Worth every minute
    Made my heart swell and break all at the same time! Magnificent work.
  • SeanGerberMMM
    Incredible insight!
    I loved this podcast so much! Such fascinating insight from the storytellers behind an outstanding work of art. Marvel Studios should be making more of these, each uniquely suited to its respective film or series.
  • Keishie23

    Phenomenal Storytelling and Perspective
    This is probably my favorite podcast I have ever heard. It is a cultural artifact with expert storytelling and also a historical account that will tell the story of the people behind this monumental film and our beloved Chadwick. Thank you to everyone involved for this gift of a show!
  • JeritaCL
    Beautiful
    I only recently began to listen to podcasts that give insight to how a film or show was made. This one is the best I’ve heard! I’m not sure if it’s the resonance with black culture and the representation but this made the film that much more beautiful. To hear all the meticulous effort to get the Mayan history and culture as correct as possible as well as the love and dedication to Chadwick warmed my heart. There were times when I dropped a little tear just because I was so touched to hear all the love Ryan and the cast and crew had for the project. This was honestly one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to and I’m grateful to everyone involved for giving the films and this podcast to us and our cultures. Just beautiful!

    Fantastic Podcast
    If you loved the film, you’ll definitely love listening to this podcast. Every episode is a deep-dive into a different aspect of the movie, and is a fascinating look at how much love and care went making sure they got it right. Not gonna lie, I choked up several times listening to the cast talk about Chadwick.
  • V. Thurman
    A Beautiful Collection of Stories
    I feel deeply grateful to everyone involved in the making of the podcast. It is exceptional, stirring and emotional. Each episode is a treasure trove of both creative insights and examples of the strength of the human spirit. Thank you, a thousand times, thank you.
  • TonyaA6
    Great first episode
    **** 2/16/2023 update *** Outstanding. My sincere gratitude to all of you for this incredibly emotional podcast. Tonya A **** Thank you, Ta-Nehisi and Ryan Coogler. This initial episode was incredibly moving. My first viewing of Wakanda Forever will be on Friday morning (11/11). I look forward to future episodes of this podcast. Thank you! ***2/10/2023 I’ve just listened to episode 5. Wow. I love the care that was taken to ensure the Mexican/Maya/Meso cultures were represented respectfully. I wasn’t the only person who didn’t want the Wakandans and the Talokans to fight. I get why, but we want them to co-exist peacefully. Thank you, again, for this excellent podcast and sharing perspectives from the cast and behind the scenes crew.
  • Lewah33
    Terrific

    What We All Need To Hear
    This is one of the best podcasts I have heard in a long time. I bought Wakanda Forever on 4K, but was disappointed when there were only 2 special features. This podcast is exactly what I was looking for. It gives more background in the transition from BP1 to BP2, and goes in depth at the themes, world building, and thoughts behind every character and idea. A must listen to.
  • Jalloteyjr
    Huge fan !!!!
    I love hearing about the process and work it took to get the movie completed. As a Ghanaian American I love that people are becoming involved portraying a positive historical African and meso American history
  • Hip hop guy who is greatly elevated as a follower of Christ
    Dope podcast!
    Ta-Nehisi Coates knocks it out the park with excellent questions. While interviewing the contributors to this highly iconic film. It’s revealing,beautiful and real.
  • Namor1321
    The best podcast on BPWF
    Loved everything on this episode!
  • TallGrrl1
    Saw the movie 3 times before listening…
    I live for this depth of behind the scenes of a film. Thank you everyone who has anything to do with bringing this film from page to screen while mourning the lead actor. I include this podcast. Thank you for this beautiful gift. I’ll be coming back to listen to different episodes when I rewatch the movie.
  • ImpracticalB
    Yes, Yes, Yes
    I love this podcast. Hearing from everyone involved is a treat and an honor. You can’t get a more fantastic group of people telling this story and honoring Chadwick.
  • maiamymyforever
    Thank you for caring to share 🥹
    As a podcast lover & an actress I’ve absolutely loved to her the creative processes that have been told on every single episode. What a treat to have Ta-Nehisi Coates as our navigator too 😭 Thank you for caring to share this with the people who love BP, love the storytelling medium of Film, & are curious human beings ☺️
  • Chan Tei
    Magic
    This podcast is just magic, everything we needed and more. It brings a closure that the movie just couldn’t. The first episode found me in tears and in love with the amazing connection and friendship between Coates and Coogler. The joy of learning the beginnings of Wakanda, Ryan’s thought process, and now what the first script originally looked like before we lost our beloved hero. It’s just magic. Thank you for this. Thank you.

    Double Take
    From someone that doesn’t usually listen to podcasts, this is amazing. I found myself re listening to episodes over and over AND OVER again. Amazing podcast.
  • Raechel12
    It’s a privilege…
    To have a Glimpse into this creative process. You can see how special this collaboration is on the screen. Now I get to experience it through the eyes of the creators themselves. 🙏🏽💜
  • Calina Holte
    From one artist to another
    As an audience member, you sit in awe of the echos of greatness, as you witness the beyond magical collaboration of collective efforts. This is what both Black Panther films provided for me, and so many others. However, what this podcast offers is a rare look at how that greatness we saw in theaters came to be, one podcast at a time!
  • Adrianna Locke
    Deep Dives and Deep Feels
    I love this podcast. Mr. Coates does an amazing job hosting, bringing out hidden gems like the gifted journalist he is. The personal-ness of it is incredibly special. And as someone with mesoamerican heritage I so appreciated the conversation about how the values of these movies provided the scaffolding upon which to bring to life the world of Talocan with the same care as Wakanda. I felt that solidarity while watching the movie and it was so special to hear it talked about specifically.
  • Sani M.
    Love This Podcast
    Thanks for this podcast .I love hearing bts of what happened with this amazing series in Marvel. Everyone involved with Black Panther movies, (Cast and Crew) y’all did an amazing job. It definitely was an experience for me!!!
  • Carol Marvellette
    Beautiful and Haunting
    I don’t think a podcast has ever moved me as much as just this first episode did. I laughed, I reminisced, I mourned, and I did shed a tear or two. Chadwick Boseman was an incredible person with an incredible legacy that no one will ever be able to live up to. I felt the weight of his loss in Wakanda Forever, and it grounded the movie in truth and emotion. I can’t wait to explore how this wonderful and heartbreaking movie was made. Chadwick Boseman: Forever in our hearts, forever our King.
  • Ri1914
    This!!

    Amazing Podcast
    Wanting to know the backstory to how the movie was made was an absolute delight. Coates does a wonderful job with guiding the conversation and hearing Coogler approach to the film was amazing. The wait for the rest in 2023 is going to be a long wait.
  • Bigswivel1

    More please?
    More eps please. It’s a great show and great conversation. I haven’t even seen the movie yet but loved the first one. Take your time but don’t stop. A slow drip is better than a dried up well. Thanks!
  • Breesa86
    Great interview
    Cried during this interview. So heartfelt. Chadwick was my favorite actor and his passing really hit me hard.
  • beeborenee
    Heartfelt and Gutwrenching
    This was a beautiful. It felt like overhearing a private conversation between friends. T. Coates asked thoughtful questions Ryan Coogler gave honest heartfelt answers. I was privileged to hear more about their beloved friend and consummate man, Chadwick Boseman. I came to this podcast with brotherly love and deep respect for both these men and left feeling proud standing tall. It fills my heart to the overflow to hear Black men speak with intelligence and vulnerability, to be unafraid and daring enough to give voice to deep emotion. I adored Wakanda Forever and will see it again. Thank you for pulling the curtain back. The behind the scenes imbues what I saw with life. I look forward to the coming conversations. Bravo for a podcast well done.
  • TO@Newark
    Can’t wait to hear the rest!
    Just listened to the first episode. A very intimate portrait of the filming process that you just don’t really hear in the mainstream press. I never knew that Chadwick had such a creative involvement and was such a cheerleader for the franchise all the way back to Civil War. If want to hear about the story of these movies from the perspective of PEOPLE making art, not just “celebrities,” it sounds like this is moving in a nice direction. Excellent use of the podcast format to make it more up close and personal.
