Joining me this week to talk about Black Panther is Leslie Lee III, co-host of Struggle Session Podcast. We discuss his view of the movie, itself, and the state of black radical politics in the wake of its record-breaking reception. There are most definitely spoilers in this episode, but I’m confident that those who haven’t seen the movie (really??) will still enjoy the episode, so have no fear if you have been living under a rock.
