Ep 39: Black Panther, Mute, The Cloverfield Paradox

Episode 39 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is the agony and the ecstasy. The agony comes from Rob Daniel, who talks (at length) about his ongoing recuperation following surgery after a particularly non-heroic "sports injury". The ecstasy comes Rob Wallis, who, being sound of body was able to see Black Panther - aka Contender for the Biggest Film of 2018, aka Contender for the Most Culturally Significant Film of 2018, aka The Film You Really Should Have Seen By Now. So Rob W lets Rob D know about all the good stuff he has been missing. Rob D bravely listens without sounding too despondent. Our intrepid casters in pod then tackle a brace of disappointing Netflix sigh-fi efforts: Mute and The Cloverfield Paradox. Rob W remembers the time Mute director Duncan Jones praised him for his geek knowledge in a Director's Q&A, and both Robs recall how wonderful Moon is. Amidst all this banter, there is room for a cameo appearance from Rob D's flatmate, Michael, whose severe cold means background coughing makes a fleeting appearance. He also chips in some real words.
