Published: Sept. 17, 2018, 7 p.m.

In this episode of Pic.Think: Film, Sy and George review Marvel's Black Panther. In the first part of this episode, we start off by playing with the idea of totems of our own, as inspired by the totem animals - Bast & Hanuman - of the Wakandan people. In the second part, we then proceed to the review where we compare our impressions of the film both inside and outside of the hype surrounding the film's release. In the third part, we then conclude the review by drawing a similarity between the Wakandan people's access to the natural resource of vibranium and the ecologist Garrett Hardin's "Lifeboat Earth" thought experiment.
