The Oscar nominations are out, and maybe - just maybe - people are realizing just how serious this "WAKANDA FOREVER" business is! The SSN Crew discusses "Black Panther's" seven nominations, as well as the other contenders for 91st Academy Awards, and a full review of a little movie called "Green Book" that is sweeping both the awards ceremonies and the subject lines of think pieces. Plus - reviews of the new "Carmen Sandiego," "The Greatest Showman," and a full discussion of Netflix's "Fyre" documentary, Hulu's "Fyre Fraud" documentary, and how much is too much to ask your employee to get $175K worth of water out of Bahamian customs.
