Culture Gabfest: Is Wakanda Forever?
b'This week, Nadira Goffe sits in for Julia as the panel begins by reviewing the Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever. Then, a discussion about the Selena Gomez documentary, My Mind & Me. Finally, they chat about Gen Z\\u2019s impact on the midterms and the election of Maxwell Alejandro Frost.\\xa0\\nIn Slate Plus, the panel talks about the art they resisted at first, but came to love.\\xa0\\xa0\\nEmail us at culturefest@slate.com.\\nEndorsements\\xa0\\nDana: I will recommend Spielberg, a 2017 documentary about Steven Spielberg that I happened to watch on HBO because I was reviewing his new movie The Fablemans which is auto-biograohical or semi-autobiographical and has a lot of stuff about his childhood. So naturally I went back to try and what his actual childhood was like. Low and behold, this doc about Spielberg is really good. Available to stream on HBOMax.\\nNadira: I was inspired by the Selena Gomez documentary to bring something that is a piece of celebrity journalism. The 15K word piece Frank Sinatra has a Cold by Gay Talese is one of my favorite pieces of journalism ever. There\\u2019s a really fun version on Neiman Storyboard with annotations both by someone interviewing Gay Talese and then Gat Talese responding to those questions.\\xa0Also, I don\\u2019t know how familiar you are with Moses Sumney but he is a queer Ghananian-American artist from California who makes, I\\u2019d describe it as etherial avant-garde jazz rock. He\\u2019s so good. The lack of performing during the pandemic pushed him to make a sort of live conceptual concert film called BLACKALACHIA that he released last year. I saw him perform a live version of this concert film arrangement earlier this year in Brooklyn and it was one of the top 10 live shows in my life.\\xa0\\nSteve: In the forthcoming New York Times Magazine, but it\\u2019s already up on the web, there is a longform interview with Brian Eno. The thing about Eno is, talk about someone who deserves the elder statesman label! He\\u2019s just stayed so vital and he\\u2019s such an intellectual. It\\u2019s a great interview. I could go on and on about Eno.\\xa0\\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews.
