In this episode of the Avatar Slang Podcast, I kick things off with what I’ve been reading and playing lately—Go Go Power Rangers, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and One World Under Doom. From there, I get into how libraries are real-world socialism in action and how folks love to throw around terms like capitalism and socialism without really understanding them.Then I break down how Marvel walked back Doom’s utopia just when it started making too much sense. It wasn’t the system that failed—it was the power trip.I also talk about Gavin Newsom, whether he’s actually progressive or just smooth with the game. And to close things out, I show love to Amanda Seales for calling out the tired “Black victimhood” narrative and flipping it into a real conversation about accountability and systems.It’s all about how comics and politics are more connected than we think.

In this deep-dive review of Sinners, I break down why this film is an instant classic and one of the most important pieces of Black cinema in recent years. Directed by Ryan Coogler—who I consider a generational director—Sinners blends horror, historical commentary, music, and identity into a powerful story set in 1932 Mississippi.
We explore the film's major themes, including:
The duality of Black joy and struggle
Vampirism as a metaphor for cultural appropriation
Music as resistance and spiritual connection
Capitalism’s impact on marginalized labor
Racial ambiguity and identity through casting
Griot traditions, memory, and storytelling
I also talk about the incredible performances from Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Canton, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku, and how the film uses genre to confront real-world history without romanticizing the past.
If you’ve seen Sinners or plan to, let’s talk about it. This is the kind of movie that stays with you.
In this episode of the Avatar Slang Podcast, the crew dives into Fortnite, Final Fantasy VII, and what they’ve been watching lately—from The Chosen to Daredevil. They chop it up about rewatchable classics, superhero shows, British actors in Hollywood, and the racial dynamics behind casting. The convo also hits on anime across generations, streaming wars, leaked movie hype, and a fun debate about Pikachu vs. Mickey Mouse. With laughs, nostalgia, and real talk, it’s a little bit of everything.
