Black Widow | Red Rooms, Red Ledgers and Red Guardians

Black Widow finally gets her moment in the spotlight, even if the MCU waited until after her death to give it to her.

In this episode of Psyber Conversations, we revisit Black Widow and talk about whether the movie works better now than it did when it was first released. We dig into Natasha’s long overdue backstory, the strange timing of the film, the dysfunctional family at its center, and whether this really feels like Natasha’s movie or the introduction of Yelena Belova.

We also get into Florence Pugh stealing just about every scene she’s in, David Harbour going full Red Guardian, the missed potential of Taskmaster, the darker implications of the Red Room, and the surprisingly strong James Bond influence running through the movie.

Was Black Widow the epilogue to the Infinity Saga that we should have gotten immediately after Endgame? Did Natasha finally get the send off she deserved? And, most importantly, how much plot armor can one person survive while falling out of a flying fortress?

Join Bob, Josh, Darin, Michael and Cara as they agree, disagree, nitpick and give Natasha Romanoff one final salute before Psyber Conversations moves on from the MCU.

Because around here, it’s okay to agree to disagree.
