Good Hang with Amy Poehler
My eighth podcast is Good Hang with Amy Poehler. It has moved to number two since I listened to it. She interviewed Ryan Coogler. They taled of his background and different things he has worked on, but what I found most interesting was when he talked of directing Black Panther and and Chadwick Boseman. I am a big Marvel fan and am trying to watch all Marvel movies and shows. I saw Black Panther before I really got into Marvel because I was watching mobies in IMDB's top 250 and I thought Black Panther was in there at the time, but I just checked and can find no evidence it was ever in there. Black Panther is 7.3 and the lowest in the 250 is 8.6. Coogler talked about how he felt like he had imposter syndrome and was worried he would get fired. Boseman told him to never say that, and that Boseman would never let them fire Coogler. Poehler asked Coogler if there was going to be another Black Panther movie and he said yes. She was asking him what musical instrument he thought of with three different movies he made. In the other movies it was a guitar, but in Black Panther it was a talking drum that was used for communication forever ago. They went and found drummers in Africa to perform. Pretty cool I say:
Coogler also mentioned randomly that he likes the Jake from State Farm SNL skit. I looked it up and thought it was pretty funny:
I thought Amy Poehler was a good interviewer. She put Coogler at ease and got him to feel comfortable and share freely. The podcast was interesting. 5/5.
