Eternals Part 1 - Captains of the Drukkari Ship

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Special guest Abbey M. White joins us this
week to talk about Marvel's Eternals. 

When Abbey says they want to talk about a movie, you give them a
platform! Abbey takes us to church this week with their takes on
the genius of Chloé Zhao and her very thoughtful, deliberate
approach to creating Eternals. 

It should come as no surprise that our thoughts on Eternals
exceeded the run time of the film, so we broke the episode into
two parts.  In this week's installment, we kick off the
discussion by sharing our overall thoughts on the film.  The
list of sh*t we liked about Eternals was much longer than the
sh*t we didn't like or know how to feel about.  An early
death in the film had Jocelyn hitting the Google to confirm
whether the concept of "eternal" also means immortal.

Next, we talk about balance.  Eternals has a very large and
undeniably talented cast, so we discuss the balance across those
characters and whether there were aspects of an individual's
storyline that left something to be desired.  Following
that, we discuss the small group pairings in the film.  The
title of this episode should clue you in on one of our favorite
pairings.  We also talk about smaller groups/pairings that
we would have liked to see more of, like Gilgamesh and
life.  No conversation about Eternals would be complete
without discussing our thoughts on whether or not the film hit
the mark on diversity and inclusion given the very diverse cast
and the diverse backgrounds of the characters.  There is a
quick preview of our thirsty thoughts segment and we close the
first part of the discussion by sharing the characters that we
are eternally done with thanks to their actions in the
film.

Part 2 will come out next Wine Wednesday, February 16,
2022.
