The LiftHub Movie Night: Laughter and Anything Else #Watchsquad
So it's been A very Interesting Week this Week on the #Watchsquad squad and we've had series of battles over Black Panther being overhyped and not reaching up to its expectations, other members have said that the movie in question was given a wrong accolade for being the "First Black Super Hero Movie" when there was Hancock and Blade (just Kuku Ki me let me know e has finish). Well we are all entitled to our opinions and even though we may not agree, that's what makes the movie culture dynamic.
