Joined once again by film critic Desmond Thorne, The Amanda Seales Show decided to get all the way real when it comes to the highly-anticipated and long-awaited offering by Studio Ghibli in addition to the fan-favorite Black superhero saga that’s currently in the midst of prepping for a third installment.
