The Culture Vultures take a look at Captain America: Civil War. In Part 1 they judge whether it is a worthwhile asset to Marvel's cinematic universe or another disappointing flop. In Part 2, Shive and Steph discuss the film's representation of real world issues facing the UN, war and the public's waning interest in politics.

This episode's Culture Vultures: Steph Chen and Shive Prema. 

Mojo’s Culture Vultures scavenge the world for cultural phenomena that are worth critiquing and then happily over-analyse the heck out of them. The Vultures will report in on a regular basis, showcasing the thoughts and discussions of typical university students. Part 1 of each episode will review something from the world of entertainment,  while part 2 will look at the complexities of culture, society and humans in general.
