On this episode of the 2 Cool Parents, we are talking all about the ‘burbs. Just like Marvel’s MCU Wanda Maximoff (codename Scarlet Witch) constructs an idealized suburban lifestyle in the fictional town of Westview, NJ, Shea and Will deconstruct their reality of suburban living in Southern New Jersey and the importance of embracing all aspects of black culture.
