From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

I hope all theaters convert to this.

I mean, I would say it was definitely an experience, however, I think there's some flaws.

You know, it's a gimmick, but it's not a bad gimmick.

If you're a fan of Black Panther and have strong feelings about how to watch the movie, you have options.

You can see it in 3D. You can see it in IMAX, and at three theaters in the US, you can see it in a panoramic format called ScreenX. Today we check in with some moviegoers who caught Black Panther in 270 degrees.

And we'll hear from Paul Kim, the man who's hoping ScreenX catches on in America

the way it already has in Asia. Plus, we revisit part of our 2015 interview with Black Panther

director, Ryan Coogler, who at that time had recently made his second movie, Creed. We talked about

rumors that there might be a Marvel movie in his future. But first on

the news banter, at long last, Oscars. Stay tuned. It's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by a special guest buddy in banter, Scott Feinberg, of The Hollywood Reporter.

He's our awards columnist.

Hello, Scott.

Hey, Kim.

So, we are cruising into Oscar Weekend.

This is a very unusual year in that there are multiple pictures that could potentially win best picture.

Usually by now we have at least an either or, if not a destined winner.

Right.

This year, it's just kind of open.

Yeah, I think there's at least five movies that truly have a plausible chance of winning.

And that's partly because the Academy these days uses a preferential ballot for the last eight years.
