"Black Panther" is shattering expectations at the box office with a record-setting world premiere. Hollywood Life's Bonnie Fuller joins Cheddar to break down the significance of the mind-boggling numbers. The Marvel movie's $235 million opening weekend makes it the highest grossing February release of all time. It's also the most successful movie from a black director. Fuller explains why she thinks the film has resonated so strongly with audiences. She says Hollywood should expect it to be a major player at the 2019 Academy Awards. The NBA All-Star Weekend was dominated by Fox News' Laura Ingraham's rant about LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Fuller discusses the controversy and what this means for the "stick to sports" criticism often made about athletes weighing in on politics.
