Remember when this series started out being about street races? Pepperidge Farms remembers. With the 8th film in the franchise, Director F. Gary Gray manages to keep the crazy shenanigans this series is known for intact and also keep the casts camradery intact as well. It makes for a very fun and entertaining film overall. You won't be disappointed. 3BG rating: 4 outta of 5
Vin's first big hit and the movie that said "Sure, let's have him kill CGI bugs, we got nothing to lose." And then they made profit.
Dee and CJ chat it up about Wrestlemania weekend. This was a PPV full of surprises and an ending that made folks be in their feelings. They also touch upon TNA happenings, NJPW events, and random odds and ends. Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks
It's amazing how beloved this movie is. Maybe its the comedy of Eddie Murphy, maybe it's the mystic Asian magic, maybe it's the 80s cheese, or maybe just maybe you only saw this movie once and you didn't want to be the only person in the room who didn't like the movie. Look, whatever reason you have more than likely we covered it for you. Thank you to the fans who voted for this movie.
So the Power Rangers film has been out for awhile and is doing real well so CJ, Prime, Average Joe, and Dee decide to talk spoilers and give their thoughts on the film and also theorize on where this movie franchise can possibly go. Twitter: @PrimeGundam @AverageJoeArt @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks
Hollywood doesn't really have a great track record when it comes to doing live action films based on anime. Only twice have they accomplished in doing great adaptations with Speed Racer and Guyver: Dark Hero. So in comes Ghost In The Shell which despite it being a film thats all fluff and no substance, it manages to also not being an entirely horrible film. 3BG rating: 3 out of 10
South Korea did a revenge flick that has melodrama. Yeah, yeah I know you guess that already, but this is a good one tho. The guys close the month with this action movie that will have you on the edge of tears.
So we FINALLY get the last piece of the Defenders with Iron Fist. What we have is a show that ends up being just 'OK' at best. With underwhelming fight scenes, a handful of characters you care about, and a story that also ends up being underwhelming, yeah its definitely a dull watch. Twitter: @AverageJoeArt @3BlackGeeks
Quick Rundown: This Power Rangers movie turned out to be quite a surprise and a great addition to the franchise mythos. You have the core 5 cast who have great chemistry with one another with RJ Cyler being the breakout star. The action is serviceable and works for what the movie is accomplishing in giving us these rangers in action. Elizabeth Banks hams it up as Rita Repulsa and it works greatly. Overall this is an entertaining movie that will sneak up on you. 3BG rating: 6 out of 10 Twitter: @...
Filler is everywhere in Sailor Moon, you can't avoid it. So instead of running away from pointless episodes that don't move the story forward, we decide to talk about it. Ali and En fight, Moonlight Knight sucking butt, Monsters of the Day do jack, and Usagi remembers EVERYTHING! AND DIVA IS WITH US AGAIN!!!
We're back!!!! CJ and Dee run down the latest NFL offseason news and give our NCAA bracket choices.
One of the best action movies, not just in the 2010s but ever. And it wasn't produced in America, Hong Kong, or the UK. It's in Indonesia! Not only did this movie surprise audiences, but it also caused the Action genre to step its game up. God bless you, Gareth Evans. We talk about this new classic and why you don't f*ck with Mad Dog!
Kong: Skull Island unlike Godzilla, manages to strike a fine balance between the human characters and Kong himself which results in a movie that's is really entertaining and fun to watch. They waste no time giving you King Kong but the island the characters are on is also the highlight as well. John C. Reilly ends up stealing the show but Sam Jackson is right behind him as well. Definitely a must-see movie. 3BG rating: 7 out of 10
If you're gonna do a month on Asian Cinema you have to do a Hong Kong Police drama. This time Sammo Hung is the bad guy and Donnie Yen is the star. We are not worthy.
After a week of letting it marinate and because folks asked, we finally do a spoiler discussion of Get Out. We break down our thoughts on the film, takeaways, and overall theories. Twitter: @3BlackGeeks @SuperSel0320
Unlike previous X-Men films that kept the strong tradition of delivering in the first half of the movie only for the second half of the movie to shit the bed, Logan actually stays consistent from beginning to end. Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen and Patrick Stewart were all good...hell very good at times and X-23 ends up stealing the movie. The downside though is that the pacing is DULL. The plot, DULL. Backstory, ALMOST NON-EXISTANT. And as always...mutant powers misused. End of the day, Manigold made...
We end this month with an underrated movie from the 90s. Omar Epps goes undercover to stop the drug lord GOD. How will he stop GOD and will he lose himself trying to stop him? We also talk about Nia Long being cursed, Hill Harper, and Ohio drug dealers with NY accents.
So back in 95, Saban wanted to capitalize on the HUGE popularity of MMPR so we as fans were graced with this movie. Lets just say despite it giving you what you want out of a Power Rangers film at the time, it hasn't held up so much especially with the new movie coming out. So sit back as Prime, CJ, Dee, and DJ Tsu dive into this film. Twitter: @PrimeGundam @3BlackGeeks @DeeTheBlackGeek @BlkNerdJapan
Quick overview: Folks this is a damn good movie that disposes of all the conventional horror movie tropes and does something fresh and new with the genre while also having a lowkey commentary on our society. Great cinematography, great acting, great music, and just an all around great experience. Go see this movie! 3BG rating: 10 out of 10 Twitter: @SuperSel0320 @3BlackGeeks
With the upcoming Fox movie Logan on the horizon, the guys alongside @Ljay90 from the Threefifs podcast to talk about Mark Millar's 2008 comic, Old Man Logan. Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @Ljay90 @3BlackGeeks Check out the Threefifs podcast. Great content. http://threefifspodcast.com/
Time for a black comic book movie. Well kinda. I doubt the Black Delegation wants a poorly told story with dog shit cgi. That being said we finally get this comic classic.
Fist Fight ends up being really funny with a decent plot. Charlie Day was hilarious, Cube was surprisingly VERY funny. Some of the humor might cross a line but that's a good thing. Jillian Bell came close to stealing the movie twice. Barely a dull moment. Well worth the watch. 7 out of 10 Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks
Jim Kelly is a true legend in black cinema. From his iconic afro to his famous yell, Jim is remembered for all the right reasons. His movies? ...meh, but follow us as we talk about his most infamous movie.
Plenty of TV shows reach that point where folks end up growing tired of it because it didn't match the quality of the previous seasons. Well, Arrow ran into that with Season 3 and 4. Is it as bad as folks say it is? Not really. Dee and CJ talk at length about both these seasons. Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks
Well the Super Bowl happened which CJ and Dee go over and ponder how the Falcons botched it up and the Patriots took advantage of it. Also the guys go over the Wizards/Cavaliers game, Lebron/Barkley, and the Charles Oakley situation. Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks
70'sEVERY MOVIE STARRING A RAPPER DID THIS EXACT SAME PLOT! Black Action Month is starting off with a bang this year. We review a negro classic. A story of a Pimp Drug Dealer taking on the man. We also learn that our Parents lied to us, this movie is Belly without the Africa subplot.
Another eventful Royal Rumble weekend. We dive right into the weekend. Evolve, New Japan, NXT, DDT Pro and of course WWE. Also like always D gets pissed off at wrestling fans.
Sat down with Samuel Stevquoah who is the Creator & Producer of "Mill City's Finest," an action adventure animated web-series themed around cultural diversity and self growth. Hear as he talks about the origins of the series, the characters, and random odds and ends on geek stuff. Check out his material: Facebook.com/mcfseries Trailer for the series will drop soon.
Seagal killed a lot of different POC. I mean a lot of POC! So it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he would be pitted versus the Jamaicans. Jamaicans with voodoo powers...SHUT UP! IT WAS THE 90'S!
Kickin off 2017 right as Prime and CJ talk about the latest Power Rangers movie trailer, Gaven/Dekaranger teamup movie, the Dino Super Charge finale, and Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
