GLOW (Netflix series) Season 1 recap

Back in the late 80's, a wrestling promotion was started called GLOW(Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) which spotlighted women doing entertaining wrestling much like the men. In comes Netflix who decided to do a semi-comedic take on the formation of this promotion and it turned out to be quite entertaining and captivating. So sit back as the guys talk about this series and its future. Twitter: @SuperSel0320 @MoeCrosby @3BlackGeeks

Morphin Metacast - Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

Called one of the worst seasons of Power Rangers, Operation Overdrive had potential to be a really good season. The problem is that you're given characters that you don't care for(save for 3 of them) and bad guys that don't really do anything worth of damn except for Moltor. So yeah what you have is 32 episodes of just blandness and thats even with the anniversary teamup.

Transformers The Last Knight movie review

Fives movies into this franchise and at least on the action Michael Bay has improved. Story wise? Not so much which is a shame cause The Last Knight had potential to be really good on that end. What we have is a movie thats decently entertaining but the addition of Marky Mark's personal subplot kills the main plot momentum. If you know what you're getting into with these Bay movies, you'll like it otherwise if it isn't your thing then don't watch it. 3BG rating: 2 outta 5

Transformers The Movie (1986)

With the upcoming Transformers The Last Knight film coming out, we thought it was perfect timing to talk about the 1986 Transformers movie. Its easy to tout this movie as great but honestly its not but the movie knows its whole aim is to sell toys. Either which way you have a wonky film that was made to kickstart new characters and ditch the old.

The Last Dragon

So after years of putting it off we finally tackle The Last Dragon. This is a movie that just oozed everything about the 80's from the fashion right down to the soundtrack which was basically artist from Barry Gordy's Motown label. Movie may be cheesy but you know what? Its still an entertaining film that's fun to watch.

Wonder Woman review

After 1 polarizing film and 2 films that soured folks on the DCEU, here we have Wonder Woman swooping in to save the day. This film is really good and what makes it work is how simple they kept things. It didn't need to be ridiculously complicated. Gal Gadot nails Diana/Wonder Woman perfectly and her supporting cast does the job as well. Definitely a must see film. 3BG rating: 4 out of 5

Morphin Metacast - Power Rangers Mystic Force

What happens when you mix Power Rangers with the magic sensibilities of Harry Potter? You get Power Rangers Mystic Force. What we have is a season that is written very tight with not much leeway in terms of character depth mainly because this season was only 32 episodes. So while some characters got some shine, others didn't. Not a bad thing but it would've helped. Overall its an enjoyable enough season to watch.

Alien Covenant Review

Movie Review....Slightly better than Prometheus but that isn't saying much. What you have is a film that ultimately ends up being 'meh' and you're laughing at it for the wrong reasons. Tread carefully with this one folks. 3BG rating: 2 out of 5 Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks

Me, Myself, and Irene

What can we say about the Farrelly brothers...More often than not they can put together a movie with a weird premise and make it funny. Me, Myself, and Irene is one of those movies. This film takes full advantage of the insanity of what Jim Carrey can do comedic wise. On top of that you have a good supporting cast in Anthony Anderson, Tony Cox, Renee Zellweger, and Robert Forrester. All around what you got is a funny movie that still holds up.

Morphin Metacast| Power Rangers SPD

Time Force dabbled a bit on the police theme of Power Rangers so SPD expands on it more so with a full blown season dedicated to it.
