DjTsu and Dee take you beautiful people down a dark road that many anime fan are acutely aware of. The world Bible Black! They also talk SkinaMax; sexual culture of Japan and America; a bit of hentai history; and other tid-bits. It's very informative and VERY Rated X so...fair warning.
So the first experiment in Marvel doing a full blown Netflix series on superheroes kicks off with a hero that had a bit of a shaky past in media. Ben Affleck donned the mask and pulled off a decent movie which had a better version on home video. So here we are with Charlie Cox pulling off the role of Matt Murdoch/Daredevil and he does a damn good job along with the supporting cast of Vincent D'Nofrio, Rosario Dawson, Vonde Curtis Hall, and Elden Henson.
Wherein we talk about the legend that is Dusty Rhodes, Money in the Bank/Raw aftermath, the awesomeness that is NOAH/NJPW, and WTF is up with TNA.
Wherein we put the nail in the coffin and talk about the Schumacher era flicks of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
Wherein we talk about the first two Tim Burton Bat flicks, Batman and Batman Return.
DjTsu and Dee dive into their first some with video games. They talk about Konami and others failing us. Also they talk about fighting games and some I'm sure you never heard of.
We end the month on a movie that started Chan's rise to prominence in America. Rumble in the Bronx is the movie that showed the audience how awesome Chan was. Lots of crazy stunts and fights. On top of that you got some sketchy dubbing and an out there story thats forgettable.
Yet again Jackie Chan finds himself doing a genre that TONS of movies have done before. You might think it's ripping straight from Indiana Jones somewhat but Jackie Chan and co. manage to make it very lighthearted. Sure the stakes are there but the comedic nature of Chan on top of the martial arts action makes it a fun watch.
Wherein we talk about the fallout from the WWE Payback PPV, TNA possibly being gone again, New Japan shenanigans, and how awesome Kevin Owens is.
Just a quick update on the status of the podcast. Its a must listen!!!
If Stallone has the Rocky series and Bruce Willis has the Die Hard series then Jackie Chan owns the Police Story series as well. Chan throughout this series plays the ultimate Supercop who defies everything for the sake of getting the job done and catching the bad guy. These first two movies show it firsthand. Lots of crazy stunts and awesome action all around.
What can we say about Jackie Chan that hasn't already been said. The man has a stellar career and can put on a good show and this movie shows it in spades. Chan is at his best when he's bouncing off other actors and pairing him with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao is just genius.
And then came a day where we as the movie going audience was graced with another Avengers movie and this time it was awesome. Great performances from Spader as Ultron even to the main cast. Non-stop action and a story that sets the stage for Phase 3 of the MCU.
One of the most underrated movies in Arnold's career. Its very surprising how good this movie turns out. Great acting from everyone from Vanessa Williams to James Caan. Yeah it gets hokey at points but its one of those times you just shrug and let it go.
Extreme Rules is upon us and what we have is a PPV peppered with gimmick matches good and bad. We also chat about recent NJPW events happening and TNA shenanigans yet again.
If you thought Avengers Disassembled had some mind fuckery well get ready for the mother of all mind fuckery. A continuation of Disassembled, House of M was a story that had long term ramifications for the Marvel Universe specifically with the mutants.
Its amazing to see a series go from 0 to 100 real quick(LOL see what we did there) and the Crank series managed to do it. While the first movie was very subtle despite the craziness, the second movie was just self aware of its stupidity and ran with it. Shenanigans abouds from these movies.
We all love JCVD but when he has a legit bad movie, we all weep in sadness. It doesn't help that the plot of this movie doesn't make a lick of sense and we honestly don't give two craps about the characters. Also we got Uncle Paulie and Rob Schneider along for the ride. Swell!!!
Lord have mercy. Every year the WWE does there best to put on a great PPV with Wrestlemania but its rare to see a show pumping on all cylinders from beginning to end. Everything that you wanted to happen actually happened. Good matches all around and lots of surprises along the way. Definitely a great time to be a wrestling fan.
In the world of anime especially with tv shows, you hope that your show catches on with the masses so that it will continue. Well in the case of Tenjou Tenge it was a situation where nobody gave a crap about the show despite the manga being good. Full of characters that range from giving a crap about to just not caring which is a shame cause the show had sooo much potential of being good.
With Wrestlemania 31 ramping up, CJ and Dee take a look at the matches. Also we chat a little about New Japan Wrestling and TNA shenanigans. Also BULLET CLUB!!!!
Mario and Sonic stand as iconic figures in video game history and its very rare to ever reach that status. One game series managed to leave its mark and give us a characters that indeed reached it and his name is Kratos. Throughout 3 games and some side story games, we've followed this character going through many hardships and its a helluva ride. The road is paved wth blood when it comes to this character.
The movie that began Seagal not giving a shit. Ultimately we have a movie that's just average in action and underutilized the shit out of Michael Jai White. It's a decent entertaining movie but wow oh wow is it bad.
Another WWE PPV in the bag that is more or less a placeholder to hype up Wrestlemania. We break down the show along with New Japan Wrestling, some NXT talk, and random Wrestling odds and ends.
Michael Jai White is one of those action stars who doesn't get enough credit for how solid he is. He has the presence and charisma that makes you like him. Blood and Bone is a prime example of him showing this. It's a simple movie with a plot that for the most part works. Great cast and great fighting choreography AND we got Rufio in this movie cause fuck it we love Dante Basco.
EA struck gold twice with a simple concept: Having rappers from the Def Jam label fight each other using a fighting engine seen in the Nintendo 64 AKI wrestling games. The Vendetta series peaked at Fight for NY and EA pretty much killed the series with Icon. Damn shame at the end of the day.
Black westerns are few and far between to get shown but when it does happen, you got some good ones that come down the pipeline. This movie is one of them. Directed by the great Mario Van Peebles who also did New Jack City, Posse is one of those movies that had a solid story backed up by an all-star cast of actors old and new.
So it FINALLY happened...Sony broke bread with Disney/Marvel and managed to make a deal that gets Spiderman in the MCU. We tackle this news and also throw our own spin on how things will go down.
Quite possibly a good starting point for anyone getting into Marvel comics, this storyline was pretty much the end of an era when it came to the 80's and 90's era of Avengers. Full of mindfuckery of a storyline, this event comic plays like an old-school action flick. Quick plot progression and tons of action.
Quite possibly the most simple plotline in movies that you can get and it makes sense cause its a blaxsploitation movie. But beyond that though, this movie is bad but in a good way. You enjoy the shenanigans that Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson get away with in this movie all for the sake of taking down the white man.
