CBC - Marvel's Civil War

Civil War is an event that in concept is good. For awhile in the Marvel Universe, heroes were able to do their job without much interference from the gov't. Sure every once in awhile they have a liason to see what the heroes do but for the most part there was no checks and balances. In comes this event which set the tone on whether heroes should be able to do what they do with no regulation.

Last Action Hero

So there was a time where Arnold made a parody movie of sorts but in a different way. Whereas a majority of parody movies are done in an intentional comedic way, Last Action Hero does it in a very tongue in cheek way. This is a movie that nails every action movie trope and even comments on some of them as well. Despite the lukewarm reception, this movie is a very solid, fun flick to watch.

WrestleCorner - It Was Tuesday

Wherein CJ and Dee breakdown the fallout from Night of Champions/Monday Night Raw. Also TNA/GFW and NJPW!!!!! Yay!!!!

BAM - You Suck Sonic!

Sonic the Hedgehog much like Mario is a beloved franchise and icon. Throughout the years the series has had its share of ups and downs. More recently it had its fair share of down moments. Even with that, the franchise is still alive and kicking somehow. Thats the power of Sonic!

Sep 24, 20152 hr 12 min

Passenger 57

Wesley Snipes is just that damn good of an action star and Passenger 57 is a simple action flick that showcases everything you need to know about Snipes. Add on Bruce Payne who knows how to play a scenery chewing villain and some well done action and you have a fairly entertaining flick.

Sep 21, 20151 hr 25 min

Set It Off

Its rare to get a movie starring 4 black women who are very strong and capable. Set It Off is a movie thats sort of realistic on the characters in terms of what they go through in life. Its what happens when these characters decide to take life by the balls and jump start it by robbing banks. Pretty good action and a standard plot where you'll see story points coming a mile away.

Morphin Metacast - How to kill a franchise AKA Power Rangers Turbo

Most people left Power Rangers around the first season. Some right around Zeo but Turbo? Yeah Power Rangers Turbo was the season that literally pushed the franchise to the brink of pretty much being dead in the water. A season that tried to take the wackiness of the Carranger sentai and make a serious season out of it and the results was a very hit and miss affair.

3BGClassic- The Five Heartbeats

This is probably one of the better movies about a music group and the crazy part is that its entirely fictional. What makes this movie work is that despite it hitting some tropes that you see in musical documentaries, it nails the characters and their struggles.

Sep 08, 20151 hr 59 min

The Fast and Furious series

Well this is what you've been waiting for. This is a series of movies that progressively got insane and crazy with the plot and cars. It used to be about the pink slips but then it turned into a full on heist flick. Yet somehow despite all this, we got 7 entertaining movies out the deal.

Artist Alley - Leon Langford

So CJ sits down with Leon Langford who is writer of the Static Shock short, Electrogenesis and also creator of a new book, Street Slam. Definitely a must listen.

Aug 29, 20151 hr 10 min

Not Another Teen Movie

Parody movies come and go but there used to be a time where parody movies were actually good. Not Another Teen Movie is one of them. Taking all the tropes from teen movies of the 80's and 90's, this flick hits on all the classic stuff but its done in such a way where its legit funny.

Aug 25, 20151 hr 19 min

WrestleCorner - That's My Purse!!!!

Wherein we go over the NJPW G1 climax tournament, Field of Honor matchups, NXT Brooklyn, TNA shenanigans, and Summerfest...I mean Summerslam!

Aug 22, 20151 hr 52 min

Spiderman Trilogy

Quite possibly the movie that really emphasized that these comic book movies could work, the Raimi Spiderman trilogy echoed the old school Stan Lee era of Spidey books where its campy and fun in a good and entertaining way. Despite the trilogy sputtering out at the end with Spiderman 3, its still a trilogy thats worth a watch.

Aug 17, 20151 hr 56 min

CBC- Fantastic Four 2015

So we're on our third attempt on a Fantastic Four movie. Does the flick live up to the hype and controversy? Tune in and find out!

Aug 11, 20152 hr 28 min

The Crow

Its amazing how the mythology of a movie gets huge when an actor dies and The Crow is no exception. Brandon Lee died during production and it cast a huge hype train on the movies release. This movie definitely lived up the hype. A very basic revenge story that works well across the board from the action to the acting.

Aug 10, 20151 hr 33 min

BAM- Dee and DjTsu use to Rap Part 1

Much like Black Bible Black this is one of many stories of Dee and DjTsu's wild adventures as...(sigh)...hiphop artist. On this adventure they learn that chucking mixtapes at a HipHop Summit about financial responsibility is ALWAYS worth doing.

Aug 04, 20151 hr 5 min

Morphin Metacast - Power Rangers Zeo

Quite possibly one of the more popular seasons of Power Rangers, Zeo was an action packed season that progressed the Zordon Era story. Characters experienced lots of growth, stakes were high at times, and we had bad guys who at times managed to put a wrinkle in the rangers plans. Solid season front to back.

Aug 04, 20152 hr 55 min

The Incredibles

For most people, the Incredibles is a solid superhero flick. A fun, family friendly movie that hits on some serious stuff at times. We're given a range of characters who are going through personal issues that your average person can relate to to an extent. Excellent cast and characters and the animation is solid as well.

Aug 03, 20151 hr 11 min

The Mask

Jim Carrey has always been a funny comedian. One of the greats even. The Mask is one of those movies that really showed the wackiness of Carrey big time. It took a lot from the Tex Avery cartoons and it has some moments where its laugh out loud funny. Other than that, the movie definitely has padded out lots of the plot for the sake of extending the time.

Jul 27, 20151 hr 49 min

CBC- AntMan

One of the big things coming out of the MCU movies was when were we gonna see the Antman character. Specifically Hank Pym. He was one of the founding members of the Avengers and there was rumors of the character and Wasp being in the original draft of the Avengers movie. But as with anything we had to wait till the character was announced. Well we got AntMan but its the Scott Lang incarnation. Not necessarily a bad thing cause the character actually has an excellent origin. So come along with us...

Jul 22, 20152 hr 3 min

Flashpoint Paradox

Based on the comic of the same name, this movie is very Flash focused which is a big change of pace. Normally with DC animated movies it either Batman, Superman, or Justice League focused. At any rate, Flashpoint paradox tells the tale of what happens when you mess with events of the past and how it effects the future. This movie more or less shows the world in a chaotic mess but its so good.

Jul 20, 20151 hr 14 min

WrestleCorner - Stay F***ing Calm

Wherein the guys talk about the aftermath of the recent Monday Night Raw, random WWE news, Global Force Wrestling, NJPW, TNA, and the NXT ladies putting in work.

Jul 17, 20151 hr 29 min

White People Problems aka SDCC 2015 review

San Diego Comic Con has came and gone and man was it chock full of good news. So sit back as we break down all the comic book related newsworthy stuff.

Jul 14, 20153 hr 27 min

Batman: Under The Red Hood

Quite possibly the best Batman movie from an animated standpoint. Under the Red Hood managed to take a convoluted character with a convoluted background like Red Hood and completely rejuvinate it. Its a simple movie that really hits home on the action and story.

Jul 14, 20151 hr 45 min

Artist Alley - BlackChivalrousNerd

CJ sits down with a fellow regular guest BlackChivalrousNerd as he talks about his beginnings as a thespian and boy does he have stories to tell. Check it out.

Mystery Men

The late 90's going into early 2000's was a transitional period for comic book movies. Batman and Robin killed the genre but yet we were still getting these movies. In comes Mystery Men which didn't market itself as a comic book movie and despite what it was trying to do, it bombed in theaters yet it developed a cult following. Its a quirky movie to be sure and it has its funny moments.

Jul 07, 20151 hr 15 min

Generation X/Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD

The 90's was a very weird time for Marvel comic tv/movie properties. While DC was busy cleaning house with the Batman flicks, Marvel had some live action stuff that frankly wasn't good. Right around the time they were about to go bankrupt, they sold there characters rights to different studios from Sony to Fox. Generation X and Nick Fury tv movies came from the minds at Fox and the quality was very bad. Between Generation X being a just horrible movie to Nick Fury being just 'meh', things didn't...
