3BlackGeeks Podcast

Ever since the Generation X pilot movie from the 90's, FOX has been trying to get an X-men tv show off the ground. They managed to start this off with Legion and now we have a second show in The Gifted. Does this show do the X-men property justice? Tune in to find out.

Another October and another M.Night movie. Shyamalalama blessed us with this gem of a movie, Mel Gibson losing his faith and then aliens show up. D and Cj go into this review with DjTsu listening. (Cuz doing a Dj gig in Shibuya is WAY more important than reviewing a old movie) So sit back and listen to D and Cj belittle M.Night's writing.

Most movies that are sequels to a beloved and well known movie tends to be of three categories: Either its really good, really bad, or mediocre as hell. Fortunately Blade Runner 2049 falls into the really good category. What we have is a film that has a solid plot that expands on the first film, really good cinematography, and great acting from everyone. Only hiccup is that its too damn long clocking in at 2 hours and 40 minutes. Not a big deal but just aware of how long you'll be in the theater for this movie. 3BG rating: 4.5 out of 5

So we finally make it to the final Disney era Power Rangers season and boy did they go out with a bang. Much like with Power Rangers In Space, RPM was a season where clearly the writers had tons of leeway to do whatever show they wanted. Disney at the time was investing heavily in Marvel so the Power Rangers license was whatever to them. What we end up getting is easily one of the best seasons of this franchise.

The guys recap NFL Week 3 and talk about the NFL coming together and kneeling while also completely missing the point, NCAA football and Blue Chips scandal, NBA media weekend, and our NFL picks for Week 4.

Anthony Willis, composer of platforming adventure Knack 2 which is out now in stores. Channeling his extensive background in animated and adventure films, Willis diverted from the classical orchestral sound of the first game to create something more modular and percussive, something with a unique and ever-changing energy that could match the constantly-evolving nature and surroundings of the game's protagonist. Willis also had a hand in composing music for Birth of a Nation and Pirates of the Carribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales. So sit back and enjoy this informative interview.

WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK MONTH (A.K.A- STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT WHITE PEOPLE) Birdemic...what do you want me to freakin' say? Well, I coul- Ah! I hear a mountain lion!

We talk about Kyrie on First Take, the week in the NFL and NCAA football, KD making dummy accounts, we talk about the WNBA and we make our weekly picks

So the much anticipated followup to Kingsman The Secret Service is finally here and it turns out to be a very solid followup with a few hiccups. On one hand the action and story is a wild ride with some twists you'll see coming and others you won't see. On the other hand though, the movie at times feels like its trying to one up the previous film with the action and the movie is a bit too long. Either way you'll enjoy the movie overall and won't regret it. 3BG rating: 3.5 out of 5

WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK MONTH (A.K.A- STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT WHITE PEOPLE) This review has gone to the dogs. (BOOOO!) Again we have man trying to make the ultimate machine! This time with a dog. It has the eye sight of hawk, swallows like a snake, jumps with bad cgi and other powers. We also talk about white women and dogs, Doggy Batman vs Superman, Doggy rape, White Privilege, That's yo ass Mr. Postman and puppets!

When it comes to anime adaptations, Hollywood really hasn't been on good terms. As we've covered before your mileage varies but more often than not they end up being bad. In comes Death Note which ends up being a competent movie thats hampered by the fact that its a shell of the anime/manga its based off of.

American Assassin is the typical action movie which is different from the vibe the trailers gave off. Michael Keaton and Dylan O'Brien do a pretty good job with there respective characters though O'Brien does tend to get one-dimensional at times. Sanaa Lathan is serviceable in her role. Same with Taylor Kitsch. The movie gets a bit tropey at times and you basically end up seeing where the movie is going once the plot starts going. Its one of those movies that ultimately ends up being one of those "Waste the afternoon" type of films. 3BG score: 2.5 out of 5

Dee and CJ recap the happenings of opening weekend of the 2017 NFL season. Lots of surprise upsets that could possibly tell an interesting story for the season but we'll see. We also talk about the Jemele Hill/ESPN situation, Sloane Stephens, Serena making her comeback after popping out her baby, and ending things off with our Week 2 NFL picks.

WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK MONTH (A.K.A- STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT WHITE PEOPLE) We now jump into the cold unforgiving waters of Deep Blue Sea. A movie that kinda saved Renny Harlin's career...kinda. In this podcast we hit all the points, Smart ass Sharks, LL's plot armor, One liners, missed opportunities and why you can't rap about everything!

Defenders has arrived culminating from 4 Netflix shows and giving us 4 characters that come together to save New York on a smaller scale. The show succeeds mainly because the 8 episodes keeps the pacing going quick and easy and it also ends up making Danny Rand/Iron Fist much better than his solo outing. So sit back and enjoy this giant size episode.

We give predictions on Week 1 of the NFL, we talk about the upsets in College football, Zeke Elliott, Riddick Bowe and other things in sports

WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK MONTH (A.K.A- STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT WHITE PEOPLE) We begin this month with an ape movie that feels like a B-Movie. NO WAY! A movie where you only care about Ernie Hudson and Amy the Gorilla. We talk about Tim Curry's fucked up accent, Speak-N-Spells, Harambe, Hotep Gorillas, Ernie Hundson being a beast and White People fucking with Nature.

Voltron Legendary Season 3 has came and went and we finally get a chance to talk about our fav moments from this great season and we also touch upon things that happened in the previous 2 seasons as well. Also check out our interviews with the Executive Producers and the voice cast from SDCC 2017 on our Youtube page. Fun times. Be sure to hit us up with those 5 Star reviews on itunes and we'll read them on air. Also contact us at [email protected] for any questions and/or comments.

We got a chance to talk to a few great people at Otakon. We spoke to voice actors Sandy Fox, Tony Oliver, Vic Mignogna, Michael Sinternaklass and Michelle Ruff; Cosplayer Stella Chuu and Author Roland Kelts.

We're off of filler and now on to canon that is Sailor Moon R. We talk about Mamoru's ugly ass jacket, the Ayakashi sisters, Sailor Pluto being bored, the monsters of the day, Wiseman being Steve Bannon and us breaking down other parts of the saga the only way we know how. ALSO DIVA IS BACK WITH US!!!

On this edition of Wrestlecorner we go over the 3 big wrestling events of the summer. NJPW- G1 Climax 27, NXT Takerover Brooklyn III and Summerslam.

We talk about have a full on run down of the NFL season, we talk Zeke, the Thomas-Irving trade and of course Floyd vs. Conor. (We apologize for the quality of the episode, we had a tough time recording)

We take our third tour of Yoshiaki Kawajiri here on 3Blackgeeks, this time with a classic among otaku. For what reasons its a classic is...because it was shown on Showtime and Sci Fi in 90's that's why. We talk about "The Glow", monsters, Kawajiri repeating designs, plot armor, a racist af voice over and a one hit kill!

Well this film turned out to be entertaining. There was so much that this movie could've did to shoot itself in the foot with the premise. The movie ultimately ends up working as an action comedy. Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson work well together, Salma Hayek is the real MVP of the movie, and Gary Oldman acts his ass off as the main bad guy. Only downside to the film is that the tone ends up being all over the place. One minute its an action comedy romp then the film gets serious out of nowhere which tends to take you out the movie for a minute. Overall its a fun watch. 3BG rating: 3.5 out of 5

CJ and PrimeGundam talk about all the comic book and movie news coming out of SDCC 2017 and get into the happenings in the comic world of DC and Marvel.

Deadzone, Bojack Unbound and Broly the Second Coming...all three represent stages in the evolution of Gohan on Dragonball Z. We talk about Piccolo ready to run them hands, Bojack sucking, Goku breaking the rules of heaven and of Dragonball Z, Namakian cultural appropriation and of course Gohan.

We visit a mind fuck of an anime, Satoshi Kon's classic Perfect Blue. We talk about Pop Stars, the Disney image, Japanese life and other stuff. We're savage as usual but you expect that.

Long story short, Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey give great performances but the story was lacking. They set up this interesting world but don't even fully explore it. Instead they tease it and leave you wanting to see and know more. If you're a Stephen King fan you'll be disappointed. 3BG rating: 2 out of 5

Coming off of Operation Overdrive, Disney was coming to a crossroads with the franchise. They had just bought Marvel and the writers strike was on the horizon. So in comes Jungle Fury which despite the outside issues managed to become a very underrated season. Much like Mystic Force, it manages to tell a very condensed story and get straight to the point. It has its issues but it doesn't take away from the entertainment this season provides.

With Season 3 of Young Justice underway, Executive Producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti and Character designer Phil Bourassa sat down and gave some indepth tidbits about the upcoming season and the process in delivering storylines for this show. Lots of good information to listen to.

Dee and CJ are back to recap the Money in the Bank PPV and the Great Balls of Fire PPV. They also go over the El Patron/Paige saga(lol), Global Force Wrestling Takeover, preview the G1 Climax, GFW Slammiversary, and G1 United States special. Lots to unpack but sit back and give it a listen. *Sidenote: The audio gets a bit choppy early in this episode but it clears up*

With the success of Arrow, it was only a matter of time for CW to try and do another show with a new hero. In comes The Flash which basically ended up being a huge hit. Right off the bat the show went all in and embraced the comic book nature of the character and all the lore. Very fun show and the guys talk about these 3 seasons.

So Spiderman Homecoming blew up big as expected so alongside @AverageJoeArt and @PrimeGundam, we go indepth on this film and talk about the pros and cons, theories, and easter eggs. Sit back and enjoy!

So American Gods happened and we ended up talking about this first season and run down everything we enjoyed and other key aspects of this series. Lots to unpack so sit back and enjoy the listen. Twitter: @Earth2ComicCast @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks

After making his mark in Civil War, Spiderman is back with another solo movie but this time its set in the MCU. Homecoming is a very good title for this film because its indeed a big deal seeing Spiderman interact with his corner of the MCU. We finally get a Peter Parker dealing with legit high school stuff and it isn't glossed over. On top of that he's also dealing with a legit good villain in The Vulture. Overall this is a solid movie that puts the focus on Peter Park/Spiderman and his corner of the MCU world. 3BG rating: 4.5 out of 5

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

Joined by @ChivalrousNerd, CJ and Dee navigate the 2017 NBA draft, some offseason NBA trades, minor NFL news, and a pregnant Black olympic runner kicking ass!

So we finally get to yet another movie we put off and despite us taking the piss out of it, its actually a genuinely fine film at the end of the day despite out ridiculous the ending is. Its been awhile since we've done a black cinema film but when we do it, we have fun so enjoy the ride!

Another year and another AwesomeCon in the books. Dee and CJ talk about the happenings at this years convention and also talk about NegroCon which was a side event that happened as well. Also we got some surprises at the start of this episode so its definitely worth a listen.

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.

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

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.

Wonder Woman has been out for some weeks now so we finally start diving deep into spoilers and give our full blown complaints, grievances, praises, and predictions of where the character's future is in the DCEU. Also...Aye WB, PAY PATTY JENKINS!!!! Twitter: @AverageJoeArt @Bainst06 @BGBgroup @3blackgeeks

Dee and CJ are back to talk about the NBA Finals and all the stories coming out of the phenomenal win from the Golden State Warriors. They also touch on some NFL news, some baseball, and Mayweather/McGregor finally happening.

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.

Okay so the Black Panther teaser trailer dropped and sweet jesus is it so damn good. What started out as just us doing a quick talk on this turned into 90 minutes of us just sitting back in amazement of what was presented to us. Black Panther is gonna be lit!!!! Twitter: @3BlackGeeks @SuperSel0320 @Earth2ComicCast

So another Extreme Rules PPV in the books and it turned out to be a pretty entertaining one at that. Dee and CJ talk about the PPV and surrounding stories, briefly talk about the Mae Young classic and NJPW stuff, and continue joking about the Great Balls of Fire PPV. lol Twitter: @DeeTheBlackGeek @3BlackGeeks

First up, Dee and CJ got a chance to talk to Marcus Williams and Greg Burnham, creators of the Tuskegee Heirs comic. Great book and the first issue has officially dropped. Afterwards CJ, Prime, and Blackwing talk about comic book cancellations, sales, Secret Empire/Hydra Cap, and DC Rebirth. Lots of to unpack so sit back and enjoy the ride! List of books that was talked about: Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill #1-3 Secret Empire #0-3 Captain America: Steve Rogers Lazarus Contract consisting of - Titans #11 - Teen Titans #8 - Deathstroke #19 - Titans Annual: The Lazarus Contract #1 Legion of Three Worlds Legion of Superheroes (1989-2000) JLA: Rock of Ages Justice League of America (1960-1987) #183-185

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

We end this month is a sweet movie. No seriously it's a sweet story. Only like 4 fight scenes and 50 plus year old Jackie falling in love with a teenager. Oh shut up, it's a wholesome goddamn it!
