Time Force was the first time in the Power Rangers franchise where a show pretty much follows the sentai beat for beat. Other than some minor tweaks, we were given a show that had a story that was interesting and captured your attention from beginning to end. So sit back as CJ and Prime chat it up about this show.

We finally slay the dragon of "When are you guys gonna do (blank)?" A dragon so big we call in our boy Cj to help Me and DjTsu. So in this one get ready for us to talk about Jody being a pussy, HOTEP writing with Ghetto af results, The DC and Fast and Furious Universe being connected, magical oral, off set wheels on a FUCKING HONDA ACCORD, no one calling the cops and "FUCK YO PUNK ASS DADDY!!!"

The initial release of Batman V Superman was met with very lukewarm results. We had a movie with lots of potential that ended up being 'meh'. So months later we finally get the Ultimate Cut that honestly improves the movie. We have a debate style show where we give the pros and cons of the flick and whether it'll change the minds of people that were sour on the movie.

The Grand Theft Auto series has always been a consistent and fun franchise. San Andreas was the third part of the GTA III era and was quite possibly the most ambitious game in the franchise by far. Spanning three big cities, a very evolved game system, and a story that was good in its own right, GTA San Andreas was just top to bottom excellence. Sit back as the guys get nostalgic on this game.

Part 1- We talk the Family curse that makes you wanna cry. Or at least watch Otacon cry endlessly Part 2- We give a brief take on e3 (In other words just Sony. We shallow)

What can be said about SNK...A company that for years gave us classic games such as Metal Slug, KOF, Fatal Fury, Super Dodgeball, Art of Fighting, Neo Turk Masters, and so much more. The guys talk about the history of this great company and look back on the fond memories with the games.

DC comics has always dabbled in the elsewhere stories putting the heroes in different situations and seeing how they respond to it. Injustice Gods Among Us is no different. Add in the fact that its a fighting game and damn good one and you have the recipe for a very entertaining game pitting your fav DC heroes and villains against each other. So sit back and relax as the guys talk about this great game.

Indie comics are an amazing thing. More often than not you'll come across interesting characters and books that don't get the recognition compared to mainstream comics. CJ had the pleasure to interview two gentlemen who have indie comics( P.B. Soldier and E.X.O. The Legend of Wale Williams) that are pretty damn good. Sit back as these two guys break down their respective books. P.B.Soldier:www.pbsoldier.com E.X.O. The Legend of Wale Williams: youneekstudios.com

With the abundance of paranormal tv shows cropping up in droves, Dee and CJ sit down with Katrina and Nick of Paranormal Lockdown as they go into detail on what sets their show apart from the others. Fun interview and very insightful.

One part of AMC's Comic Book Men, we got an opportunity to talk to Ming Chen. He talks about how the crew got started on podcasting, the growth of comic book conventions and the life of working at a comic book store. Check it out and enjoy!!!

Smallville jumpstarted comic book based tv shows and with that came along a show based on the Emerald Archer, Arrow. Of course in doing a show like this you have to have an angle and this show initially did. Arrow took its tone from the Nolan Batman movies and the First season showed it. As the show continued into its Second season however is where it started evolving and embracing the comic book material. So sit back and listen as Dee and CJ reflect on the first 2 seasons of this awesome show.

CJ and Dee talk about the latest comic books they've been reading from the end of Darkseid Wars/DC Rebirth to the "controversial" Captain America #1.

Before we got the awesomeness that was Samurai Champloo, we were graced with another show based around samurai in the form of Rurouni Kenshin. Set during the Meji Era, the show traced a wandering samurai named Kenshin as he had various adventures and fights while also keeping his past as a killer behind him. Its a pretty solid show with the Kyoto arc being the pinnacle of the series.

Much like VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs was another Saban side project that was a success. Taking the footage from another Metal Heroes series called B-Fighter, Beetleborgs was essentially a very kid friendly version of that series with the added bonus of having interaction with the Universal monsters sort of. Its definitely different than VR Troopers and Power Rangers if only because the focus is more on the kids than anything.

Take one part Ninja Scroll, one part Romeo & Juliet, and one part Mortal Kombat which will give you the anime, Basilisk. This is a show that has a decently interesting plot that takes it cues from the Shakespeare classic. But honestly the real reason you watch the show is because of the characters and fights and this show delivers on it in spades.

The most highly anticipated movie next to Batman V Superman, Civil War succeeds in delivering everything across the board. You understand the characters motivations, the action is top notch, and the story progresses smoothly. Sit back and listen to us geek out about this greatness.

What can be said about a show set in a world where one guy can punch a person and they instantly explode and another guy that can literally slice you in half with his fingers? Yeah this is the world of Fist of the North Star where we are introduced to crazy ass martial arts, bizarre but interesting characters, and decent animation for the time. Sit back and listen as the boys talk about this crazy anime.

Wherein Dee and CJ talk about Payback 2016, wrestlers making the jump to WWE, Wrestling Dontaku, TNA STILL being in business, and other NJPW shenanigans.

Probably one of the most influential movies for a majority ofpeople, Akira definitely holds weight in the anime community. Thecharacters, plot, and animation is all good and despite the moviebeing way different than the manga, it manages to be able to end ofa decent note. So jump and listen as we explore this flick.

Legend of Drunken Master is a reboot of the Drunken Master series and a damn good entertaining movie. This movie pretty much gives you the usual Chan shenanigans with lots of comedy but also wall-to-wall action showcasing Drunken boxing. A movie that's worth the watch.

Up to this point, every Power Rangers season the characters obtained their powers through magic or existing tech from another galaxy. So here we have a season wherein we have a scenario where the military develops there own Power Rangers tech which gave us a very cut and dry season. While the good guys are fun to watch its the bad guys who end up being the best part of the season. So sit back as CJ and PrimeGundam talk about all things Lightspeed Rescue.

Never done before under the 3BG umbrella. DjTsu's favorite franchise and Dee never watches it. Time for a special podcast where DjTsu forces(kinda) Dee to watch. Did Dee like it? Did DjTsu made Dee a fan. Or is Dee a jerk? Listen and fine out.

Celebrities have always had a history tied into the world of cartoons. Some have a had moderate success, some have been outright bad, and then you have the ones that have been runaways successes pushing multiple seasons. Which brings us to Jackie Chan Adventures. The show more or less feels like an extension of Chan's Armor of Gods series where him and other characters go on adventures searching for relics and getting into mischief. This ends up working out for 5 seasons and each season ups the ante on the villains and mischief even more.

Mainstream audiences are aware of Chan's movies in America and some of the movies he's made in Hong Kong. Every once in a while Chan will film a movie in another country that's different than what he usually does. Who Am I is a very tight movie that moves along at a good pace. You have a pretty good story of a guy trying to get his memories back alongside trying to piece together how it all happened in the first place. Good action and fun characters make it worth the watch.

Police Story 3 aka SuperCop finally brings our hero to the 90's. The story is very fast-paced and he even has a partner in Michelle Yeoh who holds her own next to Chan. Very good flick all around especially if you're a fan of any sort of action film.

Wrestlemania 32 is upon us and we at WrestleCorner talk about the predictions for the upcoming matches and also quickly talk about NXT Takeover Dallas.

Man of Steel managed to divide a fanbase when it came to Superman despite how well made the movie was. After 3 years of development we are finally brought a movie that was highly anticipated after being teased about since back during the Schumacher era of Batman films. Batman V Superman ends up being a polarizing film that ultimately ends up sort of disappointing you cause deep beneath the issues the film has is a good movie.

Movies based on board games are few and far between mainly because there have only been two movies. Clue and Battleship. Clue manages to be a pretty good and entertaining movie because it hits on the very thing that makes the game fun which the solving the mystery. With a really good cast of actors/actresses, this flick is entertaining from beginning to end.

The movie that pretty much made Jim Carrey a household name, Ace Ventura is a hilarious movie that still holds up. Carrey's brand of comedy doesn't come off as annoying which is a credit to his comedic style. His character of Ace is him just going nuts and it's amazing how anyone during this movie was able to keep a straight face and not laugh whenever he was on screen.

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence in the same movie. It was a long time coming and it was well worth it. Life is a movie that is funny from beginning to end and you can see both Martin and Eddie firing on all cylinders with the comedy. With a great supporting cast, this flick is well worth the watch.

What can be said about a movie that paired up Jet Li with the late and great Aaliyah? Lots of things actually. Here we have a movie that was fusing that Asian/hip-hop influence while attempting to be a sort of loose adaptation of Romeo and Juliet... Action and funny wire-fu be damned.

So at the height of Power Rangers initial success, Saban opted to spread his wings and do American adaptations of other tokusatsu shows. One of those shows is based off the Metal Hero franchise. In comes VR Troopers which did lots of things that made it different than just another show like Power Rangers. Sure the characters transformed into suited heroes but these characters were different. They were young adults instead of teenagers and they had actual lives. The show overall was interesting and certain ideas from it were implemented into the Power Rangers franchise for the better.

As much as Shaft is a beloved blaxploitation classic, Truck Turner is quite possibly equal if not better than it. Isaac Hayes is very enjoyable as the title character but it's Nichelle Nichols who steals the movie. We've known her for years as Uhura in Star Trek and she was always a capable actress but you immediately gravitate to her cause of how great she does as a villain. The plot is simple but it's the characters and action that brings it all together perfectly.

2010's Comic BookSo the Deadpool movie happened and ended up being a game-changer of sorts for Rated R comic book movies much like how Blade did before. We also got to interview actor Greg LaSalle who did the motion capture for Colossus. Greg breaks down the process it took to do this character and the future of the MOVA Facial Performance Capture system used for Colossus.

It's that special time of the year and what better way to celebrate it than with probably the most horrible movie of all time...Tommy Wiseau's The Room. A movie that is an example of what NOT to do in a flick.

There was so much WTF that it had to be told in two parts. Minase and Imari get close, and the word rape is used a lot, we finally see the wrath of a side-chick and all's well that ends on a cliffhanger. As you guessed NSFW!!!!!!!

Blaxploitation has always been good about women empowerment and no other woman did it better than Pam Grier. Coffy is an enjoyable movie because despite how fine the character was she was just as deadly and ruthless as the men which is a huge plus. Overall this is a classic movie that is worth a watch.

There is nothing to say about this movie. It's a hodgepodge of moments featuring lower-tier actors and rappers. The story is paper thin and yet you have to marvel at how it's all put together. lol

After 2 maybe 3 years of lackluster Royal Rumble endings, we finally are graced with quite possibly the best Royal Rumble in quite awhile. Lots of surprises and a great PPV from beginning to end. Also lots of news from out of NJPW and NXT.

We start off 2016 with a bang. Get it...BANG....anyway, time for the main storyline of the game/hentai Bible Black. More sex, more bad lines, more reasons to question God. VERY NSFW but you already knew that. Sit back and enjoy and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't go to the Art Room!

Out of all the core Disney characters, Goofy was always the most interesting cause Disney decided to give him a full-fledged family in cartoon shorts. Later we end up getting a fun show called Goof Troop which showed Goofy raising his son Max alongside his neighbor Pete with his family. Good show all around. Enter A Goofy Movie which took place years after the tv show. This is probably one of the blackest movies that Disney has so far. Fun characters, a great soundtrack, and just a blast to watch overall.

So DC and Marvel both decided to do big event comics that would change the course of their respective universes. Normally we as readers see this and roll our eyes because it is BS BUT Marvel and DC have made good on this. Both events are solid and manage to give a very enjoyable story.

What happens when you create the most broken character that's connected to the Saiyan lineage? Why do you give him three movies? Well of course, the guys talk about two of them. One movie represents the best of Broly and the other movie represents the worst of Broly. Well, the worst of the DBZ era.

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is the start of where the series was forming its own mythology in that every season from this point on was being its own thing separate from the previous Zordon era of shows. Much like In Space, the show took the material seriously but still left room to embrace its cheesy nature which was perfect. All around a solid season and worth a watch.

A movie that harkens back to the old school era of action. Simple plot that gets straight to the point and a cast of characters that are just fun to watch. Definitely worth a watch.
