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.

Another year, another Royal Rumble. For the second year in a row we got a controversial PPV from WWE and its a doozy.

Damon Wayans had a run, and it was called the 90's. From being a straight man in comedies, to silliness one in the movie, to being in action roles. Mo' Money, combines the 3 and starred Damon in the lead role. This gives us an action comedy we...kind of remember. 9

This is a bad movie in every way. Full of predictable movie tropes, no likeable characters, and invoking everything that is the 90's from the women to the cameo from Coolio. Yeah we break down this movie so you the viewer don't have to watch it.

Ever wanted to know what it takes to be a freelance artists or even what an artist goes through? Then sit back as CJ interviews freelance extraordinaire Average Joe Art. Fun Times.

Lets be honest with ourselves, Hollywood never had a good track record when it came to properties like video games so at no point did any rational minded person think they'd get anime right(Least till Speed Racer). Welp, Hollywood tried to prove us wrong and failed HARD with this movie.

What happens when a company gets hacked and countless amounts of shenanigans gets exposed? Well sit tight and listen up as we break down the Sony Pictures hacking news.

What happens when you mix hot chicks, gorgeous scenery, gunplay action, and a convoluted and stupid story? You get this movie. Zach Snyder's strong suit was never story but he can definitely give you something nice to look at with his movies and this one definitely gives you that in spades.

Video games have a way of bringing people together to have fun and if there's one genre that does it best, its the fighting games. Street Fighter is THE franchise that to this day, people recognize and know front to back. Its a franchise that has went through lots of changes whether it be the system mechanics or even the various crossovers with other companies. Either which way, its the series that DEMANDS the attention and earns it rightfully.

Probably one of the better and beloved trilogy of movies, the Back To The Future series is funny and entertaining. Beneath all of it is a movie that actually does a pretty good job of explaining time travel in a way that makes sense and isn't convoluted. Tough thing to do but it succeeds.

If there was ever a franchise that has stayed iconic over the years, its this one. A simple concept of 4 guys catching ghosts spawned 2 movies, 2 cartoon series, multiple video games, and a possible reboot. Oh and it also helps they have a kick ass theme song.

We have entered an age of awesome superhero movie content. DC/WB announced the jumpstart of there universe and Marvel came back announced there slate of movies for Phase 3. Either which way, we the fans are winning big time with this.

Do you love the Avengers? The Spiderman franchise? X-men even? Well they owe there existence to an obscure Marvel character that was given a shot at a movie and his name was Blade. A franchise that kickstarted comic book movies being taken seriously for a change.

Unlike the movies and despite some plot holes, the Resident Evil game series has been very enjoyable since the beginning. Good or bad, even the plot despite its cheesiness was still a guilty pleasure. So come along with us as we chat about the games from RE 1 to RE 6.

Another year, another Tokyo Game Show. Was it a disappointment or was there a glimmer of hope for next gen gaming?

What happens when you pair Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeremy Irons together? You get a fairly entertaining and damn good sequel to the beloved Die Hard franchise. They definitely don't make them like this anymore.

So we finally made to our 100th episode and with that, we decided to talk about our favorite mutants, the X-men. From the 90's cartoon right down to the comics themselves with a little bit of the movie stuff sprinkled in.

So with the surprise and huge success of Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel seeks to expand on other characters in the MCU. So far we got Antman, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and the Inhumans. Many People aren't familiar with these characters so we took upon ourselves to talk about these characters and give some insight while also giving some recommendations for further reading.

So the inevitable happened...Hollywood rebooted the TMNT franchise. What we end up getting is a Turtles reboot that isn't that bad when you consider the countless amounts of changes the property has had over the years and also that its a kids movie.

Well Marvel took a big gamble with this property and they knocked it out of the park. Fun characters, simple plot, and great visuals really set the tone for how Marvel is doing the cosmic universe.

Joined up with Average Joe Art and BlackChivalrousNerd, we break down some of the happenings at this years San Diego Comic Con.

So here we are with the fourth entry into the Michael Bay Transformer movies. Joined by Joey Romero and Prime Gundam, we chat about the movie. Is it an improvement over the previous movies or is it more of the same? Tune in and find out.

Ever wanted to know the anime equivalent to a competent Michael Bay movie? Well the answer is G Gundam, quite possibly the most fun and exciting giant robot anime you'll ever watch. Racist mobile suits, melodramatics, awesome action, fun characters. Its everything you could want from a show.

Shinichiro Watanabe knocks it out the park yet again with an anime thats near and dear to the greater anime community. A show that mixes rap and feudal japan shenanigans together to give a very good and fun story.

So awhile back during our time on podomatic, we recorded an episode on New Jack City. Not too many people at the time listened to it so it sat on the backburner. Well now fresh out the archives, we bring you a movie that is near and dear to our hearts.

The Xmen movies have definitely been a prominent fixture for awhile now. Will the newest movie put the franchise back on track or will it fall flat on its face? Check it out to find out.

Back at it again and this time talking about the new Godzilla reboot. Joined up with Geek Sargon and Average Joe Art, we tackle whether this reboot truly honored the King of the Monsters or did it fall flat on its behind.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 has finally come out. CJ, Average Joe, BlkChivalrousnerd, Dablackspawn and Geek Sargon have a roundtable discussion about the movie. Spoilers will be told.

CJ, Average Joe Art, BlackChivalrousnerd, and Arie of Official Review Podcast, talk about the new Captain America movie and other Marvel movies. Spoilers abound.

We talk about Reasonable Doubt, Memphis Bleek sucking, Dame and Jigga's fallout, 50 Cent being a troll, how Dipset took over, Just Blaze, Jim Jones sucking as a writer, and the Roc's collapse. standard hip-hop stuff. A must listen if you're a hip-hop head.

Master P had an empire in No Limit records and love them or hate them, they cranked out some classics. So obviously doing movies with artists from the label is the next logical step. Hot Boyz is one of the movies that has a decent budget to it especially when you get actors like Gary Busey and C. Thomas Howell. Does that make it a good movie though? Gonna have to give this episode a listen and find out.

This is the series that EVERYBODY grew up on and is the definitive Batman properties you must watch. It appealed to everyone young and old; all the credit goes to Bruce Timm, Dini, and Co. for crafting this awesome Batman universe.

We finally made it to the end of DBZ. It was a long road but the show ended on a decent note. Lots of crazy fights still left and a finale where we get a hard fought fight between Goku and Kid Buu.

Well, we made it to the finale of DBZ. This was a saga is still to this day very divisive to the DBZ fandom. Some like it and others hate it. We're definitely in the middle of the road with it.

Love this movie to death. If you never thought Michael Keaton could be funny, well this movie proves you wrong. Top to bottom, beginning to end, a solid movie and worth watching.

We love both of these movies equally and Raul Julia is the glue that holds both of the these movie together but the rest of the cast do a damn good job as well. The humor still holds to this day.

Paul WS Anderson has a way of giving people fan service and at the same time shitting all over the fans. Nothing encompasses that more than the Resident Evil Film series. 3 out of 5 of these movie do a servicable job with the property and the other 2 is whats wrong when you try to stick to the stuff that worked in the video games and also when you diverge waaay off from the source material. Very polarizing stuff.

Beloved anime and one of the first anime that probably got people interested in the Gundam series overall, thanks to Toonami, Gundam Wing blew up into one of the best mecha anime to watch.

The film that brought together legendary comedians from old to new but also at the same time was bashed by film critics. Kinda baffling when you think about it.

Quite possibly the most beloved movie franchise(Well at least the 1st two movies and TMNT somewhat), we dive into this franchise and dish out our thoughts with special guest, Average Joe Art.

What is there to say about the greatest musician in existance? Michael Jackson has a career that many artists dream of having. A catalogue of hit records, hit singles, and just flat out godlike live performances. We honor MJ by talking about his illustrious career from beginning to end.

A classic 3BG episode, before we named him Action Trump! A competent plot, crazy Gary Busey, and even Tommy Lee Jones as a bad guy. Who knew you could get all this in one movie. Craziness.

Out of all the anime that is beloved by the community, this anime gets a lot of love and for the right reasons. Solid story, characters you care about, and awesome music. Its no wonder that it still holds up to this day.

Lets be real, many people could give two craps about the Call of Duty Modern Warfare series in terms of its story because honestly people have the game for the multiplayer BUT the storyline for this series ain't that bad and it definitely has tons of tropes taken from Hollywood action movies that are rememberable.

Wherein we cover the second half of the Cell Saga. Betrayals, Epic fights, shenangans from side characters. All the tropes that DBZ is known for.

Quite possibly one of the most beloved sagas and pretty much where DBZ should have ended, we dive into the first half of the Cell series with the Android Saga.
