3BlackGeeks Podcast

This Juneteeth we leave space for our allies. Our white brotheren who care so deeply. So we're reviewing a white savior movie! More importantly, RIP Coolio

#TheFlash #DC #EzraMiller #Batman #MichaelKeaton #Supergirl Its a shame that this film is dropping after the excellent Across the Spiderverse because the big flaws of The Flash is front and center mainly in the loose story adaptation of the Flashpoint comic. For a film thats supposed to be this big love letter to the DC movie universe, the film doesn't quite have the epic scope to pull off this feat.

#Transformers #Hasbro #Paramount #OptimusPrime #PeterCullen Gotta admit...Whoever is head of Paramount has a clear vision of what the Transformers franchise can be ever since Bumblebee. Rise of the Beasts continues this clear storytelling with a straightforward narrative, entertaining characters that you care about, and solid action.

The Godzilla movie where earth is finesse by Planet X. A plan that has us give up Godzilla and Rodan for a cancer drug. Sounds fair but it ain't.

CJ and Prime go over the latest toku news including the recent Lightning Collection drops. Also they dive into Return of Ultraman and the greatness that is Ultraman Jack.

With the big time success of Into The Spiderverse with it getting an Oscar, it was only natural that a sequel happen. This film hits you with all the right kinds of emotions and even with all the additional characters, it still manages to tell a very solid story that picks up from the first film. Great characters, excellent animation, and a damn good soundtrack makes for Sony going 2 for 2 with animated Spiderman films.

We jumping out the plane for this one guys. Wesley Snipes chases down Gary Busey and his teeth through the skies! This podcast gets unhinged quickly. We go teeth first into this underrated movie.

Remakes of old films are often caught in a quandry. On one hand they serve to update an older film that might not have aged well. On the other hand they ultimately serve as nostalgic cash grabs that end up not being better than the original. Unfortunately the latter is the case for this film. Much like with the House Party remake, this movie doesn't hit the highs that the original film hit that made it such a beloved classic. Despite the characters having somewhat of interesting backstories, the charm that the original film had is not here in this remake.

#FastX #FastandFurious #FastSaga #VinDiesel We have finally reached the 10th installment in the Fast franchise and what we get is a film with lots of twists and surprises. For the first time in the franchise our heroes are getting challenged big time by a villain that doesn't let up. And tbh thats a good thing because that part alone represents what this film is from beginning to end. Crazy amounts of action mixed in with the usual melodrama the franchise is known for.

3BlackGeeks finally talk about Tarantino. Yes, the Gen X renegade director who has a love for Grindhouse films, the n-word and feet. We talk about the Western where everyone dies! Where nuts get blown off, n-word's are yelled and blood is spilled.

#Air #MichaelJordan #Nike #Jordan1 This movie could've easily been just a self serving commercial for Nike but what you get is an interesting film that hits on a very historical moment for Nike that forever changed the course of the company into the behemoth that it is today.

Just your typical serial killer hiding from the cop's movie. We have all seen it before. The guy transfers his soul into a doll. Now the doll is pushing women out of windows and stabbing voodoo priests. The same ol' same ol' from Hollywood. We talk about this silly horror classic with all the love 3BG usually gives one of its favorites.

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 #Marvel #MCU #JamesGunn James Gunn put his whole ankle into this film. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 manages to do something rare in that it sticks the landing on this film journey that we've gone on with these characters in the MCU. Everything from the visuals to the music to the story is very well done and keeps you engaged to see where its all gonna lead up. Definitely worth the watch in theaters.

James Cameron is known for Titanic, Avatar, Terminator, and one of the Alien movies. Most people often forget, True Lies. And what many don't know is that this a monster hit. It also gave Jamie Lee Curtis career the joint it needed. Also, ARNOLD! This maybe Peak Arnold.

Time to go BACK IN TIME!!!!! Marty and Doc hop back inside that cool-looking car that can only go 88 mph max! This time, the timeline is screwed up because somebody wanted to make a few bets. Yes, we made the joke about Biff turning into present-day Trump. We did all the jokes we were supposed to. Don't worry!

You can always tell when an anime is a featured film. The detail and the care that goes into it...(chef's kiss). This movie is undoubtably a classic. A movie that gives you exactly what you think the game is and has. Beside a few frames being trash here and there, the movie is perfect. PrimeGundam joins us as we talk about STREET FIGHTER II!

Coming off the 90's film, it was hard to imagine Mario Bros. getting another shot at a movie. So here we are in 2023 and Illumination, the studio behind the Despicable Me franchise, comes in and gives a very solid film. Yes the movie hits on story beats we've seen before but thats perfectly fine. Overall what you have is a good movie that kids will enjoy.

Coming off the previous Metacast episode on Black Sun, CJ & Prime decide to tackle OG Kamen Rider Black to cleanse the palette. This is a damn good show and is the first and only Kamen Rider series to have an actual sequel series.

"Parabellum" means prepare for war. John is in full war mode and so is The High Table. The third installment of the Wick series gives us more action, more death and actual comedy.

Resident Evil 4 remake just dropped and CJ & DJ Tsu have beaten the game and are talking all about it and also lamenting again about E3 being officially cancelled for 2023 lol...Its like Groundhogs Day.

It's not every day a POW is saved by his Army Brat son and his old Black sage, but damn it all it's happening here. In this crazy movie, we see war crimes and the glaring holes of security in the US Military complex. AND LOU GOSSETT JR!

#JohnWick4 #JohnWick #KeanuReeves #RIPLanceReddick It is very hard to have a movie franchise stay consistent while still delivering the goods. The John Wick franchise has managed to accomplish this and John Wick 4 encompasses everything that we've seen from the franchise. The film is a full circle moment that started with the first film and never lets up. The action setpieces are phenomenal, the characters are fun & interesting, the story is simple & engaging, and the cinematography work is fantastic. And with a runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes, the film is paced so well that you don't feel the length at all. Definitely go see this film, you won't regret it.

A staple in the podcast world is to review the movie Commando. The movie where Arnold is an unstoppable force, causing massive infrastructural damage to the city of Los Angeles. Bodies of unnamed goons and soldiers everywhere, bloody and full of holes. All because they took his daughter...so he can join in on a military coup. You know, Army guy stuff.

#Creed3 #MichaelBJordan #JonathanMajors #Rocky Simplicity is always good especially if its your first time directing a film. Creed 3 marks the directorial debut of Michael B. Jordan who also stars as main character Adonis Creed. What helps MBJ craft a solid and simple film is that he's already been the character the previous 2 times and anime influence meshes well with the sports drama mainly with the story of Adonis and Damien. We've seen this kind of story before and yet it never gets old. Overall definitely worth the watch.

After Drago beat the CTE into Rocky, he decided to retire. But then Life metaphorically beat the CTE into Rocky's finances too. Rocky is rebuilding himself, teaching a new boxer, and watching his son slowly become a Philly scumbag. This movie is unhinged.

Chris and Jackie team up again to make a monster hit that was so good the next movie went into developmental hell! Meanwhile, Rush Hour 2 was a mega-hit.

I don't think anyone figured that Antman as a character would be able to ride out as a solid franchise and yet here we are on the third film. Kicking off Phase 5, Quantumania has alot going for it. Its bigger in scope than the previous two films, it has a big villain in Kang the Conqueror, and it also sets up the bigger stakes for the upcoming Avengers film. 3BG Rating- 4 out of 10

It's not everyday a movie that was made just to fulfill a contract and was mid at best turns into a beloved cult classic. No his best but one that gave us great moments.

What happens when M. Night just does a straight-up adaptation with a not-so-crazy twist? You get this film. This is probably one of M. Night's most straightforward films which will either make people like it or not like it depending on your expectations.

Perhaps its fitting that on Black History Month we talk about Kamen Rider Black Sun, a show that tries to mix in the currect political climate of the BLM movement with a reimagining of the Kamen Rider Black show. Overall the show is a bit of a letdown and we go into it on why that it is.

The guys talk about the recent news of E3 not having the big 3 of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft not being in attendance, the Forsaken controversy, live services games being taken down, and the recent RE4 remake update video.

A classic we did once before, except this time we're acting the living sh*t out of it! Our boy Denzel joins this little play to add to the craziness.

SO MANY MEMORIES! ...but wait. This isn't right. The puppets. The action. The corny jokes. Something isn't right at all. This movie isn't that good. Like...it's bad. Maybe very bad. But it slaps to millennials who need 90's copium. ...I blame Vanilla Ice.

The Geeks are headed back to Shadow Moses. This is the first of five dives into the Metal Gear world. It's going to be amazing, confusing, convoluted, but more importantly educational. All of this is approved by the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo.

Missing is an interesting film in a genre that isn't quite crowded mainly because it's rare you get a movie that's consistently decent like this. What you have is a simple movie with a couple of good twists. 6 out of 10

Gerard Butler does these kinds of films in his sleep and you know what? This film is surprisingly really good. It's a throwback to simple 80's & 90's action films that got straight to the point with the plot and action. The movie gives you just enough to keep you entertained and wanting to see these characters make it through the film to the end. Definitely a helluva way to kick off 2023 at the movies. 7 out of 10

The director of this movie commented on one of my TikTok's. And here we are.

Kevin Smith is actually a big part of 3BlackGeeks. He inspired us to make this podcast. It stops there, cuz Kevin Smith is fine but his movies aren't perfect, but his best movies are all of our favorites. The first movie we chose out of his resume was Dogma. A movie you can tell Kevin wrote in high school. A lot of Good ol' Gen-X Christian Edgelord humor.

What better way to end 2022 than to talk about a very fun sentai in Kakuranger. This is a series that more than anything is peak Sentai from top to bottom. Dope character arcs, great antagonists, solid action, and just fun times overall.

When volcanos blow, shit goes down. Dante's Peak is a quick yet long sit but it gives you all that you want. Lava, dumb townspeople, a good looking scientist and smart kids. Oh, oh, oh...and a old lady bites it in boiling sulfuric water. Nice.

We taken it back to the late 60's! We's doin a Western! The Wild Bunch! Pure badass old Hollywood! The 3 Geeks talk about this classic gunslinger movie! And yes, it's very entertaining.

Seems that we been down this road before. Except everything goes boom-boom bigger in this one. In this edition of White House Die Hard, the President is captured by North Korean rebels. Oh, and the US military gets bullied! Yeah, all of this is fiction.

The unexpected passing of Jason David Frank sent shock through not just Power Ranger fandom but in the mainstream fandom as well. It speaks volumes to how much JDF was the legit face of the franchise.

Time for 3BG to redo a year 2 episode. This time we have better jokes, better mics and we have a lot to talk about. Soooooooo many "Like A Dragon" jokes. So many punches and weird characters.

The Michael Bay banger! This movie is Metal Gear Solid. But then again we see everything as Metal Gear.

In 2020, Dee said "Fantasy Island" has an ass kicking waiting on it in a few years. Well it's been a few. This movie sucks all round. It had chances to work, but nah. BTW, this the Halloween Special. Boo Nigga. New Intro by Cxdy New Outro by Momo Ward

Before 9-11, hacking and exposing the government meant something different. The world isn't ready for this hacker who...is actually kinda of a good guy? Shut up! This a Joel Silver movie, let's get nuts!

This movie was a long time coming and its finally here. Overall we got a very middle of the road film that has some good things going for it but also has some bad things that keep it from being excellent compared to Shazam and Aquaman.

In this episode of Dragonball, we talk about this action packed saga. It's always fun to go back to these episode of Dragonball before it got insane.

With the Hasbro Pulse Con over with, CJ & Prime talk all about the latest news from Hasbro dealing with Power Rangers from the upcoming Lightning Collection figures to the big Cosmic Fury show announcement. Fun times ahead of New York Comic Con happening as well.
