3BlackGeeks Podcast

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.

Its been awhile but we're back!!!! Tackling all the news out of SDCC this year and then getting down to the nitty gritty with Ultraman Dyna

1985, time travel was made with the help of a car that can only go 85 mph downhill. The movie was still iconic! In this super show an episode, we talk about everything. Time Travel to Racism. ...of course we did.

So...LA in the Predator world is insane. It's like the 92 riots didn't stop. This makes the cops tougher. That's where Danny Glover comes in. Seems that he's fighting gang members who are being hunted. This movie a NEGRO CLASSIC!

It's been 150 episodes of WTSS. Cj and Dee talk about what happen year one of the show, we also talk NBA, NFL Preseason, MLB trades and the 90's Nickelodeon TV special, "4 Points". Starring Robert Richard, Kenan Thompson and Clifton Powell. Or as Cj calls it, the Steph Curry story.

Our boys our in the jungle and they were killed by the commie's! Time for Arnold and the boys to take care of these Reds. But they not Reds! They not even They! It's one person...no...one hunter. 3BG are proud to talk about this manly ass movie!

Michael Jackson without a doubt is the greatest music artist of all time. Lucky for you people DjTsu and Dee are BIG fans of MJ. So this episode of BAM we talk about MJ's greatest video of all time...maybe. Bad as a song and video was f'n everything. IT ALSO STARRED WESLEY SNIPES IN HIS FIRST ROLE!!!

The Yautja been doing this hunting thing for centuries. What made you think they didn't fight a few people of The First Nation. 3BG talks about the brand new Predator movie and how it gets all praises with me.

With Season 3 of Solar Opposites in full swing, we got a chance to chat with the writers and actors of the show. The first half of this is Writer/Producers Mike McMahan, Josh Bycel, and Danielle Uhlarik. The second half is with actors Thomas Middleditch who plays Terry, Mary Mack who plays Jesse, and Sean Giambrone who plays Yumyulack. Very fun set of interviews that gives good insight into the writing and the comradery of the show. Be sure to watch the latest season of Solar Opposites on Hulu.

What happens when you make The Hateful 8 but on a train? You get Bullet Train. This movie is entertaining as hell from beginning to end and establishes itself in what it is which is a simple but chaotic film with a colorful cast of characters. Movie also carries that same energy in its action which fits perfectly given this is from the same people that gave you John Wick.

Action Trump is now Italian...and...wow. This is early Seagal and somehow Present day bad Seagal. This movie stinks.

007 has been a franchise the 3 Black Kangs have been ducking for quite some time. We get into the biggest one in the last 30 years. Goldeneye! Not just cuz it's a good Bond film. But because we get to say our peace about the iconic video game.

Tim Burton made classics like nothing...for at least 10 years. Beetlejuice was a movie that was a bit of a risk but was brilliantly done. 3BG goes into why this movie is special.

Dee and CJ are back talking about some good ole baseball. The Orioles are on the rise and trying to get into that Wild Card spot going into the All-Star Break. Meanwhile, the Nationals have a conundrum with Juan Soto. Also PGA vs. LIV golf beef, F1 news, and Ric Flair having his "Last" wresting match.

CJ chats it up with one of the writers/producers of a new indie comic book, Fight of the Century, that will be on comic book shelves globally later this year in October. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOTC is a story about MMA (mixed martial arts) and sports. In a futuristic Brazil, performance-enhancing drugs have gone from behind-the-scenes banned substances to front-and-center game changers. The sports world as we know it has been revolutionized! Nowhere is that more on display than inside Neo-Rio, a mega-city that serves as the home to the Fighters Ultimate Exhibition League (FUEL). Men are becoming monsters in minutes as fighters are putting their lives on the line in the octagon.

Jam packed comic book corner episode. Starting off, CJ talks with Joshua Williamson and Daniel Sampere about big DC comics event, Dark Crisis. Then CJ, PrimeGundam, & special guest Kam from Blerd & Whiskey podcast talk all about the happenings in the comic book world from the Miles Morales What If Thor controversy, Marvel Studios VFX employees fed up with working conditions, and random odds and ends.

Marky Mark is forever. An icon. An A Grade actor. And I know I'm lying about all of that. But in this episode, Dee brings Chris cuz he's not gonna be the only black man to waste his time watching this.
