3blackgeeks podcast

#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCcomics #WB #HBOMax  Episode 3 of Lanterns provides alot of context for not only John Stewart but for Hal Jordan as well. We see how closely tied together John and Hal truly are as this episode goes into the backstory of John Stewart and how he got to the position to be part of the Green Lantern Corps.  Its wild too that we are still early in the season and yet we get a much needed episode that ends up making you look at the first two episodes in a different way.

Rom Coms always run up against being very by the books and basic but every once in awhile you get a rom com that adds a twist to the mix to spice it up. One Night Only bills itself as being essentially The Purge but for sex instead of killing. In a crazy way the movie does a good job with setting up this environment in which we see our two characters navigating through. The film works real well overall and is pretty entertaining for it..

NFL Preseason, College Football Preview, WNBA Playoff picture, some F1, some Baseball and stuff

#KamenRider #KamenRiderZO #KamenRiderJ #ShinKamenRider #tokusatsu #toku #PowerRangers The guys are back talking about three Kamen Rider movies that came out during the Showa Era. In a way they were the prototype for what we got in Kuuga and Agito. At any rate, sit back and listen to the guy talk on these three films and chop it up on the recent news on the Hasbro Power Rangers show being canceled. 

#Lanterns #DCU #GreenLantern #HBO #WarnerBros And just like that, Episode 2 of Lanterns ups the ante and in a way addresses some of the complaints folks had in the pilot in that the show wasn't whimsical enough. The plot has gotten more intriguing and has eliminated certain theories from the Ep. 1. Also by the end, Hal and John have finally grown to respect one another even though its still a little uneasy between the two. 2 episodes in and the show it still keeping folks captivated.

After a long hiatus, CJ and Prime are back with a renewed focus back on comic books and also talking SDCC 2026

Its been a few years, so let's go back to 1970's Japan. Team Chiba was rolling with Karate bangers. This time Etsuko Shihomi stars in female answer to Sonny's hit movie. Complete with anime and tokusatsu madness!

#Mutiny #JasonStatham  Jason Statham bringing the heat again with another simple action banger. This time we see himn having to clear his name by sneaking onto a ship and figuring out a simple conspiracy. Its about what you expect out of a film like this. Nothing crazy, very straightforward. Villains who are smart and effective so Statham has to actually work for his kills. Entertaining film overall.

#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCcomics #DCU #JamesGunn #JohnStewart #HalJordan Lanterns is a new project in the DCU brought to us by Damon Lindelof and Tom King. This first episode sets the tone for what this season may be. We get a mix of mystery and lots of Green Lantern lore as we watch the dynamic of Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Stick around...This show has the makings of greatness

One of the most important black movies of the 1970s. Instead of glorifying the streets, its shows the downfall and stands on it. Damn this movie is good.

The movie that made Clint Eastwood a superstar. This classic spaghetti western was one of the highest watermarks in the Western genre. This 60 year old picture aged very well....kinda...we'll talk about it.

JCVD and JCVD! State of the art filmmaking at it's best! Double the action! Double the kicks! Double the 90's Hong Kong Action Troupes! Double the splits!

#SpidermanBrandNewDay #Spiderman #Marvel #Sony #MCU  Brand New Day is a culmination of the growth of Peter Parker from the previous 3 Spiderman films. And boy is the pay off so good from the its opening moments. This is a movie that gives you the definitive Spider-Man experience and you see all its inspirations onscreen especially in regards to the recent Playstation games. Solid film top to bottom. A Must Watch!!!

Fast 5 was and always will be the biggest Fast movie of them all. At least until the next one comes. We talk about Diesel, The Rock, Paul Walker having a negative stat in intimidation, Brazil, cars and the tone shift that changed it all for better or worse.

Time for some animation magic! We go to South America to see two white guys and a native with a Puerto Rican accent, hustle a city of people. Hey smile, IT'S FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! (Note- This was recorded a day after Charlie Kirk was killed...have fun!)

#SonyPlaystation #MicrosoftXbox #Nintendo #GamingIndustry #TheLastofUs #Evo #SNK Oooh buddy the guys had a fun time blasting the bullshit that is currently happening in the gaming industry. Its a hot mess and we vent and get our jokes off on these corporate chuckleheads

#TheInvite #SethRogan #OliviaWilde #EdwardNorton #PenelopeCruz The Invite is one of those films that sneaks up on you because of how it presents itself upfront. On the surface the film comes off like a standard comedy fare regarding two couples engaging with each other over dinner. But over the course of the film, it slowly starts being about the state of both couples relationships especially the marriage between Rogan and Wilde's characters. The movie goes about it in a very real way thats funny, insightful, and engaging. Definitely a solid watch overall.

We follow Rambo into the Afghan mountains! He's rescuing his fellow Americans from Soviet scum! We talk about the real Afghan-Soviet conflict, Stallone's slump, AMERICA YEEEEEEAH!, and many other things that will be painfully connected to Trump's America. Happy 250...

#KenjiOhba #BattleFeverJ #Denziman #SpaceSheriffGavan #SuperSentai #MetalHero Kenji Ohba had a lasting legacy in the tokusatsu world and he will be sorely missed. A man who pioneered the Metal Hero franchise and kicked it off with Space Sheriff Gavan.. Who cemented himself in the Super Sentai genre in Battle Fever J and Denziman and was a very dedicated stunt performer that established a high energy style that we still see to this day. Even outside of the tokusatsu world, he made an impact as a performer being in various films especially in the Kill Bill Franchise. So sit back as CJ and Prime talk about Kenji and watch the Gavan/Gokaiger film.

John Singleton made a very Gen X movie that spoke on many themes that I'm sure Gen X learned not to do in the future. HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!

#Supergirl #Superman #DCU #GodsandMonsters #MillyAlcock #JasonMamoa #EveRidley Supergirl is a drastically different film per the usual superhero fair. Its a movie thats taking a very powerful character and putting her in a very personal story thats still filled with the usual superhero action and adventure that we've seen before. And it ends up working very well by the end of it all. 

Yeah, yeah, the Knicks won...we talk about F1, UFC Freedom 250 and something else that isn't the Knicks winning or how New York is celebrating...this isn't jealously. Fuck the Knicks!

Wakanda Forever, niggaz! Black Panther was one of the biggest Black movies ever made. We talk about Chadwick, why its not that great, why its pretty good, why the fanbase is trash, why influencers and creators are brain dead morons and why Black people adore this movie.

3BG's first successful podcast was about the Saiyan Saga of Dragonball Z. That was 15 years ago! We covered all of Dragon Ball, GT , The Z series and its movies. Before we head to Dragonball Super, let's have a fun convo about our favorite anime of all time. We talk about Box Sets, the video games, Oldtaku memories, Sailor Moon v DBZ, Vic Migtouchayounggirlinahotelroom, Live Action, our favorite petty/funny moments and how DBZ kicked opened the door for anime in America.

#TheFurious #JoeTaslim #BrianLe #KenjiTanigaki #XieMiao  On a very special episode, CJ takes time out to talk to Actors Brian Le & Joe Taslim and Director Kenji Tanigaki, giving insight on aspects of The Furious.

#SonyPlaystation #GodofWar #Wolverine #Laufey #GoW #CvS2 #MarvelTokon   So Sony came in HOT with the latest State of Play and they are really establishing in wanting folks to continue to invest in their console. CJ and DJ Tsu talk all about the games and get a little nostalgia as well.

It's time to talk about the movie your Paw-Paw says is "The greatest Hip-Hop film of all-time! Back when Rap was all about the real shit! ...dancing!!!" Thats right, we go deep into this shallow as hell plot!

#HeMan #MastersOfTheUniverse #Mattel #Skeletor #JaredLeto #IdrisElba #MotU #MOTU Masters of the Universe was in developmental hell for a long time. Its one to develop an animated series surrounding He-Man cause ultimately its a property that started out being made for the sake of selling toys much like alot of cartoons that came out in the 80s. Over the years though, the He-Man lore started gaining traction especially on the comic book side which lent itself to more semi-serious endeavors like the early 2000's Animated series and the recent Netflix show.  In comes this movie which takes some of the silly aspects of the 80s show and mixes it in with the serious material and gives you a very fun and straightforward movie that is very unapologetic in what it is. Its a film thats very confident with the source material and it shows top to bottom from the performances(especially Jared Leto's Skeletor) to the world of Eternia. This is a movie that comes alive with its energy. Its definitely worth the watch even if you aren't a big He-Man fan.

Two friends are sick of the big city, they decide to leave and make it big elsewhere. While finding a better, they are falsely accused for a bank robbery. Seems like an easy thing to get out of. Seems that way...

#StarWars #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #TheMandalorian #Grogu #Disney #LucasFilms The Mandalorian and Grogu is a throwback to the classic tried and true simple action/adventure movie where the movie wastes no time in getting you invested in the story. You can easily go into this film not watching the tv show because the movie through its actions tells you all you need to know not only about Mando but also of Grogu and the dynamics between the two. Great set pieces, solid visual effects, and a simple yet engaging story makes for a fun watch from beginning to end.

The sequel surpassing it former isn't uncommon but it's oddly specific. Usually comedies have a better chance achieving this. So we talk about that, 90's rock, SNL and other stuff. Party on Nerds!

#GundamHathaway #HathawayFlash #MobileSuitGundam #SorceryofNymphCirce #CharsCounterattack  The Gundam Hathaway movies lowkey ask alot of the audience in terms of understanding its story. By itself, this second movie presumes you not only watched the first film but you also have an understanding of the UC stories particularly the film, Char's Counterattack, which heavily factors into the continuing story of Hathaway Noa. Overall, Sorcery of Nymph Circe is a solid 2nd entry leading into the 3rd act of Hathaway Noa and his mission to take down the Earth Federation. Solid visuals and even the music choices do a great job of immersing you into the story of Hathaway, Kenneth, & GiGi's character progression.

The second round of the NBA Playoffs is almost done, the Wizards get a break, the WNBA started and WWE is getting boo'd, HARD!

#IsGodIs #AlesheaHarris #VivicaAFox #SterlingKBrown #MalloriJohnson #KaraYoung Is God Is comes to us from Aleshea Harris who is taking her stage play of the same name and giving it the movie treatment. Its an excellent throwback to the Grindhouse Revenge flicks and every person in this film brings their A game. You really feel for the twin sisters, Racine & Anaia, as they set about taking revenge at there mom's behest as they navigate there feelings on it. 

#DaredevilBornAgain #Daredvil #Defenders #Marvel #MCU #LukeCage #JessicaJones #IronFist    Daredevil Born Again has been a surprisingly fun show to watch. A show that took the build up of Matt Murdock's journey from the first season of the Netflix era show to his trajectory of butting heads with Kingpin, this show does a phenomenal job of keeping you invested in whats gonna happen to not only Matt but to his supporting cast. CJ and DJ Tsu talk all about Season 2 of Born Again.

Times were just simpler back in 1999. Back when it was okay for a boy to get curious and grape a pie. What!? It was warm and soft. We talk about that, the teen sex comedy genre, Hollywood being rough and THE 90'S!!!    

#DenjiSentaiMegaranger #Megaranger #PRinSpace #PowerRangers #SuperSentai  Megaranger is a solid show that really makes you appreciate the ambitious material the show does especially on the visual effects front. On top of that, if you watch Power Rangers in Space, you definitely can love this show for what it is in terms of its theme and the character dynamics. 

#MortalKombatII #MK2 #MortalKombat #Netherrealm #EdBoon    MKII hits all the notes of what people wanted out of the first MK film from a few years back. This is a film that gets straight to the point from beginning to end and it works due to the excellent pacing. Its every bit of a love letter to the franchise that will have you wanting more by the end. Definitely worth the watch.

The season that gave everyone character depth and the stakes are higher. Walt and Jesse have bigger dreams than just the ABQ...well, at least Walt wants more.  #breakingbad #bryancranston #annagunn #aaronpaul #bobodenkirk 

#Michael #MichaelJackson #MJ #AntoineFuqua #JaafarJackson For a movie that had so much potential, Michael ends up being just an "okay" biopic. This is a movie that touches on Michael Jackson as a person but is more concerned with the spectacle that was MJ once the music hits. Its a shame too because you can see the potential that this film could've really been and yet it never hits the highs to really give insight to MJ the person and the relationships he forged along the way that helped him become this iconic figure.

This was a movie that reminded us all that when Disney allows creatives to be creative it's a wonderful thing. A movie that solidified Johnny Deep as a superstar and Pirates sexy again. We talk about the action, the actors, Jerry Bruck BABY!, and unwashed white folk.

No more Tim Burton! Now its time.for Joel Schumacher to have a turn. He took it back to Batman 66' with a dash of BatmanTAS and its coated in 90's awesome! Don't ask about how comic accurate it is, WE GOT JIM CARREY!!! #Batman #JimCarrey #DCComics 

It's been few years since the One Year War but fighting continues. Earth Federation Titans vs. A.E.U.G. Our hero this time is a Newtype named Kamille Bidan who is hurled right into the conflict. What awaits him is nothing more than the horrors of war.

Sly vs. Arnold was a rivalry that help Hollywood become the behemoth it was in the 80s and 90s. During said rivalry, Arnold pump faked Stallone into one of the worse cop movies ever made. Estelle Getty didn't deserve the strays but....naw...nope, this movie is awful!  Starring- Sylvester Stallone, Estelle Getty, Roger Rees and JoBeth Williams

Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.

Bruce Lee (Lee Jun-fan) is the greatest martial artist to ever live. A man who believed that martial arts discipline was the key to not only a better but a better society. Lee had over 30 films under his belt in America and Hong Kong. But it wouldn't be until after his death, his most beloved and well-known movie was released. Enter the Dragon changed martial arts and its movies forever. So you can understand why many consider Bruce Lee to be truly sent from heaven.  Starring- Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Jim Kelly, Ahna Capri, Shih Kien, Bob Wall, Angela Mao Ying and Bolo Yueng Directed By- Robert Clouse

No one will argue that this movie isn't a classic in Black Hollywood. It gave us absolutely everything we wanted in a hood drug movie. Excellent acting, great writing and directing, and a very close to accurate story about AZ, Rich Porter and Alpo. And yes, we some DC niggaz...we also talk about our cities Drug Kingpin Rayful Edmonds and how the stories are connected. Its a very special episode about a damn good film.

A very important movie that is silently out dated and can be problematic BUT still has a message worth hearing and absorbing. And the C.I.A. might have had a hand in this...ahhh just saying...

This movie was a flop. Not making the same amount as the first. But its cult status dwarfs the first one. You see, if you wanna be somebody and you wanna go somewhere...you better wake up and pay attention! Our boy Denzel joins us on this episode about a movie that was played endlessly in Sunday Schools.

A passion project for Eddie Murphy so that he could work alongside his idol in Richard Pryor, Harlem Nights is a solid and funny film top to bottom
