The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ishana Night Shyamalan first big movie and...we're not saying he wrote this movie but he was definitely in the room every step of the way.

The movie that started the whole genre...well, no but it feels like it. The 1989 classic, Batman! It's a film that was marketed strongly, acted well, and most importantly brought Batman to life. We talk about it all. The casting, the writing, the action, and The Joker! 

#TheAcolyte #StarWars #Disney #Jedi #Sith  Its been awhile but we're back with the TV recaps and this time CJ & Anthony deep dive into The Acolyte and Star Wars in general because holy crap this show really brought out the nastiness in fandom and really showed the people that actually pay attention to Star Wars and those that don't. 

#AppleTV #MattDamon #CaseyAffleck Apple tv to their credit has put out a good amount of quality movies and television shows. The Instigators is one of those films. Its a simple action, comedy movie that hits on the same beats that we've seen before with some deviations here and there. Also helps that Damon and Affleck have a good comradery and the supporting cast(including Ving Rhames and Ron Perl...

#AlienRomulus #Alien #Aliens #Prometheus #AlienCovenant Alien: Romulus brings the franchise back to its roots after having two prequel films that honestly didn't do a good job of selling folks on the origins of the Aliens. But tbh we really didn't need an origin for Creatures from space. At any rate, Romulus is heavy on the nostalgia and callbacks and yet it does a fantastic job of being its own m...

Hard Target is action perfection. When you have the great John Woo making his American debut, you will get solid action. The guys talk about JCVD, Lance Freaking Hendricksen!, Shotguns and Wilford almost stealing the movie!

Forrest Gump was one of the greatest human beings that ever lived. Sure, he was a little naive and wasn't the sharpest tool in the box but he was smart as hell. He was a GOTDAMN war hero. A champion of compassion and a reason why all autistic kids are awesome. Speaking of autism! 3BG are back from their summer break! The live chat was out of control in this one and that was just adding fuel to the...

#DeadpoolAndWolverine #MarvelStudios #MCU #Marvel #Xmen #Fox As with many character crossover films, this movie is definitely up there with the hype and its been a long time coming. This film lives up to its R-rating and pushes it to the limit. And even with all the crass jokes, this movie still has heart and keeps you engaged with all the shenanigans. Tons of cameos and Easter Eggs that don't ove...

#Twisters #Twister #GlenPowell    Twisters as a film works because while it is a sequel of sorts to the original movie, its a sequel in spirit in that it takes the basic ideas of the first film and expands on it in a way that makes it not feel redundant. Solid cast and great cinematography and vfx. Go watch this in IMAX and 4DX if you can.

#Maxxxine #Pearl #X #TiWest    Director TI West managed to crack the code in developing a movie trilogy. Maxxxine functions extremely well as a standalone film if you never watch the previous two movies in this saga(X and Pearl). And as the 3rd film in the trilogy, the movie sticks the landing in terms of the overall narrative of the character Maxine. The film nails everything about the 80's so mu...

We're back with another Metal Hero show and this time we tackle Juukou B-fighter or as it was adapted in America as Big Bad Beetleborgs. In watching B-Fighter we see a show that goes raw as hell with its themes and action. Well worth the watch.

It's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it's full of 80's and 90's action movies. Many will say this movie was ahead of its time but it's more like, it could've been better. A movie so bad it sent Arnold into a mini-depression. We talk about the highs, lows and stupid of this flick. 

The Boston Celtics are NBA Champions once more! We talk NBA, WWE, some Stanley Cup, and a little Baseball! Rest In Paradise Jerry West, Bill Walton and Willie Mays

#Ultraman #UltramanRising #TsubarayaProductions #tokusatsu TsuPro is laughing to the bank. Ultraman Rising is a movie that just works on so many levels. Even if you're someone thats never watched Ultraman, this film makes you feel as though you have. Solid voice acting, excellent story, and top notch animation that matches the vibe of what Ultraman truly is. 

Tarantino's first movie. Before the Killing of Bill, before the Jackie'ng of Browns, and before the close-ups of feet, this was his beginnings. We talk about the crew, the heist, the video games, the n-words, and the Gen-X edgelord dialogue. 

#BadBoys #BadBoysRideorDie #WillSmith #MartinLawrence    I don't think anyone forsaw the Bad Boys franchise reaching a fourth film and being a legitimately good film and yet here we are. Bad Boys 4 much like the 3rd film, plays to the strengths that makes the films fun and entertaining by sticking with what made it work in the very first film. The movie overall doesn't overstay its welcome and it...

The Space Oprea genre is full of copycats and big ideas that go nowhere. The Fifth Element didn't suffer from this. It took pieces from other works and made its own. While it feels very 90s, the movie oozes with a timeless charm. We talk about it all in this episode. 

A fantastic action movie full of action, sibling love, and silence. 

It's NYC in the mid-90s. Everything is awesome until white gang members cause a disaster in the Holland Tunnel. Who will save the survivors trapped inside? Will it be policemen, a group of brave EMT's, or maybe the Ninja Turtles? How about a disgraced EMS Chief who's played by Stallone?  It'll be fine.   

The Mad Max series marches on and George Miller isn't missing at all. Cj and DjTsu talk about the newest saga and their thoughts on it. 

The relationship between CGI and Anime has been a rough one. Either hitting the mark with mixed results or missing and totally horrifying the watcher. Lupin the First doesn't have this problem, in fact, it's one of the most gorgeous-looking animated movies made in the last 10 years. The guys talk about Lupin, Monkey Punch, Hitler, Jackets, and Lupin in real life. 

The Arrowverse....To have experienced this during its tenure was a moment. Full of highs and lows, the Arrowverse at the end of the day gave a fully realized DC universe on the tv level and it worked overall for the most part. So sit back on this long episode as we reminence on this tv moment.

Hasbro had a shot to really do something special with Power Rangers and yet they dropped the ball. Which when looking back was by design. We break down what went wrong and the future of the franchise under Playmates and what it means.

The new Amy Winehouse film left a lot to be desired. A movie that had problems with pacing, continuity and really wanted to show her downfall.

This is a special episode of 3BG. We're talking about our favorite anime Dragonball again, now we're on the King Piccolo Arc. King Piccolo is by far one of the most disrespectful villains in Dragonball. We talk about DB transforming into DBZ, Goku getting washed, Ma Jr., Garlic Jr., mouth beams, and more. We also finish up this episode by talking about the great Akira Toriyama.  Rest In Paradise A...
