On todays episode I sit down with up&coming musician DayDarko and his latest project "Hidden Gem" streaming now.

Whats happens when you take (Ben-Hur),(Friday) and mixed together with best soundtrack of the year? You get "The Book Of Clarence".

On today's episode I had the privilege of speaking with a pillar of the community Alicia Rodriguez (The Labyrinth Art Collective) on what art, literature, and film really means to those who dream, and to those that watch the clouds.

One would think that a 70 year old film franchise wouldn't have anything new to say, but Takashi Yamasaki's "Godzilla Minus One" breathes new life into the character of Godzilla and Kaiju films all together. In a sea of big budget movies what's so different about this $15Million monster movie. Let's talk about it

On today's episode we're talking Hulu's "Goosebumps" starring Justin Long, Zack Morris, Will Price, Racheal Harrir, Isa Briones, Miles McKenna, and Ana Yi Puig. I got together with my peoples and fellow book nerds Anthony Birdstash (Birdstash Media) and Crown-Vic (Junk In The Trunk to discuss what we thought of the 2023 series.

What started as a review of "The Marvels" the latest MCU film which was directed by Nia DaCosta, and stars Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani, quickly turned a deep dive into comic books, their movies,and all nerd adjacent topics. Joined by guest host Isabel Dieppa, (journalists, cosplayer and fellow geek) tune in as we attempt to say on topic. Hahaha

" A conflict ignored, is a conflict multiplied." Pretty much sums up the topic of today's review, the 2022 Australian horror film "Talk To Me", the directorial debut for brothers Danny and Michael Philippou. Starring Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Zoe Terakes, and Miranda Otto. And on the Town Business portion of the show Camille talks to us about some upcoming theater proj...

"Art is the sensuous presentation of ideas" - Hegel Mark Jenken's 2023 film "Enys Men" takes experimental horror to a new level. Although the director describes the movie as a "Cornish Folk Tale" it has all the ingredients to make a great high concept / folk horror stew. So was the film any good.....???? Lets get into it.

On this week's episode I talk shop with burgeoning actress Akilah M. and her latest role in the film "Among The Willows" (2023) directed by Tyler Smith with a screen play by Jeffery Smith & David Novak. We also discuss some of our favorite movies, recent events, and pretty much everything in between.

On todays episode I review the steampunk, nightmare fuel that is "Moon Garden", the 2022 film written and directed by Ryan Stevens Harris.

Take " A Clockwork Orange" and "Under Cover Brother" mix it together with all the herbs and spices, you got "They Cloned Tyrone" the directorial debut of Jeul Taylor. Theres a lot talk about with this film so lets get into it.

As aunty Erykah would say "If we were made in his image then call us by our names". Vicaria is a brilliant teen who believes death is a disease and can be cured......... "Angry Black Girl and Her Monster" is a modern day retelling of Mary Shelly's classic novel "Frankenstein"(The Modern Prometheus) written and directed by Bomani J. Story starring Laya Deleon Hayes...

With it's sequel (Truth of The Divine) already being released, I was eager to finish the 1st novel in the "Noumena" series of books. Being a fan of author's ( Lindsay Ellis ) video essays I had high hopes for the novel. After reading it I have some thoughts, what did I think? The answer to that question is greatly expounded upon in todays episode.

"Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become one himself." - Nietzsche. Watching this movie was like staring into the abyss, and after about 30 minutes the abyss began to stare back. On today's episode I delve into "The Retaliators", a quasi religious, nonsensical romp in absurdity.(and that may not be a bad thing) Although the movie is a disjointed affair, full of plot h...

Needless to say I had this movie circled on my calendar. I started my Holiday weekend off right and took my Black ass to see " The Blackening", and I do have some thoughts. On today's episode I talk the latest film by Tim Story

So it took me about 3000 Years to get to it, but seeing how now I have an outlet to do so I would like to talk about the 2022 George Miller film "3000 Years Of Longing" (starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba). To me the movie is somewhat "Aladin" meets "When Harry Met Sally" and you wouldn't think that would work but here we are. This is less of a review more of just me speaking at length on why I...

I finally got around to watching the highly acclaimed Spanish film "Huesera: The Bone Woman", the directorial debut from Michelle Garza Cervera starring Natalia Solian,and needless to say I have some thoughts. This will be the 1st foreign film I tackle on the podcast and a fine way to commemorate my 13th episode seeing how I had to do something a little different.... (Get it? because the...

In anticipation of the new film by Bomani J. Story "The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster" which is the latest take on Mary Shelley's classic novel "Frankenstien"(The Modern Prometheus), I elected to talk about the oringal book and other films surrounding the mythos of the Shelly's magnum opus.

As "Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.3" ends its opening weekend run, I thought it would be a proper time to talk about James Gunn's latest edition to his trilogy. Being a fan of the franchise I was excited to see this one so needless to say I had some thoughts on the film. I"d say this is less of a review and more of a discussion about plot, themes, and the overall impression the movie left on me.

Today I sit with horror gamer and movie fanatic Juni a.k.a. The Last Junicorn. We talk about our love of the genre go over some are favorites and discuss the upcoming Crystal Lake series.

Now that we've all had a chance to watch the show its time to hear us talk about it. My copilot this time is Brittney and fan of the genre and avid Donald Glover fan. Listen as we discuss the new Amazon Prime limited series "Swarm".

On today's episode I'm joined by reluctant horror fan Nisha Daily (you know the one from Fresno) as we discuss our two favorite editions to long running iconic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film series. From the 1974 original to the 2003 remake we compare and contrast the appeal of both atmospheric art house style of Tobe Hooper's classic and the unrelenting brutality of the Jessica Biel led reboot.

On today's episode Cyn Banks ( Black Audacity Podcast ) crashes the party as we review the new film by Elizabeth Banks " Cocaine Bear", in what will be remembered as the late great Ray Liotta's final film. Join us as we discuss our likes, dislikes and overall absurdity that is Cocaine Bear.

With the conclusion of season one of HBO Max's "Velma" it was only right that we give our final thoughts on the series so far. In a dance of victims & villains, grab your Scooby snacks and "vittles" whilst you listen to a verbose review of "Velma" with my vivacious guest host Camille Gaston. Will my vitriolic views be validated, or will Camille be victorious in her vindication of the shows core va...
