The BizzleCast Podcast by The Bizzle

Crossing Streams hits Episode 8! After a brief opening diversion on the "Dune" novels brought on by Matty G. subtitling the episode "aka Sandworms of Crossing Streams," the Bizzle gets the low down on "The Americans," the best show on tv that you're probably not watching. From there it's on to "The Expanse," which has Matt raving about the long-awaited return of Jared Harris as Anderson Dawes and...

“Logan” is clearly the best solo Wolverine movie ever, but “Days of Future Past” is arguably the best overall X-Men movie thus far, and it could never have achieved its critical and financial success without Hugh Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine front and center with the great young X-Men including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Holt. Like a number of my commentaries, t...

The Bizzle has released full film commentaries for “Serenity,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Martian,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Star Trek (2009),” “Contact,” and “Moon,” among his favorite scifi films. Here is one that has grown on me greatly over the past couple years: “Interstellar” by Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan is one of those directors who I always feel is a bit overrated,...

Highly underrated. Extremely influential. Perfectly combines the thill of the scientific project with the high adventure of inter-spatial time-traveling of the greatest hard science fiction space operas. “CONTACT” most importantly gets spectacular performances from its leads in Jodie Foster (and young Ellie, Jenna Malone!) and the irascible and unstoppable Matthew McConaughey. One of the great sci...

Crossing Streams hits lucky number 7! After the Bizzle and Matty G each make a movie recommendation (Jesse adores "Logan," Matt gushes over "Get Out”) the dynamic duo moves on to an interesting thought experiment: Would "Supergirl" have become what it's become (a thoughtful and highly conscious social and political commentary) if Hillary Clinton had won the presidential election? Then it's on to "...

As bloody as you think it is, it’s bloodier. As good as you think it might be, it’s even better. If you like anything about this cast, this universe, or dark, smart, disturbing, relevant, and affecting rated-R movies — see this immediately. Thank you, Hugh Jackman, for your unbelievable 17-year contribution to cinematic awesomeness with a single character. Your dedication and passion most assuredl...

I am thrilled to bring on my close friend and African music guru Eric Herman to discuss Islam, Bill Maher, Trump, Mali, the Maple Leafs, Hillary, the problems of liberalism and cultural relativism, the Oscars, and more! An all-time great BizzleCast. CHECK OUT: www.modiba.net www. MD6Artists.com www.vieuxfarkatoure.com www.bombinomusic.com www.heyhite.com www.ladamaproject.org www.sierraleonesrefug...

"Crossing Streams" turns 6 in our latest episode! The Biz and Matty G are still split on "Legion" - Matt loves the sheer terror of the latest episode, while Jesse found the grotesquely humorous imagery as oddly reminiscent of "Donnie Darko," one of his favorite films. The co-hosts are much more on the same page about "The Expanse," whose latest episode was a terrific mix of stunningly gorgeous CGI...

Winners? Losers? Duds? Betting odds? All right here featuring Papa Bizzle himself! We hit up all the movies (other than Hacksaw Ridge, sorry Mel Gibson) and we've got opinions, baby! TABLE OF CONTENTS Intro: 00:00 La La Land: 4:33 Manchester By The Sea: 27:00 Hell Or High Water & Hidden Figures: 48:30 Moonlight: 1:01:00 Arrival: 1:23:20 Fences: 1:43:00 Lion: 1:59:10 Oscars Betting Odds: 2:17:30 Ch...

The Bizzle and Matty G kick things off by urging you to GO SEE NOW "The LEGO Batman Movie," which is a hysterical satire of both DC and comic book movies in general and has a great heart. Matt breaks down AMC's mid-season premiere of "The Walking Dead," which continues to find ways to make mass slaughter look fun, along with the Season 2 premiere for AMC's "Humans," and what it has (and doesn't ha...

Matty G and The Bizzle dive in on the series premiere of FX's "Legion," a gorgeous, bizarre piece of television that seems to be at its weakest when discussing anything related to mutants or X-Men, which unfortunately is the central premise of the show. We tackle another great new episode of "The Expanse," which figured out that showing characters doing stuff unrelated to the main plot goes a long...

The BizzleCast is back, baby! Through the influence of Blues Leader, The Bizzle aka Red Leader was seduced by the power of the “Star Wars Rebels” force, both Light and Dark. Excellent animation, surprisingly deep characters, and lots of hot Jedi lightsaber action combine with phenomenal world-building in that Far, Far Away Galaxy we love so much. Here are some reasons why we really dig this show.

The Bizzle and Matty G are all-in on the season premiere of "The Expanse”, a show both of us watched with some skepticism but were surprised at how compelling it turned out to be, while at the same time maintaining concerns with the way some of the characters are being handled. Then we turn our attention to the CW. Biz unleashes out an emotional rant about his increasing disappointment with “Arrow...

Welcome to Episode 2 of the “CROSSING STREAMS“ podcast — aka "Attack of the Streams." This week we're going all in on the mid-season CW premiers, as the Bizzle joyfully joins the ranks of "Supergirl" fans and Matty G questions how much longer "The Flash" can keep up the time travel. Jesse raves about "Star Wars Rebels" and Matt continues to praise Cameron Monaghan as possibly the only fun thing to...

CROSSING STREAMS makes its triumphant debut! Can anyone out-Tom Hardy Tom Hardy on "Taboo?" Does it matter how a person gets superpowers on "Agents of SHIELD?" And is there something Matty G actually, gasp, likes about "Gotham?" And as a special bonus, Matty and Biz have an intense debate over the value of spending one’s time rewatching great movies (Biz) vs watching new but mediocre show (Matt)....

Love TV and streaming shows but don’t have time to watch everything? Want to know the best highlights and worst lowlights each week? The BizzleCast’s brand new podcast “Crossing Streams” will bring you all this and more. Check out this intro episode to hear about the shows we will be following and how our concise, weekly podcast is going to go. Starring Matty G. and The Bizzle!

To quote Sarah Silverman: “Meryl Streep changes the world by waking us up with a kiss on the forehead.” Jimmy Fallon was in form as his drunk and alcoholic self, while Hollywood gazed at its old ass navel with nostalgic fluff like La La Land. The Edge of Seventeen had to be there as a comedy, it was almost offensive. What happened to the spine of the foreign press? Just seems like a pregame to the...

BC79: My final and deepest dive on an all-time great scifi film; big big ups to all BC contributors, especially Matty G aka Goose and Blues Leader aka Adam Dietzz for their awesome contributions leading up to this movie.

My first full spoiler review, with BizzleCast co-contributor Blues Leader aka Adam Dietz! TWL (Things We Love) include Saw, Krenic, K-2, Cherrut, Diego "Ehud" Luna, and the Greatest Space Battle Ever. Period.

Seeing ROGUE ONE with my Mama was amazing. That she loved it like I did was delicious icing on the cake. Thus begins my spoilery praise of this brilliant movie, which experiencing with my mom for a second time was even better than I thought.

The Trump-volk were right to fear this movie; it’s bordering on a radical political viewpoint and gets that point across through a classic Star Wars world that feels totally like our own. Forget lovable main characters and lovable non-main characters - this movie completely blurs that line and has you truly invested in all members of the massive army of good/trying-to-be-good guys, not just the th...

It’s all in the title. We liked some of these, loved a few others, and were perplexed by a few. But we are very excited for Hailee Steinfeld, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, and many more. Let Papa and Junior Bizzle take you through this crazy hodgepodge of nominations in the bizarre year of film that was 2016.

You kinda need to watch this before ROGUE ONE drops this week - ok, you don’t have to - given its proximity in terms of timeline to the new “Star Wars Story” movie. But when I revisited this movie last year, ten years later after it sealed my horrid disappointment with the Prequel Trilogy, I actually found myself - dare I say it - liking this movie! It was the most fun, the least cheesy, Hayden Ch...

Pumped for ROGUE ONE? We definitely are. Nevertheless, Blues Leader (Dietz) and Red Leader (Bizzle) focus just as much on the amazing legacy of 1990s Star Wars computer games (the Hand of the Emperor!), the difference between “official” Star Wars and “canonical” works, the role that REBELS plays in the larger mythology, the awesomeness of Kathleen Kennedy (current president of LucasFilm), Donnie Y...

It's an Invasion! The CW debuted its first four-part (or maybe 3.1-part) crossover between "Supergirl," "The Flash," "Arrow" and “The Legends of Tomorrow" this week, and the Bizzle and resident DC/CW expert Matty G (aka Goose) are back to break down every glorious, action-packed second! We look at what worked (almost all of it) and what didn't (Katie Cassidy's cameo, but that's about it), discuss...
