The BizzleCast Podcast by The Bizzle

From the fastest man in the world to a playboy billionaire vigilante who's way cooler than Batman. Not sure which superhero TV show is worth watching? Never fear, because Matty G aka Goose watches ALL of it, and The Bizzle is along for the ride. In the Part 2 of our "State of the Superhero" BizzleCast, that's exactly what we discuss: the highs of the Marvel Netflix (JESSICA JONES, DAREDEVIL) and C...

The first of a two-parter with my partner in crime Matty G. aka Goose, we give to you a snappy but comprehensive State of the Superhero Universe on film, TV, and Netflix. With the stunning success of DEADPOOL, the artistic bomb that was BATMAN v SUPERMAN, and a very good but not all-time great CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR — along with some good but inconsistent TV properties — the future of superher...

Welcome to The Bizzle’s brand new BizzleCast series, BizzleCast TV! I’m starting with my favorite show of 2015 by far, Netflix and Marvel’s JESSICA JONES, winner of a prestigious Peabody Award and nominated for the highly sought after Hugo Award. No intros here - Queue up JESSICA JONES Episode 1 on Netflix, set your TV or device to 0'00"00 and hit play on the podcast and your TV at the same time t...

Robert Downey Jr. hitting on Marisa Tomei as Aunt Mae? Check. Fabulous drama, comedy, and action involving Cap and his buddies Sam (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky (Sebastian Stan)? We got that. Paul Rudd as an Avenger? Brilliant. For the most part, Gabriel, Noah, and the Bizzle loved this movie. Despite some uneven pacing and yet another so-so Marvel villain, the character drama was top notch along wit...

BizzleCast Rapid Response: Spoilerific CIVIL WAR Black Panther-centric mini-cast by The Bizzle (Jesse F. Brenner)

What can you say about the greatest comic book film ever? The word that always comes to mind is "giddy" when I watch MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS, which changed not only the genre but filmmaking forever. While the fabulous “Cap: Winter Soldier” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” more directly precede the upcoming “Cap: Civil War,” THE AVENGERS deploys a giddy joyousness that we Marvel fans are hoping for with...

A flawed but very endearing movie, Chris Evans in “Captain America: The First Avenger” is immediately lovable as Cap (and mini-Cap), but Hayley Atwell as the brilliant and sexy stone-cold badass Agent Peggy Carter absolutely kills it and at many times steals the movie. With excellent assists by Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), Tommy Lee Jones, and Stanley Tucci, "The First Avenger" immediately asser...

The Bizzle has been waiting for this movie since the minute I walked out of my first screening of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” two years ago, and in this NON-SPOILER BizzleCast you’ll see how amped up The Bizzle and senior contributor Matt aka Goose are. "Captain America: Civil War" features the already-acclaimed introduction of T’Challa/Black Panther and the much-needed return of Spider-...

Want to know how to make an excellent DC Comics film? Here's how. Awesome female superhero slash love interest? Thank you Anne Hathaway. Comic booky scary ass villain? Cheers Tom Hardy. All time great emotional support performance? Michael Caine you're the man. Join A-A-Ron and the Bizzle for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES film commentary (looking at you, Mr. Snyder).

BC43: Our most wild and wacky BizzleCast yet! In which Mr. Matt and The Bizzle play “Would You Rather” for crappy movies we’d rather watch than BATMAN v SUPERMAN (there are a lot); where we introduce Spoiler-Blessings (saving you from seeing the movie); and in which the following quotes are made: “Everything Deadpool made fun of two months ago" “A circumcision without the health or religious benef...

With BATMAN v SUPERMAN around the corner, Matt Goisman and I had way more fun re-watching MAN OF STEEL together for the Bizzlecast than either of us did by ourselves. MAN OF STEEL has an exciting if occasionally derivative visual style, courtesy of Zack Snyder. Still, some humorless and cliched dialogue bring down even some of the cooler scenes of the movie, which at times can look spectacular. Th...

If you know me or listen to the BizzleCast (hopefully both) you know how much I love this movie. Love. Relationships. Drama. Action. Comedy. Amazing filmmaking. Flawless, minimalist perfection in writing and execution. Enjoy, BizzleCasters.

The Bizzle and senior contributor Matt Goisman are a pair of super smooth criminals as they gleefully geek out on DEADPOOL. I’m genuinely still in shock that a Rated-R movie about the foul-mouthed and sometimes super cheesy Deadpool — pretty much the only important non-mutant in the mutant X-Men universe — is going to far surpass $500 million and is already the highest grossing of EIGHT (8) X-Men...

The title of this BizzleCast speaks for itself, and with the Oscars coming quickly it’s time to tackle this issue. While CREED and STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON got snubbed, Chris Rock is apparently re-writing his hosting material to make this the “raciest” Academy Awards show ever (and the only real reason to watch). Gabriel aka Kwadwo (his Ghanaian name) is a newly minted BizzleCast co-contributor and...

Here it is: The Bizzle’s Top 3 Blockbuster Movies of 2015. There aren’t necessarily the BEST movies of 2015, though #1 and #2 would still be on that list for me. These are movies that made at least $100m worldwide (hence “blockbuster”) and are Hollywood in the best way possible. If you want to see all the movies that are eligible (there are 40 or so that meet the $100m criteria) head over to BoxOf...

Let’s get to the big news first: BizzleCast three-timer Aaron is officially a BizzleCast Co-Contributor! A hearty congrats, and A-A-Ron BRINGS IT to the commentary for one of our favorite movies, THE DARK KNIGHT (2008). So much to say about this movie, I’ll let our commentary do the talking. And remember: I’M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS. Sign up for BizzleCast on iTunes (keyword: BizzleCast) or use th...

People are digging STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, so the BizzleCast Party is here. Gabriel and Matt join The Bizzle to talk about all the things they loved about the film, and a few things not as much. Rey, Finn, Kylo, Poe, and of course BB-8 - the dialogue and relationships of the new characters truly made this a great movie-watching experience. It’s an excellent start to a franchise reboot, but t...

Forget “STAR WARS” (which was a lot of fun). “CREED” is the movie of the year because of its honesty, its humanism, and its heart. Michael B. Jordan embraces the underdog current of Philadelphia and never lets go. Sly Stallone puts in an Academy Award-worthy turn as the Yoda of boxing. A soundtrack for the ages; a filmmaking landmark for 2015 - Visuals and sound never worked so well together as we...

Bizzle on Star Wars in less than 15 minutes - and you thought this was a usual BizzleCast! NO spoilers here. I really liked this film but didn’t fall in love… yet. Don’t worry- just general impressions, thoughts, and feelings here from the most anticipated film experience in history. J.J. Abrams is very capable, the cast kills it (especially Boyega and most of all Ridley), and it’s beautiful to lo...

A brilliant and wholly original A.I. film that split audiences, Aaron and I believe HER (2013) is not only a classic A.I. film but an excellent movie in its own right. A perfect tonic for all the dystopic A.I. films in the past decades — Blade Runner, Terminator, The Matrix, Ex Machina, etc. — HER nevertheless has some disturbing overtones in both the performances and the implications. But it's th...

"There's no higher compliment to pay this steadily riveting, quietly devastating take on investigative journalism than to say Spotlight gets it right. So did the Spotlight team on The Boston Globe when, in 2002, it published nearly 600 articles on child sex-abuse allegations against Catholic priests and the church cover-ups that followed. The team won a Pulitzer for its scalding exposé. And right...

Yes, you read correctly. No, The Bizzle hasn't lost his mind. Full Prequel film commentaries? Why, you ask?? Well, with THE FORCE AWAKENS coming very soon, Bizzle wants to talk about “When Keeping It (un)Real Goes Wrong: Star Wars Edition.” I had a blast with these Prequel commentaries - and it'll give you a way to have fun rewatching movies that you might not otherwise. Let the Bizzle be your gui...

We made it to 30!!!! The Bizzle is thrilled to celebrate this landmark by sitting down with fellow Wesleyan alum and current professional sports reporter Matt Goisman ’05 to discuss 'Star Trek,' its relationship to 'Star Wars,’ and the cultural relevance of their unique visions of the future (past?). But as so often happens when two masters of nerdiness have a chat, the conversation quickly morphe...

Gabriel and Dietz join the Bizzle to rap on the trailers and excitement for “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.” This is a non-spoiler podcast, although we do put forth some theories based purely on the trailers and what we hope to see. We discuss the importance of casting a young woman (Daisy Ridley) and young black man (John Bodega) as the lead characters of Star Wars in 2015, and how far...

Everything’s shiny on SERENITY (2005)! As part of my lead-up to Star Wars, I'm releasing film commentaries for my favorite space opera movies. My Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) and Star Trek (2009) commentaries have been big hits, but I now bring you the best film of them all: SERENITY (2005) - Joss Whedon's magnum opus finale to the cult hit FIREFLY series and my favorite space "opera" (comedy) s...
