The Nerd Off: (Protected Content)
What up Rod, Karen, and Kriss,
I listen to the show for the news and what to watch. Y’all have put me on to some of my favorite shows and especially new anime to watch. Y’all haven’t let me down yet, but I gotta admit, I had my doubts about Shazam.
Ok, so Fandango was offering up advanced tickets to Shazam where I live. And because Kriss gave it so much praise, I went to see it. KNEE-GROWS! Look I’m not gonna say the movie had me dying laughing. I’m not gonna say it has more emotional depth than any other movie that DC has ever made. Hell, I’m not even gonna say it’s the best, most complete movie that DC has ever made. But if you said those things I wouldn’t argue with you.
Kriss is right, the trailers dont do this movie justice. But I actually kinda liked that. Shazam is full of surprises, lots of funny scenes and good cameos.
Sorry I ever doubted you. I’ll never do it again…until the Flash fucks this season up in the last 2 episodes.
Peace y’all.
Shout out to Angela Kang the gawd MC!! Almost everybody jumped ship and finally had enough with the Walking Dead, meanwhile this is the best the show has been in years. Talk your shit! All they had to do was move Scott Gimple out of the paint and it’s refreshing how much life has been injected back into this show.
And speaking of giving respect where it’s due, I’ve been quiet for a minute but Supergirl has really been the best superhero show on tv this year. I was a little unsure when they announced Jon Cryer as Lex, but he’s been killing it. That nigga is EVIL!
But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Who else but Marvel can change the whole game dropping posters? And who else but Kriss will still be grabbing the Captain America shield and killing time by getting Zack Snyder fanboys to hurt themselves in their own confusion? Shout out to the best crew in the game still going strong.
Hi Rod, Kriss, Aaron and hopefully Karen,
I bought a ticket to Shazam based in Kriss’s recommendation. I’m hoping .that I don’t have to add Kris’s to my list on black men I side-eye every time they say something. My concern about Shazam is clearly DC centered. I don’t see them really promoting the film, or at least in my opinion, promoting it well. I also think they picked a bad release date because everyone I know who is talking about going to see a movie the weekend on April 5th is talking about Pet Semetary, which isn’t surprising given the massive success of the first part of IT. So, unless Shazam gets phenomenal reviews and Pet Semetary received horrible reviews, DC might have done better to release the film either the week before, or the week following Pet Semetary.
I am curious to hear if anyone is looking forward to Marvel’s War of the Realms. This series is going to be the first I buy in physical form since returning to comics. I decided to start with this series because I really like Jason Aaron’s work and the preview art I saw looks amazing. Because I live in a majority white area and I wanted this experience to be fully positive, I made my purchase through Amalgam Comics because it is owned by a black woman. I can’t wait to start reading.
As always, I’m looking forward to the cast and learning about more nerd shit.
