The Eternals Easter Eggs and Things You May Have Missed
As you might imagine, I’m more into Star Trek, but I love me some Marvel movies. I am always fascinated by how someone with esoteric knowledge can look upon something and see something totally differently than I did. Peep the New Rockstars video below for more than you every would have guessed could be contained in the teaser trailer. Marvel does an amazing job of connecting themes and concepts…

Marvel Studios' Eternals: Official Teaser
Marvel Studios’ Eternals: Official Teaser
Credit: Youtube/Marvel Studios Have you seen the teaser yet?! Marvel is getting better at not giving much away in its trailers. You know, people are gonna complain either way, but I am in the “less is more” camp. Directed by recent Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao, this is Marvel’s most anticipated movie in a very long time. And, this is kinda deep cut because the majority of people don’t know who the…

Black Trekkie Gets Political
Black Trekkie Gets Political
Wikimedia USA! USA! USA! Aw hell, here we go…Star Trek has always been political, so no need to shy away from discussing politics here. Did you watch President Joe Biden’s April 28, 2021 address to Congress? I hope you did because this speech felt like we might be on the precipice of a cultural shift. There was direct discussion of the need for reform and progress on human rights, racial…

Falcon and the Winter Soldier Finale: Did they stick the landing?
Falcon and the Winter Soldier Finale: Did they stick the landing?
Credit: Disney Plus You know how sometimes you eat until you’re full, yet you’re still hungry? That’s how I felt about the finale of Falcon and The Winter Soldier. This series was an origin story to ease us into seeing The Falcon, a black man, as the new Captain America. Falcon tried to walk away from the mantle after it was thrust upon him by Steve Rogers. In the process of the buddy cop…

Update: When did the phrase"Kirk Out" enter the Black lexicon?
Update: When did the phrase”Kirk Out” enter the Black lexicon?
One of my most visited posts is about the origins of the idiom “Kirk Out”. These days, it generally means extreme, maniacal anger, but perhaps it didn’t start out that way. A user named Raoul graced my page and left a comment stating that Bootsy Collins had said it on his song “Ah… The Name is Bootsy, Baby!” The album came out in 1977 and reached number one on Billboard’s Top RnB/Soul albums…

Superman and Lois: Small Town Values with Some Butt-kicking Action So Far
Superman and Lois: Small Town Values with Some Butt-kicking Action So Far
First, Spoiler Alert if you haven’t been watching so far. Lex Luthor is Black. I must admit that I got excited when I saw him. We’ve only seen him once so far, but we know he is Black, wealthy, technologically advanced, and angry. I tried to get into the show Krypton and just couldn’t do it, but Superman and Lois treads a more familiar path, and perhaps pathos. How can one feel pity for a…

Lower Decks Season 2 Trailer
Lower Decks Season 2 Trailer
Credit: Paramount Plus This has to be the most unexpected, sleeper hit of all of the Star Treks. Nobody would have thought we needed another animated series, but this is everything! So many deep cuts that appeal to hardcore Trekkies and enjoyable for even the casual viewer. Seriously, no Star Trek has ever had a solid first season. Ever. Until now. After the newest Star Trek movies, Discovery,…

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: Do Viewers Realize that Karli Morgenthau is Black?
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: Do Viewers Realize that Karli Morgenthau is Black?
Credit:@whereisthebuzztv Everyone is enjoying The Falcon & Winter Soldier, right? The show has stimulated some good awareness of the atrocities committed against black people (note, everything is not about the Tuskegee experiment.) Once one tragedy enters the public awareness, we have a tendency to run it into the group. We still need to have a larger, deeper conversation about the treatment and…

Black to the Future: Justice for George Floyd
Black to the Future: Justice for George Floyd
I hope I never need to write a post like this again….but, it is extremely likely that I will. My heart is heavy. It aches for all of the lives lost due to individual and systemic racism and bigotry, but what I want to highlight in this post is xenophobia. Sometimes, I worry that the words racism and bigotry have run the euphemism treadmill to become so trite and cliche that we have forgotten the…

What What?! Worf is Coming Back to Star Trek!

Aka When They Try to Touch Your Hair. Get ’em, Ayo! Credit: MarvelMovieClips on Youtube This scene spoke to my soul. How many times has someone invaded your personal space without permission? These “pointy sticks” are made of vibranium, Great Value Captain America. And, Bucky thinking his interceding would somehow stop the fight? Nope, you can catch these hands too, Buck. LOL Thankfully, this…

The New Mutants: Whew lawd
The New Mutants: Whew lawd
You ever watch a movie that was so bad that it made you mad??? I remember hearing about this movie when it was in development. Peeps were a little excited because, let’s be honest, we all yearn for a good X-men movie. This was initially marketed that way. I’m convinced that rumor got started before anyone saw the actual storyboards for this. In fact, I choose to believe that the studio greenlit…

So much has happened! I hope you are loving all the representation!
So much has happened! I hope you are loving all the representation!
I haven’t written on here in such a long time. Honestly, I haven’t been sure that my input was needed. There are so many black geek/blerd blogs out there now and so much energy about afrofuturism that I haven’t been sure what my unique contribution could/should be. But, we still out here, y’all! Also, it seems like all of these blogs are getting sneak peeks of new shows and products. How does…

Luke Cage Review: There's Something Powerful About Seeing a Black Man That's Bulletproof and Unafraid.
Luke Cage Review: There’s Something Powerful About Seeing a Black Man That’s Bulletproof and Unafraid.
Tumblr media
If you’re reading this blog, you probably have been waiting for Luke Cage to be released with baited breath.  I’ve been checking my Netflix repeatedly to see if it would be released a little early.  How greedy am I? In all seriousness, we need to give Netflix kudos for making a show that was so black. Black with a capital B!  The director, the female lead, Pop’s barbershop, Biggie with the crown,…
