By now, if you haven't seen the movie Get Out, you must have surely heard about it. The racially tinged social experiment written, produced and directed by the hilarious Jordan Peele, has taken movie goers on a wild ride. Some call it racist. Some call it bizarre. I call it a solid movie with interesting societal mores on race and the races in America. This week as we finally break from our Podcast hiatus. I talk about my feelings on the movie. I also share a very cool article I found on the verysmartbrothas.com website that pokes fun at white and black friendships. I round out this week's discussion with some nerd chat with a mini Logan review and Wonder Woman trailer reaction.
Seeing isn't always believable when you are seen somewhere someone thinks you shouldn't be. And this week we talk about it on our The 5by5 Podcast. If you are grown and have no one to answer to but yourself, why should you or anyone care if they have seen you somewhere they think you should have not been. Also, Can you really have a twitter war with someone if they do not respond to you? Lastly, I hate caskets and dead people. I hate even more when they show up in photos on social media. But, this new way to memorialize your deceased loved one has thrown me for a loop. I mean I turned about seven cartwheels trying to get the images out of my head. What is it you say? What can make a fat boy do gymnastics? THEME FUNERALS!! Yes, a small but growing number of funeral homes are offering to display your loved one in a scene from their life. #SideEye.. Listen to all of the messy details on this week's "Didn't I See You?" episode of The 5by5 Podcast.
For the second year in a row, The 5by5 Podcast has participated in the annual www.Pride48.com Live Streaming Event to honor Pride Month. This year we had a Sunday time slot and it could not have been better. I normally try to share more of myself and my geek passion when I am doing this sort of event. So they got the full GLITTER AND THE GEEK treatment. With topics like Which Superhero Do You Think Has The Strangest Penis? What Superhero Would You Hook Up With? and The Top Must Have Gay and Gay Friendly Comic Books, it was a fun time. Congratulations to Auntie Vera Charles for winning our contest by knowing who was the first actress to portray Wonder Woman in a live action production.
I have seen this all over the Internet lately. I guess people are trying to find alternative ways to heat their homes this very cold winter. Well not everything is meant for you to do in your home. I don't understand all these YouTube challenges either. I mean, do you want to hurt yourself? Or I just might be old. LOL. Tonight's episode featured the 411 on these DIY flower pot heaters. I'm just not doing it in my house. I also give my take on the proposed Wonder Woman origin revamp for the Batman Vs. Superman movie. I dunno about this one fanboys, but I kind of see it. The Doctors shared a quiz about sugar addiction and I wasn't surprised about my results. Finally, as promised, I give you the scoop on Evander Holyfield's apparent feelings on gays needing to be fixed because we chose our lifestyle. *side eye*
Well there is a new Amazon Princess in town and she looks nothing like anyone expected. Israeli actress and model Gal Gadot. I had the same response. I had not heard of her until the announcement earlier this week. But, the powers have made their decision. And fanboys everywhere are wondering if it's set in stone. Check out the show and tell me what you think of the casting of Ms. Gadot as our new Wonder Woman
Welcome back! We haven't had a Fanboy Friday (now weekly) post in awhile. But, this show is a good and informative one. Listen in as we chat about the new Marvel Infinity comic book that just came out. If you remember during Free Comic Book Day the Infinity prequel book was one of the giveaways. But, now it's here in all it's glory. The cover is awesome and the artwork is great. You will also find an offer for a digital copy and a bonus copy. I'll tell you how during the show!
Also, I give a small review about the animated movie Superman Unbound. It's a pretty good story and I felt like it was sequel to Batman/Superman Apocalypse. I thought so it featured Supergirl and the elements from the first movie kind of led into this one. But, that is just my opinion. I also loved the fact the Matt Bomer was voice lead for Superman/Clark. I recently found out that he was married to his boyfriend. If you remember Matt, he stars in the show White Collar and was one of the strippers in Magic Mike.
Finally, the main focus of this blog and he show. The Amazon Princess, daughter of Paradise Island:
WONDER WOMAN!!
We chat about why we cannot get a good live action feature for our favorite heroine. I think they should use the very well written animated movie for material. We have WW in so many animated movies and television cartoons, it's hard for me to believe that she can't get her own show. I also asked the question: Who was the first actress to play Wonder Woman on TV? The answer Cathy Lee Crosby. Yes, she did! It was horrible and probably the worst version of our gal in red, white and blue. She had no powers, blonde hair and no lasso. It was the predecessor to the late 70's television series starring Linda Carter.
We all remember the failed NBC pilot for Wondy, where Adriana Palicki was suited up in the satin tights. Fanboys and girls were not having the new look. After the pilot, NBC shut it down and once again WW was a dream. Recently, TheCW played with the idea of a prequel called Amazon. It was also shelved. So what is it going to take? I think if we can wait long enough. She should be introduced in the Superman/ Batman movie. And if the reception is good branch out on her own.
This week's Throwback goes to Mr. Speed himself: Flash.
The Flash Television series was before it's time. Check out John Wesley Ship's Flash and listen to the show for some information about our speedster.
This week on Fanboy Friday we talk about the Season Premiere of True Blood. I was not that enthused. But, don't get me wrong I enjoyed it. The one person I am over in this series is Jason Stackhouse. It looks like they have changed Tara. We didn't see much from Sam Merlotte or Lafayette, but I am sure both of their stories will grow. I hope they don't ruin the Bill Compton character with this whole Billith thing. It could get a little old. I wonder if this will be the last year for this show. I know it's going strong, but how long can it really go. I need to read the books.
Also, Teen Wolf is back and not only does Scott and Derek have to fight off Boyd the moon starved wolf. There is a new player in town killing virgins. And is Stiles the next victim. Allison is hunting on here own. And Lydia is going crazy again. Peter is the usual asshole.
AppleTv finally adds HBO Go and Watch ESPN to their line up. And I give you this
weeks top Superhero IOS Apps.
