"And I'm Black, y'all! And I'm Black, y'all! I'm Blackety-Black, and I'm Black, y'all!" Happy Black History Month! Since society hasn't caught up and realized that Black history is American history and celebrates it 24/7/365, we're gonna do it up over here at MBG! To kick off the month, we're talking about our favorite Black films! Some classics, some surprises, some brain farts. We also give honor to the legendary Cicely Tyson who recently left to be with the ancestors, kick

Wanda and Vision, sitting in a tree... That's right! Wandavision has finally started airing and we wanna talk about it! This week, we chat about the first three episodes and the current pace of the show. Is it moving in a direction that could sustain the series? Are they playing the long game here? Also, we chat about the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama--QUEEN of the DRIP, and complain about EVERYTHING GETTING FREAKING PUSHED BACK AGAIN! Remember,

We review Umbrella Academy Season 2.

Have you ever sat down to watch a movie, get through it and think, "Goodness gracious, that was a dumpster fire!" But then afterwards, you start to think that you could actually watch it again, and then think that maybe it was actually good? This week, we discuss movies that are so bad they're good. You might be surprised with a few of the choices! Also this week, we discuss people being complete assholes, "Bill & Ted: Face The Music" coming to VOD on September 1st, Predictio

Since the Skywalker Saga has officially wrapped up, we begin to wonder where would the Star Wars franchise go next? This week, we take a dive into some of the stories and side characters we would like to see fleshed out more, or get their real spot in the limelight. We also talk about what happens if you die on a plane, if a home realtor has to disclose that someone died in the house you're looking at buying, and more discussion about the current protests and Black Lives Matt

WE BACK, Y'ALL (though still with an unsettled schedule)! This week, we decided to take a stab and rank the Star Wars movies from worst to best. There's some agreements and some disagreements there, but we can agree that there was definitely some wasted potential in one "individual" movie, LOL! We also discuss what we've been up to during our mental health break, including some more coronavirus info, playing some games, and watching disturbing movies. For more Melanin Be Geek

While we've all been at home, we've seen brackets pop up for all types of things, especially since the NCAA March Madness tournament was cancelled. Well, we took it upon ourselves to look at and work through the Nickelodeon bracket. This week, we worked on the left side of the bracket. We also looked into movies and shows we've finally be catching up on, and made agreements to FINALLY start "The Boys" and finish "The Mandalorian." If you wanna follow along with the bracket, h

Ever read a book or watch a show, come across a creature and think, "Dang it'd be cool AF to have them as a pet!" Well, that's what we dive into this week, looking at our top picks for mythical creatures and which ones would be terrible house pets. We also talk about a surprise Hamilton cast performance on Zoom, a quick Parasite review (mild spoilers 10:15 - 18:00), and Steve Carell's new show Space Force starting in May.

We've all done it. We've imagined what it'd be like, living in the worlds from our favorite books and movies. Some would be nice. Some...not so much. This week, we discuss what universes we would like to live in, and which ones ain't worth it. We also talk about a few movies that have been released early to streaming services, the Clone Wars, and the absolute absurdness that is Tiger King.
