2 Black Nerds

Boy do we have a lot to talk about this week! Starting off with some movies and tv shows that we've caught recently, Netflix's 'SYNCHRONIC' (2:22), Hulu's 'PALM SPRINGS' (10:32) , and Amazon Prime Video's 'THEM' (18:20). Some are great while others...aren't so much. Plus as per usual we always have to talk about the latest episode of 'FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER' (33:05). Also the Oscar's (1:33:27) are around the corner and it's time for us to give our final predictions before the big night! While some nominees have clear paths to win there are some that are still very much in the air. The news and trailers (2:18:30) this week have also been flowing in, from 'FAST 9' to Marvel Studios' 'SHANG-CHI' there's a bunch to touch on. And last but certainly not least we lost a two people who made a footprint in their respective industries in Helen McCrory and Black Rob. Both touched lives in their own way from Peeky Blinders to 'Woah', may they rest in peace.

YOOOOOOO. This is part one of a very special 2 Black Nerds episode. This week we have some near and dear friends joining us, Jarrell and Kevin with Evenflow Coffee (2:55) . Evenflow Coffee is a company that was created to merge interests in fashion, music, and coffee consumption to present a new innovative edge that hasn't been seen in the market before. Jarrell and Kevin aren't here just to talk about their company, they're also here to discuss with us some big topics, including that of the premiere of 'FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER' (28:19) as well as the current state and future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (72:40).

There wasn't much to watch this past week in terms of new films but Tom Holland and the Russo brothers did give us at least something to check out with Cherry (2:53) but was it worth it? The Oscar Nominations (18:50) are here, and it seems that the Academy just might be on to something here, but we'll see. Also the Grammy Awards (51:20) happened and Megan and Beyonce pretty much ran everything, to no surprise. Join the nerds in a smaller review episode about some big topics.

Spoilers! The saga of WandaVision has ended so we've compiled all of our previous reviews of every single episode from the 24th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On the January 19th pod, we kicked things off by discussing the first two episodes of WandaVision, 'Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience,' and 'Don't Touch That Dial' (1:18). Then, we break down the birth of Wanda's children and confrontation with Monica Rambeau in 'Now in Color' (29:11). After watching episode 4, 'We Interrupt This Program,' we unpack the introduction of S.W.O.R.D. into the MCU and the adventures of Monica (45:44). Our Feburary 9th pod saw us breaking down the biggest surprise of the series yet: the introduction of Evan Peters as Pietro (1:16:37)! After the shocking reveal, things get spooky in episode 6, 'All-New Halloween Spooktacular,' where we discuss Wanda's epic display of power and Vision's journey to discover the truth (1:51:28). Inevitably, the truth does come to light in the series' seventh episode, 'Breaking the Fourth Wall,' as we find out it's been Agatha all along (2:22:29). After understanding who the true villain is, we react to the emotionally wrenching moments of the penultimate episode, 'Previously On' (2:55:02). Finally, we address whether or not 'The Series Finale' succeeding at concluding the story in a satisfying way (3:46:57), and provide our final thoughts on the series as a whole (4:26:51). 

What a busy busy week. 2 Black Nerds hosted another movie night this past weekend watching 'The United States Vs Billie Holiday' (5:24), Minari came out (16:30), Tom and Jerry came out (24:53), another episode of WandaVision happened (32:52), the Golden Globes happened (1:24:37), and Paramount released their lineup for new content on their upcoming streaming service (1:45:00). Join your favorite nerds in another week of critiques and discussion in the world of nerdom.

Another week, another episode of WandaVision to discuss. Also Jordan and Desmund were able to check out some much anticipated films for the year. Plus the Mortal Kombat and Cruella trailers have dropped! A reminder that this weeks #2BNMovieNight is The United State vs Billie Holiday

Malcolm & Marie was one of the most anticipated films of 2021 and we finally got to watch it, and of course we have a lot of thoughts. Besides the M&M hype Jordan checked out Netflix's Pieces of a Woman and Desmund checked out the latest Tracee Ellis Ross film The High Note. And of course it wouldn't be right if we didn't talk about the latest episode of WandaVision. Join the 2 Black Nerds in another week of reviews, and a celebration of pop culture.

Happy Black History Month! Another week has passed and we've lost one of the biggest icons of our lifetime, Cicely Tyson. She was supposed to live forever, the movie industry will never be the same. Among other things Jordan and Desmund watched some movies over the weekend including The Little Things, Sound of Metal, Outside the Wire, and Batman: Soul of the Dragon. Also it's time to talk about another episode of WandaVision because things are getting WEIRD.

It's a new season! And Jordan and Desmund finally have some Marvel content to discuss, WandaVision. They also discuss the first 2 Black Nerds Movie Night of the year One Night In Miami among some other films and tv shows they've been watching. Plus there's even more news on whats to come this year in movies and video games. Even more recently we've lost a hip-hop legend MF DOOM so the nerds discuss his legacy and what he meant to the industry.

Oh boy what a year it's been. As 2020 comes to an end there's been a lot of good, and some not so good content that has been released. Join Jordan and Desmund in wrapping up this year in the best way they know how - being as black and nerdy as possible.
