We’re taking Episode 196 back to the early ‘90s with a review and discussion of the cult classic superhero comedy Blankman. Joined by our brother Austin, a huge fan of the film, we break down this unique take on a 90s superhero movie and how it stands out as one of the early Black superhero movies in cinema. Starring Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier, Blankman tells the story of a self-made hero trying to protect his neighborhood from criminals, mob bosses, and corruption. During the episode we dive into the relationship between Darryl and Kevin, discuss what makes Blankman such a memorable 90s comedy movie, and talk about how it compares to other early Black superhero films like The Meteor Man. Along the way, we also get into some fun conversations about whether we’d ever become superheroes ourselves, plus a few personal stories from our past dating experiences. One thing we couldn’t gloss over was the lasting impact of the Wayans family comedy legacy. From classic TV shows to iconic films, the Wayans dynasty has been shaping comedy since the ‘80s. That naturally led us to share our thoughts on the recently released trailer for Scary Movie 6 and what it could mean for fans of the franchise. If you love 90s movies, Black cinema, cult classic movie reviews, and movie podcast discussions, this episode is for you. We get right into it… and of course ask the most important question, Was It Good Though?
