GABRIEL: Welcome back! We’re here for another Geekly Goods all-out conversation about videogames. This is Three Guys Talk! Today, we’ll be talking about the so-called masterpiece “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” (let’s refer to it as BOTW from now on), released almost 4 years ago but still making the conversation as a true classic. Isaac, let’s start with you. What do you … Continue reading Three Guys Talk! | The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is Just as Engaging 4 years After Release

“Dragon Ball Super: Broly” proves that the series works as a show, but not a movie

For most of my life, I’ve been a massive “Dragon Ball” fan. “Dragon Ball Z” was my life when I was growing up. I must’ve watched it and rewatched it 3-4 times throughout, and I kept enjoying every minute of it. The characters are fantastic, but perhaps the most important part of it is how imaginative and crazy it is. It’s a show that merges … Continue reading “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” proves that the series works as a show, but not a movie

M. Night Shyamalan’s “Servant” may be worth an Apple TV+ trial

AppleTV+? Is that the thing you buy at BestBuy? No, wait, it’s that thing with the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon show, right? RIGHT?! Yes, that’s right. You may not know much about AppleTV+ (I know I didn’t), but getting a new iPhone meant that I was getting a free one-year subscription. Apparently the subscription was for a very prestige-looking streaming service crammed with movies … Continue reading M. Night Shyamalan’s “Servant” may be worth an Apple TV+ trial

Should You Buy “Super Mario 3D All-Stars”?

GABRIEL: Hello everyone! I’ve been meaning to try something like this in an article with Geekly Goods, and who better to do it with than my friend Isaac @PixarNerdStudio, who is a huge videogame fan and went just as crazy as me and got “Super Mario 3D All-Stars” on opening day. There’s so much to play in this thing, so I have to shamefully admit … Continue reading Should You Buy “Super Mario 3D All-Stars”?

Streaming Selects for October 2020 PART 1: 3 Horror Movies to Stream RIGHT NOW

It’s October again, which means it’s time to talk some horror. While I love standard horror favorites like “Friday the 13th” or “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, I’ll use this chance to talk about some movies that work well with the genre while expanding it into new character-based stories. Perhaps because of that, some of these did not do as well as the box office … Continue reading Streaming Selects for October 2020 PART 1: 3 Horror Movies to Stream RIGHT NOW

How the “Happy Death Day” series brings a struggling subgenre to life

Cinema has been around for over a century. It took a while for it to figure itself out as an art form, which led to the creation of genres, i.e. socially agreed-upon conventions that apply to a kind of film. Once genres were defined, artists were given the opportunity to create and put their ideas on the screen, and this creativity resulted in something called … Continue reading How the “Happy Death Day” series brings a struggling subgenre to life

Let’s focus on the quality of “Tenet,” not the box office

Last night, I was LUCKY enough to be able to catch “Tenet” at a drive-in theater in my hometown (you can catch my full non-spoiler review here). I’m using the word LUCKY in all caps because we’re living in a time where the film’s writer and director, Christopher Nolan, seems to have pushed Warner Bros’ decision to release his landmark film at a time where … Continue reading Let’s focus on the quality of “Tenet,” not the box office

WHAT YEAR IS IT?! “Scream” has been trending a lot lately, and especially today because it was just confirmed that Neve Campbell will be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming “Scream 5”. With both David Arquette and Courteney Cox also lined up to return, we’ll get the whole gang will be together again (if only Randy was still alive…). It feels like … Continue reading Neve Campbell confirmed to return for “Scream 5” but let’s talk “Scream 4”

Streaming Selects for September 2020 PART 1: 3 Movies to Stream RIGHT NOW

Stallone! For this entry of my Streaming Selects ongoing series, I picked 3 films starring the Italian Stallion himself, none of which have the name “Rocky” or “Rambo” in the title – which means you’re probably not as familiar with them. There are few actors that can gracefully deliver a tongue-in-cheek but not overly comedic take on the action genre, and Stallone is definitely one … Continue reading Streaming Selects for September 2020 PART 1: 3 Movies to Stream RIGHT NOW

How “Cobra Kai” succeeds with nostalgia where others fail

Anyone that follows me on Twitter has likely noticed that I’ve spent the last few days obsessing over “Cobra Kai”, and I even wrote an article on my own site explaining why you should go watch the show, if you haven’t already (that recommendation still stands, so go here if you need to read why it’s a great idea to join the dojo). This time, … Continue reading How “Cobra Kai” succeeds with nostalgia where others fail
