BLADE I & II - Celebrating the GLORY of Wesley Snipes' Blade franchise & Proposing a way FORWARD for the MCU!
Marshala Al-WHATNOW?! There is ONLY ONE BLADE, mutha fucker! Weasley Snipes made that character hot, it was a "C" list concept before screenwriter, comic book fan & comic book writer introduced film audiences to the concept of SCIENCE FICTION VAMPIRES using Blade, a relatively obscure character from the Marvel Universe as a vehicle for this awesome twist on vampire lore. A twist that held UNTOLD possibilities for the Marvel Comic book universe then and the CONNECTED Marvel Cinematic Universe NOW! Join Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Geek Alive and he gushes over the first two Blades, praises Wesley Snipes physical condition & talent, bows down to the visual stylings of Guillermo del Toro and dusts off a PITCH for BLADE that never happened at Marvel Comics, for all the wrong reasons, but would fit PERFECTLY into the Marvel CINEMATIC Universe TODAY!

Show notes

This week, the internet attempted to cancel one of geek culture's biggest "influencers", but is "Nerdrotic" or any of the other major geek culture YouTubers really to blame for the "radicalization" of fans...? Are they amplifying negativity or just harnessing the frustration already there? Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Geek Alive, believes he knows the truth. He's such a fucking know-it-all. ;)

So I Married An Ax Murderer" w/ Mike Myers - COOLEST CLASSICS! Aug 03, 2024

Show notes

“Sometimes there’s a film… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a film. And I’m talkin’ about the “So I Married An Ax Murderer” here. Sometimes there’s a film that, well, it’s THE film for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that’s the “So I Married An Ax Murderer”, in early 90s. And even if the film kinda bombed upon its initial release – and “So I Married An Ax Murderer” most certainly did. But sometimes there’s a film… sometimes, there’s a film. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve done introduced it enough.” - Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Narrator Alive

RDJ as DOOM!?! (Why FANS HATE IT!) Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

This past weekend Marvel made a HUGE announcement at its "Hall H" panel at San Diego Comic Con: Robert Downey Junior is RETURNING to the MCU...as DOCTOR DOOM?! This bizarre and tone deaf choice has led to a truly mixed and peculiar reaction from fans who have been clamoring for not only the first family of the Marvel Universe to be done justice to, but THEIR quintessential villain, & honestly perhaps the quintessential villain, Doctor Victor Von Doom to be done justice to and not that dream seems so far off in the distance, displaced by the star power of RDJ. Well, the CGA, mister JBS has a little something to say about it all!

Show notes

Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman, what you've just created is one of the most insanely awesome things the Coolest Geek Alive & his TWO young CHILDREN have ever seen!

Every listener of this podcast will be better for having watched your film. We award you all of the points, and may God bless your souls eternally.

Amazon's "The BOYS" from STUD to DUD: WHY we CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS! Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

When Amazon released the 1st season of "The Boys" the Coolest Geek Alive was THRILLED with the adaptation that improved upon its source material in many ways. A great cast delivered on the promise that its comic book premise held by humanizing the debaucherous superheroes of their world & making them a bit more than the cartoon cutouts often depicted in the comics. But 3 seasons later and Jesse Blaze Snider has come to warn you and break down the subtle and insidious changes and hyper politicization that has brought the shows "audience score" below 50% with season 4.

Coolest Picks - “Zoolander” Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Ben Stiller, what you've just created is one of the most insanely awesome things the Coolest Geek Alive has ever seen! At no point in your grounded, real-world approach to creating a supermodel universe were you even close to anything that could be considered unfunny. Every listener of this podcast will be better for having watched this triumph of a film. We award you all of the points, and may God bless your soul eternally.

REAL ACTUAL RACISM: 1st FINN, then T'CHALLA; Disney DOES IT AGAIN w/ Captain America 4!?!?! Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Since it wasn't an ensemble cast like "The Force Awakens" they couldn't shrink him on the poster and hope the other characters would compensate. And they couldn't cover him up with his helmet like they did for Black Panther, because the Falscon-Cap version of Captain America has NEVER had a mask/helmet that covered his face before. Buuuuut what if they MADE HIM ONE...! Just for China, of course. The coolest Geek Alive thinks that we should come together to call this out and not stand for this convenient money minded racism. Join Jesse Blaze Snider as he talks about this and more including some very interesting personal Hollywood horror stories from friends, family and his own life.

At no point in your grounded, real-world approach to creating a superhero universe were you even close to anything that could be considered uninteresting.
