What's the first African-American comic book movie that opened the door for the MCU and DCEU? It's not Meteor Man, Kazaam, or Steel...it's Blade! The man who refused to pay taxes, Wesley Snipes, slays vampires and the dialogue. We also get Tracey Lords in a non-porno film where she's NOT underage. After all that, what's not to like? Rob Patrick explains why despite being culturally important, the plot and especially CGI, is a bloody tampon. As good pals do, Delvin Cox RSVP'ed yes to Kevin Gootee's invitation to co-host. Delvin grabs his sunglasses, black trench coat, and sees if Rob's anti-Blade argument is just like some motherf----er trying to ice skate uphill. Where do you stand on Blade? Think it's still a banger? Never liked it? Come on our social medias and let us know! Let's also see if Chat GPT can FINALLY write better jokes than Kevin Gootee.
