The summer breezed right past and many of us may wish we kept our mouths shut about how hot it was. October is now upon us, and it’s time to layer the clothes, drink hot chocolates, watch those scary movies and eat some sweets! Sounds like a great October, right? Wrong. You need some sweet jams to warm your soul. […]
On this day ten years ago, during what felt like the height of the vampire obsession, HBO’s True Blood premiered. Adapted from Charlaine Harris’ wildly successful book series The Southern Vampire Mysteries, True Blood proved to be a hit from the beginning. Though it wrapped up its run in 2014 with seven seasons, it is still considered one of the […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest SDCC news, you’re well aware that Spider-Man PS4 is fast approaching. The game drops on September 7th, but there’s plenty of information that we both have, and don’t have. To make sure you’re up to date with all the information of the game’s release, keep reading! Here’s everything we know so far […]
You have never read a book like Justina Ireland’s Dread Nation. No, I’m not reaching by saying this. It is absolutely true. I was mildly apprehensive about reading a YA (Young Adult) book involving zombies and a girl fighting them. See, I’m not wildly crazy about zombies in general. It took me six years to finally start watching The Walking […]
Spoilers Ahead The Jurassic Park franchise is 25 years old, spanning a total of 5 movies with one more on its way. I understand the weariness of some people when it comes to the franchise. One could make an argument that there shouldn’t have been a sequel, but we got several whether you enjoy them or not. Fallen Kingdom has […]
This week many African-Americans across the country celebrated the holiday of Juneteenth: the day when the last of the enslaved African-Americans were freed on June 19th, 1865 in Texas after the end of the American Civil War. This holiday has certainly gained more widespread notoriety around the country and, as such, I thought it only fitting to do a live-action […]
Hey music geeks, we’re back again with our second installment of monthly jams. We’ve been listening to a lot of great throwbacks, and many super hot new releases this month. We hope you like what we’ve been jamming to! May Jams Leon Bridges We were so excited when R&B and Soul singer/songwriter Leon Bridges released his second album Good Things this year. […]
Does dating a white person really make someone “less black”? This a loaded question. Half of us would say yes because of the system we live in, it would be like sleeping with the enemy. The other half would say no because we live by the ideals of diversity and inclusion, so why should that stop at love? Then there […]
I eat, sleep, and breathe history. I always have. The writer in me admires the way that history feels like one huge neverending story with numerous protagonists and main events. When movies set in significant historic backdrops and periods, I always get a little excited. That is until glaring historical inaccuracies or erasures are presented. Fantastic Beasts and Where to […]
Pilot, Smuggler, Swindler, Scum, Rebel, and Scoundrel. Captain of the Millenium Falcon, the ship that “made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs.” General for the Rebel Alliance. Husband of Leia Organa and father to Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. Those are the names and titles of everyone’s favorite scruffy looking, nerf-herder, Han Solo. Introduced in A New Hope inside the shady […]
All of us in the Geeks of Color fam love music. We love sharing our new music finds, and our old favorites with each other constantly. This month we decided to share the music that we have all been jamming to with you. We have compiled a list of artists and songs that the GOC team have been really feeling […]
If there’s any Marvel character that truly represents the idea of what it means to be a hero, there’s none more fit than Bruce Banner, the Jade Giant himself. With Infinity War upon us, now is a good time to take a look back on Banner’s arc throughout the MCU, and celebrate what makes Hulk truly the strongest Avenger. […]
Steve Rogers didn’t start off as everyone’s favorite Avenger, but through his films and Chris Evans’s amazing performance in the role, it’s hard to find someone who isn’t Team Cap. Steve’s arc through the years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been one of the best. As mentioned in my Iron Man article the juxtaposition between Steve and Tony […]

The character of Tony Stark/Iron Man has gone through so much over the 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU.) He was the one that started it all and the progression of Tony, from his first film to Homecoming feels completely natural and grounded.There is an interesting arc with Tony that can also be compared to Steve Rogers/Captain America. […]
Superman is history’s first superhero, and thus he has been portrayed in the media numerous times, so doing a list on the best of them might prove to be more than just a “tad difficult.” However, in honour of Superman’s 80 years, I tried to make a compelling list to share with you my favorite Superman interpretations over the years.
