CCD's 1st Look At Black Dynamite: The Animated Series

Black Dynamite may very well be the funniest movie I have seen in the past 10 years. A perfect exploitation movie in every sense of the word, with an awesome cast (Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Arsenio Hall, Kym Whitley, etc,), some of the most racist slurs ever uttered on film, and a great directorial debut from my main man Scott Sanders (click here to see why he is CCD's favorite director!). If you haven't seen it, it is streaming on Netflix now. But you better get to it quick, because Black Dynamite: The animated Series is coming to Cartoon Network on July 15th!!!! Made by the dudes who brought you The Boondocks and voiced by the actors from the movie itself, this one is going to be epic!!!! Check out the trailer after the jump and beware of Kung Fu trickery, you moon crickets....

Here is the poster:

Now This Is The Mortal Kombat Web Series That I Want To Watch!!!

The first episode for the much anticipated Mortal Kombat: Legacy is finally here and I must say it looks pretty awesome. Jeri Ryan and Michael Jai White look awesome as Sonya & Jax, and this is probably going to be the best visualization of the Mortal Kombat we have ever seen. Here is the first episode in it's entirety.

It's Times Like This That I Wish I Had A Crib In L.A.

I love NYC... god knows that's true. But the West Coast has the movie business on lock, and there is no shortage of movie related special events happening out in L.A. that I would love to attend. Case in point, this magnificent motherfucking 'Black Dynamite' event:

This is all in an effort to promote the new 'Black Dynamite: Slave Island' comic book... one that I am eagerly anticipating in the mail to review (thanks Jillian!!!). You got a screening of the movie (one of my all time faves) at 6:30 PM, The recording of a live podcast at 8:00 PM, and then a comic book signing to finish it all up with a bang at 9:00 PM. In the words of director Scott Sanders:

"Chris Hardwick will lead a panel that includes Michael Jai White ("Black Dynamite", co-writer), Byron Minns ("Bullhorn", co-writer), Scott Sanders (director, co-writer), Brian Ash (comic author, writer for The Boondocks) to chat about the making of the greatest Blaxploitation comedy of all time, and its extension into the comic world. There will also be a live music performance by the film's score-master Adrian Younge and The Black Dynamite Sound Orchestra."  

How F'n unbelievable does that sound? Black Dynamite himself & Bullhorn are gonna be up in this bitch!!! God damn... I wish I could get out there!!! Hey Scott, can you send Cream Corn with the helicopter for me? Please.... Grrrr. Anyway, we met Scott at last years NYC Comic Con and he was the man. He gave us a long ass interview and signed a bunch of preview comics for us (that we gave away to you guys!!!) and proved to be one cool dude. Good luck with the event guys... and if you are in the L.A. area, make this happen!!!!

All of this takes place on April 4th @ Meltdown Comics, 7522 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, Ca 90046
