The Blogboard Jungle

Album Cover This movie will take a lot of people down memory lane if they grew up around the time the album the film is titled for came out. When it did, those that got it when it did come out probably had to sneak the purchase from their parents. The film takes a look at the coming up of the group N.W.A and their break-up when some let the success blind them. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC-Ren, and DJ Yella made up N.W.A and the actors picked to play them could not have been more perfectly cast. Some of them look so much like the true life figures they portray the resemblance is uncanny, it helps that O'Shea Jackson, Jr. is playing his role of his father, Ice Cube. The film tells a story a lot of fans probably got footnotes from all the news the group made. To have it dramatized in a film made it a true work of art. A lot of news footage is original footage from the time things occurred in the film. If you were ever a fan of hardcore rap and hip-hop,you owe it to yourself...

The Asbury Park Zombie Walk has broken records and become a recent NJ tradition in recent years. With shows like The Walking Dead making the zombie genre more popular, its infection every October grew larger and larger. All good things must come to an end, and New Jersey's greatest zombie event has finally met its demise. It's no secret here that horror and Halloween have a home here on  +The Blogboard Jungle  , so when things like this happen it makes us sad. Jason Meehan, the founder of the walk left the following message on Facebook to explain why it has died: My Dear Zombies,I am aghast as I sit here, trying to find the most gentle way to write these words to you... but there... Posted by New Jersey Zombie Walk on  Thursday, August 20, 2015 It's not like it was the only one in existence, but it was one of the biggest ones in New Jersey. October is a pretty good time in the Garden State and there are plenty of horror themes conventions and 5K runs...

The Walking Dead has become one of the biggest fandoms since the show aired. It already had a decent following from a series of comic books it is based on. Fandoms are odd, if something changes too drastically or written poorly, they can be rather harsh on the newer medium.  +The Blogboard Jungle  is guilty of this in regards to the show, The Walking Dead . That's why it is not written about often here. However, their is a fix for that, and the people that write for this site. Enter, Fear The Walking Dead , a brand new story with nothing to compare it against, from a period not even mentioned in the books. Also, its an outbreak story. If the zombie genre is done well, the story usually takes place during an outbreak. Some of the best zombie films take place during the outbreak, this looks to be a show dedicated to stories like that. The show is also dedicated to building characters for fans to follow and these characters are brand new to everyone. New characters that ...

Independent Pro Wrestling shows can be win or lose with the presentation and the venue they choose to put them in. If ECW has showed anyone anything, it is that if the talent is willing to put in the work, the show has the potential to be great. One member of the talent, "Bad Apple" Matt Macintosh, was  nice enough to spare a moment to promote the event and discuss the difference between Pro Wrestling and MMA. If you would like to hear that interview you can do so at The Carbazel MMA Podcast , and view photos from the event at this link . His match with Rey Mysterio was not only the match of the night, but the outcome was surprising and well deserved. Pro Wrestling Syndicate may be an independent promotion, but if anyone could repeat the success of ECW, this promotion seems to have the ingredients to do it.

Stream on Amazon Prime Finally, the big reveal on Mr. Robot that we kind of all knew was coming.  What was good about it, even though we already knew what was coming , was when Elliot said to the viewing audience,"You already knew, didn't you?" Yes, Elliot. We did know. The whole F-Society vs. Evil Corp story kind of took a back seat to Elliot's revelation, but it does not seem to be going anywhere, and neither is Mr. Robot. Figment of Elliot's imagination or not, Mr. Robot let Elliot know he will never be rid of him. Our corporate American Psycho friend wants in on Elliot and F-society's plans since he has fallen out of grace with his wife and Evil Corp. Two nuts in a little pod look to be working together. One cool thing they did in the show was play a piano version of the Pixies, Where is my mind , which was played in Fight Club when the episode came to a close. You can say they're copying Fight Club , but is that really a bad thing?

MMA and Pro Wrestling going down this Sunday.  What're you going to watch?  We're watching both but listen to some details before you decide.

Michael Gibson/FX A new hunter is making his way to help The Elders, and the others that are looking to stop The Master. Eph went to Washington DC to hook up with yet another woman in a completely random act of being "Ephed up", and we finally got to see Gus and Angel in action. Who does Eph think he is? That horn dog senator from House of Cards ? All Eph's trip to DC turned up was what we already knew, Stoneheart group and The Master have some influence in government. Setrakian, Fet, and Palmer's former assistant were making some headway with their quest for the book before they were attacked by Strigoi Nora and her little Strigoilings. Palmer's former assistant was lost in that exchange, too bad as we were hoping for more from that character. Gus and Angel showed they could work well together when they needed to, despite their differences. Angel's knee seems to be a big problem though, something that is present in the book but not as prominent. Most...
