The guys (Kareem, Ken, Pat) are joined by guest BMO Jr. to review kick of the On The DL series which will cover the life work of Delroy Lindo. They start off with the 90’s hit, Romeo Must Die, and tangents include the NFL’s nefarious land grab deals, hiring incompetent bodyguards, throwing nepo babies out of windows, and more.

Show Notes

In this episode of Tangential Giants, we’re not just serving up the usual chaos — oh no, we’ve brought in reinforcements! Special guest Bruce Molock Jr. joins us for an unforgettable deep dive into the cinematic world of Romeo Must Die and the powerhouse that is Delroy Lindo.

We kick things off by tracing Lindo’s illustrious journey from Shakespearean theater to the silver screen, where he’s captivated us all with his gravitas and sheer coolness. From Malcolm X to Crooklyn, Delroy Lindo has done it all—and we’ll tell you why he’s the epitome of acting greatness. (No spoilers, but there may be an impromptu tangent about Lindo’s unmatched ability to wear a fedora convincingly.)

But buckle up, folks, because things get hilariously wild when we dive into the movie:
🏈 The NFL’s ridiculous (and shady?) land-grabbing schemes. Trust us, Isaak O’Day is basically Jerry Jones with a better poker face.

🛡️ The world’s most incompetent bodyguards—seriously, how do these guys have jobs?

🪦 The untimely demise of nepo babies. Let’s just say nepotism means nothing when you’re in the middle of a kung fu crime war.

And with Brue Molock in the mix, you know we’ve got fresh insights, unfiltered laughs, and a few spicy hot takes you didn’t see coming. Who knew someone could analyze fight choreography and roast plot holes at the same time? Bravo, Brue, bravo. 👏

So grab your headphones, hit play, and join us for an action-packed, laugh-out-loud celebration of Delroy Lindo, Romeo Must Die, and the sheer absurdity of it all.

EP.122 – Wait, You Know Kung Fu Too? – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.2 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem, Ken, Pat, and returning chaos agent JPG dive into the second half of their martial arts saga, tracing how the genre went from the clean, wide‑shot choreography of the 80s and 90s to the hyper‑edited, camera‑trick chaos that took over in the 2000s.They unpack how The Matrix rewired Hollywood’s brain, how 9‑11 reshaped action aesthetics, and how Jackie Chan’s beautifully reckless stunt work got replaced by gunkata, tactical reloads, and enough quick cuts to make a film editor sweat. Along the way, the crew debates whether modern action is evolution or just caffeine with a budget.If you enjoy martial arts history, pop culture detours, and a guest who refuses to stay on topic, this episode delivers.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #Gunkata #jackiechan #thematrix #filmpodcast #popculturepodcast #moviediscussions
