    Jun 24 2026

    Would you really pay $120 for GTA 6?This week on Black Geek Energy, that question sparks one of our biggest gaming debates yet. Jardo and Black are joined by Joseph, creator of the PlayerPlayer podcast and the Can'tPaus newsletter, to break down everything happening across gaming, geek culture, and beyond.


    We kick things off with a Game of the Year trivia challenge covering 2021 through 2025 before looking ahead to the biggest contenders of 2026. From Resident Evil Requiem, Forza Horizon 6, Pragmata, Mina the Hollower, and 007 First Light to the games nobody is talking about yet, we make our early predictions and defend our picks.The conversation also dives into the Xbox Showcase, whether Fable's return can live up to expectations, if Spyro still matters in today's gaming landscape, and the ongoing debate around an Ocarina of Time remake. On the PlayStation side, we discuss God of War, Marvel's Wolverine, and what Sony's future lineup could look like.


    Plus, we share recommendations from across TV, movies, and documentaries, including The Terror, the Michael Jackson documentary, and Widow's Bay.


    What is your early pick for Game of the Year 2026?

    Let's Talk 14 | The Twinning Episode
    Jun 17 2026
    Jardo and D'Marcus pull up to break down everything hitting our queues right now, from Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 to the music ranking debate that got way too heated.We look back at our favorite interviews so far (shout out Sean of the Chained Saints and Jamal Sims), then dive into the Put You On segment with MoviePass and whether Mortal Kombat 2 actually delivered. Things get competitive with Rank D's, where Jardo tries to guess D'Marcus' taste in old school R&B legends like Lenny Williams, Confunktion, The Spinners, and DeBarge, plus a book ranking round featuring Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights Monsters, and Fourth Wing. We also get into the fall movie slate (Supergirl, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Masters of the Universe, Is God Is), the September game drops we're counting down to, D&D and Daggerheart campaign updates, and a real talk moment about AI bias in job applications and how platforms like Workday are scoring candidates behind the scenes.Join the Black Geek Energy community and never miss an episode, newsletter, or bonus content:Subscribe to the Black Geek Energy Newsletter (Substack)Support the Show on PatreonShop Black Geek Energy MerchEmail your questions to blackgeekenergy@gmail.comFollow Black Geek Energy Everywhere:YouTube @blackgeekenergyTikTok @blackgeekenergyInstagram @blackgeekenergyThreads @blackgeekenergyBluesky @blackgeekenergyTwitter @bge_podFacebook @blackgeekenergySpill @blackgeekenergyTwitch @blackgeekenergyMusic Produced by @prodbyffsmikeSupport Our SponsorExperience the transformative benefits of therapy with the world's largest network of experienced and credentialed therapists, available to you whenever you need it the most.

  • Why Jon Stewart Matters More Than Ever

    Why Jon Stewart Matters More Than Ever
    Jun 10 2026

    Before Aaron Pierre suits up as Jon Stewart in HBO's Lanterns, we're taking a deep dive into one of DC Comics' most important heroes.


    This week on Black Geek Energy, we break down the history, impact, and legacy of John Stewart Green Lantern. Was he originally a token character? Why did an entire generation grow up thinking he was THE Green Lantern? And why did Hollywood wait so long to put him front and center?


    We talk about his background as an architect and Marine, the destruction of Xanshi in Cosmic Odyssey, his role in Justice League Unlimited, and the upcoming Lanterns series.


    Along the way, we also debate robot companions, superhero emergency scenarios, One Piece, MoviePass, and whether we'd actually survive with a Green Lantern ring.


    If you're a DC fan, Green Lantern fan, comic book reader, or just love conversations about Black representation in geek culture, this episode is for you.
