    Are They Really A Villain?
    2025/07/23
    ***D'Marcus and his grandma's computer had a mic issue. For about half the episode he echoes. Please give him all your hate!This week on Black Geek Energy, we’re calling court into session—because not everybody labeled a villain was really the problem. Was Ursula just enforcing contracts? Was Jafar fed up with royal nonsense? Was Pain actually speaking facts? And was Donquixote Doflamingo just a product of a messed-up system?We’re breaking down what really went down with these so-called “villains” from The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Naruto, and One Piece. It's giving generational trauma. It's giving radical reform. It's giving "maybe they had a point."Pull up for a conversation that’s part anime, part Disney, and all about calling out the real ops: colonizers, monarchies, and systems built to break people.Shop Our Store!Email your questions to blackgeekenergy@gmail.comListen to Jardo play Lyphe on Marvel 1619!Music Produced by @prodbyffsmikeFollow us on Social Media!Spill @blackgeekenergyInstagram @blackgeekenergyFacebook @blackgeekenergyBluesky @blackgeekenergyTikTok @blackgeekenergyTwitter @bge_podYouTube @blackgeekenergyTwitch @blackgeekenergyThreads @blackgeekenergyPatreonExperience 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.Better Help's skilled professionals specialize in assisting individuals with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationships.

    In this episode of Black Geek Energy, your favorite hosts Jardo and D'Marcus are back with a raw and real catch-up session that blends personal growth, geek culture, and Black brilliance. From job interviews and travel plans to anime reviews and the launch of their brand-new Etsy shop, the duo drops gems on everything that’s been brewing behind the scenes.

    We get into deep conversations around Black representation in anime, mental health, and the messy politics of social media movements. There’s laughter, truth, and some serious side-eye for shady job offers and lackluster show reviews (looking at you, Ironheart critics). Plus, D'Marcus shares his plans for a Japan trip, we talk cosplay etiquette, and dive into the wild history of anime music videos (AMVs) and their cultural roots.

    Whether you're here for the hot takes, hilarious banter, or nerdy breakdowns of My Hero Academia and Moonrise, this episode has something for every proud blerd, anime addict, and comic book head out there.

    Our Talk with Jordan Clark 2
    2025/06/18

    In this episode of Black Geek Energy, we’re joined by award-winning comic book writer and returning guest Jordan Clark—the brilliant mind behind Samurai Sonja, Aquaman, and now his brand-new creator-owned series, Ancestral Recall.

    We dive deep into the inspiration behind Ancestral Recall, a supernatural detective story that explores memory, legacy, and Black identity through a thrilling mystery. Jordan shares his writing process, his thoughts on Black representation in comics, and what it means to create stories that center us as heroes—not sidekicks.

    We also chop it up about the current state of comics, how his podcast White People Won’t Save You flips the script on Hollywood narratives, and what it’s like being a Black creator navigating mainstream and indie publishing.

    Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Black superheroes, into indie comics, or just want to hear a dope creative drop gems, this episode is for YOU.
