How to NOT die first in BLADE

Author: 2 Blacks and a Mexican May 5, 2021 Duration: 1:06:26

We've decided to ice skate uphill on this one. Blade is a phenomenal superhero horror film, released in 1998, directed by Stephen Norrington, and starring the incredible Wesley Snipes. This movie holds a special place in our hearts as the earliest mainstream Marvel movie to feature a black lead. Great action. Simple story. Awesome world-building. A ton of fun. We're joined by That Phat Samurai Guy as we discuss Blade


Ever find yourself yelling at the characters on screen during a horror film, convinced you'd make it to the credits? You're not alone. Survivor's Ed is a weekly dissection of horror cinema hosted by Miles Kelly, Tawny Ochoa, and Chris Paicely-the trio known collectively as 2 Blacks and a Mexican. They're here to channel that backseat-director energy into a practical, if slightly unorthodox, curriculum. Each episode picks apart a horror movie, from classic slashers to modern psychological thrillers, to analyze the fatal mistakes, the near misses, and the rare moments of genuine cleverness. The goal is straightforward: to establish a working set of survival rules gleaned from the genre's countless triumphs and catastrophes. Listening feels like hanging out with your most opinionate friends after a late-night movie, blending sharp reviews with hilarious commentary and genuine curiosity about why certain tropes persist. You'll get their distinct perspectives on character decisions, cinematography, and the cultural fingerprints left on every film they cover. This podcast is for anyone who loves the thrill of a good scare but also can't help but think critically about the chaos unfolding. Join them as they debate, laugh, and ultimately try to ace the final exam no one wants to take in real life.
