Review: Black Dynamite ”How Honey Bee Got Her Groove Back or Sexodus or Night of the Living D…Heads”

Spoilers Below

The whores are a little winded, so Honey Bee decides to take the girls on vacation to try and un-stretch out. While there, the girls start getting a little feisty with the hotel staff, but even a scolding Honey Bee can’t keep her pants on as she meets the legendary Bob Marley. The two hit it off, and it even looks like Honey Bee may stay in Jamaica for good so that she can be with Marley! Unfortunately, local militias are trying to kill Marley, but Honey Bee has no interest in leaving the island because she is in love. We come to find out that Bob is actually married and he actually has a house filled with women and kids that all call Marley family. One of those ‘family’ members put a hit out on Bob and she’s trying to kill Bob for cheating on her with Bee. Fortunately, Bee apprehends the assassin RIGHT before she’s tries to snipe Bob. And how does Bob repay Bee for saving his life? He meets a new girl that becomes his new number 1. Bee and the whores head back home.

Meanwhile, the boys are back at the Whorephanage, and after Black Dynamite, Cream Corn, and Bullhorn turn the dilapidated building into a hookers’ paradise, the streets become overfilled with zombies all of whom are backed up due to lack of whores around to ‘relieve’ them of the evil sperm that’s backed up inside of them. To try and fight back, the boys jerk off so that they can blend in as sex-craved zombies. Eventually, their cover is blown and Black Dynamite is JUST about ready to go back to work, but Bee and the whores show up to save the day. The zombies get turned back to normal, but what about the man whores?

The weird thing about this week’s episode, is that if this were 12-minutes in length, you would have episode of the year. That title would certainly go to the ‘How Honey Bee Got Her Groove Back’ because the thing played out like a feature film in the best ways possible. Yea it was funny, but the best scenes were watching an actual love story turn into a lust for blood featuring Marley and Bee. You couldn’t help but get wrapped up into the rather complex story, only to feel stabbed in the back when we run into Marley’s family. Quite honestly, if the producers wanted to take ‘Night of the Living D…’ out of the script and just extend ‘Honey Bee’, I would have been OK with it. And it’s not even like ‘Night’ was a bad story neither, it’s just that ‘Groove’ was so far ahead in terms of being an actual dramedy that ‘Night’ came off as the commercial that comes on at the end of an episode with a ‘To Be Continued’ tag line.

I honestly have never seen Carl Jones and the producers of Black Dynamite get THIS close to other genres other than comedy, but honestly the studio has all of the making to put together animated feature films that could help grow an animation industry that could certainly use originality. I’d kill to see Carl and crew try on different genres of animation, because this week’s episode certainly shows that these guys aren’t one-trick ponies.
