A Bro's Code Experiment
So I received this in my email inbox today:
DEAR FRIEND,
I AM THE MANAGER OF BILL AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE BANK OF AFRICA. I SAW YOUR CONTACTS IN INTERNET SEARCH,AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION I DECIDED TO WRITE YOU SINCE I CANNOT BE ABLE TO SEE YOU FACE TO FACE AT FIRST.
I WILL LIKE YOU TO TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS MAIL CAREFULLY. I DID NOT MEAN TO EMBARRASS YOU...
Mailbag Monday (Night)!
Dear The Bro,
I know you enjoy a good dose of reality tv. Your thoughts on the new VH1’s I Love Money?
-Jessica
Jessica, I don’t know what makes you think I enjoy reality television. I mean, I barely watch any reality shows at all. Here, I’ll prove it. Here’s the very short list of reality shows I watch:
Survivor, The Amazing Race, From G’s to Gents, Rock of...
The Bro's Pick of the Week
Hot on the heels of the announcement that it has been nominated for an Emmy, the South Park “Imagination Land” episode is being re-aired in it’s entirety tonight on Comedy Central. Originally a 3 parter aired over 3 weeks, tonight they will be showing all 3 episodes consecutively as a “movie event”.
My friends, if you have not been watching South Park as of late,...
The Bro Gets Hired! Twice!
No not by this guy. (Sorry for the “B” clips folks, this blog don’t exactly pay enough to get you the “A” listers.) But I have been hired by one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. That’s right! The big time! None other than...
Mailbag Monday errrr Tuesday!
Dear The Bro,
Which NFL players on new teams do you see having major fantasy impact for the upcoming season?
- Ryan
Wow, it only took about a month, but finally we get a question from a guy, for guys, to be appreciated for the most part by guys. Having said that, I still say for all you ladies out there, read on. It never hurts to know what the opposite sex is up to.
Well that was pretty...
Where is The Bro?
Hi Everyone,
Sorry that I wasn’t able to post today, but please stay tuned (as in like, the next day or two) for some breaking news, some interesting stuff, and a Mailbag Monday (on Tuesday).
See you all then!

The Bro's Code: Pick of the Week
Believe it or not, I actually had to choose between two things for this week’s PotW, and I probably went with the choice many of you would not have expected. Book 10 (which incorporates the conclusion to one of my favorite series of all time) of Y: The Last Man actually came in second this week. And if you haven’t gotten on board with Yorick and his crew, you really need to go here...
Time to Vote: The Bro's Code Year Old Movie Review
Okay everyone, now that I’ve gotten out this past weekend’s review, it’s that time again. Time to decide which film that came out one year ago you can punish me with by making me watch and review it. It’s kind of like MST3K, only without the sidekick robots.
Here are the movies that came out this coming weekend, one year ago. As always, please leave your votes for...
The Bro's Code Year Old Movie Review: Captivity
I have to admit, this movie wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
No, that’s not a compliment. What I mean by the above statement, is that I thought a “tense chiller” like Captivity would have way more scary, shocking, disgusting moments than it did. Overall except for a couple of sick freak scenes I found the movie to be pretty tame.
On the plus side, the movie...
Mailbag Monday!
Hey Bro, What is the most non-Bro-y show you secretly enjoy to watch?
-Lulu
Why is it that I’m writing a blog that is supposed to be geared towards GUYS and yet the first two mailbags I’m putting out (heh heh, I said ‘putting out’) are from emails I received from WOMEN? Is it me? Am I secreting some kind of female-ish pheromones through the web? Don’t get me...
The Bro's Code Pick of the Week
In an attempt to continue making the world a better place, I’m going to do my best to steer you all towards the good things out there and away from the bad things. This week, I suggest you all pick up the hilarious (apologies to KG) Michael Ian Black’s book “My Custom Van And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays that Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face”. You can even read an excerpt...
Greatest Fake Tournament Ever (Part 2)
Continuing on yesterday’s post, here’s who I voted for in the first round of RedEye’s Best Superhero Tournament:
NICOLAS CAGE REGION
No. 1 Spider-Man vs. No. 8 Phoenix
As I’ve already stated, Spider-Man is my winner for this tournament hands down. Though I will say the Phoenix Saga is one of the best X-Men storylines of all time, and let’s face it, Phoenix (Jean...
Greatest Fake Tournament Ever
Big thanks to The Bro’s Code reader Rebecca J. for the heads up on this tournament that has been designed to find out who is the greatest Super-Hero of all time. (With apologies to Fonzworth Bentley, James Bond did not make the cut.)
I can tell you all right now that in my mind there has never been a greater Super-hero than Spider-Man. He’ll always be my favorite, and most of that...
The Bro's Code Year-old Movie Review: Joshua
Her: “Is this a horror movie?”
Me: “It’s thrillerish.”
Three words. Worst. Movie. Ever.
But don’t worry Joshua lovers, based on how the voting has been going for the Year-old Movie Review, I get the feeling that there will be worse movies than this that I end up having the pleasure of watching.
The basic storyline for the film is that Sam Rockwell and...
The Bro's Code Interview: Fonzworth Bentley
As you all are no doubt already aware, MTV’s upcoming “From G’s to Gents” has quickly become a huge fan favorite here at The Bro’s Code. And as I am always striving to bring you the big names in the world of Pop Culture today, I was able to pull some strings over at MTV and get the King of Gents himself, Mr. Fonzworth Bentley on the phone for some Q&A. Mr. Bentley was kind enough to talk...
The Bro's Code Year Old Movie Review
I know you are all (and by all I mean the three of you that actually read this site) eagerly anticipating my review of “Joshua”. Almost as much as I am anticipating actually receiving it from Netflix. I supposebly (thank you Joey) will be getting it today, so I should have the review up for you guys tomorrow.
In the meantime, it’s time for you all to vote for the next movie I...
Mailbag Monday!
Mailbag Monday!
Hey everyone, recently yours truly (The Bro) got his first piece of mail asking a serious question that I think many people (mostly women) wonder about. You know, part of why I started this website was to be a beacon of hope to these troubled people with troubled questions. To provide answers and guidance in their storm of confusion. To help men and women relate in a sense of...
And The Winner Is...
Well based on the voting (and man what a ton of votes we got!) there was actually a tie between Joshua and Introducing the Dwights for this weekend’s Year-Old Movie Review. And though I know that I’m going to regret this decision in the long run (rule number 1 to any happy marriage is keep the wife happy) I have to go with….
Joshua as the winner! I mean neither story sounds...
The Bro's Code Follow Up To: Freak Sports Injuries...
Following up on my earlier post concerning ridiculous sports injuries, this one isn’t strange so much as it’s freakishly painful…
(Arizona Diamondbacks catcher) Chris Snyder was placed on the 15-day DL Tuesday with a left testicular fracture and will have surgery Wednesday. Manager Bob Melvin hopes to have him back after the minimum 15 days, the Diamondbacks’ official site...
The Bro's Code Needs Your Help!
It has always been The Bro’s intention to do a regular weekly movie review on this site. However, due to recent events (read: baby) I don’t get to actually go to movies. So instead of reviewing current movies, I’ll be reviewing movies that came out the same weekend one year prior. This is your chance to find out how good (or bad) the movies you chose not to see that weekend...
