Podcast Episodes - TO BE CONTINUED... (A Fanboy Podcast)

Given the events and announcements that took place July 21- 24 2022 at San Diego Comic Con, We of TBC_afp felt obligated to cover some of these biggest stories. From Kevin Feige's brief look into the immediate MCU future or multiverse futures to the DC Cinematic Universes' not so surprising presence, we are going to get into some drooling or not so mouth watering discussions. #endpicardelderabusen...

Summer is here and we've got content discussions chock full of fanboy joy from Kenobi's epic finale (for now), to those meddling kids from Hawkins trying to save the world from Stranger Things (again) (again... like four times) and to sweet lil Jersey City Pakistani teenager newcomer on Disney Plus' Ms. Marvel. Definitely a lot to unpack as the TBC team attempts to stay cool. So if you're at the b...

Hello There... Again! Star Wars Fanboys of all walks, shapes and sizes have dreamed of Ewan McGregor's triumphant return as one of the franchises' flagship characters, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite, the realization of potentially ignoring canon narrative (due to the expansion of the universe), fans just didn't seem care and if they did, they were relishing at jumping into the mosh pit that is the intern...

By The Book of Vishanti! The Marvel Cinematic Universe has delivered one of it's most ambitious projects to date with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness directed by Marvel movie pioneer and cult horror filmmaker, Sam Raimi. The film, neverthess, is a direct follow up from both Spider-Man No Way Home and Disney Plus' WandaVision, thrusting Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlett Witch as Doctor Stephe...

Listen in as the crew of TBC drops a bunch of fanboy buzz and news recorded on...duh duh Dah... Friday the 13th, 2022.

When actor Oscar Issac isn't portraying characters stretching throughout the spectrum from Star Wars' Poe Dameron to X-Men Mutant baddie Apocalypse to Dune's Duke Leto Atreides or even voicing animated Spider-Man 2099, He also plays several protagonist due to the titular hero's Dissociative identity disorder in Marvel Studios' Moon Knight on Disney Plus. In Moon Knight we fully get Issac's acting...

In the immortal parodied words of Alfred Pennyworth, well not really, more like an exchange between British comedians, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon from the 2014 film The Trip to Italy, we get a tickling Michael Caine impersonation-off exchange that went like this: "I'm not going to bury 'nother Batman!" "Another Batman? How many Batman(s) has he been buring?" Which in reflection hilariously sums u...

A long time ago... from a great 70's movie franchise called Star Wars, it's creator, George Lucas penned a mysteriously helmeted bounty hunter named Boba Fett as an animated short on the painfully received televised Star Wars Christmas Special. Eventually, this character had made it to the big screen debuting a live action Fett collecting on his bounty by successfully capturing the hero Han Solo t...

In one of the most notable iconic Marvel cinematic scenes from The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Clint Barton (portrayed by Jeremy Renner) aka Hawkeye tells Wanda Maximoff "...the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots... and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." This pretty much sums up Marvel’s ace archer, Hawkeye who represents the analog superhero in a sea of indestructible g...

Partially touted as one of the best Marvel films ever made (by junkets and ad marketing), Eternals, which originally was shown in theatres has now been widely released on Disney Plus. And with that the jury appears to be out with mixed reviews as a newest edition to the MCU created by the legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby in the late 70s. Eternals, for the MCU, would usher entry into the cosm...

If the start of the pandemic was only a couple of years ago (and without trivializing the impact of its events) then Tom Holland's MCU entry as Spider-Man, in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, seemed just like another lifetime ago. And now, by the time this podcast is out, Spider-Man: No Way Home has triumpiantly captured "post-pandemic" box office gold with still having more steam since it's Dec...

Bringing Frank Herbert's Dune from page to the big screen has been long considered, to both fans and filmmakers, a Sci-Fi Holy Grail of sorts. With one original failed cinematic attempt (Jodoworsky), two feature films (set decades apart with one sequel in the works) and a Sci Fi Channel miniseries (2000) in mind, every stab at this hard sci-fi saga has been furiously debated on its pretense or gra...

After a five film saga, Daniel Craig concludes his 007 run with No Time To Die. TBC_afp picks up from its last episode keeping the martini shaken and not stirred.

No entertainment intellectual property has stood longer, for better or for worse (depending on who you talk to), than Ian Flemming's British gentleman super spy hypenate sexy womanizing (maybe even misogynist) international man of action, Agent 007 James Bond. Spanning 25 films from when Dr. No was released in 1968, 007 has spawned parodies, uncanonical spin offs all the while influecing the Holly...

Since the launch of Disney Plus there have been, in our opinion, some Marvel Studios streaming contect hits and misses from Loki to WandaVision to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Season One of the anthology What If has wrapped up. A Twilight Zonesque animated show exploring the MCU's infinite possiblilities (originally based on Marvel's comic book of the same name), leaves us with opportunity f...

The Summer is over and TBC_afp is back after some hiatus, returning to the studio with full on piling mail and upcoming content. First on the list: Marvel Studios', maybe not maybe "experiment" and now certifiable blockbuster, Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings with an all-star Asian cast. It’s got spectacular martial arts, action, family-drama and (spoilers) Avengers but is it TBC_afp cert...

The Godfather of modern Superhero/ comicbook movie genre, Richard Donner directed Superman The Movie in 1978 starring Christopher Reeve. The follow up sequel Superman II lead to a departure by the director due to creative differences resulting in a lesser treatment only for the director’s cut to be released in later years. He was Zack Snyder before there was Zack Synder and the embodiment blueprin...

After a decade, years in the making and months of delayed release dates due to the Pandemic, The Avenging First Lady of the MCU, Black Widow finally gets her solo film. The crew of TBC_afp give their take on whether Scarlett Johanssen and company delivery a hit or miss. Also, in this episode, Disney Plus' Loki finale. #powertotheproletariat

For about a decade, Tom Hiddleston has breathed not only life but also a anglo sexy wretchedness into the MCU's first Phase One Arch Villain, Loki, Asgardian God of Mischief. With that Hiddleston single-handedly popularized this Thor nemesis so much to the affect that Disney+ has gloriously (and purposely) released a mini-series chronicling further adventures. TBC_apf delivers a mid series low dow...

TBC_afp sits down with author and former WWE staff writer (as well as old HS buddy) Brian Solomon in discussion on his career journey as an author and pop culture aficionado who penned books such as “Pro Wrestling FAQ”, “Godzilla FAQ” and “WWE Legends”. #letsrumble

The crew of TBC_afp gives you a play by play as they watch ep 3 of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Sit back and enjoy the commentary. #MST3Kmuch ?

Second chances or perhaps fluke miracles could be used to describe Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the direct-to-HBO Max’s streaming 4 hour original director’s cut of the flopped 2017 theatrical version, bringing together for the very first time, DC Comic’s superheroes to the big screen. This unexpected opportunity is a clear revelation to both fanboys and critics whether Synder merits creative vind...

Getting back into the swing of things can be challenging but thankfully with TBC_afp’s seal of approval, Syfy’s Resident Alien receives our thumbs up in hopes for more episodes down the line and thereby cushioning the stresses of pandemic life a bit easier. Also, in the episode we deliver our closing remarks on Disney Plus’ Wanda Vision finale. #alantudyk #iamaleafinthewindwatchhowisoar

After a hiatus of proportions critical to the American identity, the intrepid crew TBC_afp crawled out of the fallout rubble to bring back nerd normalcy. Inaugurating a new year, though tiptoeing on eggshells due to the still raging global pandemic, we hope in continuing celebration of all things sci-fi, comicbook and geekdom culture. Let’s do this 2021! #nomoremutants #lifeisgoodbutitcouldbebette...
