Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Spoiler Review/ Andor Season Finale/ Kevin Conroy RIP
With the passing of Chadwick Boseman, Hollywood was shaken and the Marvel Studios movie machine was left questioning on how to pivot on the production of its expected sequel to Black Panther. The loss of Boseman left a massive void and for studio head Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler to pull the project out of danger. But would they be able to bring reconciliation and healing to those who have lost a friend, a family member and for many an icon.

The Batman (Spoiler Review)
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 burying?" Which in reflection hilariously sums up most sentiments from when WB announced in 2019 yet another Batman would be cast for a standalone movie this time directed by Matt Reeves to be set apart from Zack Synder's Batman portrayed by Ben Affleck. This time Robert Pattinson, of Twilight Saga fame, would be cast as the Dark Knight and already fans either felt optimistically cautious or flat out unsure how this project would pan out. As of current having enjoyed being at the top of the box office for only a month, The Batman sits at $676 million and counting, still not quite what Spider-Man No Way Home has accomplished but time will tell. And what do we think? Here's a Riddle: I can be tuned for conversation but not like a piano nor radio. What am I?

Richard Donner #RIP
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 blueprint to what Kevin Feige envisioned for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Every comicbook movie traces its DNA to Donner. Donner and his wife were were also producers on Bryan Singer’s X-Men and directed other little known movies such as The Omen, The Goonies and launched a small film franchise called Lethal Weapon. Donner’s impact on Hollywood filmmaking shall remain undeniable. #RIP

Joker Spoiler Review + Bonus: Star Wars Rise of Skywalker Trailer
Originally not intended as a point of interest for 2019, We of TBC_afp have turned a complete 180 and were completely surprised by Joker, the now blockbuster stand alone directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover) and starring Joachin Phoenix, with a tour de force portrayal of Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime.

SHAZAM! (Spoiler Review)
A famous writer once penned the line “What's in a name? That which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet” in order to evoke the idea that what really counts isn’t just how a thing is labeled. Rather that true heroic significance and character comes from within or that our actions define us. In SHAZAM!, starring Zachary Levi as DC Comic’s sometimes anti-Superman analog and child’s-eye-view superhero commentary (commonly know through the source material as Captain Marvel), WB/ DC Cinematic Universe attempts to deliver at the Box Office again at the wake of Aqua-success, The World's Mightiest Mortal. Follow TBC_afp as they take that leap of faith and call out SHAZAM!

Riddle me this? What do Morgan Freeman from Lean on Me, Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey and almost eight decades of fictional history have in common?

Justice League (Spoiler) Review
Gathered together from remote corners of the world are some of the most passionate individuals of all time: TBC (a fanboy podcast)! Dedicated to a single objective- releasing edgy but not offensive apolitical media infotainment content hopefully, toward scoring some lucrative corporation sponsorship, enough to at least break even. But what do The TBCers Three think of the highly anticipated Justice League movie? Will they cry outrage at Henry Cavill’s #MUSTACHEGATE ? Does Zack Synder take a page from Sir Michael Caine and bury another Batman? (Steve Coogan’s The Trip. Look it up….) Are there actual Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, El Dorado & Samurai Easter Eggs that we missed in the movie?
