Everything Everywhere All At Once (Spoiler Discussion)
Everything Everywhere All At Once (Spoiler Discussion)
"...And the winner is" was the phrase most associated with a little known small budget movie called Everything Everywhere All at Once at the beginning of 2023. With the exception of big screen vet, Jamie Lee Curtis, it had an all Asian cast lead by Michelle Yeoh (sometimes referred to as the female Jackie Chan) and Ke Huy Quan who was an 80's child actor washed out of Hollywood as an adulthood. Yet, EEAAO swept pretty much every major film award of the 2022-2023 season all the way to the 95th Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Yeoh), Best Supporting Actor (Quan), Best Supporting Actress (Curtis), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. But how does this film fit in for us fanboys? Listen in on this podcast episode to see how EEAAO defies all genre molds as it also happens to be as some consider now the greatest multiverse movie ever made.

Even for the cynic, many hope we will get fresh solid storytellings enough to rival Kevin Feige's MCU. Let's wait and see.

Obi-Wan Kenobi part 1 (Spoiler Discussion)
Hello There... Again!
Star Wars Fanboys of all walks, shapes and sizes have dreamed of Ewan McGregor's triumphant return as one of the frachises' flagship characters, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness (Spoiler Review)
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 Stephen Strange's antogonist. Strange of course is as always masterfully portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, returning to fulfill his franchise duties but this time carrying the weight of the MCU's phase on his shoulders. Certainly a tall order for the Veteran Brit actor extraordinaire. But how do the fanboys of TBC_afc really feel about this wacky comicbook adventure brought to screen?

Moon Knight (Spoiler Discussion) & In The News
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 protagonight 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 range igniting a spark to one of Marvel's lesser properties.
Also on this podcast episode we catch up on some industry news.
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?
