Linus [writing to the Great Pumpkin]: "You must get discouraged because more people believe in Santa Claus than you. Well, let's face it; Santa Claus has had more publicity, but being number two, perhaps you try harder."
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
In an attempt to affirm Linus' proclamation, we at TBC_afp are diving into cult classic for the season. We are talking about both versions of Fright Night for a compare and contrast. Also in this episode #rip #SuzanneSomers #KeithGiffen #sagaftra2023

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.
It's Pedro Pascal's:world and we just podcast in it. He is just like the Oscar darling of 2023: Everything and Everywhere All At Once. They mind as well cast Pedro as the President of the United Federation of Planets. Maybe then out podcaster Miguel will feel more enthusiatic about Star Trek Picard's newest season. Let's hear how the crew of TBC_afp breaks it down.

Now that we have your attention, Ryan Reynolds' just made a fortune without even lifting a finger. That said, while we can assure you that Mr. Deadpool himself is neither affliated nor a principal shareholder of TBC_afp, the idea of an investment toward our humble operation does have a nice ring to it. What do you say? You love Aviator Gin, So too does our audience...like all 10 of them. Mr. Reynolds, sample an episode (free of charge) and just sleep on. #GoWrexham

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. 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 internet nerd fight dance. This podcast episode of TBC_afp is just another pebble tossed into a seemingly large bucket of water. Listen and Enjoy! #likehowyouowenmemes

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 grandeur. Yet, Dune's impact on Hollywood is undeniable inspiring those of such as George Lucas to Ridley Scott.
NOT IN THE MOOD you say? Well, order some pumpkin spice Joe, get podcast comfortable and enter the desert world of Arrakis AKA Dune.
#TheRighteous !!???
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 Hollywood action genre... Or perhaps chasing after trends. Fans and critics have argued and romanticized in love and hate, for some time now, over it's questionable yet alluring cinematic quality.
While no different, TBC_afp steps into Her Majesty's Sercret Service to pay homage, oftenly lampooning and maybe even lambast in this two parter podcast. So sit back and have a #martini #shakennotstirred on us.

Star Trek: Picard, the newest series launched on CBS ALL ACCESS, chronicles the continuing adventures of if not, arguably the most important/popular Trek characters of all time, Jean-Luc Picard (Note disclaimer: Kirk fans will have say about this).
