Octobooo Spooktackular 2023: Fright Night (1985/2011) & More

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

DC Studios Multi-Year Plan Announcement and Other News.

And just like that, one half of new head of DC Studios, James Gunn took to social media to announce their road map for the next several years thereby also consolidating its universe for films, TV streaming and comicbooks. No longer will there be differently confusing Batmen and alternate versions of characters under one roof. From non-Henry Cavill Superman to animated Creature Commandos to Authority anti-heros, this primary "phase" has been labeled, Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Even for the cynic, many hope we will get fresh solid storytellings enough to rival Kevin Feige's MCU. Let's wait and see.

The Book of Boba Fett (Season 1, Spoiler Discussion)

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 thereby bringing a grim conclusion to the original trilogy's second installment, Empire Strikes Back. Following with the sequel, Return of the Jedi, Fett, not really living up to his legend, is immediately vanquished (or so it seemed) by Luke Skywalker during Han's rescue fray. And for decades it had been assumed that Fett had perished, end of story. Nevertheless, there had been non canonical tales of Fett's survival and expansion of his people, the Mandalorians during the years of Star Wars wilderness in comic books. Until Disney acquired Lucasfilm and then years followed leading up to the second season of The Mandalorian (2020) on Disney Plus, where we finally see the return of Boba Fett, portrayed by the franchise's prequel vet, Temuera Morrison who cemented his cinematic status as Boba's dad, Jando and it's clones nearly two decades prior. It was then announced that fans would get an additional series called The Book of Boba Fett leaving fans scratching heads on whether this was something new or a continuation to the widely successful Mandalorian series. On this podcast episode TBC_afp delves and evaluates on how TBOBF faired. So strap in and Slave... err Firespray away.

Dune: From Lynch to Villeneuve (Spoiler Discussion)

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.

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
