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

Spider-Man: No Way Home (Spoiler Discussion)

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.

On this episode of TBC_afp we get into the sauce of the excitement surrounding Spider-Man: NWH and it's well/ not so well kept secrets.

Ant-Man and The Wasp (Spoiler Review) / Steve Ditko RIP

How would Ant-Man’s best buddy, Luis (Michael Peña) describe this podcast episode in his own words? 

“…So there’s like this podcast, its called TBC afp, I mean, afp actually stands for a fanboy podcast. They start off the show by saying: ‘You might not learn anything right… but if you stick around, you just might have some fun’ and I’m like ‘word’ and the co-host and the producer was like ‘word’, Then they start talking stuff about the new Ant-Man and The Wasp movie which  is more of follow up to Infinity War because Scott and Hope were a no show but then people disappeared and started turning to a………”

Deadpool 2 (Spoiler Review) + Margot Kidder RIP

The crew of TBC_afp got down to the nitty gritty topical discussion concerning Bionic Six, Margot Kidder, Telly Savales and a little known latest sequel to the massive juggernaut (full pun intended) hit movie, Deadpool.

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?
