Keeping It Pedro and PatStew: (Picard Season 3/ Mando S03/ The Last of Us Season 1 Finale)
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.

The Last of Us (Spoiler Discussion) X In The News
From Super Mario Bros. (1993) to Assassin's Creed and to recently Uncharted (starring Tom Holland), videogames turned into movies and/or TV shows have notoriously flopped one after another. It is an established rule to avoid watching from this genre altogether yet one begs to ask why the entertainment industry continues to churn when the response revies are usually negative.
As of January of 2023, HBO Max has released the live action post-apocalyptic series, The Last of Us, based on the massively popular Sony Playstation game of the same name starring Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (A Game of Thrones). Currently is it enjoying high marks on Rotten Tomatoes (99% Average/ 96% Audience) but is it up to TBC_afp snuff?
Also in this podcast episode: Ant-Man Quatumania trailer/ The Mandalorian S3 trailer and lots more.
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.

Indeed, 2019 proves to be a significant year for Lucasfilm but will Star Wars episode IX be embraced by fanboys or will another internet troll riddened civil war breakout as when Episode VIII, The Last Jedi divided fans. Meanwhile, we are joined by the intrepid crew of TBC_afp as they hyperdrive right into Lucasfilm/Disney+’s runaway hit, The Mandalorian which currently appears to be a safe spot for everyone to unite in enjoyment. #THISISWAY
