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

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?

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?

SHAZAM! (Spoiler Review)

A famous writer once penned the line “What's in a name? That which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet” in order to evoke the idea that what really counts isn’t just how a thing is labeled. Rather that true heroic significance and character comes from within or that our actions define us. In SHAZAM!, starring Zachary Levi as DC Comic’s sometimes anti-Superman analog and child’s-eye-view superhero commentary (commonly know through the source material as Captain Marvel), WB/ DC Cinematic Universe attempts to deliver at the Box Office again at the wake of Aqua-success, The World's Mightiest Mortal. Follow TBC_afp as they take that leap of faith and call out SHAZAM!

The Punisher Season 2 (Spoiler Review)

Jon Bernthal may not be The Man in The High Castle (a reference to actress, Alexa Davalos’ two episode cameo) and that is because he is THE MAN WHO IS Frank Castle AKA The Punisher, Marvel’s judge, jury and executioner vigilante featured on Netflix. TBC_afp take another dive into the dramatic second season and final conclusion.

Batman: Road To Justice Part 4

Riddle me this? What do Morgan Freeman from Lean on Me, Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey and almost eight decades of fictional history have in common? Well, the answer is “Batman”, of course, but that doesn’t mean you ought to be shoving Spaghetti into any (“Bat”) Computer in the name of detective work. 

Join TBC a fanboy podcast & friends for an in-depth round table Bat-discussion exploring the heroics, romanticism & complex character profile of DC Comics’ flagship property. 

What will be revealed? That Batman really does sit home to wash his tights? The truth behind Schumacher’s “nipplegate”? Or that Calendar Man will get his own full featured film? Sit tight, get comfortable with some Bat-milk and cookies (yes, the same ones from Scooby Doo) and tune in for a great Bat-Time.

Aquaman/ Cyborg: Road to Justice Part 3

What’s 6’4”, bearded, has a gnarly eyebrow scar and is married to Lisa Bonet? Only that which capsizes all of our manhoods combined here at TBC a fanboy podcast but prior to casting Jason Momoa in Aquaman, Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC epic, this fish talking King of the Seven Seas has endured a long and complex history. TBC a fanboy podcast deep dives (pun intended) again along “The Road to Justice”, profiling each member of The Justice League as portrayed cinematically on the big screen for the very first time. Additionally in discussion, Victor Stone AKA Cyborg, though traditionally a (Teen) Titan by affiliation, also make his cinematic debut as one of “The Six”. Join our TBC fanboys as they come together covering what may potentially be very exciting properties for the DC Cinematic Universe.

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?

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING REVIEW

Billy Elliot The Musical veteran and babyfaced Brit actor, Tom Holland portrays Peter Parker/ Spider-Man (the third actor in line for the big screen) in an unprecedented partnership between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING.  In a star studded cast, HOMECOMING is prelude to Marvel's Cinematic Universe's "Phase 4", ushering in an era expanding more characters and talent into the genre. 

And yet, with senses tingling, our TBC Fanboys swing into the chill of the night and deep dive into Marvel's universally recognizable flagship superhero.  As it is one of 2017's most highly anticipated movies of the Summer, lesson may stick (pun intended) that "with great summer blockbuster, comes a great tub of popcorn" with obligatory restroom break in the middle of the movie.

Wonder Woman Film Review: Road To Justice Part 1

Created in the 40’s, Wonder Woman has evolved over the ages brandishing strength, beauty and feminism to many but not without controversy contained in the course of her history. DC’s archetype and surely GOAT female superhero has graced fans through the ages in comics, toys, TV, animation and finally a solo feature film directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) with Gal Gadot (BvS, Fast & Furious) as Diana, Princess of Themyscira.

The crew of To Be Continued a fanboy podcast offer their Wonder Woman film review in this first installment of ROAD TO JUSTICE, inching its way closer to Warner Bros.' ambitious Justice League.

"All the world's waiting for you and the power you possess… Change their minds, and change the world."

Firefly/ Serenity A Retrospective Part 2: No Power In ‘Verse Can Stop Me

“Joss Whedon keeps creating these zeitgeist-grabbing, fun, brilliant shows that then Fox — It’s like he hands them over to an angry punk that throws them against the wall and ruins them.” -   Patton Oswalt

Without further ado, Here’s part 2 of TBC’s trip into the black that is Firefly/ Serenity.  For the fans, there is always hope of revival, that somehow Joss Whedon’s space western crew will fly again. And yet, although cancelled prematurely by the executive at FOX, Firefly/ Serenity remains now and foreverfanboy legend.

Star Wars Special Part I: The Banter Menace.

Somewhere in Park Slope, Brooklyn this may all be happening right now...  From the team that brought you For The Iron Throne and These Things Write Themselves, a conversation unlike any other on your planet... A podcast discussion about a story about a boy, a girl and a universe... TBC gets into some serious drivel covering George Lucas' most influential "sprawling space saga about rebellion and romance... a spectacle light years ahead of it's time". Did we mention that it happens to be an "EPIC of heroes and villains and aliens from a thousand worlds... a billion years in the making?" Or did we just rip this entire description off of the original 1976 trailer? Why? Because we could hardly contain ourselves to fit it within one podcast episode. Part 1 of 3 #letthewookiewin
