Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Spoiler Review)

40 years in the making has led to this moment, the last cinematic installment of what shall be referred to as The Skywalker Saga, with Star Wars: TROS (aka episode IX). We say farewell (for now) to Star Wars characters old and young as envisioned by director J.J. Abrams but certainly it has not all been received with laurels since the 2015 blockbuster revival with The Force Awakens. Let us rings in the new year in spoilage discussion a plenty as the crew of TBC_afp weighs in on whether Skywalker rises or sinks.

Star Wars TROS Pregame Discussion + The Mandalorian

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 

Agree2Disagree: Alita Battle Angel/ Star Trek Discovery Review.

Actual Transcript from TBC_afp… 

Miguel A. Velez (co-host): “I have to say that I was very much impressed with what they did for Alita. The fights are what any fanboy could possibly ask for. I hope to expect more down the pike from Rosa Salazar….

Edward Ng (co-host): Miguel, YOU IGNORANT SLUT!

Doctor Who Special

Originally recorded on December of 2018, TBC_afp and invited Guests got together for discussion about a special fanboy topic spanning close to 60 decades. As the subject has been referred to as “The Oncoming Storm”,  “The Bringer of Darkness” or “Last of the Time Lords”,  this Hero is usually (and humbly) referred to as The Doctor. So, if you’ve been living under a rock either of recent or for the past 56 years still asking “Doctor Who?”, whether you’re a diehard Whovian or just a fair weather fan, then prepare some tea (with perhaps some fish fingers and gravy, biscuits even) as we traverse through Time and Space celebrating The Doctor of BBC’s Doctor Who.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Spoiler) Review

Think you’ve heard all that’s needed to be said about the sequel to Star Wars: The Force Awakens appropriately titled The Last Jedi? In this new installment, we finally got to hear Luke Skywalker speak after 3 decades of absence from the fanboy consciousness. We also pick up where we left off with our newly embraced trinity: Rey, Finn, Poe as well as with the abhorred First Order bunch led by Kylo Ren. Well, this is not going to go the way you think as the intrepid crew of TBC (a fanboy podcast) attempt to angle the deflector, punch the hyperdrive and be the spark that’ll light the fire perhaps only to exchange some finger lickin’ porg rotisserie recipes in the process.

Also, we return back to some Eggo eating at the Upside-Down with a review of Netflix’s, highly anticipated sequel, Stranger Things 2. 

Finally, a show worthy where we get to learn the secrets of Steve Harrington’s hair.

The Flash: Road to Justice Part 2

Faster than a Kyptonian…. Less powerful than a Gorilla…. Able to scale up building walls without effort at super speeds. It’s The Flash aka The Scarlett Speedster aka Barry Allen or Wally West or Jay Garrick and the Boys of TBC get into one of the most popular DC icons of all times. 

Also in continuation, we pick up where our fellow Super Friends: Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, El Dorado & Samurai, left off along the Road to Justice (League Movie Premiere).

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Review

It’s TBC's frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 review… only without the FRICKIN’. 

Does James Gunn’s sequel match up to his massive 2014 Marvel hit? Do our fellow TBC Fanboy’s come and get their love for this new installment? 

Surely, we are all still Groot but come on…. Five post credit scenes??!! I had a large fountain drink at the cineplex and can’t hold my urine anymore!!!

Firefly/ Serenity A Retrospective Part 1: Aim To Misbehave

“Me and Abed have an agreement If one of us dies. We stage it to look like a suicide caused by the unjust cancellation of Firefly. We're gonna get that show back on the air…”                                  - Troy (Donald Glover), NBC’s Community.

Thus we enter the ‘verse of Firefly aka Serenity, Joss Whedon’s short lived yet highly praised space western (FOX 2002-2003), considered a cornerstone masterpiece by sci-fi genre lovers. The fans, aka Browncoats, unprecedentedly rallied and were rewarded with a full feature cinematic film post cancellation. Like Star Trek, Firefly/ Serenity sparked a renaissance of the fan driven trend in entertainment intellectual property. 

Soar like a leaf in the wind with our TBC Fanboy podcasters as they deep dive for some Alliance gold and not into some 狒狒的屁眼 (Baboon’s Asshole/ FAY-FAY duh PEE-yen). #curseyoursuddenbutinevitablebetrayal #youcanttaketheskyfromme

Star Wars Special Part II: Attack of the Respirators

Last when we left our podcast episode, turmoil has since engulfed the land. Hoping to resolve the matter, our TBC cast of characters engage in discussion concerning Star Wars sequels, toy fair, comic books and deadbeat Jedi.

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
