007: Never Die Tomorrow Twice Again Part 1 (Classic Movies Era Discussion)

No entertainment intellectual property has stood longer, for better or for worse (depending on who you talk to), than Ian Flemming's British gentleman super spy hypenate sexy womanizing (maybe even misogynist) international man of action, Agent 007 James Bond. Spanning 25 films from when Dr. No was released in 1968, 007 has spawned parodies, uncanonical spin offs all the while influecing the Hollywood action genre... Or perhaps chasing after trends. Fans and critics have argued and romanticized in love and hate, for some time now, over it's questionable yet alluring cinematic quality.

While no different, TBC_afp steps into Her Majesty's Sercret Service to pay homage, oftenly lampooning and maybe even lambast in this two parter podcast. So sit back and have a #martini #shakennotstirred on us.

Shang Chi and The Legends of the Ten Rings (Spoiler Discussion)

The Summer is over and TBC_afp is back after some hiatus, returning to the studio with full on piling mail and upcoming content. First on the list: Marvel Studios', maybe not maybe "experiment" and now certifiable blockbuster, Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings with an all-star Asian cast. It’s got spectacular martial arts, action, family-drama and (spoilers) Avengers but is it TBC_afp certified Thumbs Fresh or Bomb? In-person schooling is back with masks... We are without a mascot... So let's jump right in.

Black Widow (Spoiler Review) & Loki Finale

The crew of TBC_afp give their take on whether Scarlett Johanssen and company delivery a hit or miss. Also, in this episode, Disney Plus' Loki finale. #powertotheproletariat

Say My Name! aka Loki Season 1

For about a decade, Tom Hiddleston has breathed not only life but also a anglo sexy wretchedness into the MCU's first Phase One Arch Villain, Loki, Asgardian God of Mischief. With that Hiddleston single-handedly popularized this Thor nemesis so much to the affect that Disney+ has gloriously (and purposely) released a mini-series chronicling further adventures. TBC_apf delivers a mid series low down but also in this episode, a bit of entertainment news, etc.

Spider-Man FFH/ Stranger Things S3 Spoiler Review

With both commercial and critical successes of Spider-Man: Homecoming leaving high expectations, the second film, Far From Home arrives in the massive wake of Avengers: Endgame. Though Tom Holland’s much praised portrayal of everyone’s favorite web-head seemed to have nothing to prove, it would also appear quite the contrary with lots to prove (due to fanboy constant demands for pitch perfect authenticity of character). We at TBC_afp are no different in that regard as we also measure up. Swing in to find out! #spiderpun

The Thing vs Starman: John Carpenter Retrospective

John Carpenter over decades has been commonly referred to as a master of the cinematic horror action genre. Yet, In fact, filmmakers such as James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro to name a few represent a generation who have been influenced by Carpenter’s eclectic style and in some case armed only with minimal equipment and vision for storytelling. 

TBC_afp deep dives into two of Carpenter’s most iconic Sci-Fi pieces and in some respects, underrated works: The Thing (1982) and Starman (1984). 

Sit back with some oatmeal and pie and enjoy!
