Disney+ / Marvel's Hawkeye (Season 1 Spoiler Discussions) & The Matrix Resurrections

In one of the most notable iconic Marvel cinematic scenes from The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Clint Barton (portrayed by Jeremy Renner) aka Hawkeye tells Wanda Maximoff "...the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots... and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." This pretty much sums up Marvel’s ace archer, Hawkeye who represents the analog superhero in a sea of indestructible gravity defying meta-beings and demigods, nevertheless he remains a fan favorite.

And after years of tail-ending the Avenger cast roster on the big screen, Renner finally gets his time to shine. Only it is on the small screen with his own series on Disney Plus. Additionally, Renner shares his marquee along with popstar/ film ingenue, Hailee Steinfeld who also makes her debuts as... Hawkeye.

None of this makes sense indeed or will it?

Trick arrows or not, TBC_afp is bowed up and ready to draw.

Eternals (Spoiler Discussion)

Partially touted as one of the best Marvel films ever made (by junkets and ad marketing), Eternals, which originally was shown in theatres has now been widely released on Disney Plus. And with that the jury appears to be out with mixed reviews as a newest edition to the MCU created by the legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby in the late 70s. Eternals, for the MCU, would usher entry into the cosmic realm even far beyond what James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy would bring. The film also includes a star studded cast, including Selma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden and newly crowned lead, Gemma Chan (who was previously cast as Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel). The big question here is how was it received at TBC_afp? Tune in to find out.

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. And now, by the time this podcast is out, Spider-Man: No Way Home has triumpiantly captured "post-pandemic" box office gold with still having more steam since it's December 2021 release. 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.

Dune: From Lynch to Villeneuve (Spoiler Discussion)

Bringing Frank Herbert's Dune from page to the big screen has been long considered, to both fans and filmmakers, a Sci-Fi Holy Grail of sorts. With one original failed cinematic attempt (Jodoworsky), two feature films (set decades apart with one sequel in the works) and a Sci Fi Channel miniseries (2000) in mind, every stab at this hard sci-fi saga has been furiously debated on its pretense or grandeur. Yet, Dune's impact on Hollywood is undeniable inspiring those of such as George Lucas to Ridley Scott.

NOT IN THE MOOD you say? Well, order some pumpkin spice Joe, get podcast comfortable and enter the desert world of Arrakis AKA Dune.

007: Never Die Tomorrow Twice Again Part 2 (No Time To Die Spoiler Discussion)

After a five film saga, Daniel Craig concludes his 007 run with No Time To Die. TBC_afp picks up from its last episode keeping the martini shaken and not stirred.

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.

What If?

Since the launch of Disney Plus there have been, in our opinion, some Marvel Studios streaming contect hits and misses from Loki to WandaVision to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Season One of the anthology What If has wrapped up. A Twilight Zonesque animated show exploring the MCU's infinite possiblilities (originally based on Marvel's comic book of the same name), leaves us with opportunity for passioned discussion. Success or flop?

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

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.

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.
