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!

Ant-Man and The Wasp (Spoiler Review) / Steve Ditko RIP

How would Ant-Man’s best buddy, Luis (Michael Peña) describe this podcast episode in his own words? 

“…So there’s like this podcast, its called TBC afp, I mean, afp actually stands for a fanboy podcast. They start off the show by saying: ‘You might not learn anything right… but if you stick around, you just might have some fun’ and I’m like ‘word’ and the co-host and the producer was like ‘word’, Then they start talking stuff about the new Ant-Man and The Wasp movie which  is more of follow up to Infinity War because Scott and Hope were a no show but then people disappeared and started turning to a………”

Deadpool 2 (Spoiler Review) + Margot Kidder RIP

The crew of TBC_afp got down to the nitty gritty topical discussion concerning Bionic Six, Margot Kidder, Telly Savales and a little known latest sequel to the massive juggernaut (full pun intended) hit movie, Deadpool. But how does the Ryan Reynold’s highly anticipated follow up fair? Do we get to see X-Forcer's like Shatterstar jump into action with the pitter patter of lil’ baby Rob Liefeld feet? And what about that "you know what" regarding Brad Pitt? So, chillax, put on some dubstep but not too loud or else you won’t be able to hear this episode.

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.

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?

Aquaman/ Cyborg: Road to Justice Part 3

What’s 6’4”, bearded, has a gnarly eyebrow scar and is married to Lisa Bonet?

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.

And yet, although cancelled prematurely by the executive at FOX, Firefly/ Serenity remains now and foreverfanboy legend.
