Heir to the Empire: Star Wars Celebration 2023

Somewhere across the pond (that is if you are living on the United States East Coast) held at London, UK, Star Wars Celebration (April 7-10, 2023). It is here where the newest Star Wars projects are announced and promoted. TBC_afp discuss and observe the slate of things coming our way.

The Last of Us (Spoiler Discussion) X In The News

From Super Mario Bros. (1993) to Assassin's Creed and to recently Uncharted (starring Tom Holland), videogames turned into movies and/or TV shows have notoriously flopped one after another. It is an established rule to avoid watching from this genre altogether yet one begs to ask why the entertainment industry continues to churn when the response revies are usually negative.

As of January of 2023, HBO Max has released the live action post-apocalyptic series, The Last of Us, based on the massively popular Sony Playstation game of the same name starring Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (A Game of Thrones). Currently is it enjoying high marks on Rotten Tomatoes (99% Average/ 96% Audience) but is it up to TBC_afp snuff?

Also in this podcast episode: Ant-Man Quatumania trailer/ The Mandalorian S3 trailer and lots more.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Spoiler Review/ Andor Season Finale/ Kevin Conroy RIP

With the passing of Chadwick Boseman, Hollywood was shaken and the Marvel Studios movie machine was left questioning on how to pivot on the production of its expected sequel to Black Panther. The loss of Boseman left a massive void and for studio head Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler to pull the project out of danger. But would they be able to bring reconciliation and healing to those who have lost a friend, a family member and for many an icon.

Black Adam Spoiler Review and More...

Since the mid 2000s, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, then dubbed "the most electrifying man in sports entertainment" had been attached to the project, Black Adam. For many, Black Adam is an unknown whereas for comic book fans he is in DC Comics, SHAZAM!'s chief antagonist, poweful enough even to match the likes of Superman.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale/ Stranger Things S4/ Ms. Marvel

Summer is here and we've got content discussions chock full of fanboy joy from Kenobi's epic finale (for now), to those meddling kids from Hawkins trying to save the world from Stranger Things (again) (again... like four times) and to sweet lil Jersey City Pakistani teenager newcomer on Disney Plus' Ms. Marvel. Definitely a lot to unpack as the TBC team attempts to stay cool. So if you're at the beach or pool, apply some SPF 40 before you turn on those earbuds.

Obi-Wan Kenobi part 1 (Spoiler Discussion)

Hello There... Again!

Star Wars Fanboys of all walks, shapes and sizes have dreamed of Ewan McGregor's triumphant return as one of the frachises' flagship characters, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite, the realization of potentially ignoring canon narrative (due to the expansion of the universe), fans just didn't seem care and if they did, they were relishing at jumping into the mosh pit that is the internet nerd fight dance. This podcast episode of TBC_afp is just another pebble tossed into a seemingly large bucket of water. Listen and Enjoy! #likehowyouowenmemes

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?

Moon Knight (Spoiler Discussion) & In The News.

Moon Knight (Spoiler Discussion) & In The News

When actor Oscar Issac isn't portraying characters stretching throughout the spectrum from Star Wars' Poe Dameron to X-Men Mutant baddie Apocalypse to Dune's Duke Leto Atreides or even voicing animated Spider-Man 2099, He also plays several protagonight due to the titular hero's Dissociative identity disorder in Marvel Studios' Moon Knight on Disney Plus. In Moon Knight we fully get Issac's acting range igniting a spark to one of Marvel's lesser properties.

Also on this podcast episode we catch up on some industry news.

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.
