San Diego Comic-Con 2019 - Part One

While plenty was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 this Summer, MARVEL STUDIOS PHASE 4 was the major takeaway of what was to come. Some other notable mentions such as Star Trek’s new series: Picard, along with a new official trailer surely blew roof off over a sea of cosplayers and nerd attendees alike . Tune in for TBC_apf’s full coverage.

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!

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.

Aquaman (Spoiler Review)

What do you get when you combine Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Splash together ? Hopefully not just an epic food fight at Red Lobster, of course. Nevertheless, The TBC Fanboy Heroes Three (trademark pending) deep dive into  DC Cinematic Universe’s latest continuing underwater saga and closing in on $1 billion box office hit, AQUAMAN.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (Spoiler Review)

They’ve always given Star Wars characters some pretty peculiar names like Boba, Sheev, Dooku and Han? But in Solo A Star Wars Story, do we get to find out Who Shot First? What’s on the Falcon?  or if I Dunno’s on Corellia? I mean we may never fully understand but at least Lando’s no a system. (Drum roll)

So in moving on... Angle the deflector and hit play with the crew of TBC_afp as they strap in to make the jump past the Kessel Run in under 12 parsec (Which would be a miracle if this episode is kept under 2 hours).

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.

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?

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 2: No Power In ‘Verse Can Stop Me

“Joss Whedon keeps creating these zeitgeist-grabbing, fun, brilliant shows that then Fox — It’s like he hands them over to an angry punk that throws them against the wall and ruins them.” -   Patton Oswalt

Without further ado, Here’s part 2 of TBC’s trip into the black that is Firefly/ Serenity.  For the fans, there is always hope of revival, that somehow Joss Whedon’s space western crew will fly again. And yet, although cancelled prematurely by the executive at FOX, Firefly/ Serenity remains now and foreverfanboy legend.

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
