For the first show of 2021, The Fanboy Podcast’s Mario-Francisco Robles opens the show with a look at recent comments made by Ben Affleck about his time as Batman in the DC Extended Universe. Affleck’s thoughts thoughts stir up a whole discussion for MFR on how Affleck’s run was marred by a studio that couldn’t decide what it wanted DC’s film franchise to be. This segues things into how Zack Snyder was given the keys to the DC kingdom, then tripped up the moment he tried to take his first step into it, and how that means there’ll always be an asterisk on the Snyderverse- because we never actually got…

For today’s special Christmas Day episode of The Fanboy Podcast, host Mario-Francisco Robles opens the show with a special geeky way that he was able to celebrate this special holiday this year. (Hint: It involves Superman!) He then brings on his longtime friend, and former co-host from The Revengers Podcast, Brett Thomas Miro, for a long-form discussion on Wonder Woman 1984 (which arrived on HBO Max today!), what Patty Jenkins’ Star Wars: Rogue Squadron could be about, the future of Star Wars, and a whole lot more- aided by copious amounts of wine, since MFR needs extra bottles for the Holiday Coquito he’s making!

For this week’s packed edition of The Fanboy Podcast, host Mario-Francisco Robles kicks things off with his response to the news that Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins is about to head out into that galaxy far, far away with a film called Rogue Squadron.

Yesterday us geeks of the world got hit with an avalanche of news from both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars Galaxy. The Fanboy Podcast host Mario-Francisco goes item by item, reacting to the projects that were announced during that Disney investor’s call.  From there, MFR turns his attention to Christopher Nolan’s petulant attacks against Warner Bros and HBO Max regarding their decision to do the safe thing by making all of their 2021 films available on the streaming service on the same day they arrive in theaters.

On this week’s episode of The Fanboy Podcast, host Mario-Francisco Robles starts things off right away by breaking down the news that Warner Bros is bringing its entire 2021 film slate to HBO Max. There are several aspects of this news that act as an escalation of what was discussed last time, and MFR is excited to point out how this will BENEFIT Warner Bros and HBO Max in the long run- even if it’s a bummer that these movies won’t strike the kind of box office gold they otherwise could have. From there, he goes into two listener/viewer questions: – Should a theatrically-released Batman film be rated-R? – Will…
