THE FANBOY #25: ""A Year of Cinematic Feasts AND Famines, And The Anatomy of A Scoop!"

It may only be August, but host Mario-Francisco Robles takes a long hard look at 2017 so far and analyzes what a "Feast or Famine" this year has been. With so many incredible cinematic highs, and such crushing lows, Hollywood really has been all over the place. But does the Great outweigh the Horrendous? Is the industry doing anything to shake the impression people have that all they do is play it safe and crank out prepackaged products? MFR discusses. He also takes a listener question about what goes into putting together a scoop in this modern day age of internet journalism, and how some of his peers have really got to step up their game. As always, the week's top Movie/TV News stories are also covered, including: Box Office Analysis David Fincher's New Series, MINDHUNTER SUICIDE SQUAD 2 Losing Its Director JUSTICE LEAGUE's Trailer Failing To Garner As Much Hype As THOR: RAGNAROK's, Brie Larson's Comments on CAPTAIN MARVEL, Stephen King's IT and Much, Much More!

THE FANBOY #22: "The Wonder Woman Retcon, A Storm Of SPOILERS For Spider-Man With Da7e, More!"

Now that Spider-Man: Homecoming is officially out and most of the world has had a chance to see it, MFR brings on The Mar7elous One himself, Da7e Gonzalez from "Storm of Spoilers," "Fighting In The War Room," and MTV to have a spoilerific chat about the latest Spidey reboot.

Host Mario-Francisco Robles opens things up with his SPOILER-FREE review of Spider-Man: Homecoming. From there, he goes into the week's news, and everything takes a turn when he brings on Kellvin Chavez. What was once going to be a 15 minute chat about Spidey, and some Hellboy bochinche, becomes an hourlong discussion about Ben Affleck, DC, Marvel v Sony: Dawn of The Spiderverse, Crying at The Movies, War for The Planet of The Apes, and so much more!

THE FANBOY #20: "DC and Fox's Risks Are Way More Satisfying Than Marvel's Safety Webbing"

In a cinematic landscape that's way over-populated with superhero fair, El Fanboy Podcast host Mario-Francisco Robles finds it interesting that we've gotten two classics this year...and that both came from wildly inconsistent franchises: The DC Extended Universe and Fox's X-Men Universe. In this week's show, MFR discusses the way huge gambles can pay off in a major way- something he thinks the folks at Marvel Studios could stand to learn. In 2017, Fox's X-Men Universe gave us Logan and the WB's DCEU gave us Wonder Woman; Two of the better films to ever come out of Hollywood's attempts to bring beloved comic book characters to the big screen. MFR takes the time here to point out what it is that makes those films so much more satisfying than the safe products churned out by Kevin Feige's Marvel Cinematic Universe. Along the way, he touches on all the week's hottest fanboy news.

THE FANBOY #19: "MFR Assembles A Geek JUSTICE LEAGUE To Talk DC, Han Solo, and Spidey!"

The five gents spend two hours discussing everything from the Venom being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how that affects the Sony/Marvel Spider-Man deal, to the incredibly extensive Justice League Reshoots and the ripple effect that Batman v Superman had on the entire DC Extended Universe, to the unbelievable amount of Director Drama over at Lucasfilm when it comes to their Star Wars movies with the recent abrupt firing of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from the Young Han Solo movie, and so much more!

THE FANBOY #18: "Imploding Universes, Hammering DC, and Kiddy SJW Star Wars?"

Hot on the heels of The Mummy unraveling at the box office and starting off Universal's Dark Universe on shaky ground, El Fanboy Podcast Mario-Francisco Robles explores how cinematic universes themselves are looking these days. From Marvel to DC to Star Wars, how is Hollywood's obsession with Cinematic Universes doing? Is it sustainable? MFR also takes time to touch on all the hottest fanboy topics currently making the rounds: What's Armie Hammer's real status with the DCEU? How is Colin Trevorrow approaching Star Wars: Episode IX?  Josh Brolin is such a fanboy What exactly will Joss Whedon be adding/changing to Justice League (hint: There'll be more Wonder Woman goodness!) And much more!
