Tiny Bean's Corner of the IFB Universe / Oct. 14, 2021

 Hello friends! Sorry I couldn't join in live last week, but looking forward to seeing you all on the 28th. On the meantime, a couple of tidbits till then...


Need another reason to check out AppleTv+? Check out the trailer for Invasion, landing Friday the 22nd:
Lots of promise here! The unique part is that the events are shown in real time from the perspective of 5 different people around the globe as they all realize the earth is being invaded by aliens. Oh, and there's Sam Neil, don't we all love Sam Neil?? Brought to you by Producer Simon Kinberg, check out his list of credits and I promise you there's something on there you like.

It's time to talk Squid Game. Have you seen it yet? (not you, Mom, it's not your speed) The biggest hit Netflix has ever seen is a dark, violent series from South Korea. The premise is simple, there is a series of games you can sign up to compete in to win an absolutely life changing fortune in money. The catch? The stakes are literally life or death. And there is a lot of death. This is not for the squeamish. But Squid Game is more than a gratuitous horror series. Is this a comment on economic disparity and moral bankruptcy? Definitely. And the series is incredibly compelling, the sets creepy and perfect, dialogue is crisp, the acting spot on. The challenges each one-up the one before and as you get more involved in the characters the harder it is to stop watching. Twists abound and I will not give them away. But a season 2 may be in the cards...I can hardly wait. Hoping the success of this show will create a need for more shows of this level of quality from around the world. Thank you Netflix for expanding our viewing options!
Here's the trailer:

Now the next time I see you it will be just before Halloween!! I'll have to check out Halloween Kills because, well, you just gotta. But Halloween makes me sentimental, and I'll be hoping to catch some of my favorite spooky shows between now and then. Hoping you all can tell me what your favorite spooky Halloween favorites are?? Do you have any to recommend that may fly"under the radar"?? I'm looking for new options! Let me know, and I'll see you soon
-Tinybean :-)

Teaser Trailer for Obi Wan, check it out here! Looking forward to your thoughts gang: https://youtu.be/EnlOhdFZSXw Now, check out this trailer for the film After Yang.

Tinybean's Corner of the IFB Universe June 18, 2021

Hello IFB fans!  Hope you joined us for a great show last night. As promised, I have some trailer links for you all...Old, Reminiscence, and the 2 teasers for season 4 of Stranger Things. We also talked a lot about the joy that is Sweet Tooth on Netflix. I hope you are watching?? And as The Tipsy Toaster pointed out, it may be slow going for the first 2 episodes, but it's a slow BUILD. By episode 3 you will be hooked, and the rest of the 8 episode season is stellar.  Keep your eyes on the media for the June 25th government UFO file release. SciFi fans, this is going to be a momentous occasion in our history, and I'll be looking to discuss it more on my next segment. In the meantime, I want to hear about your favorite alien character/race/storyline...SO many to choose from! AND speaking of, let's gear up soon for a multi-episode dive into the world of Alien, one of my personal favorites, and hopefully one of yours, too. Live long and prosper friends! See you soon.
