Needed to rant...A little about Anthony Oliver and Happy Labor Day WeekendBy Scumalicious

San Diego Comic-Con 2023 is in the history books! Wow, what an unexpected experience! After the reduced attendance and masked year of 2022, we all expected Comic-Con to be back in full force. However, just days before, the SAG Actors joined the Writers Strike which meant, a massive cancellation of talent and panels for the show. How would Comic-Con…

One of my lifelong dreams has been to share the stage with Levar Burton. I finally had that chance at Awesome Con! We chatted about his start on the acclaimed series Roots. Then he reminisced about his 2 decades of Reading Rainbow. We concluded what it was like to step back onto the bridge of the Enterprise-D after all these years. He was such a lo…

San Diego Comic-Con is just next week and I’m back to get you ready for another amazing year. This time, I am joined by the guests of my panel How To Boldly Go Into Star Trek (Thurs 1p).

If you enjoy…

I’m back with another episode in my Nostalgia Series. This time, I reconnect with a friend I literally haven’t spoken to in several decades! Ross was one of my best middle school buddies and I was so happy to catch up with him. When I knew him, he was fanatical about Lego and in this podcast, I discovered that his passion hasn’t changed. When I was…

It’s the second installment of my Nostalgia Series and in this episode, I reconnect with Bob, one of my oldest friends. In this trek through memory lane, we focused on our formative junior high years. We went in deep recalling early role playing games, Warhammer 40k, comic books and getting into mischief on our bikes. It stirred up a lot of fun exp…

One of things that has made being a Comic Con fan so important to me is how fandom has been so directly connected to my childhood. Over the years, it’s been such a joy to see many of my nerdy passions grow as I have grown up. I’ve finally reached an age where I am taking a deep dive into my childhood by connecting with old friends- most of which I …

I’m back from WonderCon 2023 and I’m happy to report it was a FANtastic show.

Our con season begins with the return of WonderCon in Anaheim!

On Saturday of Comic-Con, I had the privilege to host the “This Panel Will Give You Emotional Damage” Panel in room 5AB. To a full capacity crowd, several Youtube stars- each with millions of followers, shared their journey as a content creator. They dispel myths about social media, when they made the big leap as a full time creator and they even m…

The infamous Hall H line. There is nothing like it in the world. For some, it is the most exhilarating pop culture experience and for others, it’s the most disappointing way to spend Comic-Con. With DC, Star Trek and Marvel panels, Hall H is a high stakes game where winner takes all and losers go home empty handed. Late Friday night of Comic-Con, T…

In two months, San Diego Comic-Con returns after a long 3 years! I think I can speak for everyone when I say that one of the biggest experienced missed during the pandemic was this show. It’s not only the return of the the greatest show on Earth, but the return of new episodes of COMIC-CONversations! We kick off this year’s new season with my frien…

After over two years, I return to Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle! During the beginning of the pandemic, ECCC was the first convention to cancel just days prior so it feels good to be back to pick up where we left off. I’ve especially missed hosting panels and while I’ve done some virtual ones, this was one of my first times in front of a live au…

Like the rest of you all, we were hoping to post our traditional San Diego Comic-Con Prep podcast. Unfortunately, we have to wait another year since SDCC was cancelled again. Back in 2009, our team posted our very first Comic-Con podcast- time flies while you’re having fun! However, while there have been many amazing shows since then, 2010 was a ve…
