Ever since I walked out of the theater almost two years ago, I have thought about “The Last Jedi” every single day. I haven’t decided whether that’s charmingly geeky, or a sign that I need an intervention. Regardless, I’ve really fallen in love with Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars sequel trilogy and
Earlier this month, I achieved a new geek milestone: I went to a comic book store and purchased comics for the very first time! To be fair, I’ve read a few comics/graphic novels in the past, but I wasn’t sure where to start in terms of really diving into the
Dragon Con Saturday begins with “Deconstructing Doctor Who” and ends sharing space with almost every other fictional character, some of them combined. First up is “What makes the Doctor, the Doctor”. My fellow co-hosts and I on Earth Station Who lead a fun and fascinating discussion on what character traits and story tropes define the Doctor across
It’s Friday noon and the vendor hall is a sea of bodies. It’s hard to know where to look when there are so many shiny things to catch your eye. I’m immediately drawn in by a row of beautifully hand drawn illustrations, until I see the exquisitely embroidered clothing and oh wait
Dragon Con on Thursday is a liminal space. It feels strange roaming through half full hotels. The excitement is like a low key vibration in the back of my head. There’s just enough cosplay to heighten anticipation but I’m not fully immersed yet. The low thrum of the smaller crowd isn’t enough to hide the distraction
I’m sitting in the tiny Tallahassee airport attempting to guess if any of the other passengers on my flight to Atlanta are going to Dragon Con. My knee jerk first impression is probably not but what do I know? That’s the magic of a con – you can transform yourself
We’ve had a LOT of major geek news within the past week or so, and fans have had plenty to discuss (not to mention the fact that plenty of people are still debating the Game of Thrones finale). I couldn’t decide on just one topic for my weekly entertainment blog
Well, as Marvel fans we have now experienced and (mostly) survived the “Endgame.” After 10+ years and 20+ movies, Marvel Studios has brought this stage of storytelling to a close with a finale that broke box office records and was generally well received by critics and fans. The question we
Something that people may not know about me is that I like Star Wars just a little. I’m kidding, of course — anyone who talks to me for more than 5 minutes is probably going to hear about how much I love Star Wars, how it’s my favorite franchise, why I
I went to my first geek convention of the year on Saturday, and going to a con always makes me feel hyped and ready to attend more cons! Going to a con can be a fun but also sometimes overwhelming experience, depending on the number of attendees, guests, vendors, etc.
By now you’ve probably seen the meme of Mickey Mouse wearing Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet from “Infinity War,” with the Infinity Stones symbolizing the different franchises/studios Disney has acquired thus far — Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Last week, the Walt Disney Company officially added another “Infinity Stone” to the gauntlet; the
I’m sure many geeks would agree that this is a pretty good time to be a superhero fan. Superhero films seem to be breaking box office records left and right, and we’re seeing a diverse array of superhero stories portrayed on both the big screen and on TV. If all
