Crazy 4 Comic Con

I had a wibbly-wobbly, timey whimey, experience at Portland Comic Con this past weekend! It was filled with amazing cosplay, interesting people, and great conversations. I will be posting a few of my panels I had a chance to moderate starting with this Matt Smith interview. This was my second time to chat with the 11th Doctor and as expected, it was amazing. During these excerpts, we talked about how he got into acting, what it was like embodying the iconic role, and what he has learned from the experience. He even channels his inner school girl to convince a teen audience member to check out Doctor Who. Special thanks to Wizard World for allowing me to be a part of the experience.

It’s nerd game night and I couldn’t resist recording another podcast about Star Wars The Force Awakens. Hopefully you caught the last one I posted with Andy and Alice where we talked about our expectations and reviewed TFA. For this one, we discuss fan theories about characters and plot points, get clarity on confusing points and speculate about Episode VIII. I’m joined by a room full of awesome nerds. I hope you enjoy it and please leave your thoughts and speculations in the comment section below.

I finally get a chance to sit down and discuss my many emotion-filled thoughts about Star Wars The Force Awakens! There are many feelings to discuss and I hope you resonate with our positive (and few negatives) review about this epic experience. We also touch a bit on what Star Wars has meant to us and our relationship with the Prequels. I am joined by fellow geek gurus Alice (@Kangaru) and Andy (@Rnandor29 and @TOTLPodcast). Our apologies, Google Hangout was a little unforgiving to us so the audio is a bit rough at times. Happy holidays and I hope you enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to be on the Asian Americans in Media panel at Comikaze Expo in LA. Joined by Psychologist Dr San Juan and Artist Jennifer Sese, we had a chance to discuss the unique challenges of growing up as an Asian American nerd, pop cultural challenges, and the influence of Asians in media. You will get a chance to not only hear about my personal story but you will be challenged to think differently about race and culture.

It was a great Comikaze Expo this past weekend in LA! My how you have grown up! I had some awesome panels, met amazing folks and witnessed some insane cosplay. Over this next week, I’ll be posting some of my panel audio starting with my Marvel v DC: Dawn of Nerdom. Nothing has done more to bring our fandom to mainstream than the Marvel and DC films. However, not all films are created equal. Join profession nerds as they compare and contrast decades of great (and not so great) TV shows and films from our favorite caped crusaders. This is must for superhero cinephile of the Marvel and DC universe. Panelist: @BWard028 @MisfitsTamara @Amy_Marie97 @SEANxLONG

iZombie fans, you will LOVE this interview with iZombie creator Chris Roberson and dynamic artist duo, Mike and Laura Allred from Rose City Comic Con. In this panel, they discuss the origins of iZombie, the unique twist it brought to the genre, and how it became a TV show. This is a must for not only fans of the comic book but for all zombie enthusiasts. Let me know what you think of iZombie the book or show in the comment section below!
