Wizarding Dayz! February 24th and 25th Wizarding Dayz is happening at the South Towne Expo Center here in Salt Lake.  Wizarding Dayz is not a huge con like Salt Lake Comic Con, but it is niched down to focus on Wizards.  The Creators of this convention have put together many different events to help tie together Magic and STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics), but when you start to figure out what it takes to make a wizard you...

The word Fandom is a mashup of the words Fanatic and Kingdom, meaning that you have a group of fanatical people that are loyal to something. Long before TV Shows, Movies, and Comics amassed their Fandoms the Sportsball Fandom was in full swing.  Today we’re talking about the sportsball fandoms both real and imaginary.  From the Puppy Bowl to the Hunger Games and from the National Football League to the Galactic Football League we point out how the very best...

Geek News! Batman has lost it’s director… okay maybe not “Lost” but he has stepped down.  The DCEU Flash has lost it’s director and is getting a page one rewrite.  Things are not boding well for the DCEU.  We talk about what this might mean, and does the tone of Ben Affleck’s statement seem a little PR’ish, maybe even written by the studio?  Did he really want to step down, was he forced down, or is he running away as...

Golden Age Balderdash! We all know what a Superhero is but the genre was basically invented in the Golden Age of comics which takes place between the 1930’s and 1950’s.  This week we bring Joe Darowski from the Protagonist Podcast and Golden Age expert on to play a game of Super Hero Balderdash. For each round we will pick a forgotten Golden Age character and secretly try to guess one thing that is important to that character such as their...

Sherlock Season 4 Spoilers Get ready for another LONG episode. Appearing like Brigadoon from the mists, the modern day retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories on the BBC found its way back to TV.  Like the first three Sherlock seasons out there this season only had three episodes.  Unlike the previous seasons this one had mixed reviews. The potentially final season of Sherlock was filled with murder, mystery and emotions, so many emotions, but was it enough? We talk about...

Crazy Star Wars Fan Theories! Over the years the Star Wars universe has grown and with it has come many fan theories.  Some of them are good and some of them are just crazy.  Today we talk about Rey’s Parentage, who Snoke really is, was Jar Jar the key to everything, and so much more. Random Fandom – Fangirls fuel fandoms Sara Linn writes in to talk about Rogue One and also about how the buying power of teenage girls...

Doctor Mysterio Returns This episode could have been a fun episode but I think we were expecting so much more because we had 366 days without Doctor Who.  If this had been a mid season episode we would probably have been fine with it, but we had some issues with this Christmas Special. Think Doctor Who meets a Hallmark Movie. Random Fandom – TMNT Toys Nik spent the Day after Christmas cleaning out his studio to play musical Televisions, but...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This is Branden and just like on Thanksgiving I wanted to drop an extra episode into your feed at a time where a lot of podcasts take a week or two off. Just like the Thanksgiving episode this one isn’t very long. But this time I’m giving you a sneak peak into a project that I’m working on called Legends Of Fandom. Legends of Fandoms was inspired by the many times that as a parent...
