Needless Things Podcast Episode 12 - The GI Joe: A Real American Hero Panel
This is the big one,
Phantomaniacs.
You’ve heard the action figure panel.
That one is really my pride and joy because it is the first Dragon
Con panel that I was responsible for. Obviously I love action figures
and toys and it was a blast to blather on about them with Gary and
Geena for an hour. I’m pretty sure we’ll do it again next year in
some form.
You’ve heard the He-Man panel.
That one was special because me and Beau got to do our Needless Thing
in front of an audience and… sometimes my phrasing is really bad.
Gary was with us on that one, too, because Gary is awesome. But the
awesomest awesomeness was the fact that we got to talk with William
Stout. That made that panel extra special. And I’m so glad I got to
record it. I learned my lesson about recording panels after being on
a fantastic Elementary
panel at TimeGate with (dude) and it having a single shred of
evidence from it.
But now it’s time for
my passion. It’s time for the panel about the toy line and cartoon
and comic book that ruled my childhood above all others. Yes, even
above Star Wars.
The GI Joe panel wasn’t
technically mine to run like the others, but I felt just as
proprietary about it. Much like Beau and the Masters panel, I knew I
had a valuable resource to tap for the Joe panel – Gnoll. That guy
knows 80s pop culture like you wouldn’t believe. And Hasbro
properties are a specialty of his.
Joining us were
Award-Winning Bobby Nash and the walking Trivial Pursuit: Nerd
Edition known as Gary Mitchel.
Guys – this panel was
electric and it wasn’t just us (thought we were probably
important). We had an unbelievable audience for this one. Despite the
fact that it was 7 PM on the final full night of Dragon Con, the room
was packed – literally standing room only – with enthusiastic Joe
fans. In all honesty the whole thing was pretty emotionally charged
for me. To be sharing that space with the talent at the table and so
many fans was a powerful thing. And we had a great discussion about
GI Joe. Check it out.
