Join Caroline and Paul as they discuss Paul’s full third day at the ATX TV Festival. Starting with a Criminal Minds cast panel, Paul walked all over the festival map to get to everything he wanted to see and do. A chance to interview Bridget Regan and the creators of a proof-of-concept pilot, Savage, popped up and after watching the pilot competition, he made it in time. From there, he went to the Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed red carpet, screening and panel. Although that sounds like a lot, Paul still had two more panels to go: The Everybody Still Loves Raymond writer’s room panel with Phil Rosenthal and Ray Romano and the big bash of the evening with Bill Lawrence and Friends.

Day one at the 15th Season of Austin’s ATX TV Festival began with a bang! Your intrepid podcaster Paul not only sat in on panels as varied as the importance of familiar faces in modern reality tv game shows and HBO’s mega-franchise House of the Dragon. As cool as those panels were, nothing compared to getting to meet the one and only Brooke Shields in person while she was in town promoting her new show, You’re Killing Me. Listen in as Caroline asks Paul about everything he saw on the first day of the festival!

Comicpalooza 2025 is officially wrapped up, and it was quite the weekend! In this episode, I share a full recap of my time at Houston’s premier pop-culture event, filled with panels, autographs, and plenty of memorable moments.

Things kicked off strong on Friday with an excellent panel featuring Hayden Christensen, where fans got a chance to hear directly from the Star Wars star about his experiences. The excitement ramped up even further on Saturday, which turned into a packed day with amazing panels featuring both Adam Savage and Patton Oswalt. Their insights and stories were highlights, making the sessions engaging and entertaining.

Adding to Saturday’s excitement, I was joined by my kids, Jack and Elizabeth, turning it into a fantastic family outing. Elizabeth had her heart set on getting autographs from two specific celebrities—Cheech Marin and Alan Tudyk. We managed to secure Cheech’s autograph without any trouble, but the line for Alan Tudyk was overwhelming, leading us to postpone that task until Sunday.

Returning on Sunday, I successfully snagged Alan Tudyk’s autograph, fulfilling Elizabeth’s wish and rounding out our autograph collection perfectly. The day wrapped up with stellar panels featuring Ming-Na Wen and Temuera Morrison, both of whom delivered engaging discussions and plenty of entertaining anecdotes.

Later in the episode, Caroline and I dive into a thoughtful conversation about the event’s overall celebrity guest lineup. We discuss whether Comicpalooza should expand their roster to better compete with bigger conventions found in nearby cities like Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and New Orleans, which tend to offer more extensive and diverse celebrity slates. We weigh the pros and cons, discussing what makes these events successful and appealing.

Despite these discussions about potential improvements, my overall experience at Comicpalooza was genuinely positive. It provided plenty of fun, memorable experiences, and quality time spent with family. Listen to this episode to get all the detailed stories, insights, and our personal takes on the weekend’s standout moments!

Dates: June 20-22, 2025
