July 14, 2025 2025 Comicpalooza Post-con Report
Hayden Christensen on stage during his panel at Comicpalooza 2025 in Houston, TX.
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.
Highs and Lows?
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!

ATX Season 13 Day 4
For ATX Season 13 – Day 4 and our shortest day of coverage, the team’s schedule was still full up until the moment of our departure from Austin and back into our everyday lives.
Paul attended a career retrospective and Q&A with actor Toby Huss, who was in attendance at ATX thanks to his role in Halt and Catch Fire and the cast reunion held earlier. You may not like all of his characters, but you have to love his skill and dedication to artistic expression.
Mike had the first of two true “ATX moments” at the panel for The Way Home. He explains how he went into the panel with no information about the series and after hearing the passion the cast and crew have for their show, came away wanting to seek it out.
Paul attended the “Breakout Award” ceremony and presentation to Devery Jacobs.
Mike’s second moment came at a “mystery guest” panel. Not every ATX season advertises the moments when celebrities show up and interact with fans – but those moments still seem to happen every year. This year they made it an official panel with guests Austin Nichols and Adrienne Palicki.
Paul’s final panel of the day and for the show was a SUITS retrospective with key members of the cast in attendance.
Join us for a detailed and entertaining recap of Day 4 at the ATX TV Festival. Whether you’re a TV enthusiast or just love behind-the-scenes stories, this episode is a must-listen!
