The Con Guy Podcast

Hot on the heels of the finale of Marvel's epic WANDAVISION, we celebrate our favorite ladies of fandom with our brand-new sister site THE CON GIRLS! In honor of International Women's Day, we pay tribute to Dr. Beverly Crusher, Eowyn from Lord of the Rings, Dana Scully from X-Files, our favorite Dr. Who companions, some Battlestar icons, Ahsoka, and—of course—an incomparable princess from the Star Wars universe. That, and so much more!

Did you feel that geeky earthquake? Those are the tremors set off by the cancellation of the in-person San Diego Comic-Con event for a second consecutive year. We discuss the fallout and the planned online event, the November in-person event, and more.... PLUS, WandaVision heats up, Kenobi has announcements, Walking Dead returns (yes, it's still on!) and more!

The easiest way to start a Star Wars fight is to mention Rian Johnson—which is what we did with special Guest Kurt Smejkal from Three Angry Nerds. And to keep things interesting, we also threw in the new Wednesday Addams series, JJ Abrams’ Constantine, Emma Stone’s Cruella, and Gizmo with a Mountain Dew.

Gina Carano. Joss Whedon. The Snyder Cut. Social media has flexed its might, toppling the popular Cara Dune character from The Mandalorian, along with the once-unstoppable Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and director of the first two Avengers movies. But social media also created the crescendo of voices demanding Zack Snyder’s version of the Justice League. Love it or hate it, Social Media has become the megaphone that Hollywood hears… and fears. Special guest: Mike Ehmcke of Wookiee Radio.

Our very special guest—and friend of the show—Coy Jandreau (Collider, Nerdist, etc) explains WandaVision Episode 5 and takes us on a trip deeeeep into the Marvel Multitude of Madness... cause things just get crazier from here! Coy will blow your mind (like he did ours) with his observations and insights on the Easter eggs, the characters, the connections, and where this whole thing is going. 

The Big Game is done, but those ads are here to stay... which ones were the best? The worst? And who was that guy streaking on the field? Our special guests from the Podguyz Podcast help us tackle all the action, and also discuss the latest Funko Pop news. 

Special guest JD Piche from Red Carpet Reports is here to discuss Syfy's new show Resident Alien starring Alan Tudyk (love it!), leaked photos from the set of Thor 4, Episode 4 of WandaVision, new series Wakanda Kingdom, plus all the latest from Hollywood this week—including a UFO spotted above L.A.

It’s the fight of the century — Godzilla vs. Kong! And the first trailer promises that only one will be left standing! WandaVision episode 3 gets seriously trippy, and the all-new Batwoman is here. And as if that’s not enough…. what’s up with this thing called AMONG US? All that and Bernie Sanders Mittens, and more on this week’s show!

2020 was, in many ways, a dumpster-fire of a year. There’s no denying it… and one industry that was particularly hard-hit was the convention industry, including all comic-cons, fan conventions, and live events. But a vaccine is here and there’s possible good news on the horizon… conventions may be back… but how soon? This spring? Not likely. This summer? This fall? Next year? In this episode, the gang talks about the last convention they attended and the next one they will likely attend. Wondercon. San Diego Comic-Con. Dragon Con. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in …. the Convention center.

Does WANDAVISION deliver? And we're not just talkin' babies. After more than a year since we last saw anything from Marvel Studios, WandaVision arrives on Disney+ to help kick-start Phase 4 of the MCU. We have opinions!
