The Con Guy Podcast

With most of the major studios announcing that they're skipping this year's San Diego Comic-Con (mainly because of the writers and actors strike), lots of folks are proclaiming gloom and doom for the event. But not us! Sure, there will be some things we'll miss, but overall, there are so many reasons to believe that this year's event is going to be awesome! Here's 21 reasons — but we're sure there's more!

If you like Battlestar Galactica — and who doesn't??? — then this is for you! From comics and graphic novels to audio drama and animation, Terminus Media is producing exciting and meaningful stories that you will love! And their latest is a sci-fi epic about kings, prophets, outterspace battles, and the crumbling of a king as the chosen successor comes. Oh -- and don't forget the promised giant of legend that will put everyone to the test. This is DOMINION Volume 2, The Fall of the House of Saul. This week we're joined by the writer and artist of this brand-new series, who are here to tell us all about the Kickstarter and their plans for future installments.

In 1993, Steven Spielberg's monumental JURASSIC PARK roared into theaters and convinced us that dinosaurs were real, forever changing motion pictures. It was the biggest (literally) movie of all time, ushering in a whole new era of CGI special effects and shaking up summer blockbuster records. Join us as we reveal the events, screenings, merchandise, and Comic-Con offsites celebrating the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park, an adventure 65 million years in the making!

Ready Player One, Nick at Nightclub, the Monster Ball, and the Barbie Dream Lounge—Bernie Bregman, of XLE Productions, takes us inside this incredible Party Headquarters, which will be touching down at Parq Nightclub in downtown San Diego for this year's San Diego Comic-Con. It's a party every night!

It looks like it may be the end of the line for James Gunn's beloved Guardians of the Galaxy, the misfit galactic family who argued their way into our hearts, and super-charged the careers of both Gunn and leading man Chris Pratt. Is this third film an adventure for the ages, or the letdown of the year? The Con Guy crew takes aim at Marvel's latest summer blockbuster, pulling no punches in our review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

The Force was strong in London! From new movies, TV shows and animated specials, to the latest cast reveals and updated attractions, we bring you the biggest and most exciting news out of Star Wars Celebration 2023. Buckle your seatbelts — we're jumping into hyperdrive!

We break down the highs, the lows, and all the action that happened at WONDERCON 2023, from the Walking Dead universe, Wolfpack on Paramount Plus, Power Rangers 30th Anniversary, comic book goodness, a Funko funhouse, and so much more... oh, and we can't forget #LobbyCon--and the Soup Nazi! Join us for a complete roundup of San Diego Comic-Con's little (but growing!) sister convention.

It's our annual BIG WONDERCON SHOW! It's also our 7th Anniversary (Who'd a thunk it?)....

James Gunn announced the next phase of DC Comics at Warner Bros, called Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Can James Gunn (and Peter Safran) finally deliver films and TV shows that can rival their Marvel counterparts? Can DC produce filmed entertainment that will stand the test of time? The Con Guys weigh in on which announcements resonated the best with us, whether we believe that DC is entering a new Golden Age, and which projects we can’t wait to see. Go James Gunn! Here’s what we think! #dccomics #warnerbros #jamesgunn #superman #batman
