San Diego Comic-Con 2023 is in the history books! Wow, what an unexpected experience! After the reduced attendance and masked year of 2022, we all expected Comic-Con to be back in full force. However, just days before, the SAG Actors joined the Writers Strike which meant, a massive cancellation of talent and panels for the show. How would Comic-Con be affected? Would it feel the same without the big panels? Would the fans passion be diminished? We answer all these questions and share our highlights and lowlights. Joining me are con veterans Jeff, Becky, Kari and first timer Dana.  If you enjoy this subscribe and leave me a review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks for listening!

San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Recap & Review

LeVar Burton

One of my lifelong dreams has been to share the stage with Levar Burton. I finally had that chance at Awesome Con! We chatted about his start on the acclaimed series Roots. Then he reminisced about his 2 decades of Reading Rainbow. We concluded what it was like to step back onto the bridge of the Enterprise-D after all these years. He was such a lovely guest backstage and I will truly never forget this day. Thank you Awesome Con!  If you enjoy this subscribe and leave me a review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks for listening!

Nostalgia Series Episode 2: Nerds Strike Back

One of things that has made being a Comic Con fan so important to me is how fandom has been so directly connected to my childhood. Over the years, it’s been such a joy to see many of my nerdy passions grow as I have grown up. I’ve finally reached an age where I am taking a deep dive into my childhood by connecting with old friends- most of which I haven’t spoken to in years! I start with Brian, my best bud from late elementary school through to 8th grade. We reminisce about our favorite toys, how he introduced me to role playing games and him owning the first computer on the planet! We go into detail about He-Man, Transformers, Space 1999, Star Trek and more. For you retro toy and tech fans, it’s a fun stroll down memory lane. If you enjoy this, I’ll continue this series with other old friends so subscribe and leave me a review with some of your favorite memories. Autobots, roll out!

Crazy 4 Comic Con

Peter Capaldi

I had an excellent time last week at Austin Comic Con hosted by Wizard World. It was an honor to be able to host a few awesome panels including the Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi. Coming off his tenure as the 12 Doctor, we had a chance to discuss how he got into entertainment, what it was like entering into the world of Doctor Who and what this experience has meant to him. Peter also had a chance to do an impromptu solo with a fan’s guitar! https://crazy4comiccon.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/capaldi-austin.m4a

Building a Geek Brand Panel at Comic-Con 2018

17 years ago, a tiny spaceship landed in a wheat field in a small town in Kansas and gave us the icon superhero show Smallville! I am not only a huge Superman fan but a faithful follower of this seminal TV series so it was an honor to be a part of this panel at Chicago Comic Con. While I’ve worked with Rosenbaum before, I’ve always wanted to meet Welling. They were both incredibly nice and we had a blast onstage. In fact, it was one of the most fun I’ve ever had on a panel! Halfway through, Rosenbaum left the stage to interact directly with fans and hilarity ensued. The audio doesn’t do it justice but at least you’ll get an idea of the shenanigans. If you were a fan of Smallville, this is must. Check out  the Wizard World for shows coming to an area near you! Thank you Edwina and Rachel for the audio! https://crazy4comiccon.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/smallville.m4a

Avengers Infinity War Review Podcast

The 1000th Issue of Action Comics comes out today- a feat no other comic in history has been able to accomplish. It’s fitting since 2018 marks the big boy scout’s 80th anniversary year. 80! Can you believe it? That’s eight decades of leaping tall buildings in a single bound! Not only has he overcome a lifetime of challenges, Superman has become the archetype of which all other heroes are compared. Without him, the landscape of comic books, comic cons and superhero movies would be completely different. To commemorate the release of this landmark issue, I am posting the audio from my Superman celebration from Portland Comic Con this past weekend. Joining me in this panel are Jason Inman, Ashley Robinson and DC artist, Mostafa Moussa. While we agreed on many parts, there were a few heated debates as well! Let me know what you think of Superman in the comments below. Enjoy and go pick up the 1000th issue today! https://crazy4comiccon.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/superman-80.m4a

The 1000th Issue of Action Comics comes out today- a feat no other comic in history has been able to accomplish. It’s fitting since 2018 marks the big boy scout’s 80th anniversary year. 80! Can you believe it? That’s eight decades of leaping tall buildings in a single bound! Not only has he overcome a lifetime of challenges, Superman has become the archetype of which all other heroes are compared. Without him, the landscape of comic books, comic cons and superhero movies would be completely different. To commemorate the release of this landmark issue, I am posting the audio from my Superman celebration from Portland Comic Con this past weekend.

Superman 80th Anniversary

It was another awesome WonderCon in Anaheim this past weekend. Being awesome on many levels, WonderCon also marks the beginning of the con season. Besides traveling to many cons, the best part is being reunited with old friends to talk about relevant pop culture topics. In the past year and a half, my journey has been more entrepreneurial in nature and it’s been a joy to share it with you on panels and podcast. At WonderCon, I hosted the “Fandom to Career; Making Your Wildest Dreams Come True” panel. Below is the panel description and audio. Enjoy! Tony B Kim (Hero Within, Crazy 4 Comic Con) hosts a discussion about how to turn your passionate hobby into a promising career. You’ll learn the various ways to monetize your interests, how to launch your brand, and what pitfalls to avoid. Attendees will get a chance to pitch business dilemmas for the panel to help solve. Panelists include Britta Lundin (writer, CW’s Riverdale), Andre Meadows (YouTube personality, host), Chris Gore (comedian, writer), LeeAnna Vamp (cosplayer, host), and a surprise guest. https://crazy4comiccon.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/wondercon-2018.m4a
