How 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:46.680 was it was? 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.080 It was really cool. Yeah, I was a bit nervous 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.840 about going, obviously because of everything that's going on, but 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.600 it was really amazing. I was out there predominantly for 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.800 Den of Geek and they put me up in a 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.120 tell that was with Walky Distance, which was amazing. And 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.440 my cover story was there with The Rock and p 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.959 and Quintessa Swindell, and it was really surreal to see 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:15.400 people just giving it out in an extremely unexpected thing 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.880 that occurred. I think it was Thursday or Friday night. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.960 The Rock Dwayne Johnson took my cover story on Jimmy Kimmel, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.200 which was being hosted by Kerry Washington, and then was 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.920 just like Kerry Washington was just holding the cover stuf. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.520 It was an amazing thing to see. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.400 Yeah, none of it, I know. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.359 None of us knew it was going to happen, and 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.280 it was the only copy that was out there, so 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.079 that was really special. And then the Godzilla panel was amazing. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.959 It was super stacked, a bunch of people came. We 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.239 announced a bunch of amazing new comics by a bunch 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.280 of my friends and people that I love. So that 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.480 was really cool. And yeah, it was just really good. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.120 I played it pretty safe. I didn't really do too 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.320 many of the parties or anything. I didn't. I just 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.240 I snuck onto this show floor where I could. But 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.360 generally I felt like it was very chilled out compared 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.840 to San Diego's in years past, and it had it 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.800 had quite a walkable vibe in a way that the 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.840 old San Diego's didn't. So I was enjoying that. How 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.040 is it for you and your low? Uh? You had 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.119 a low little time? Well? 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.480 Let yeah, first of all, uh, I love a con 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.600 Let me just say that right off the bats love. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.160 I love a convention. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.960 If you've never been to SDCC or Dragon Con or 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.400 New York Comic Con or whatever comic con is in 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:40.960 your area, it's so fun. It's like being amongst our people, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.600 you know what I mean. Like and you see everyone 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.920 in costume, You see all the cost playing, You see 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.080 like whole families in costume, which is always so fun. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.080 Walk by artists alley and see artists that you've. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.520 Loved and admired your entire life. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.800 Jem Dodam's the most famous eyes. You know. I was 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.360 I interviewed a couple of people for another piece, like 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.240 a vibe check piece I have come in and one 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.800 of them was just like you know. I was walking 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.000 down the street and Rob Lifeld was walking the other 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.000 way like it's just every I remember the first time 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.680 I ever went to San Diego, I was walking. I 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.600 was just walking around the show floor. It was I 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.560 think it was probably preview night and I was just 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.160 chilling and Grant Morrison was there signing at a heavy 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.160 metal booth and there was no cue, so I was 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.800 chalking to Grant Morrison, and then two booths over was 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.280 the Hernandez brothers who do love them rockets, And that 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.160 really encapsulates. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.680 The magic of it. That's you can bet. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.600 Yeah, you can see, you can meet fans who you 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.760 who love the same stuff as you, but you can 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.159 also meet those creators. And also, like you said, I 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.520 saw a whole family and they were dressed as every 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.200 character from everything everywhere, all at once. So there's just 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.560 like amazing cosplaying and that this is all the stuff 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.640 that's aside from those massive moments like hal h, this 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.360 is just stuff anyone can enjoy. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.880 And I did host the House of the Dragon paneling 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:08.440 age that was first of all the night before. So 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.520 by now you know that I'm also co hosting the 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.200 HBO's House of the Dragon podcast, which I'll talk. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.159 About more in a second. So we were doing interviews, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:15.599 a bunch. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:20.880 Of interviews and stuff for that with really exciting people, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.039 including one George R.

I didn't go out until I 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.640 had finished all my obligations. I didn't go to art 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.400 sally do any of that stuff because I was just like, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.800 I don't want to get I don't want to be 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.400 the person that potentially gave anybody COVID.

Obviously, when 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:34.040 you do official podcast work, you can only talk about 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.400 the thing.

Here I can just get crazy 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.320 and talk about stuff and don't I don't for House 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.720 to the Dragon. I don't know anything. I will be 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.720 getting screeners tonight. I'm going to We're taping us on Wednesday. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.880 I'm going to the premiere. I'll see the first episode. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.079 I'll be getting screeners so that we. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:14.880 Record that stuff. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.400 But I've also read the books, as I did with 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.520 Game of Thrones, and I'm not going to sit here 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.199 and spoil anything for anybody. And it's not like I'm 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.240 really gonna know anything. I'll have a couple of days 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.640 jump on everybody, But that's so we could record the podcast, 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.280 and that's no different than anything that has happened before. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.880 All of which is to say X ray Vision remains 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.679 cool and it will continue to be cool. Let's talk 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.000 about the House of the Dragon panel. It was just 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.559 really fun. It was amazing to get to interview George, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.400 to get to hear him speak, to get to meet him. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.959 He had he also has been very concerned about COVID, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.360 had not really left his home, as he said at 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.920 the panel, and so just have him there to see 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.000 him there was just I really appreciate the time with him. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:10.360 Quick editorial note George R. Martin has indeed tested positive 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.199 for COVID, although thankfully it seems that his symptoms are mild. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:20.320 Back to your previously recorded proper. You know, that is 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.720 a set of stories that it just meant a lot 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.960 to me in my life. I absolutely love them. I 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.240 think that as a world builder, he's maybe the best 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.559 to ever do it. I don't think, you know, if 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.520 you look at the way he's built out a Song 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.560 of Ice and Fire and Westress and all the stories 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:44.840 that revolve around that, it's almost you could almost go 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.160 to any date in the fictional history and find out 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.680 what was going on. It's just so granular and it's amazing. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.240 And so that was a really incredible experience. I would 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.800 say about ten to fifteen minutes in my adrenaline warn 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.080 off and I felt okay, but it was like it 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.800 is surreal. My hands were shaking. Now who went up 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:09.480 before us DC Films and Black Adam, which means that 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.640 I was. I was in the green room watching the 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:18.200 Black Adam team react to the Rock coming out of 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.640 the ground, levitating, levitating out of the stage in the 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.000 Black Adam costume, like fully committed to the thing. And 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.720 then later, as you know, the entire house, the Dragon 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.360 panel was lined up to go on on stage. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.559 The Rock then walked past us. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.920 Now you did this entire cover story, big deal for 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.480 Black Adam. Tell us about your reaction to the Black 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:42.079 Adam panel. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.800 I thought, I was just thinking about how Dwayne the 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:53.360 Rock Johnson legally before we start, he must have been 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.959 so happy. This is just such a passion project for him, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.960 you can tell. And something I mean, this is fifteen 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.160 in the making, you know, ten years since he started 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.320 developing it, but fifteen since he was first attached to 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.480 the role. And this is something where the thing he 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.800 cares about the most. In my cover story, which is 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.360 you can now read it as well on the Den 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.160 of Yek website. But in the cover story, he tells 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.600 this great story about how when he was you know, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:24.040 wrestling to fifty people in flea markets, that's when he 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.720 learned that fans will always guide you. And Black Adam 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.160 is all about this notion of him wanting to bring 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.360 this character to life, bring the JSA to life on 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.800 the big screen in live action, which has never happened before. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.559 And he wants to do it because he loves the characters, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.720 and that's clear, but he also really wants to bring 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.040 the oldest DC superhero team you know, to life, because 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.000 he knows that that's something fans want. So I just 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.960 it warms my heart to think of him with six 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.559 thousand fans in the fore costume levitating, and it's been 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.320 so long since somebody's taken advantage. Paul h like that. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.720 I think the most famous time is Loki. You know 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.200 Tom Hidles still dressing as Loki. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.440 So I love it. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.720 I love to see people blow up. They played five minutes, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.280 I think five new minutes, but they released a shorter 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.320 clip of that. It looks great. It expands on what 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.560 we already knew, which is, you know, his son is 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.800 going to sacrifice himself. He was an enslaved Kandaki man 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.960 in the past. He gains these powers from the Wizard Shazam. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.000 I love it. It's such a dark, gritty trailer, but 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.840 it's so fun every time you throw it back to 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.240 the fact he got his powers from the Wizard. That 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.120 means we see Jam and Hansu, who I love. We 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.920 also got a trailer for Shazam Fury of the Gods, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.160 which is inherently connected to Black Adam, though we don't 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.800 know whether he will be in this movie or not, 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.400 because in the comics, Black Adam was the first person 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.720 to get the powers of the Wizard Shazam before Billy Batson. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.480 Billy Batson whenever he says Shazam becomes the hero known 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.960 as Shazam formerly known as Captain Marvel. For a fun, 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:06.040 confusing nod, Black Adam always has the powers because he 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.800 was the first person to get them, and he got 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.800 them as an adult. But yeah, I thought it was 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.400 really fun. I loved the first Shazam movie. I thought 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.680 it was just it had like a real Ghostbusters or 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.320 Gremlins vibe. It had these horror elements, but it's a 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.120 family movie and there was a big moment at the end. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.760 Spoiler alert for a movie that came out a few 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.960 years ago where all the kids in what used to 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.200 be called the Marvel Family in what DC casually calls 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.040 the Shazamily now they all get powers. And it was great. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.120 It's a great it's a great family right. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:43.440 It works, and it's actually so I love stories about kids, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.760 as everyone who listens to the podcast knows, so to 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.280 see these kids getting their powers, I mean, Megan Good 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.280 as a superhero who doesn't want to see that. So 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.240 I'm really excited for that aspect, and I think it 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.960 will be really fun. Chazam's coming out the end of 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.040 this year beginning of next next year, and Black Adams 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.960 coming out in October. So and the fact that these 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.840 were the two movies that they bought to San Diego 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.800 makes me think that they're probably gonna have that connection 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.360 that was originally meant to happen in the first Shizam movie. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.440 Up next a lot of really fun Star Trek news. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.680 We got to see what the Star Trek the next 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:25.120 generation cast will look like in costume for some promos 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.040 for the third and final season of Picard. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:28.120 I love that show. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.640 They got a trailer for the very funny Lower Decks 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.800 season three, which included an appearance of Deep Space nine 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.720 and for the panel, Lower Decks leads Tawny Newsome and 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.880 Jack Quaid were there. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.840 I saw them in the green room also. It was 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:43.440 really cool. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.360 And they're going to appear in a live action crossover 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.760 episode of a Strange New World season two that was 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:55.360 also announced. And then producer Chris has some fun Star 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.360 Trek Royalty stories to tell us, because at one point 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.480 I was like, I was like, you know, I had 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.920 gotten done with a bunch of my stuff and I 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:08.040 had finally braved artist ally and spent all my budget 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:09.200 in under a minute. 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.960 And then I was like, Hey, what's everybody doing? 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.080 And Chris was like, you know, just casually hitting the 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:20.959 bars with various cast members of Lower Decks. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:21.320 What. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.639 Yes. I was very lucky that our dear friend and 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.520 colleague Kendre and I were able to get to go 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:29.400 to some of the events. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.080 His main reason we're down there was to kind of 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.000 go and promote. 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.280 The show and connect with people, and so we were 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.800 able to get to go to the FX party, the 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.520 What we Do in the Shadows party, which the whole 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.280 the whole cast is also there too. I briefly got 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.320 to meet a chance to meet some of them. But 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.480 the most exciting thing was I got to spend pretty 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.280 much the rest of the evening hanging out with like 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.080 half the cast of Star Trek, Strange New Worlds, and 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.320 half the cast of Summer Decks, which as a Trek 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.680 fan was incredible and I kept my cool all the 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.560 way through. It took till the end be like, oh, like, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.080 by the way, I'm also a big Trek fan, and 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.879 then we got to like geek out about love that 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.680 wrath of con and everything. But yes, they are all 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.880 like as lovely as you'd want them to be, which 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.080 is also exciting because in particular, Strange New Rules and 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.920 Lower Tax are just great shows. They're like, they're so good. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.320 They're episodic, which you rarely get anymore. They're really funny, 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.760 they're really heartfelt. Genuinely, I think. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.080 Some of my favorite steffiic on TV right now. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:25.480 And I got a chance to tell them all that, 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.679 which was pretty crazy. But yes, I never thought my 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.280 wildest days of going to comic Con for for over 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:34.720 a decade now, like two thousand and nine was it 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.560 my first year going. But I never thought that I'd 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.640 get to do like the Macarena with the actor who 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.439 plays Bock at a San Diego bar, which I love. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.040 Magic, folks, is magic. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.199 This is what I'm saying right like this, These are 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.600 the experiences, especially if you're like Superducer Chris. If you 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.000 can be in that space and be respectful and just 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.760 be like, here are some people who want to have fun, 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.680 like yeah, I love them, you can end up having 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.240 really special experiences because everyone who's there is just there 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.760 because they love this stuff. They love making this stuff, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.040 they love talking about this stuff. So you get to 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.000 have these kind of out of body experiences. And I'm 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.719 really glad you and Kendra did the socializing because this 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.560 was the first year when I really got invited to 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.159 any of the big proper parties. But I was just 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.800 so nervous about COVID that I was just chilling in 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:28.520 my hotel. I'm living by Carrious your story a month ago. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.520 So okay, I think it's worth the risk and ultimately 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:32.560 proved very much worth it. 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.359 Yes, well, I mean people, folks have been clamoring for 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.600 Star Trek stuff, so we have to have you and Kendra, 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:45.360 who is is Star Trek Royalty.

Really is it really is 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.280 Pickard Discovery, especially in those later seasons. But now you know, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.800 strange new worlds, lower decks. I feel like those two 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:09.160 have really Star Trek is always a fandom that has 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.520 many different facets, and everybody loves their own season and 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.320 different things like they work for them and don't. But 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.199 strange new worlds and lower decks. I feel like that 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.240 has united the Star Trek fandom definitely in a way 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.800 I haven't seen for a long time.
