Christian and Jonah unpack why gaming conventions from PAX West to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. They swap cosplay horror stories, talk about meeting YouTubers and voice actors in person, and explain how conventions became the glue that keeps their high school friend group together. Then they veer into movies and TV: Batman hype, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Maul, Rick and Morty, and a long, honest debate about modern Spider-Man, Star Wars, God of War, and whether Hollywood is doing fandom justice.
