    2026/06/08
    In the season finale of Warp My TARDIS, KJ and Security Dan dive into a whirlwind of fandom news, emotional farewells, and upcoming genre chaos.

    The episode opens with the hosts reflecting on a hectic season and announcing a four‑week hiatus before returning with coverage of Enola Holmes 3 and Strange New Worlds.

They break down the newly revealed Star Trek: Shadow Frontier game—featuring the return of Ro Laren—and speculate on tone, gameplay, and franchise implications.

    The episode also covers:
    • Wil Wheaton’s virtual convention experiment
    • The rise of darker sci‑fi gaming aesthetics
    • Gundam’s next big title (Rogue Orbit)
    • The stylish debut of Spider‑Man Noir
    • A nostalgic deep dive into Tex Murphy’s Kickstarter revival
    • Summer con season chaos in Toronto
    • A spoiler‑free reaction to Amazon’s Masters of the Universe reboot
    • Hype for the upcoming Supergirl film and the expanding DCU
    • A quick check‑in on Dungeon Crawler Carl progress

    The hosts wrap with excitement for Season 11, upcoming events, and plans to table at conventions later this year.

  • Season 10, Episode 16 (May 31, 2026): Mandalorian & Grogu... a review

    Season 10, Episode 16 (May 31, 2026): Mandalorian & Grogu... a review
    2026/06/06
    This episode dives deep into the newly released Mandalorian & Grogu film, with KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan giving a full, spoiler‑rich breakdown of the story, action sequences, character moments, and the film’s place in the broader Star Wars universe. You open with reactions to the movie’s strong opening, standout stunt work, and the surprising emotional impact of Sigourney Weaver’s New Republic role. The discussion highlights the film’s blend of practical effects, puppetry, and classic Star Wars callbacks — from AT‑AT climbs to holochess creature cameos — all supported by direct references in the transcript such as “the beautiful sequence of Mando just coming in and taking out 12 stormtroopers” and “all of those creatures are the hollow chess creatures.”

    We explore the shifting state of Star Wars as a franchise, including the passing of Marcia Lucas and the uncertain future of upcoming projects. The conversation expands into trailer reactions for Masters of the Universe, Brand New Day (Spider‑Man), and The Odyssey, with commentary on casting, tone, and production styles.

    Later, we shift into Doctor Who news, discussing production delays and fan concerns, supported by lines like “there was a decision being made by the BBC to delay production and we were not going to see a 2026 Christmas special.” The episode wraps with updates on Dungeon Crawler Carl, reactions to major plot moments, and a preview of the upcoming season finale of Warp My TARDIS — plus a nod to the latest Geeks With Dice session and its escalating campaign stakes.

  • Season 10, Episode 15 (May 17, 2026): Long weekend Gundam Time!

    Season 10, Episode 15 (May 17, 2026): Long weekend Gundam Time!
    2026/06/03
    KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan settle in for a long‑weekend edition of Warp My TARDIS, diving into everything from Canadian mall chaos to Gundam model kits, 3D printing, cosplay culture, and the state of modern fandom. The episode kicks off with long‑weekend traffic miracles and questionable mall decisions before spiraling joyfully into a deep discussion about Gundam collecting—perfect grades, exclusives, sprue recycling, and the ever‑evolving aesthetics of mobile suits. From life‑sized statues in Japan to the Witch From Mercury designs, the hosts explore how Gundam has changed and why fans are divided.

    They shift into cosplay talk, comparing Anime North’s craftsmanship to the increasingly store‑bought vibe at Fan Expo, sharing maker tips (including the legendary “chicken wire cape” solution), and reflecting on the joy of building things as fans.

    Convention season continues with news of a Toronto Supernatural con, Fan Expo guest announcements, and the stunt performers behind The Mandalorian. That leads naturally into the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie, the magic of puppetry, and the controversy surrounding Hot Toys’ young Ahsoka figure.

    From there, the conversation widens to the current lull in Star Wars, Marvel fatigue, Nicolas Cage’s Spider‑Noir, the new He‑Man movie, and nostalgic hopes for Thundercats or Silverhawks adaptations.

    The episode wraps with pure chaos and delight: the release of Dungeon Crawler Carl: A Parade of Horribles, the wildness of Floor 10, Jeff Hays’ narration challenges, LitRPG Con hype, and the record‑breaking DCC Kickstarter that refuses to stop climbing. A packed, hilarious, deeply nerdy episode—classic Warp My TARDIS.

  • Season 10, Episode 14 (May 10, 2026): SciFi Mothers Day

    Season 10, Episode 14 (May 10, 2026): SciFi Mothers Day
    2026/06/01
    This week on Warp My TARDIS, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan open with Mother’s Day greetings before diving into a heartfelt tribute to the late Kenji Oba, legendary Space Sheriff Gavan actor and Sentai icon. Drawing from decades of fandom, they reflect on Oba’s impact across Super Sentai, Power Rangers, and classic Japanese action cinema — noting, “Kenji Oba was all over that… probably best known for Space Sheriff Gavan” . From there, the hosts shift into a whirlwind of geek culture updates:
    • He-Man movie merch leaks, including the now-infamous yard‑long Power Sword drink holder that has both hosts questioning their bladder capacity.
    • Star Wars hype, from May the 4th celebrations to the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu film and the rise of competitive lightsaber fencing through LudoSport.
    • Fan Expo Canada guest news, highlighting stunt performer Brendan Wayne, one of the physical actors behind Din Djarin.
    The back half of the episode becomes a deep, thoughtful dive into how to introduce newcomers to Star Trek — sparked by a coworker’s question. They explore viewing orders, the challenges of TOS camp, the strengths of TNG as an entry point, and the emotional resonance of Strange New Worlds. As Dan puts it, “Strange New Worlds has become probably one of my favorite… Star Trek series to date.” Finally, the duo celebrates the imminent release of Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles, praising Jeff Hays’ narration and Matt Dinniman’s worldbuilding while laughing about spoiler‑happy authors and cosplay chaos. A warm, energetic, fandom‑packed episode full of nostalgia, humor, and genuine love for genre storytelling.

  • Season 10, Episode 11 (April 12, 2026): Its a sad day in Star Trek

    Season 10, Episode 11 (April 12, 2026): Its a sad day in Star Trek
    2026/04/14
    In this episode, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan dive into a wide‑ranging mix of fandom news, art experiences, sci‑fi updates, and real‑world spaceflight excitement.

    The hosts open with a brief acknowledgment of the passing of Game of Thrones background actor Michael Patrick, reflecting on motor neuron diseases and their impact.

    From there, Dan shares his visit to The Art of the Brick LEGO exhibition in Toronto—highlighting Nathan Sawaya’s sculptures, the stunning LEGO recreations of classic art, and the unexpected crossover with the nearby immersive Monet experience. They compare immersive art installations, discuss how these exhibits blend technology and storytelling, and reminisce about the D&D interactive experience from last year.

    In sci‑fi news, the duo covers the latest from the Star Wars universe, including the shutdown of post‑sequel trilogy plans, the firm “no” on Mara Jade, and the ongoing success of the Maul series. They also touch on Doctor Who April Fool’s chaos, Big Finish productions, and the evolving legacy of various Doctors.

    Convention chatter includes early Fan Expo Canada guest announcements—featuring the Hobbits, Alan Ritchson, and Colin O’Donoghue.

    The tone shifts as they discuss the disappointing confirmation that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds sets are being dismantled. They reflect on the politics behind Paramount’s decisions, the loss of a beloved modern Trek series, and the hope that key set pieces (like Pike’s chair!) find a respectful home.

    The episode closes on a heartfelt high note: the emotional rollercoaster of following the Artemis II crew. KJ and Dan talk about the joy, humanity, and hope sparked by Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada’s own Jeremy Hansen as they completed their mission. From hijinks in space to splashdown nostalgia, the hosts reflect on how this moment rekindles the spirit of exploration.

    As always, they wrap with community links, upcoming schedule notes, and a reminder to join them again in two weeks.
