Across space and time comes a panel over one million years in the making. In this episode we take a step back into time and observe a panel from a bygone age of maskless, in-person convention gathering as we discuss the tour de force that is The Bill & Ted saga. We talk about the comedic greatness of the first film, the quest to do something new of the second, and speculate on what we want to see in the third. Along the way we’ll talk about humor that doesn’t age well, historical antics, and just what the deal was with Bill & Ted as characters. We’ll also discuss the genius of casting George Carlin, time-twisted narratives, and why you never want to have the last presentation.
As this is a convention panel there is no 5-minute controversy this week.
This week Gary Mitchel, Felicity Kusinitz, John Hudgens, Chris Cummins, and Beth van Dusen join the cast.

Conventions are making a comeback, and we couldn’t be happier. In this episode we discuss conventions from big to small. What makes a small convention different from a larger convention? How does a fan run feel compared to a corporate con? Does the genre being covered change things significantly? What kinds of tips and tricks do we recommend for people fairly new to the con scene. We answer all that and more in this episode. 
The time has come for our second Comic Fliction segment as we talk about Snowpiercer. It’s a French comic book adapted by a Korean director and American writer, produced in Korea, and starring a multi-cultural cast. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Earth has frozen over, and the last remnants of humanity live in a train that must keep moving to keep the people inside warm. It’s a crazy ride as we talk about the unique direction, the acting, the symbolism, and what the ending means for the characters. Is it really the train to nowhere? You get all that plus Five Questions too!
