Season 15 of The Dragon Con Report launches with a look back at where it all began. In honor of Dragon Con’s 40th anniversary, Mike, Jen, and Channing are joined by longtime Dragon Con attendee Darin M. Bush, along with a bonus appearance from Marilyn Teague, to discuss what Dragon Con was like at its very first show and how it has grown and evolved over the past four decades. From early days of a much smaller convention footprint to the massive, multi-hotel fan experience Dragon Con is known for today, this episode explores how fandom, community, and the con itself have changed while still holding on to the spirit that made Dragon Con special from the start. Along the way, the conversation is filled with personal memories, historical insight, and a whole lot of love for a fan-run convention that continues to define what Dragon Con is all about. Whether you’re a decades-long attendee or gearing up for your first Dragon Con, this Season 15 premiere is the perfect way to celebrate forty years of cosplay, creativity, and community.

On this episode of Tales From Hollywoodland, the crew pays tribute to the incomparable Diane Keaton, celebrating the life, legacy, and enduring influence of one of Hollywood’s most beloved and original talents. From her breakthrough in Annie Hall to unforgettable work in The Godfather trilogy, Something’s Gotta Give, The First Wives Club, and so many more, Keaton’s performances captivated audiences and reshaped the possibilities for women in film. We revisit her iconic collaborations, her distinctive style, and the roles that made her a defining figure in movie history, all while honoring her recent passing on October 11, 2025. Join us for a thoughtful reflection on her career, cultural impact, and why Diane Keaton’s voice and screen presence will be remembered as a true Hollywood original. Join us as we reminisce about the movies, moments, and performances that gave these actors a second chance at stardom. It’s a nostalgic celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the magic of the silver screen — because in Hollywood, sometimes the greatest stories happen after the comeback. We want to hear from you!

Flopcast episode 717! Were you listening to the radio half a century ago? And was it ridiculous? We’re looking at a list of the Top 100 songs of 1976, and it sure seems that way. But it’s a fun mix of classic rock, disco, easy listening, disco, novelty songs, and a little more disco. There’s even a TV theme song on the list, and it just might involve a Sweathog or two. If you remember when the Bay City Rollers ruled the charts, this will take you back. Slip into your Starland Vocal Band concert t-shirt and enjoy. #disco #baycityrollers #discoduck #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Episode 717 complete show notes and links at www.flopcast.net!

The Police are back in the headlines—but not for the reasons fans might hope. A lawsuit involving the band members is nearing its conclusion, and this week Stephanie, Rob, and Alan dig into what we know about the case, unpacking the details of the suit and where each of the three musicians fits into it. That said, it’s not all legal drama. We also take a joyful detour through our favorite Police concert memories, argue the merits of beloved songs and albums, and fondly revisit the glory days of MTV, when the band seemed to be everywhere. To wrap things up, we catch up on what we’ve been listening to, watching, and reading lately—because the conversation never really stops. We love hearing from our listeners!

After the initial wave of Avengers film, people started wishing that Marvel had the Fantastic Four film rights, so that they could apply the same MCU formula to the first family in comics. Years later, Disney obtained those rights as part of their overall acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Fantastic Four: First Steps is the result. For this episode we dive deep into the story. We talk about the characters, the choices that were made in the depictions, and how we feel those resonate. We debate some of the story decisions and how well those worked for us. We discuss whether origin stories are necessary, the pros and cons of shorter films, and how we think that this movie will fit into the overall MCU storyline. Give it a listen and let us know what you think! This week’s Five-Minute Controversy asks what we think of Nintendo’s unasked for announcement that Peach and Mario are not a couple but just “very good friends”. This week Stephen, Michael, and Page join the cast. Show Notes:Nintendo says Peach and Mario are “just good friends” Like what you heard? Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/42cast.

Batman ’66 S2 Ep55 – Black Widow Strikes Again The Black Widow uses her cerebrum short-circuiting device to rob bank after bank in Gotham City. Batman and Robin soon catch up with her, but actually capturing the villainess proves harder than expected. Despite her nerve paralyzer spray, and two remote-control dummies that try to throw the Dynamic Duo off course, they finally make it inside the Black Widow’s lair. But soon after entering, they are trapped in a giant web with two deadly black widow spiders.

Episode 44: Observed Behaviour In Episode 44 of Have Coffee Will Travel, Shawn and Leah settle in to reflect, react, and observe what happens both onstage and off. To start, they revisit Popcorn Falls, the play discussed last episode, now officially wrapped. While both performances were strong, the experience wasn’t identical. The first night’s audience brought big energy and enthusiastic reactions. However, the second night felt quieter, and that shift mattered. As a result, the actors noticed the difference immediately, proving just how much an audience shapes a live performance. From there, the conversation widens into Leah’s theatre journey. She looks back on her performance history and the launch of her company, Let’s Put On A Show, which began in 2022. Popcorn Falls marked the second production under that banner, and importantly, it won’t be the last. Leah explains why theatre continues to matter so deeply to her. For her, it’s more than entertainment—it’s therapy, connection, and community all rolled into one. Meanwhile, Shawn flirts with the idea of stepping onstage himself. Although he worries about memorizing lines, Leah pushes back. Surprisingly, she says, people often remember far more than they expect once rehearsals begin. Next, things take a lighter turn with a round of “The Couple’s Quiz.” Shawn and Leah fire off roughly 15 questions to test how well they really know each other. Some answers come easily. Others? Not so much. After that, the focus shifts to Etsy. Leah’s shop continues to perform well, while Shawn admits January has been slower than hoped. Still, inspiration keeps flowing. Shawn’s brother Robin has been offering steady t-shirt design ideas, even while facing serious financial stress. Currently on the verge of eviction, Robin has a GoFundMe set up by his friend Tracy. Although the goal is $5,000, the campaign has only reached $265 so far. As always, this episode blends creativity, honesty, and real life—one observation at a time.

Flopcast episode 716! This is a short one, because here in Chickentown, we’re all a bit under the weather. (And the weather is not good. A massive snowstorm approaches, and we may be trapped in the studio until June. Please send coffee.) But we do have a quick concert report on The Monkee Men, an excellent Monkees tribute band we learned about from our friends at the Monkeeing Around podcast. This leads to a discussion of tribute bands in general, and we also announce the formation of Toy Soldiers, our new Martika tribute band. But that might be the medication talking. #monkeemen #monkees #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Episode 716 complete show notes and links at www.flopcast.net!
