SDCC 2016: How Much Did JC Spend?

Posted on August 2, 2016

Going to Comic-Con in San Diego is a commitment. It’s not just the travel, the hotels, the Lyfts and Ubers, the food, and the drinks (…oh so many drinks), it’s much more. The floor of SDCC is the ultimate test of maintaining your composure and measuring your self-restraint.

And many, if not all of us, fail. New vinyl collectibles, classic non-sports trading cards, prints, sketches, autographed memorabilia, comics, nostalgia filled unpackaged toys, trades, meet & greets are just the start of the ways that your wallet can bottom out within just a few hours if you aren’t careful.

I, like many, try to go down with a plan on what I will be purchasing. As a Comic-Con veteran of nine SDCC’s (eight of them being consecutive), what I look for in advance is the list of the exclusives. This gives a good baseline for what will most likely be purchased.

SDCC 2016: Loot Crate ‘Gallery of Heroes’ Exclusive Unboxing

Posted on July 29, 2016

This is the first of three (possibly four) recap videos from San Diego Comic-Con International 2016 from my trip this year. As it is my eighth year going as a part of The Flickcast, it has been an honor covering the convention in a variety of ways such as photo galleries, interviews, visual tours and unboxings. This year will be no different. Later this week, our Comic Con shopping haul video will release followed by our Field Trip video where we take you down to the Con floor and even some of the VIP parties.

Our first video kicks off with the Loot Crate Gallery of Heroes Convention Exclusive Crate. Founders of the monthly geek in a box phenomenon, Loot Crate has maintained the top spot in the subscription box community.

The Flickcast 328: Not the Comic-Con Special

Posted on July 22, 2016

After a brief vacation that, well, wasn’t really a vacation at all, we’re back. That’s right, it’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast.

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss Pokemon Go, The Night Of, the outing of Mr. Sulu and the season finale of Game of Thrones. Plus, the usual more. The boys also debut a brand new segment of the show that has something to do with beer. You’ll just have to listen.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the movie Real Genius and Joe’s pick of the Plex media server.

SDCC Flashback: Revisiting Our Favorite Con Stories

Posted on July 20, 2016

In just a few hours, almost 200,000 people will meet in San Diego, CA at the annual gathering of all things geek and pop culture. The Flickcast has gone every year since the site began in 2009 (with many of us having attended before that). To help jog our memories and get things started, WallE and I kicked things off at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles last week and talked about some of our favorite convention moments.

With the first story happening to Joe back in 1989 and featuring Stan Lee to WallE’s Hall H line nightmare to my encounter with Raptor Jesus (Yes, that’s a thing, watch the video), this trip down memory lane got everyone ready to experience the “grand daddy of them all” again.
