Flopcast 693: Dragon Con Preview Part 1 - We're Already Exhausted

Our Dragon Con coverage officially begins, and it might never end! Dragon Con is our favorite nerd event of the year, it's almost here, and this week we're looking through the guest list. Among those tentatively scheduled to appear are stars from Back to the Future, Daredevil, Buck Rogers, Star Trek, The Magicians... and even some actual Muppet performers. Also appearing will be many fine writers, artists, musicians, scientists, and humble podcasters, including a bunch of maniacs from right here on the ESO Network. Also: The 120 Minutes dance party! The return of Sci-Fi Explosion! The debut of HalloweenCon! And our weird idea for a gym teacher panel! Next week: More thrilling Dragon Con preview action! You might want to get to Atlanta and start standing in lines right now.

Show Notes

For the first time in our lives, we're looking forward to seeing gym teachers.

And here's the most out-there pairing I could come up with: Hale Appleman played the King of a fantasy realm...

...and so did Vincent D'Onofrio, in a show I never heard of until today that was based on the effing Wizard of Oz!
