I Still Believe in Heroes

Our third guest episode is here! Jacquelyn Brazzale handles PR for ACE Comic Con and got to know Conny last year when Conny covered ACE Comic Con Midwest. We had a great time chatting everything from Star Wars to collecting to gatekeeping and there will hopefully be many more conversations to come! You can follow Jacquelyn on @J_Brazzale on Twitter.

Time for our second guest! Brianna Garcia is a well known artist, both for her fanart and her work with Disney, Nickelodeon and IDW. We had a blast talking to her, and you should really check out her work and give her a follow over on @BriannaCherry on Twitter!

Welcome to the first episode of our "A Conversation With"-series! Our first guest is our co-worker from Nerds and Beyond, photographer Mandi Lea! We cover her descent into fandom, how she got her start in photography, and what we're currently nerdy about. You can follow her on Twitter, @MandiLeaPhotos, to see her work!

We've got plenty of things to catch up on, so this is what we've been doing while we're away. Need some distraction? Look no further for recommendations, because that is pretty much all we talk about this time.

Hello~ This week two good friends - two best friends - who come from away are imperfect, but tries to make sure to not throw away their shot. Are you going to be in the room where it happens?

A long, long time ago, in the part of the galaxy that is right here, Conny and Em fell in love with Star Wars. In this episode they tackle episodes VII, VIII and IX. As usual we also get distracted by Taika Waititi, Em has fallen into a The Witcher-shaped hole, and Conny highly recommends Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez.

*WARNING* If you haven't watched the hit movie Knives Out, then this episode is not for you if you want to remain unspoiled. Knives Out blew both Conny and Em away, so of course they had to dedicate an entire episode to it. As per usual we also slip into other topics, so please enjoy our views on Brendon Urie, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Mark Hamill, and the potential of Stormpilot in the coming Star Wars. On top of all our gushing over Chris Evans, of course.

It's Chrisms! This week we talk about Christmas traditions in our families, as well as our favorite Christmas-y movies, episodes and music! As usual Em manages to sneak a bit of Critical Role in there, and Conny saves the segment about Christmas episodes from TV-shows by remembering about Doctor Who. Merry Chrysler!

HIGHLIGHTS!We're back! After a metric ton of struggle, we can finally present our Rockwood 2019 recap! We talk about how the weekend was over all, and we also offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the interviews we did. 

This week we talk about the wonderful event Rockwood Music Festival! Is it a convention? Is it a festival? How does it work? Sit back and enjoy as we walk you through how it works, what we're looking forward to this year and share some stories from previous events.

Welcome to the Disney movie you put on after watching all those scary movies during Spoopy Month! This week we talk classic animated Disney-movies, the ones we grew up with and our first encounter with major character death. As usual Em has a hard time staying on topic, so please enjoy the story about the reindeer. Also, there is a lot of yelling at the end of the episode because Conny bamboozles Em in the best of ways. Conny may or may not be finding her way into another trashcan; only time will tell.

This week we talk about something that makes us very happy - CONVENTIONS! We talk about meeting our faves, how conventions are MORE to us than just meeting our faves, and which faves are still on our convention bucket-list. Also; Em talks herself into happy crying over meeting Matthew Mercer, and Conny talks about her photo ops with Sebastian Stan.

Happy Halloween! Here's a little mid-week Halloween-treat for you. We tell some spooky stories to celebrate what is objectively the best holiday of the year. Hope we don't scare you too much!

There was an attempt to stay on topic ("Favorite Pop Culture Scary Stuff") and not freak ourselves out, but we still freaked ourselves out. This might mean we freak you out. Sorry. Maybe grab a buddy and turn some lights on again for this one. Conny is a skeptic and Em has Seen Stuff™. Please rate, review and subscribe, it would really help us out!

This week we creep ourselves out. Majorly. We're sorry if we creep you out as well. Remember; don't take shortcuts across the graveyard, pay for the work you hire people to do, and always, always look up. They don't like it when you look up.

This week, with more (wheeze) and red flags, we're delving into the dark realm of true crime. How did our usually fun-loving hosts get interested in the darker parts of humanity, and what are their favorite cases? Check out this week's episode to get the answers! 

Life continues to be a struggle... But this week we talk about video games! What were our first consoles? What are we playing right now? What coming games are we super excited about? Tune in to find out! Also, Em is nerdy about a hilarious thing, and Conny is nerdy about an upsetting, but incredibly important, thing.

Did you get your Hogwarts letter? Conny and Em didn't get theirs, but that doesn't stop them from talking about the magical world of Harry Potter. Which one is their favorite book? How do they feel about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? What Hogwarts houses do they belong to? Listen to this week's episode to find out!

Time to delve into music. Everything is a struggle, Em has a list, and Conny stands by German 90’s rap. Conny plots to scare Em next time they hang out, and we speculate on what we would sell if we had merch.

Conny and Emelie talk Marvel, who some of their faves are and have FEELINGS. Also, Conny loves murder and will someone please come talk about Dungeons and Dragons with Em?

Conny and Emelie introduce themselves and talk about how they got started in fandom. How did someone from the north of Sweden and someone from the south of Germany become friends? The answer is, of course, fandom.
