Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe and heading to Palmetto, Florida for another installment of our special pilot project series.  Special guest Candi joins us to discuss the pilot episode of TNT's Claws.Our discussion kicks off with the Candi/Jocelyn origin story, which began thanks to Twitter and the ill-fated Universal Fan Con.  We then get into the main discussion and share how we became acquainted with the TNT dark comedy, Claws.  We share the sh*t we liked about the pilot and call out a few questionable writing decisions that we did not like in an otherwise solid episode.As always, we get into the Qs that need some As, which includes an examination of some very questionable decisions by Roller.  We discuss nail shop rituals, whether Virginia can be trusted, and the fun fashions worn by the ladies.Claws is a cast of heavy hitters, so of course we shared our thoughts on the performances that grabbed our attention in the pilot.  And no episode of I'ma Need More Wine would be complete without getting a little thirsty.  We had lots of thoughts on who from the cast we would like to dig our claws into during some sexy time.As always, we love you for listening.  Find and follow Candi on Twitter here.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @MoreWinePod! Send longer feedback to morewinepod@gmail.com.  And a friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use lots of adult language.  Be sure to check out our prior episodes on The Walking Dead, Teen Wolf,  Euphoria, The Sopranos,  Orphan Black, Big Sky, Manifest, Pose, Bob's Burgers, and Black Ass Falcon and The Winter Soldier.  Until next time!Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/morewinepod)

Original broadcast date January 31, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/01/binary-system-podcast-162-convention-disaster-stories/ Can we just say for the record that if you've attended a convention and been bitterly disappointed, you have our sympathies. THAT BEING SAID, grab some popcorn, because in the wake of the Fyre Festival documentaries (which we adored) we're going to talk about a bunch more conventions that imploded due to inexperience, egos, financial shenanigans, downright mental incompetence, or all of the above. (We don't know why we love Convention Disaster Stories, but we really, really do.) Listen in as we go over what we know about TanaCon, Dashcon, Nerdcon, RainFurrest, and Universal FanCon, not to mention a bunch of geeking out about Fyre Festival because holy cow that crapfest makes for a great story. SPOILER WARNING for Better Call Saul at the 5:53 mark! This week's outro music is a clip from If This Were An Actual Emergency by TeknoAXE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGYsrCNb6uM&index=2&list=LLTLISidXZNOcw-O8EN9m4EA&t=0s If you're wanting even more Fyre Festival content, the Fyre Festival episode of the Swindled podcast (which came out two months before the documentaries) is very fun, and the intro about a disastrous Christmas Festival is a nice bonus. http://swindledpodcast.com/podcasts/season-2/episode-04-the-fyre-festival/

Some of the things we touched base on included: * recent updates on the insanity related to the Universal FanCon cancellation * Kanye West's latest PR antics (from the entire TMZ "slavery is a choice" debacle, Twitter political foolery, his lazy contrarianism with "free thought", etc.), his playing a VERY dangerous game with these latest moves and the various kinds of blowback * Bill Cosby finally being found guilty in a court of law for indecent assault * the aspect that various celebrities on multiple levels play on one's empathy with a community - based on race, cultural commonalities, etc. - to keep doing f*ckery with various ways of behavior on small and large levels so that they can hold onto fame, get sales, etc. * the sexism involved with how some celebrities can get away with certain behaviors and others cannot * how lack of historical context - distant past to recent - with how to view the world & minimal desire to learn on one's own is VERY dangerous * the disturbing amount of folks can't admit that their favorite famous folks are human and f*ck up, no matter how great their art, philosophies, etc. are to the point of defending EVERYTHING they do to the point of idolatry (ex. Black folks literally debating slavery and how folks could've gotten out of it due to what Kanye West said) * how folks felt about the Childish Gambino "This Is America" music video and song * various TV folks have watched lately (including CW's "Black Lightening") * various news stories of note (including the young Black ladies who entered a NASA contest and got racists mad online; the Native American students who were discriminated against at Colorado State University during a college tour and then some) * our mini-reviews of Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War" (full of spoilers) * And more!

You'd think after Universal FanCon spectacularly crashed and burned, co-founders Robert Butler and Jamie Broadnax would keep a low profile and not say anything. Particularly since every time they speak on the issue, they make it worse. You'd probably think that because you have the intelligence to know that the more you speak the more you make yourself look bad. You probably also have an ounce of shame that's apparently completely absent from anyone involved with ScamCon. Late Monday afternoon, Vulture posted this piece The Story Behind FanCon's Controversial Collapse and it makes everyone involved look even worse.  First there's Butler inexplicably blaming a "lack of support" from the blerd community as the cause of the collapse and not the fact that he used 80% of the Kickstarter funds as a deposit for the Baltimore Convention Center. Then there's Jamie claiming she's the one who informed the hotels that they couldn't pay their $70,000 bill even though she previously claimed she had no idea how or why the hotels canceled reservations. It quickly becomes clear that Universal FanCon was all about rubbing elbows with celebrities and not building and serving the community. Listen as Kriss and Phenom break down the audacity of the claims in the article. http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/6568488

This week, we welcome Jamie Broadnax, creator of the Black Girl Nerds online community, website, and podcast. We chat about geek icons, the various meanings of fanboy and fangirl, representation in Star Wars, Universal Fan Con (a brand-new convention that celebrates the power of inclusion and representation), and politics. Sorry about that. I know we try to avoid politics on this show, but the current political climate has made that increasingly difficult. So, among other things, we touch on how we can balance our passions for aspects of pop culture with the current state of the country.

We can agree that 2016 may have been a rough year for us all. But for all those low points we endured, there has been some equally high points as well. Sterling, Kortney and Stephanie take a look at a few of the greater, happier moments in the past year of Black Excellence from the world's stage to personal achievements and a good chunk of everything in between. Instead of a regular yearly rundown, we choose to celebrate only the positive moments, movements and memories of 2016. Editors note: There were quite a few people we forgot to acknowledge that had an impact on us all personally, but we want to give a huge shout out to BGN creator Jamie Broadnax!
