Episode 57! Con season is upon us! Bryce and Bryan revved up slowly and gently to Wondercon 2025 by first visiting a pop up for Gundam and Gunpla, then the next week went to The Inland Empire Strikes Back!, a small but excellent Star Wars convention.

With the convention just days away, there's planning to do! What panels to see? Is there merch to be on the lookout for? When are we getting s'mores? Will Bryce somehow win ANOTHER raffle?

We go over the event schedule, some of the notable guests, and what we're looking forward to this year at Wondercon!

Sneaky Geek is talking about anime again, and this time it's not just pokemon. Join us on this episode of Sneaky Geek as we dive into the unique intersection of black culture and anime, especially through the lens of music. We're excited to chat with Dr. Marcus Norris, director of the South Side Symphony, about how black music has influenced popular anime series like City Hunter, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kids on the Slope, and Cowboy Bebop.

From the beats of City Pop to the impact of the Wu-Tang Clan, we explore the cultural fusion that brings these worlds together. It's a beautiful thing, influencing and building on each other. Plus, we discuss the iconic moments of Dragon Ball Z. Join us for insights, humor, and a celebration of inclusivity and cultural exchange.
