Bonus: Twin Cities Con 2024 - Day 1: Vampire in Brooklyn (Park, MN)

CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic recap the first day of Twin Cities Con 2024 featuring the Ian McDiarmid panel.

CatBusRuss⁠ and ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠ have settled into Minneapolis to prepare for "⁠Ninety For Chill: The Podcast⁠" at ⁠Twin Cities Con⁠. Of course they are taking advantage of the weekend passes they were provided in exchange for the fried gold they are to deliver on Saturday, November 9.

ThePoeticCritic was content with the floor, a "What If...Doctor Who" panel, and karaoke. ⁠CatBus⁠ was scouting out other podcaster panels to prepare for his own. Be it a discussion of what makes a truly evil yet lovable villain, a Christian-themed nerd podcast being hijacked by the amateur Pokemon casters, our host thinks he has everything needed to be prepared for his time on stage.

But speaking of evil, Emperor Palpatine himself had a panel. ⁠Ian McDiarmid⁠ had a lot of fun talking about the joys of the stage and working with George Lucas. If anything was off limits, it was dealing with the current state of politics. It kind of makes you wish that Trump actually watched movies. We would have gotten to this hellscape a lot sooner and have the rebellion prepared.

If there was anything more sinister than Darth Sidious, it was the layout of Twin Cities Con. To not think about that, Russ has included his review of ⁠Wes Craven⁠'s "⁠Vampire in Brooklyn⁠" starring ⁠Eddie Murphy⁠. Lets hope that Saturday will be all sunshine and rainbows. Russ was once pro-wrestling's Sith Lord. The audience best be kind.
