Episode 403 was a bit controversial for us. We have different takes on how it affected us.
This episode showed a while back in the US, but other places in the world are just now getting older episodes. This is also an episode we didn’t do before.
So, grab a cuppa whatever you love and join us to see if you agree with our varied POV! ☕️
The 2022 SDCC had a dazzling amazing array of panel and guests. I want to share this one from July 22, 2022, with you. Starring Keanu Reeves, Mr. Matrix, himself!
BRZRKR is the name of a new project between Keanue and BOOM! Studios, in partnership with Netflix, Random House, and BAIT. The panel was held in the iconic Hall H, the biggest venue at San Diego Comic-Con!
Moderator was Coy Jandreau (The Reel Rejects). Panel members included artist, show writer, President and executive producer, and editor-in-chief, co-editor-in-chief.
The original idea for BRZRKR came from Keanu, himself. He presented it to a team from Boom! Studios and he is now a co-writer.
Reeves was so enthusiastic about this project as the original idea was his. He had a vision of a character who could reach into someone’s chest! 😵💫
Although this sounds a bit gruesome, I think it is an interesting idea and who better to pull it off than Keanu!
He shared that there are multiple new BRZRKR projects, including new comic books which expand the story beyond the initial 12 issues of the original series. He loved how it felt when that first comic book issue was in his hand!
We were told that Netflix will be developing a feature BRZRKR film which should be released in 2023 or 2024. And, Random House has announced a new novel set in the BRZRKR universe. Lastly, an unnamed New York Times bestselling author will co-write the project with Keanu, with more details to be announced soon.
For full on fans, the world debut of BRZRKR apparel took place at San Diego Comic-Con, including a line of BRZRKR t-shirts and hoodies featuring new art from legendary comic book artist Tradd Moore.
The following is my screen shot of this amazing BRZRKR painting by artist, Ron Garney (first panel image – guy in blue golf shirt). Ron explained that he used the Shroud of Turin for inspiration when he created it.
Yippee! Everyone in Hall H was treated to a poster of this amazing artwork!🔥
Sorry the image was a bit wonky. It was taken from the jumbotron. 😜
Keanu was his delightful, humble, and accessible self. What a guy! 🤗
Greetings all! Have just returned after five days at SDCC and immediately went back to picking blueberries. Before too much water psses under the bridge, I want to share this wonderful “Shatner on Shatner” panel featuring guest star, Mr. William Shatner!
Captain Kirk is now 91 years old but most assuredly does not appear his age! Who could imagine he has lived for more than nine decades? And, after listening to him for nearly an hour, his mind remains as sharp as a tack!
The panel was hosted by Kevin Smith, film maker, actor, writer, producer, and quick witted funny guy. Very talented and kept the panel on their feet.
He introduced Captain William to the audience in Hall H – all 4,800 attendees – by suggesting his face should be on a pop culture Mt. Rushmore! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Having just been seated, Shatner shares some new projects and things to buy. He took time to put in a bit of advertising for Funko Pop:
Next, is irascible William’s response to Kevin’s question, is this his first time at SDCC?
This is his answer:
Kevin asked Mr. Shatner what was his first Comic Con? Shatner answered, in the 1970s in New York City. He was invited by some ladies who said the event would be in a hotel. The Captain refused at first until he found out there would be 15,000 people in attendance! 😉
(How time changes things – the 2022 SDCC had 150,000 attendees!) 😲
Before and after Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space flight on October 13, 2021. Shatner was pumped.
An audience member asked the question: what planet do you want to go to? Mr. Shatner told him this is the only planet, the one we live on. Take care of it.
He then shared his thoughts before becoming the oldest human to enter space. He watched a film of the people who went on the first Blue Origin flight. The people aboard spent their precious three minutes playing with weightlessness; some kid was throwing candies at Jeff Bezos’ rear.
Mr. Shatner then vowed not to waste his time with such silliness but to observe what he saw. I hope you watch this one because I found his thoughts especially profound. 🥰
Warning: Shatner and Kevin closed with a foul mouth competition. Who could out fdumb-ass the other. It was very funny, but foul. He also had some acerbic observations about Star Trek spinoffs! 😱
