In this episode, Liz and Heather branch out to explore the world of Cosplay with our friends, Lanie and Jessica, who love to play dress up and do cosplay at different conventions, etc. Neither Heather not Liz participate in cosplay, so we wanted to start in 2016 exploring other areas of Geekery!

Lanie and Jessica explain to us the reason why they enjoy dressing up in costumes (both have a musical theater background) and what it takes to get into something like this, both financially and time-wise. We talk about their favorite parts of the processes and where they go with this. PS - Apparently, JoAnn's Fabrics is the place to be, and there should also be a bar there. Remember this idea for a future business empire.

Lanie hates the process of putting things together - it is a means to an end. Jessica loves sewing and putting them together. Both gals love wearing "secret" costumes - things that are a nod to their fandom, without blatantly stating it. Lanie also does "adulting costumes" when she wears work clothes.

Heather and Liz may need to consider this, but will probably need someone with some mad sewing skillz, since I don't think we have any. Skills, that is.

 

Follow us in the next episode where Jessica and Lanie join us again for a long talk about our Geek Crushes!! Also, be prepared in a couple of weeks for our next Book Club - Lamb by Christopher Moore.

ALSO - if you want costume help or to commission a costume, contact Jess at jessica.s.richards@gmail.com - She will let you know whether or not she can help and what she charges. Don't be a dick and ask for shit for free, yo! :)

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss DC Comics, as a counterpoint to our Marvel episode from 2015. This episode should be called DC - Don't Fuck it Up.

We talk all about the DC Comics movies, past, present, and current. Heather is a HUGE Batman fan, so she has been waiting to do this episode for a while.

We talk about Deadpool, Batman vs. Superman, and the appearance of Wonder Woman! We also talk about the upcoming Suicide Squad movie that will be coming out later this year.

We talk a bit about the lack of female characters in both the DC and Marvel universes, but we really don't see a Marvel counterpart to Wonder Woman.

Side note - DC Comics seems to be much darker and gritty and super rapey from time to time (I'm talking to you, Watchmen!). These are dark, but also fairly funny, so we are interested in seeing what comes forth.

Aquaman is also apparently getting his own movie. I'm interested in seeing whether or not he will be the pussy of the Justice League, like in the comics, or if he will actually be an interesting character.

Another side note: You suck, Megan Fox. We hate everything you are in. Always. Eat a cheeseburger, please. And cover yourself, for the love of dog!

DC is really doing great things in the realm of TV shows: Gotham, Supergirl, Arrow, etc. They surpass Marvel, who only has Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, both of which are fabulous.
