Back in May, we once again attended Animazement in Raleigh, NC because of course we did! Austin hosts this week, joined by Sully and Tori to recap the fun weekend full of panels, cosplay, autographed Funko Pop scalping, and spending too much money. If you were one of the extremely cool people who attended any of our panels, thanks for coming out! If you’d be inclined to let us know what you thought of them, feel free to shoot us an email and we’ll discuss it on the show (link below).
Check out our panel notes for the convention here (available soon).

Follow Austin on Bluesky, follow Tori on Bluesky, and follow Sully on Letterboxd.
Check out all our convention photos on Instagram!
