In this week’s episode, Ash and Little Beard plow through a deluge of new trailers—including Fantastic Four: First Steps, Toxic Avenger, Thunderbolts, Predator: Badlands, and more. We rant about cosplay boot prices, con guest burnout, nostalgia overload, and why Galactus might need a zoning permit in Manhattan. We also serve up fresh geek news on Critical Role’s publishing empire, Star Wars: Starfighter with Ryan Gosling, and YouTube’s 20th birthday. Bonus: tales of stripper boots and the great White Castle Kansas conundrum.

This week on ConCast, Ash and Little Beard limp back from a whirlwind weekend at the Great Plains Renaissance Festival. From gale-force winds and collapsing pop-ups to soy sauce shots in the Pirate Power Hour, it was an event to remember… or partially blackout. They share tales of steampunk woes, generator dreams, new 3D printing tech, and why the new Supergirl movie might just slap. Plus, AI creates creepy-accurate videos of two tired Ren Faire dads, and they give a shoutout to Mac for leveling up Wag’s socials. Oh—and if you’re wondering what movie might actually kill a man in a theater, Minecraft’s got you covered.

In this episode of ConCast, Ash and Little Beard kick things off with a heartfelt tribute to Val Kilmer, diving into their favorite films and his unforgettable performances. From there, it’s a wild ride through geek culture—everything from dice hoarding and Star Trek model building to the chaos of AI-generated movies and Magic: The Gathering nostalgia. They rant about overpriced collectibles, reveal con plans (including wine slushies!), and debate whether B-movies are making a comeback in the AI age. It’s nerdy, it’s rowdy, and it’s pure ConCast energy.
