A veritable whirlwind of geekery stormed through the City of Brotherly Love at the beginning of June, and its name was Wizard World. Our own mild mannered reporter, Rob "Tek" Piontek, was on hand to bask in the warm, glowing, warming glow that is the convention celebrating popular culture, and we Fridge Stuffers discuss it all!  From a collection of legendary Captains to the thunderous cheers for a Norse god, we break down the weekend (with audio clips!) to all of its exciting bits -- including a terrible sounding drink that's (allegedly) better than the sum of its parts. Dwight Tejano, Amy Imhoff, and Sean Sorensen join Tek to talk Wizard World, and are not even a little jealous that he was the only one able to go.  Nope.  Not even a little. And make sure you check out the rest of our coverage from Wizard World, including the panel transcripts, interviews, and more! Couldn't quite make out the audio clips in the episode?

Captain America, Iron Man, and co. are having a big year, not the least of which includes the biggest domestic opening weekend in US history.  After grossing $700+ million dollars (as of today; it was "only" $550 million at time of recording), Marvel's Mightiest Heroes have cemented their place in the pantheon of movie history. ...and, quite frankly, it was well deserved. Dwight Tejano, Sean Sorensen, and Rob "Tek" Piontek assemble to talk about the incredible Joss Whedon flick, The Avengers: what we liked, what we didn't, where it's going, and why the Hulk stole every scene he was in.  We also discuss The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the animated series on Disney XD, and how it ties into the ever profitable film franchise. Get ready, true believers!  It's the Fridgecast, episode 12: Avengers Assemble!

Ah, the summer winds down, and so do our schedules. After a whirlwind summer, Amy Mayrhofer, Rob "Tek" Piontek, and Dwight Tejano come together to recount and to regale about the biggest conventions they attended in the past month. Dwight (as I'm sure you know, since you've been keeping up with the blog, right?!?) takes a retrospective look at the experiences from San Diego Comic Con International 2011. Keeping their Red Shirts safely tucked away, Amy and Tek reveal anecdotes about their recent jaunt in Vegas for their first time at Creation Entertainment's Star Trek Convention. Who was the person that made both Kevin's and Dwight's highlight reels from SDCC? Why did Amy, a convention veteran, say that this Star Trek Convention was the best convention she's ever attended? Find out the answer to these questions and more, as the crew takes a look back at the summer and prepares for the next convention ahead (NYCC!)
