In honor of the upcoming 40th anniversary, we're starting a new series delving into some of the histories of the various cults of our beloved Dragon Con.

There are SO MANY different obsessions us con goers have become obsessed with, we couldn't keep them contained to just one episode!

The 2025 Dragon Con Report Episode Ten

Join Mike, Jen, and Channing as we sit down to reflect on Dragon Con 2025, sharing both the highlights and the hiccups from this year’s convention. From unforgettable events and standout moments to those small challenges every con-goer faces, we give an honest look back at our experiences.

But we’re not just looking back—we’re already planning ahead! We talk about prepping for Dragon Con 2026, what to expect when hotel booking season opens, and strategies to make sure you’re ready when reservations go live. Plus, we cover how attendees can rate their con experience through the official app and why your feedback matters for shaping future cons.

Flopcast episode 699! Our Dragon Con review finally concludes, just in time for us to get ready for next year’s Dragon Con. We’re looking at the last two days of the convention, including: Muppet talk with Muppet performers/designers Bill Barretta, Kevin Clash, Bonnie Erickson, and Dave Goelz! Actual trick-or-treating in the Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track room at Halloween Con! The science of Severance (it seems like a good idea)! Our British New Wave panel (with nary a Duran in sight, alas)! Our Hollywood Hits the Arcade panel (during which Joy Sticks was finally recognized as a cinematic masterpiece)! The Agatha All Along panel! Another wonderful Sci-Fi Explosion presentation, featuring Sico the Robot and drunk Ewoks! Another Roll-a-Panel, featuring the spectacular failure of our Ghost singalong! The Peacemaker panel! And our annual Dragon Con costume review, with Jaws costumes, Devo costumes, Caddyshack costumes, a Labyrinth Firey, a Bugaloo (!!!), and a whole lot of chickens. It was magnificent. See you next year, weird people!

Flopcast episode 698! Our coverage of Dragon Con (Atlanta’s massive Labor Day weekend nerd convention) continues! Thrill to every single weird thing we did on Friday and Saturday! Including: The Geek Girls Run! The Muppet Mayhem tournament! The return of the Music Video Book Club (during which Carly Simon hooked up with Sico the Robot)! Fantastic Four cartoons with Chris from Sci-Fi Explosion! The return of Classic Sci-Fi Court (during which Kevin defended a lost Justice League TV pilot)! ESO’s Misfits of Science Fiction TV 1985 presentation (basically an excuse to make Courteney Cox badge ribbons)! The Mayor’s Severance panel! Remy’s Jaws panel! Kevin’s Creature Commandos panel! Dave’s Batman Forever panel! Even more panels with the casts of The Magicians, Arrow, and the Muppets! A late night show by nerd-funk band Raspberry Pie! And, of course, much more. And we’re still not done! But next week we’ll wrap up the whole silly weekend. Hopefully.

Flopcast episode 697! Here we go with the first of three (yikes, let’s hope it’s just three) episodes reviewing everything we did at Dragon Con, the ultimate gathering of geeks over Labor Day weekend in Atlanta. Including: A visit to the Center for Puppetry Arts, where we found members of Emmet Otter’s Jug Band and the Riverbottom Nightmare Band! Turtles and Muscovy ducks at Piedmont Park! All our weird friends from the Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track! Our guided tour for new Dragon Con attendees, during which we were secretly recorded for nefarious purposes! Dangerous fake Oreos! Classic arcade games and Geek Singalongs with Kate from Strange Animals Podcast! And some Molly Ringwald-style antics at the 80s Prom and the 120 Minutes dance party! Okay, that sounds exhausting enough, and we’re just getting started. Come back next week as the silliness continues...
