Go To Hell Podcast tag teams include:
Disclosure - Is this the year for UFOs?
We’re spending research time with “The Illuminati Watcher” Isaac Weishaupt to prep for this panel. We’re expanding our minds with what the f**k is ACTUALLY going on with UFO disclosure.
Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord
Maul, our beloved. Moderated by Big Shiny Robot’s Bryan Young who has freelanced for Star Wars Insider and the official Star Wars blog. This panel will take us on a journey exploring why Maul is turning out to be one of Star Wars’ most complicated and in our hearts beloved characters.
Spy Games & Superpowers: The Cold War’s Shadow on Comic Book History
This panel has been Chelsy’s love child for years, and it’s finally getting its moment on the panel floor. We’re joined by friends of the podcast Luke Hunsaker and Andrew Malin who are comic book creators, authors, artists, and teachers plus me, the hammer and sickle. It’s truly one of the most stacked panels of the convention as we look at America’s history of propaganda through the lens of comics, how some of your favorite characters or storylines are products of McCarthyism, and what the Red Scare in comics looks like today.
I'll also be moderating "31 Flavors of Horror," where we’ll dive into different eras of horror and how real world events shaped the genres and subgenres born from them. I'm joined by an incredible lineup of genre creators:
• Kiersten White: Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Star Wars: Padawan.
• Lynette Eklund: Renowned special effects makeup artist and one of Hollywood’s premier female "monster-makers." Her legendary credits include A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child and Beetlejuice, with her most recent work featured in Casper Kelly’s Buddy (2026).
• Linda Hamilton: Historian and author whose book, The Fourth Wife, was praised by CrimeReads for "exploring religious patriarchy through gothic horror."
• Seanan McGuire: Member of the Horror Writers Association, author of the sci-fi horror novel Alien: Echo, and writer for Marvel's Spider-Gwen series (2018–2020).
Closing Out the Con:
I’m closing out the con with a panel called The Unsung Female Heroes of Hollywood alongside another friend of the pod, Mark Middlemas. We’re highlighting the ultimate Hollywood divas who shaped the genre from behind the scenes and on screen, including must-know icons like Millicent Patrick and Alma "Lucy" Reville.
