Issue 598: Talking Comicpalooza, HTTYD, & Predator with Fred of Derf Designs

No Jong Lee today but that's ok because Michael is joined by a returning Fred of Derf Designs! Fred gives an update on how things are at Derf Designs, what he has planned for Comicpalooza, and more! Plus, the guys dive into a non-spoiler review of How to Train Your Dragon (2025) and a full spoiler review of Predator Killer of Killers. Also, in a totally not biased, sketchy, or rigged setup, the order is determined for how Michael, Jong, Chalice, and Brad will select during the ranking for the MCU Multiverse Film saga podcast at Comicpalooza. (Ok listen this looks sketchy but it's not I promise - MC)Follow Fred and all of his work with Derf Designs on Instagram/Threads @derfdesigns. Plus, if you're looking to get some cool new shirts, hoodies, pins, stickers, or hats then checkout Derf Designs' website, derfdesigns.com. This is not an ad, this is just me MC saying go checkout Fred's phenomenal work at Derf Designs - the design, quality, and artwork are all top tier and some of the best merch out there. You won't regret it. #NotAnAdJustSupportCoolLocalBusinessesComicast is podcasting live from Comicpalooza! This year's con happens Friday June 20th through Sunday June 22nd at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Jong and Michael along with Brad Gilmore and Chalice Williams will be live on the Podcast Pavilion stage on Saturday, June 21st at 3p. The group will be ranking of the MCU Multiverse Film Saga so everyone is bringing their own list then right? No, the group will be selecting/building the list live during the podcast. So once a film is selcted for a particular slot on the ranking it's locked into that spot. What could go wrong?
