Two Degrees of Kevin Bacon…

The Con Men are back, rolling straight into spooky season with the kind of warm chaos only Adrian and Dan can conjure. This week we hit everything from kids leveling up into double digits to the newest Fantastic Four (the “fourth first one”) and why it might secretly be the best FF movie yet — which, yeah, is kind of a low bar. We also dive into Thunderbolts, convention adventures, and Adrian’s surprisingly wholesome review of the new Toxic Avenger remake. Spoilers: it’s gloriously messy in exactly the way you hope.Dan also shares stories from working Missouri Anime Fest/Horror Con, including handling Ghostface himself, Lee Waddell, witnessing playful celeb rivalries, and getting starstruck by sci-fi royalty. We wrap with Halloween talk, candy debates, Faces of Death nostalgia, and the eternal peanut-butter-and-chocolate feud. As always, it’s unfiltered nerd talk, dad jokes, and the kind of Con-life storytelling that reminds us why we hit record in the first place. Come hang out, catch the full episode, and tell us your favorite Halloween candy.
