The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival (MoCCA Fest) is this weekend here in NYC and Jimmy gives a preview of his plans. He talks about the set up, location, exhibitors, vibe, planned interviews and more. Speaking of interviews, he had planned one with cartoonist Caitlin Du at MoCCA but since they both live in NYC, they decided to meet up early to chat. A lovely talk about Caitlin's comics, her love of Canandien geese, mixing serious tones with humor, art style, moving from China to the US and more.

Jimmy jaunts down to his old hometown of Jacksonville, FL for a short mental health break. He meets up w/ childhood pals Ted and Edward along w/ Edward's son Evan for some podcasting. First, the 3 olds discuss access to nerd culture growing up in the 80s and compare it to growing up now. Evan talks about how he discovered his love of nerdy things and the ease of access to it all.  The main chat is a revisit to K-Pop Demon Hunters. Ted had never seen it. So Jimmy badgered him into watching it w/ him the night before the recording. Jimmy and Evan have seen it many many times and Edward a couple of times. They see if Ted likes it or not which ultimately will decide if they remain friends. ;) Ted gives his true feelings about it, what it was like watching it with Jimmy and if it lives up to the hype.  www.comicnewsinsider.com
