Today, Justin, Darcy and Nate recap their experience at Fan Expo Canada 2026 and ask whether this year’s convention lived up to expectations.

Despite the disappointing floor experience, the convention still delivered some memorable panels. Justin shares highlights from X-Men: The Animated Series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, and an unpredictable appearance from Mark Hamill. Darcy and Nate also discuss panels for KPop Demon Hunters, the upcoming film Stuntman with Jay Baruchel, and “Fellowship Reunited,” celebrating 25 years of The Lord of the Rings with Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd.
