A missing Dragon Con recording turns into an unplanned Oops! All Dave episode, with Dave talking candidly about creativity, community, and finding the motivation to keep going. From his concerns about generative AI replacing human artists to post-election hopes and frustrations, Dave connects everyday pop culture to bigger questions about how we treat one another. He also opens up about his job search, creative burnout, and the challenges of building an audience on social media.
There’s plenty of monster-sized fun, too: Dave shares his enthusiasm for Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla Minus Zero, finally discovers the wonderfully strange Shin Godzilla, and weighs his next kaiju toy purchases. He also offers a spoiler-light take on Luc Besson’s Dracula, with a detour through Star Trek, streaming services, and the value of owning physical media. Looking ahead, Dave previews Retro Toy Con room sales, possible Needless Things toy-news livestreams, and the November 9 Audible Interlude livestream. At the heart of the episode is an invitation to celebrate Troublemaker’s final planned live screening on November 28 at Blackstrap Rock Hall in Gainesville—a send-off built around live music, chosen family, and showing people a good time.
