Extra 002 - Sweets and Geeks Expo

Extra 002 - Sweets and Geeks Expo

Author: Madeline and Matthew Skelly May 16, 2025 Duration: 35:55
Maddie and Matt hit a new convention in the area - Local candy and fandom store Sweets and Geeks decided to throw an event over at Great Norther Mall! We discuss costumes, con life and malfunctions as we review the experience.

Picture a weekly movie night where the conversation spills over into the recording booth. That’s the heart of The Argo City Podcast, a chronicle of fandom explored through the unique lens of a father-daughter duo. One voice comes from a Gen Xer steeped in decades of genre history, the other from a Gen Zer navigating the current landscape of anime, comics, and blockbuster films. Their discussions start from shared experiences-like their regular film viewings or adventures at conventions-but often branch into fascinating territory, examining how their different generational perspectives shape their connection to the stories they love. You’ll hear them dissect a classic film’s legacy, debate the latest superhero series, or reminisce about a memorable con encounter, all with a blend of warmth, occasional disagreement, and genuine curiosity about each other’s viewpoints. This isn’t a formal review show; it’s an ongoing dialogue about what it means to be a fan, how tastes evolve, and why these narratives matter across generations. Tune in to this podcast for a surprisingly personal and insightful slice of fan life, where the analysis is as much about their relationship as it is about the movies and comics they adore.
