hi im sue me das for the inside scoop joining me is Bryant all senior editor for Cena thanks for being with us no problem so you are going to San Diego this week for comic-con yeah I'm going to a place that will be very sweaty and smelly but it'll be great you know comic-con over 200,000 people will descend on San Diego downtown San Diego for everything geek pop culture TV shows movies comic books okay animation it's it's every almost lost me by opening with the sweaty stuff that's I want to inform you what's the most important thing yeah yeah a version of what's going to happen so let's give people an idea because you've been going for a few years now um it's not just for people who are comic book fans and it's not just folks who were you know publishing comic books that are there it's much more than that yeah it started its roots come from it used to be a small comic book show but now it has become a mainstream event probably within the last five years where it's not just comic books we're talking about movies TV shows anything that touches kind of the sci-fi fantasy realm you know medieval times type things so Game of Thrones a popular series you'll see stuff like that at comic-con stuff like iron man marvel comics you'll see that stuff at comic-con but you also see kind of some of these new upcoming chosen now a lot of media companies are using as a launch pad to showcase and preview and try and generate buzz because all eyeballs are on it's not just kind of what they might used to call in the past a geek convention it's a mainstream convention okay not just for like Star Trek fans no not anymore but there's still plenty of them there okay so give us an idea of what you're excited about for this year because you have an idea of what you want to check out and make sure you don't miss yeah I think a lot of times what makes comic-con unique is it's really a convention that's made for fans for the consumer who love stuff so although you might have to wait in line for three or four hours or maybe even a day if you like Twilight yikes which I do know I don't haha I would never I would never I would never go to those but you know the vampire phenomenas is really huge but I'm just excited to see a lot of times it's also about collectibles kind of they have a lot of rare toys and collectibles and yes grown men's still collect toys but also a chance to sit at these panels and see cast members an opportune that you never get a chance to you're not blocked by media because someone like your me would have to wait in line the same amount of time as a fan something really make it successful there is no privileges that are afforded to press members unless you have a real exclusive in you're going to have to wait in line just like everyone else to cover these events so it's really one of those few conventions where the wall has been taken down and you really do get a lot more direct access than you ever could before the panels that you're going to this year targeted Game of Thrones for sure because now that the season is off everyone's like just dieting at anything they can write iron man 3 I definitely want to see also the hobbit peter jackson's movie the you know these are for use for films that are not coming out this year yeah typically about film comes out they show stuff that will come out in about a year or two even yeah so Batman is hot right now spider-man is hot we won't see anything like that at comic-con this is all stuff that we'll see in a couple years that's awesome yeah it's gonna be fun I mean I can't wait to Gaza and and why is this still irrelevant I mean you kind of told us but like why does it matter on the broader scale I think this is really the epicenter of pop culture right now you know you you have a lot of different things going on we've seen how comic book movies in sci-fi and kind of geek culture has started to take over mainstream culture and this is really where it starts so if everyone likes to get the information first to be on the end if you want to be on the end comic-con is one of those places to go so it's really where everything is is kind of popping a bubbling all right well I'm not going so I won't bring you back something exactly spider-man mask pack your deodorant if it's gonna be yes sweaty math yes yes it's a very 200,000 people very sweaty brian Tong thanks so much right for inside scoop I'm Sumi das thanks for watching
