SFL S6E12 - Return of the living convention

Strong Female Leads

Hey there Leaders, New idea. Actual show notes... Strong Female Needs Debs: English women's football team Colleen: Sea of Tranquility Spoiler Alert News Debs: https://www.themarysue.com/harley-quinn-the-animated-series-season-3/ Colleen: https://variety.com/2022/tv/awards/emmys-nominations-list-2022-1235313788/ Debs: https://gizmodo.com/we-now-know-the-exact-crater-that-spat-out-a-famous-mar-1849170072 Main Feature - Conventions! Conventions are, perhaps inexplicably, back. Those of you who follow the Strong Female Leads twitter account will know that I was down at London Film & Comic Con this weekend and it was a BLAST but there have definitely been some changes since 2019! So we were thinking - what does the future hold for this fundamental geek space?

1. Difference between virtual and in person
2. Less merch now and feeling less specialised BUT ALSO a growth in independent operators
3. Is there still a space for virtual cons?
4. Lessons learned (or not) - news in the press about Joseph Quinn
5. Are you going to change your behaviour around conventions going forward?

Bonus Feature - Phase 4! Look, we bang on a lot about Marvel but perhaps you've lost track of all the telly and movies and life is short - is it worth catching up on? Can you just get the highlights? Spoilers
