PRESS & INTERVIEWS

On today’s episode, I got to sit down with someone who calls himself the OG Space Pirate — Uncle Joker — and learn about his own unique version of the Joker inspired by the world of Batman.

We talked about how he created the character, how One Piece changed the way people experience anime, and dropped some hot takes: including the debate that “there is no anime starter pack.”

But the biggest question remains… if Uncle Joker had to face Black Panther, would he stand a chance at winning Storm’s heart?

Does Zatanna deserve her own TV series or movie?

As one of DC’s most powerful yet underrated heroes, Zatanna has the magic, personality, and storytelling potential to lead her own project. From her incredible abilities to her rich comic book history, there’s so much that mainstream audiences have yet to discover.

We also reflected on how BlerdCon continues to bring anime fans, cosplayers, and the Black nerd community together through creativity, passion, and culture. From cosplay craftsmanship to anime debates, the energy was unmatched!

I had the chance to interview a 5-year BlerdCon veteran to talk about what makes BlerdCon such a special experience year after year. We talked about whether the convention still feels fresh after attending multiple times, what keeps drawing her back every year, and how the energy of the community continues to evolve.
