Sunday

  • 11 AM - Raising 80s Kids in a 2020s World: From VHS to YouTube
    • Join Mombierella for a fun, living room chat about the "gift" of raising a family in an 80s analog bubble! As a child of the 80s/90s, I've kept the VCRs humming and the cassettes spinning to show my kids that you don't need high-tech to have high-level fun. I'll share how these retro roots inspired my journey as a content creator and invite you to join the conversation. Let's talk about the tech we refuse to give up, the movies we "force" our kids to watch, and how we can all pass that old-school magic down to the next generation! 
  • 12 PM - Um, Actually with Stina Glitters
    • Inspired by the hilarious game show Um, Actually from YouTube and Dropout TV, this fan-run trivia showdown puts nerdy knowledge to the test!  Contestants will face off against wildly incorrect statements about fandoms, games, movies, and more — and only the sharpest minds will catch what's wrong. Watch as our cosplay guests go head-to-head in a high-stakes game of fact-checking and friendly pedantry. Think you know your stuff? You’ll be cheering them on as they correct twisted trivia — but remember, the correction must start with “Um, actually…” or it doesn’t count!

    • Join the original Resident Evil FMV actors as they discuss working on the classic PS1 game and more!
