Another edition of the beloved old timey radio program, the Thrilling Adventure Hour, is coming around the corner (and their proceeds are, once again, going to benefit food banks across America, for which they’ve raised $50K already). If you’re still unfamiliar, a smashing cast reads a classic 1930s-40s style radio show that’s cleverly and hysterically written by Acker and Blacker.

The WorkJuice Players will all be in attendance including: Paul F. Tompkins, Paget Brewster, Busy Philipps, Joshua Malina, Janet Varney, Hal Lublin, Annie Savage, Craig Cackowski, Mark Gagliardi, Autumn Reeser, and Marc Evan Jackson. Also, the likes of Nathan Fillion, Keegan-Michael Key, and your favorite energy vampire Mark Proksch will be joining in this round of TAH.

This latest Thrilling Adventure Hour is set to stream on this Sat. May 23rd at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Tickets are only $6.30 (includes service fee) and you can and very much should buy tickets here.

Normally being drunk and rockets should never ever mix.

Matt Gourley from the fantastic podcast Superego, Drunk History, and Nathan Fillion make a great case for an exception to that rule.

Watch Gourley try to make his way through the story of famous rocket scientist Wernher Von Braun, including trying to say his name, while very intoxicated.

There’s no more appropriate place and time to unveil the trailer for a web series that’s about going to fan conventions than when the San Diego Comic-Con is happening.

So, Alan Tudyk has released the trailer for his amazingly crowdfunded web series Con Man that follows the life of a once great sci-fi TV star and the fan convention circuit that he travels around in years after the show was cancelled. 

From the looks of it, we’re thinking this could be The Comeback for the nerd world.

You can pre-order it now before its release of Vimeo on Demand on Sept. 30th.

(via Variety)

The cast of Henchmen already had Jane Krakowski, Craig Robinson, Will Sasso, and Rob Riggle.

As part of a growing trend to humanize cartoon villains, Henchmen will have the impressive cast of the aforementioned and Thomas Middleditch, Rosario Dawson, Alfred Molina, Nathan Fillion, and James Marsden.

Always an underdog and never starting as top dog, Middleditch stars as the newest member to an evil organization that falls into trouble by taking a weapon that he shouldn’t have.

Just from the description, we’re guessing that Henchmen probably be slightly less goofy than Minions (for starters, the Henchmen probably don’t speak gibberish). Let’s hope that it’ll please a wider age range of audiences as well.

$3.156 million and $4.42. million to be more precise.

As of yesterday, the Indiegogo campaign for the Super Troopers sequel finished with $4.42 million raised. That’s more than double than what they were initially going for.

In fact, going by how fast they raised the initial amount, they had made stretch goals that went all the way up to if $10 million were raised. They just stopped short of the $4.5 million goal of having live bears in the movie.

Earlier in the month, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion’s Con Man series raised an also very impressive $3.156 million after also racing to $2 million in record time.

Though it’s not the start of big projects raising millions via crowdfunding, this is certainly going to encourage way more of it.

Anyone think that the TV network executives of America would put any money behind a series that follows a former star of a sci-fi show in the great and bizarre world of fan conventions even with actual sci-fi stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk attached?

Well, the people of the Internet certainly is putting money down on that idea for Con Man.

All Tudyk and Fillion were looking for was $425K, which isn’t a modest amount when it comes to crowdfunding, but it’s probably a modest budget for they wanted to do. Little did they know that only a few days into their campaign that they would more than quadruple their goal with the money raised. 

As of this post, their Indiegogo campaign is at $1,827,086 and they have almost entire month to go before the campaign closes on Apr. 10th. 

Now, we all have to wonder how much more they’ll get to do with the extra dough. 

Also, in case you’re wondering, you should donate to this because this series sounds like it could be pretty great.

Nathan Fillion To Guest Star on ‘Community’

Along with bringing back John Oliver back for multiple episodes, Community is starting to put together a star studded cameo cast for this upcoming season with this news of Nathan Fillion coming on as a guest star.

Maybe, this is in a move to balance the exit of Donald Glover from the series. If so, we wonder who else they have in store.
