After 2 1/2 years, I’m pleased to have Jazz aka NerdyBlasianCosplays back on the podcast. We get to catch up before getting into all things fandom. “Would you like to rage with us?” – Jazz
We start off by talking about some recent Cosplay work that Jazz has done. From her Arizona Green Tea Princess Leia look (and how that came about), to her first Mandalorian armor – her PacMandalorian, and whether she’ll be doing more armor in the future. We also talk about her role in volunteering as a cosplayer. I quote “Why not do something for somebody else”.
Jazz also gives us a brief rundown on attending the most recent Rebel Scum Con. She talks to me about how it feels being a niche convention vs a multi-fandom convention, the vibes, and her positive experience with the con.
Then I jokingly say we’re getting into the Tales from the Dark Side of the Fandom, as we soap box and revisit the big three fandoms we talked about last time – Disney, Marvel and Star Wars. We hit topics including the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her feelings about Doomsday and X-Men 97. We reflect on Marvel burnout with discussion about the social media side of that burnout and the lack of supporting particular characters. Disney and Star Wars also catch some strays during our rants.
We talk also talk a bit about an upcoming cosplay for Jazz, Nutcracker Barbie. And we reflect on Once Upon A Time, before circling back to cosplay for a bit more on what else Jazz may be working on next year.
