This week, Kory's StocktonCon 2018 panel with comic artist/writer Howard Chaykin. Plus, details on where you can meet Kory, Adam, Albie, Philly and Dante in the next couple of weeks all over California! Who is Howard Chaykin? "Howard Chaykin is a longtime veteran of the comic book business, serving as an artist and writer for nearly every publisher of comics in the past four decades…and counting. He took the ’90s off to work on mostly unwatchable television, so he missed the money and dreck that was comics in that execrable decade. He is responsible, some might say culpable, for introducing a number of previously unexplored themes to comic books. If you're not hip to what that's supposed to mean, there's always Wikipedia." - Howard BONUS: Howard Chaykin Uncensored (the 'unbleeped' version of the panel, in it's entirety!)

In 1997, a boy wizard named Harry Potter was unleashed upon the non-magic world...or as he would call it, the Muggle World. It was a slow introduction to start, but when the book crossed the pond and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released in the United States in the summer of 1998, Pottermania became a magical force to be reckoned with. On this episode of The Boy Who Lived we follow the boy wizard Harry Potter from page to screen, and Albie's relationship with his father from near-redemption, to...well...you'll have to listen.

In the 1990s, a skinny, bespectacled 11 year old boy emerged from a lifetime of abuse and neglect to learn that he was the most anticipated wizard in generations. And in the process of creating her Wizarding World, a destitute divorcee and single parent named Joanne Rowling became one of the most powerful, influential, and wealthiest women in the world. Our cast member Albie would discover that world and he shares his very personal story of survival,  and how Harry Potter helped him through some very real challenges in the Muggle world.

Walt Disney loved the Monorail, so it was only fitting that Imagineers use the technology at Walt Disney World. It has served the property well, but in July of '09...something went terribly wrong with the Highway In The Sky, and a cast member lost his life. Also, the ugly cake castle, and Stitch's Great Escape are Things Disney Wishes You Would Forget.

The Magic Kingdom Resort Area at Walt Disney World is chock-full of Things Disney Wishes You Would Forget.

As the 20th century drew to a close, Disney was reflecting on a roller coaster of a decade. Throughout the 90s, every division had experienced both dizzying highs and discouraging lows. The theme parks started the 90s in a rut when Disneyland Paris flopped, but regained its footing when Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom proved a big hit. On the other hand, the animated feature division struck gold early in the decade when Beauty and the Beast, became the first ever animated feature nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, but hit a major rough patch in the mid 90s when controversial powerhouse Jeffrey Katzenberg was fired, and his new studio declared war on his former employer. By the time Tarzan was released in the summer of 1999, Michael Eisner had been the public face of the company for more than ten years. That was true when he worked in partnership with Frank Wells, when he ran the company solo after Wells’ death in 1994, and it would continue to be the case moving into the new millenium, when f
