If you’re a human being living in Western society, you fall into one of these categories:
First category: A geek, gamer or super-fan.
Second category: everyone else.
Being from either category is fine, there is no middle ground.
Strangely enough, humans from either category can enjoy COMIC CON: EPISODE IV: A FAN’S HOPE, opening tonight!
The documentary delves into the strange world of San Diego’s famous comic convention, or rather “Comic Conm” and it features stories and interview told from a multitude of perspectives. Big names like Stan Lee, Seth Rogen, Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and many more get to weigh in on their nerd-dom experiences, while the film also profiles some of the fans themselves.
Again, you don’t have to have a “thing” for conventions to enjoy this film. If anything, this film is more appealing to that second category of people who simply enjoy pop culture without having an extreme passion for it. Why? Because it explains, in great detail, the nature of the “fans’ obsession”: why, year after year, they attend a convention where their inner geek is out on display for everyone to see.
It’s a unique perspective of a culture that’s continually growing and expanding, year after year! Check out the trailer below…
