11/19/2021 We've all gone to comiccons, right? But have you ever tried to run one of your own? Before you jump into something that huge, maybe you should watch this insider look at convention production. Husband and wife owners Mike Broder and Sandy Martin run Supercon, an annual three day pop culture convention that celebrates comic books, animation, cartoons, anime, video games, cosplay, fantasy, sci-fi, pop culture and all things geek. The largest event of its kind in South Florida as well as one of the biggest pop culture conventions in the United States, this fhe film shows what it's like to make it happen. Are you ready to keep 60,000 attendees happy despite theft, police involvement and bad pizza? How about running a cosplay wrestling league? Are you ready to be surrounded by temperamental comic book and pop culture fans for a weekend? Seriously, watch this movie before you make the call. This was a fun film and gives the opportunity to see all sides of the convention experience, from those that run it to those that attend it as guests to the fans that line up. Wherever you find yourself, you'll discover lots to identify with. If the pandemic has limited the conventions that you attend, this is a great way to get the experience in your home.

They are so abusive that within the time period of this being filmed and now, there have been 50+ people fired. They have caused employees to need therapy. They have gone out of their way to harm smaller shows, even making agreements only to break them once they gained their trust. The owners are abusive narcissists who go out of their way to hurt people in order to make themselves feel like they're better people than they are. Some moments of their insanity are shown in this film, but I know for a fact that there is double the amount of footage showing them berating everyone around them that was edited out. They should not be glorified, as it just feeds into their ego and leads to even more abuse. Just look at Glassdoor and you'll see how common this abuse is. See more Read all reviews
