Is no one watching Con Man? From the mind and real-life experiences of Alan Tudyk at Sci-Fi cons, and filmed backstage at actual cons, this show is absolutely hilarious. It’s got a metric crap ton of guest stars and cameos, including Casper Van Diem as the bartender at ever single bar they go to and Tricia Helfer as the fangirl who looks like the hot cylon from the new BSG…no, the other one. The other one. Not that one. No, the other one. Anyway, it’s streaming on Vimeo. Check it out. ---

I’m going to binge on it this weekend. Not that it will take that long, but it’s the soonest I can free the time. The trailers have been hysterical. ---

Sounds a bit inspired by _Best Worst Movie_, which might be the best inside look at media cons ever made. Watching the subject ‘star’ slowly burn out on the fun is… enlightening.
