Captain’s bLog 082020.6 : How Ghostbusters Remains a Cultural Phenomenon

Mal Reynolds, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog On June 8th, 1984, a film was released that would forever change the face of modern day cinema and change the way comedies were made. This is a look at how even after 36 years, Ghostbusters still remains a cultural phenomenon. Ghostbusters was the brainchild of SNL alumni Dan Aykroyd and comedy film legend Harold Ramis. The film Ghostbusters was a deeply personal idea for Dan, having a background in paranormal investigation as well as family who were deeply rooted in occult mythology, this was a film that Dan has always considered his magnum...

Captain's bLog 252020.5 : Towel Day and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

Sally Marsh, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog  Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet who will be celebrating Towel Day on May 25th, as they do every year. Towel Day, as many Hoopy Froods know is a tribute to my favorite cult British comic, radio dramatist, amateur musician, tech geek, environmentalist, futurist, radical atheist, author, Douglas Adams.

Captain’s bLog 212020.4 : Fandom vs Covid-19

James Nickerson, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog The worst stereotype about nerds and geeks is that we are loners. That we sequester ourselves in homemade caves free of other people and the world’s problems. If you are reading this, then you know that simply isn’t true. But for once, we fans actually do find ourselves isolated due to Covid-19. It has been hard on everyone here in Vegas, and especially for the local geek and nerd communities.

Captain’s bLog 132020.4 : from the bridge of the USS Millennium Fandom

Alex Pusineri, Owner of MFB, at Your Fandom Service The original idea for a “Fandom Bar” occurred to me when I realized there were no real spot for fans like me to gather socially and have a drink at the same time.

A “fandom clubhouse” for...
