LA Comic Con 2024 returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center from October 4-6, 2024. Tickets are currently on sale online. The following is the programming I am most interested in attending. The programs are being held at the L.A. Comic Con Main Stage.
Back To The Future (Rebroadcast) – 10:30 AM – 11:20 AM
Get ready to relive the magic of Back to the Future with a special rebroadcast of the live panel featuring the legendary Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Tom Wilson.
Buy Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy Blu-rayThis panel is being recorded at the convention the day before, but there is no way I would pay either $153.60 or $65.20 just to be in the same room with the celebrities for an hour. This is the first time I have heard of conventions charging folks an additional fee for panels and think it’s a terrible idea. Anyone who pays to attend is encouraging greedy, anti-fan behavior.
Rick and Morty with Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden & Spencer Grammer – 11:30 AM – 12:20 PM
Jump into the multiverse with the voices behind Rick and Morty! Join Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, and Spencer Grammer for an out-of-this-world panel as they share insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and their experiences bringing your favorite characters to life.
Buy Rick and Morty: Season 7 Blu-raySeason Seven saw the debut of new voice actors portraying the titular characters. I am curious to see the new actors in person and very curious to see how fans will respond to them.
What We Do in the Shadows with Harvey Guillén, Kayvan Novak and Kristen Schaal – 1:30 PM – 2:20 PM
Step into the eerie and hilarious world of What We Do in the Shadows with Harvey Guillén (Guillermo), Kayvan Novak (Nandor) and Kristen Schaal (The Guide)! Join these fan-favorite stars as they discuss the absurdities of vampire life, share behind-the-scenes antics, and reveal what it’s like to bring this dark comedy to life.
Buy What We Do In the Shadows: The Complete First Season DVDOne of the funniest TV shows currently airing, unlike The Bear, is heading into its final season. Got to see Schaal, Matt Berry, and Colin Robertson at San Diego Comic Con with Novak appearing through Zoom in character as Nandor, which was hysterical. Can’t wait to see what these three have in store.
Spotlight On: Ewan McGregor – 3:30 PM – 4:20 PM
Join us for an exclusive conversation with iconic actor Ewan McGregor, known for his legendary roles in Star Wars, Trainspotting, and Moulin Rouge!. Get an inside look at his career, behind-the-scenes stories, and what’s next for this fan-favorite star.
Buy Shallow Grave (The Criterion Collection) Blu-rayThe con’s website shows a Star Wars logjam as The Mandalorian with Giancarlo Esposito, Ming-Na Wen, Emily Swallow & Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is listed occurring at the same time and place. Hope the spotlight isn’t limited to his Obi-wan portrayals.
