THE EPIC CONCLUSION
The road trip wraps up in spectacular fashion as my GalaxyCon Columbus adventure comes to a close — and this finale brings superheroes, comedy legends, and pop culture icons together on one stage.
Joining me:

Ross Marquand — Avengers: Endgame, X-Men ’97
Jack Dylan Grazer — the Shazam! films
Tim Kazurinsky — Saturday Night Live alum
Wayne Knight — Newman from Seinfeld

From the Marvel multiverse to DC’s mightiest mortal, from late-night sketch comedy to one of the most quotable sitcoms of all time — this episode has range.
It’s laughs. It’s fandom. It’s behind-the-scenes stories. It’s the grand finale of GalaxyCon Columbus.
