5/1/2024
Hello, Kinda Nerdy fans! In our latest episode, we had an absolute blast podcasting live from PopCon in Indianapolis. It was a special episode filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and of course, all things nerdy! Joined by Tia from Geek Vibes Nation, we celebrated her first in-person appearance on the podcast, which added an extra layer of excitement to our discussions. We kicked off the episode with a fun anecdote about my less-than-stellar singing encounter with John Barrowman, setting the stage for a day filled with fandom and excitement. The episode was packed with highlights from PopCon, including our interactions with stars like Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, and the actors from "Lord of the Rings." I shared a particularly memorable moment from the Andy Serkis panel, where he revealed the unexpected inspiration behind Gollum's voice—a cat having a hairball! We also delved into our fundraising efforts for Indie Neighborhood Cats, featuring exclusive "Lord of the Rings" art cards, and discussed the incredible array of activities available at PopCon, from gaming panels with the voices behind Red Dead Redemption and GTA V to unexpected delights like darts and wrestling. Our discussions were peppered with personal stories and reflections on how PopCon brings different fandoms together in a unique and inclusive way. We wrapped up the episode feeling grateful for the community, the shared passions, and the new memories we created.

Go puppy crazy with Best in Show and Pitch Perfect actor John Michael Higgins

12/5/2023
Calling in to talk with KJ about his fun show, Split Second on the Game Show Network, John Michael Higgins was more than happy to get sidetracked talking about puppies! In fact, he had one on his lap as we were talking! KJ TODAY is bringing you the positive vibes of pop culture, people to know and pets! Subscribe for the Vibe: youtube.com/kjtoday ABOUT JOHN MICHAEL HIGGINS: Best known for his hilarious, show-stealing performances in Christopher Guest's "Best in Show" (2000) and "A Mighty Wind" (2003), actor John Michael Higgins almost shot his career in the foot when he played David Letterman in the HBO docudrama, "The Late Shift" (1996), a behind-the-scenes look at the struggle between Letterman and rival Jay Leno (David Roebuck) for Johnny Carson's prized chair on "The Tonight Show." The real Letterman expressed his loathing of the movie in general and the actor's performance specifically, calling Higgins a "psychotic chimp." Letterman even bumped him from his late night talk show, "The Late Show with David Letterman" (CBS, 1993-2015), after inviting him on to be a guest. Actors of lesser caliber may have been stuck doing bit parts but Higgins' talent for both comedy and drama allowed him thrive on stage and screen as a dependable character actor in hit films like "Pitch Perfect" (2012) and co-starring on sitcoms such as the Tina Fey-created "Great News" (NBC 2017- ).
