I’m enjoying my September Challenge (see post from September 1st). I’ve been doing some writing, I’ve actually started using Tiktok, I’m about 60% through Lego Hobbit…
I didn’t need two major companies announcing fan shows. I’m busy this month, damn it!
Okay, let’s break this down.
There are two major events being geared towards fans of two different companies. Both enternainment companies. Both of whom I’m currently watching show for.
One of the is “Fox TV Fan Hub,” which will air for four hours on September 15th, starting at 3PM PST. Apparently it’s going to be jam packed with previews and sneak peeks of some of the shows that are currently airing on Fox, including my current favorites 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star. Speaking of Lone Star, one of the stars of the show, Ronen Rubinstein will be playing host, hosting conversations with fan favorite stars from their shows.
Because I’m me, I of course volunteered to watch the whole event, taking notes on any of the shows that my friends over on Discord are currently watching (of course, my focus is my firefighting shows). I also was lucky enough win one of the prize packs for signing up early enough, so I’ll have that breakdown (likely on TikTok) later on.
I’m actually looking forward to this event! Four hours is a good deal of time. If it’s split evenly amongst the shows, each show should get to shine for about twenty minutes, but of course this is up in the air. They haven’t released a schedule as of yet.
The other event that I’m going to be watching is called “TUDUM,” hosted by Netflix. This is taking place on September 25th, started at 9AM PST, though the preshow starts at like 5AM (which I will not be watching). This is the event I’m more hesitant for.
It’s scheduled to be a three hour event, which I would be happy about, except for two major reasons. The Old Guard fandom got burned badly by Geeked Week (also hosted by Netflix earlier this year), even though it had a presence in the original press release and end-of-show sizzle reel. The other thing is that yes, three hours is a long time, but there are over 70 properties currently set to have a moment at the show. If everything gets the same amount of time, that’s approximately two and a half minutes per property. However, which what I know about Netflix, they’re going to push certain properties, which translates to Stranger Things and The Witcher.
I’m absolutely going to watch, because I’m a glutton for punishment, and I’m here to represent The Old Guard in any way I can. Heck, I’m one of several people on Twitter still badgering Netflix about the film on a semi-regular basis.
All in all, it’s not like I needed to take part in both of these events, but here I am. The countdown begins.
Until next time!
