I have to admit. I was skeptical going into this, since I’m more team Fillion than team Tudyk. However, since this whole campaign started, I’ve been slowly heading toward the dark side. By dark side I mean team Tudyk, I’m not sure if that really translates into the proper metaphor. Maybe from the denim side to the khaki side? Now it feels like traveling pants, you know what, it doesn’t matter. I’m a fan of both now.
Con Man is a show we’ve been pumping from when it first did the IndieGoGo, so I was super excited to start watching this series, and it really did NOT disappoint. Short and sweet, these episodes run about 10-11 minutes a pop.
and WHO doesn’t love a good cameo?! ….Which is basically what this entire show is a collection of, which is probably why we love it so much.
I don’t want to give away plot or one-liners, because they’re both great and this show needs to sell so they can make more, but I will spoil the hell out of the cameos, so I’ll just go in awesome “List” format, without clickbait or having to click “next”. You’re welcome…. FYI if you don’t want to be spoiled at all. just stop reading and go buy it:
1. Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers)
2. Sean Astin (Hobbit, Rudy, Video Games: the Movie…..yeah VGTM one was one of mine [from Jeremy Snead], i had to throw it in there, it’s how we’re connected on IMDB)
3. Ari Stidham (Scorpion)
4. Wil Wheaton (Star Trek, the Internet)
5. Felicia Day (Supernatural, also, the Internet)
6. Mindy Sterling
Okay she’s not a cameo, she’s his convention booker, but damn she’s funny. Okay technically Felicia works for him too but I can’t tell if that’s going to be a permanent thing or if it was just for that convention. I’m thinking it’s just a cameo because she has to run the world with Wil over at Geek & Sundry, with the Nerdist and Sneaky Zebra under that legendary Legendary umbrella.
Check it out, buy the things, you won’t regret it. I’ll review more episodes soon!
