Remember when the thought of being crammed into a convention center with 100,000 other people was something to get excited about and not a source of existential terror?

Ah, 2020.

The 2020 Denver Pop Culture Con may have been canceled, but Pop Culture Classroom has refused to go gentle into that good night.

Introducing PopStream, a brand-new weekly program from Pop Culture Classroom and Denver Pop Culture Con.

Each week, you can tune into a new episode including:

• PopStream: Comics! – Comics conversations from the comfort of your living room.
• The PopStream Workshop – Level up your creative skills with our monthly learning jams. Great for fans of all ages!
• PopStream: A/V Club – Binge-watchers, cinephiles, and gamers, connect with the titles you love.
• PopStream: DPCC Flashback – Relive some of the most educational, inspiring, and memorable moments from Denver Pop Culture Con (or experience them for the first time!)

Episode 1 will be an open conversation about Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s Umbrella Academy comics — and their mega-popular Netflix adaptation. Be a part of the conversation LIVE as professional comics creators — and Pop Culture Classroom instructors — Dion Harris and Terra Necessary join pop culture fans and me as we discuss the question: “Is the Umbrella Academy awesome — or overhyped?”
