This Saturday's binge features Bad Buddy, a romantic comedy-drama from Thailand about a couple of young men who were destined to be mutual enemies even before they were born. Can they successfully navigate a loving relationship instead?

While not sexually explicit like some Thai dramas, this is still a straightforward BL (boys' love) story - not just slashy, not just bromantic. Viewers have multiple kissing scenes to dissect, discuss, and debate!

This Saturday's binge features movies from the Bollywood series known as the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe.

I'm told these movies have actual plots, but from the songvid I saw at DC Slash Con (an absolute banger, let me add), the plot is largely a convenient excuse for amazing action scenes that show off Bollywood superstars (such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan) and their incredible physiques.

(click on the image for a surprise songvid based on these movies!)

The binge begins at 2 p.m. Eastern time (US) and usually runs until 5 or 6 pm. Here's the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83088355896

This Saturday's binge is a fun anime with lots of interesting plot twists, Ace Attorney. Google says that it's Intellectual, Clever, and Exuberant. For some reason they don't mention that it's also Extremely Slashy! We've binged it before and people thoroughly enjoyed it, so we're doing it again!

This Saturday's binge: Doom Patrol! Or as IMDB says, "The adventures of an idealistic mad scientist and his field team of superpowered outcasts."

Or as other people I know would say: "OMG Matt Bomer!" "OMG Michelle Gomez!"

The first Saturday of the month is a party rather than a binge: there’s a panel followed by a movie!

All times are Eastern Time (US)

2:00 pm -3:00 pm Panel: Slash Through a Global Lens: Shipping Beyond the English-Speaking World

This panel was held at DC-Slash 2025, but it was at a time that many couldn't attend. We are therefore holding a new one. There are so many non-English Speaking fandoms. We will look at the rich, diverse world of slash fandom beyond the boundaries of English-speaking media and platforms. From Latin American telenovelas to Korean BL dramas, Chinese danmei novels, European series, anime, and more. Fans across the globe are creating transformative works, reinterpreting local and international media, and navigating unique cultural, political, and linguistic contexts. How do we access the fandoms and their works?

3:10 pm - The Librarian: The Quest for the Spear -- Hidden beneath the monolithic Metropolitan Public Library is a repository for mankind’s greatest secrets. From the Golden Fleece to the Ark of the Covenant, every enigma and artifact from every known and unknown civilization is protected from the forces of evil who, if given the chance, would use the priceless treasures for their nefarious plans. Only one man can keep them safe: The Librarian. This TV movie is the first of the three Librarian movies.

Special Multi-City Tatort Binge!

As Saturday, August 30 is an "extra" Saturday - the fifth Saturday of the month - we will have a special Tatort treat!

We'll be showing episodes of:

Tatort: München, featuring the grouchy but devoted Ivo Batic & Franz Leitmayr, who give off great old-married-couple vibes even when they're young.

Tatort: Saarbrücken, featuring the very pretty, very slashy, and VERY angsty Leo Hölzer & Adam Schürk.

Tatort: Schimanski, a blast from the 1980's featuring Horst Schimanski and his longsuffering partner Christian Thanner. This episode includes a special guest appearance by Miroslav Nemec, a.k.a. Ivo Batic from Tatort: München!

We will begin at 1:30 pm EDT and run until about 6:15 pm EDT,

The binge begins a little earlier than usual, at 1:30 pm Eastern time (US) and will run until about 6:15 pm Eastern time (US). Here's the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83088355896

An adorably sweet and surprisingly slashy anime! A spy needs to acquire a fake family for a mission and winds up with a wife - who he doesn't know is an assassin, and who doesn't know he's a spy - and child - who no one realizes is telepathic! Hijinks ensue.

Today's Binge on DC-Slash is Murderbot. Not a really slashy show, but lots of fun and amazing guest spots.

The link is available on our Discord Server. We will start at 2 p.m. EDT, 8 p.m. CEST

Murderbot played by Aleksandr Skaarsgaard with his head leaned against a wall.

It’s hard to believe that DC-Slash Con will already be underway next Friday!

If you haven’t seen it yet, the full schedule is now available on our website:
https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/programming/schedule

The schedule should automatically adjust to your local time zone. We tested it last night to make sure it’s working correctly. It's one schedule; no math required. Panels happen pretty much all day, and we’ve built in breaks every six hours to help you pace yourself. Some panels may occur while you're asleep (Sleep during a con? What?). That’s because we used the time zones and preferences you gave us during voting to shape the schedule as fairly as possible. We will be recording many of our panels. The exceptions are single fandom panels and 18+ panels.

If you haven’t joined the DC-Slash Discord yet, now is the perfect time. You can use this invite link, which is valid for the next seven days:
https://discord.gg/QyqNQj3W

If you don’t already have a Discord account and need help setting one up, please email us at concom@dcslash.org. Much of our discussion and some programming happen on Discord. All attendees are given the Con Attendee 2025 server role, which will unlock special channels next weekend. All those who have registered can be identified by the P.Lot Bunny graphic that should appear next to your username.

We’ll hold two tech check sessions today at 14:00 EDT and 18:30 EDT to help everyone get comfortable with the platform. Feel free to join whichever one works best for you. If you need the Zoom link, please contact concom@dcslash.org

More information will be coming your way as we get closer to opening day. Registration is still open, and we do have a few scholarships available. Please help us to spread the word. The wonder of a virtual con is that we have space to expand and include more fannish voices! The more attendees, the merrier.

slashmommy

The Schedule is PUBLIC. You can find it at https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/programming/schedule

The schedule will adapt to whatever time zone you are in! I tested it with a member of Concom who is 6 hours different from me in time zone so we could see that the same panel was showing up at different times. No more math to figure

out when your panel is going to be!

The con starts next Friday! Ack! So soon! Registration is still happening at https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/registration

Check it out!

Amedia puffs in belatedly with info on tomorrow's online binge watch ... (Possibly today's, depending on when you're seeing this message! Saturday the 12th, at any rate.)

Here is your latest con update.

Tomorrow, July 11th, is the last day to vote on the suggested panels. Voting helps us make sure that the panels you are interested in are scheduled for a time that you can attend. We do our best to accommodate as many people as possible. With luck, the schedule will be available early next week, depending on how the moderators are set. We will contact those who offered to moderate early next week. To vote, visit https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/programming.

The deadline for vidders submitting new or recent (made since last August) vids is the 14th. Information on our rules and the form to submit is available at https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/vidshow. We have some vids turned in already! It should be an interesting show. If you have a vid that is older that you'd like to submit for programming to show between TV shows and movies, there is a form on the same page to do that. You must be the vidder. We do not show vids without the Vidder's permission.

Our next Tech day is Saturday, the 19th, with sessions at 14:00 and 18:30 EDT. It is held on Zoom at https://bit.ly/DCS_Saturday. We will review Discord and Zoom and answer your questions about the convention.

If you are a dealer or creator interested in showing off your work, please remember to complete the form on https://www.dcslash.org/dc-slash-con/dealers-creators.

Please be sure to spread the word about the con on your social media, either by forwarding our messages or by posting about it yourself. The best part of a con is talking to other fans and the more the merrier!

Thanks, DCS Team
