Reunions galore — Jessie T. Usher and Laz Alonso from “The Boys,” Catherine Bell and Chris Potter from “Good Witch,” and Thomas Ian Nicholas from “American Pie” and “Rookie of the Year” — collide with a special 40th anniversary celebration of “Big Trouble in Little China” featuring James Pax. But it’s not just about the A-list guests: cosplay runs wild, energy rivals a major sporting event, and the vibe is pure fandom. At its heart, it’s a community celebration — where strangers become allies, passions unite, and belonging feels as real as your favorite character’s catchphrase.
