Plot Synopsis

FANGASM is a reality series that follows seven fanboys and fangirls, as they live together in Los Angeles while interning at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo, a massive convention in November that is a year-round business run by Lee, Regina Carpinelli (who guides the interns as their supervisor), and Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira Mistress of the Dark). This group lives and breathes all things science fiction, comic books, collectibles, cosplay, life-action role playing games, and pop culture, and now they get the chance to work their dream job while meeting iconic figures in the sci-fi genre. Now, they must contend with each others oversized personalities and conflicting passions, as they vie for opportunities within Lee's organization. The seven roommates are: Andrew, a 27-year-old Valdosta, GA native living in Los Angeles, who has always dreamed of being the Captain of the Starship Enterprise, but instead works for Enterprise Rent-A-Car; Salvtore, a 25-year-old from Amsterdam, NY, who is a huge fan of the heroes of the Marvel Universe and teaches kids how to create their own superheroes, while dressed like Iron Man; Kristen, a 23-year-old New Yorker, whose three passions in life are blogging geek culture, comics and fashion; Molly, a 24-year-old from Seattle, who, as a self-proclaimed fashionista and cosplay queen, blasts away nerd stereotypes by being incredibly social and fond of nightlife; Paul, a 22-year-old from Sacramento, who is a huge film buff with a massive collection of over 2,000 movies and is passionate about all things comic books, sci-fi and Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments; Mike, a 22-year-old New Yorker originally from Tampa, who's an active cosplayer and founded his own group called Team Avalanche, making amazing costumes and putting on shows across Florida; and Dani, a 26-year-old Burbank, CA native, who played a pirate at a Renaissance Pleasure Faire and tours the convention circuit with The Damsels of Dorkington, a comedy troupe. George Takei made a surprise visit on the series premiere, sharing laughs and insight on what it means to be a fan of the movies, TV shows, and stories that inspire us. Plus, one roommate was sincerely moved as he recounted how STAR TREK shaped his childhood and brought his family closer together.
