International Object Podcast 79: WresFest

This week, Richard H Thomas and K Sawyer Paul talk about Wrestlemania as an emergent arts festival, with third-party hangers-on like Wrestlecon and ROH performing shows the same weekend in the same vicinity. They compare Wrestlemania to other arts and film festivals and detail the similarities and differences. Finally, they discuss the Wrestlemania 29 set, just who might climb the fake Empire State Building, and whether or not WWE can continue their stadium tour around the US indefinitely.
