-Civil War: Team Tony or Cap?
-OT, PT, or ST
-Alien vs Predator vs Terminator?
-Flash or Superman in a race?

There’s nothing quite like getting into a lively debate with fellow fans or finding others who enjoy the same things. Experiencing the ups and downs of trivia night or gasping as a group at that heartbreaking scene in a movie is not the same without your people, without your squad. Scum and Villainy Rendezvous’ main goal is providing a place for the fandom community to come together with their squadron. Scum and Villainy truly is where fandom comes home.

Our friend Michael Tessler shares his favorite things about Scum & Villainy, and reveals what he’s looking most forward to at Scum and Villainy Rendezvous

What sorts of programming do you want to see most when we open the blast doors at Rendezvous?

What can we look forward to when we open in Burbank?

We visited with our new neighbor Be Kind Video and talked to Matt about community and what it’s like running a video store in 2026.

He shares amazing advice on how to find success, and his favorite parts of providing a space for people to connect.

What are some ways we could team up when Rendezvous opens?

09/01/2026

We 100% open and play with our toys! Even before we open our doors, when the construction crew heads home for weekend, Rendezvous becomes a playground for the imagination….

Research shows we don’t stop playing because we grow old. We may grow old differently because we stop playing. Adults who play and engage in creative pursuits tend to have:
-63% lower risk of Dementia
-61% lower risk of Alzheimer’s
-Lower perceived stress
-More positive emotions

That’s why we’re creating Rendezvous. It’s a place where the adult imagination can break out of its box and is safely allowed to explore creative play like singing, painting, role playing, cosplay, and more.

PS - Obviously we’re collectors too, you always buy one to play with and one to keep in the box 😝

“Your focus determines your reality” Qui-Gon Jinn

10 years ago when my wife Jen and I dreamed up Scum and Villainy, we walked downtown Burbank and talked about how it would be the perfect landing spot.

Fate took us to Hollywood, and I can’t imagine having launched Scum anywhere else… But the dream of downtown Burbank never went away.

Spend some time with my family and I as we secure the keys to the next dimension of Scum and Villainy: Rendezvous.

Scum & Villainy Hollywood - Reel Rejects Live!

Join us for Reel Rejects live as they discuss the most important pop culture issues of the day, the new partnership with Scum & Villainy and much more!

When: April 11, 2026
Time: 1 - 4 pm PT
Featuring: J.C. Reifenberg, Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau

We've secured a live events and recording partnership with Reel Rejects, one of YouTube's most beloved movie and pop culture channels, with over 1.4 million subscribers and more than 600 million lifetime views. Reel Rejects will host events, podcast recordings, livestreams, creator interviews, and community events at Rendezvous to a global audience.

"I’m really excited about this opportunity because it feels like such a natural fit for what Reel Rejects is all about. Scum & Villainy has this vibe where you walk in and it honestly feels like you’re stepping into a world you always wanted to step into, but in this really fun, grown-up way. There’s something about the atmosphere there that makes you feel welcome to be yourself, express what you love, and connect with other people who are on that same wavelength.

To me, that’s a huge part of the DNA of Reel Rejects. Yeah, we love the escapism of movies, shows, and these worlds, but just as important is the sense of communion they create. That feeling of being welcomed, being seen, and sharing that passion with others. So the idea of reel rejects being able to help
Expand that in any way is something we're genuinely excited for as we look forward to the next stage in Burbank."

First Look at Rendezvous

9th Birthday Celebration

Nine years ago, we opened a door to another world, and you walked through it. On April 6th, we're throwing the biggest birthday bash this side of the galaxy to celebrate nine years of Scum & Villainy Cantina, and you're invited to the party.
Whether you've been with us since night one or you've never stepped through the airlock, this is your night to raise a glass with the crew, the community, and the creators who make this place unlike anywhere else in the universe.

We didn't just build a bar, we built a home for every storyteller, cosplayer, dreamer, and misfit who ever needed a place where they belong. Come celebrate what we've built together, and get a glimpse of where we're headed next. The Fleet is assembling. Don't miss the launch and our celebration.

— J.C. & Jen
