The much-anticipated Adult Swim Pirate Party on preview night was where Team FlickDirect's Izola and Jamie were right in the heart of things as the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) got underway. An exciting blend of pirate-themed fun, first looks, and one-of-a-kind experiences were promised at this SDCC highlight event.
Izola's Preview
Before the party started, Izola shared her excitement with fans in a short video:
"Hey everybody, Izola here with Flick Direct, and we are checking out the Adult Swim Party. It's actually a pirate party, so this should be a lot of fun. Be sure to follow Flick Direct to catch all of our coverage. We've got some Rick and Morty stuff, a seesaw, and a T-Rex just hanging out on a rock. Doesn't look very appropriate, but it's probably fine. Still pretty funny. So yeah, stay tuned and we'll show you some more."
