    #RewindWednesday: 'Mad God' with Gregory Carl
    May 22 2024

    Ninety For Chill's Guide to Shudder, "The Mudshow's" Gregory Gathmann needed five beers and someone to chat about Phil Tippett's magnum opus "Mad God", so he came to CatBusRuss. The two were impressed with this dialogue-free, stop-motion, animated feature that took 30 years to make, but what does it mean? Is it good cinema or merely superb visual art? These two podcasters try to make sense of this feature and perhaps even their lives.

  • Hail to the #Bmovie King: #RogerCorman with ThePoeticCritic

    Hail to the #Bmovie King: #RogerCorman with ThePoeticCritic
    May 15 2024
    CatBusRuss thought about calling the episode “Celebrating Roger Corman-I-May”, but then ThePoeticCritic corrected him by explaining he had left his studio, New World Pictures, by the time they first translated “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”. But if Roger Corman was not the producing legend who founded that distributor and AIP, would we even have anime in the States? Those cheap Streamline Pictures dubs had to find inspiration somewhere. Our host and his big sister talk about the influence that Corman had on independent cinema and how that led to the careers of at least two auteurs with Best Director Oscars (Ron Howard and James Cameron). With his recent passing, the two also discuss how cinema will now fair without the continuation of the opportunities he was providing to young filmmakers. Is “Resist the Disney machine” is all they can offer?

  • #RewindWednesday: DC (Animated) Movie Universe with Gregory Carl

    #RewindWednesday: DC (Animated) Movie Universe with Gregory Carl
    May 8 2024

    Gregory Carl and CatBusRuss team up like the "Snyder's Justice League" to provide an introduction into the world of DC Comics' Animated Features. The two bring up at least 20 of these films, and for the most part, at least one of them will recommend each movie. Your hosts will also express how they got into these features and if you can take the short cut of watching these instead of reading the books that they are based on.

    NinetyForChill wants to celebrate AniMAY right, but CatBusRuss does not have any episodes revolving around the subject that need to be re-released from the podcast's original PodBean feed. So, let's expand the definition and call it AniMAYtion. And let's make sure the rest of the month is dedicated to moving drawings. Be a guest on the podcast by offering an anime feature film or three to four episodes of a beloved series and at least 40 minutes on Zoom. Email russthebus07@gmail.com to get on the show. We are currently available to record for May 15's new episode at the following times:

    Wednesday, May 8, after 3 pm CDT.

    Thursday, May 9, after 4 pm CDT.

    Sunday, May 12, all day.

    CatBusRuss is not afraid of long nights, so he is willing to accommodate.

  • @C2E2 2024 Conclusion

    @C2E2 2024 Conclusion
    May 1 2024
    CatBusRuss is still exhausted from the trip to Chicago, but day three was worth the physical toll. He got to argue for one of his favorite “Alien” movies with Channel Awesome. The acting insights of Maya Hawke were quite impressive. But the biggest thrill may have been meeting James Pax. Lighting from “Big Trouble in Little China” had podcast advise. How can you top that?

  • @C2E2 2024: ThePoeticCritic, Hannibal, Rick and Morty

    @C2E2 2024: ThePoeticCritic, Hannibal, Rick and Morty
    Apr 28 2024
    CatBusRuss had a fascinating day at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. He got the slap in the face about how far behind he was on the Adult Swim classic, “Rick and Morty”, and the gut punch of how great “Hannibal” sounds when he went to the Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy panel. Then it got serious after hours with Nerdlesque and Cosplay Karaoke. It becomes more intense when ThePoeticCritic interjects herself on the pod.

  • C2E2 2024: Alien Day

    C2E2 2024: Alien Day
    Apr 27 2024
    CatBusRuss has arrived at C2E2, and he is surviving. He is doing his best to vacation, but like anything you plan out, it is more hustle than relaxation. It was a fun day because 4.26 is “Alien Day”. Tom Skerritt and Veronica Cartwright provided a great panel about the 45 year-old film. Celebration was the theme of the day as Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes showed their respect to their audience that owes their sense of humor to “Clerks” a movie that is celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

  • The Beekeeper (2024)

    The Beekeeper (2024)
    Apr 24 2024
    No laptop, no #rewindwednesday. CatBusRuss is coming at you with a new movie review for another movie that was released in the last year. This week, he watched Jason Statham in “The Beekeeper”. It is essentially a solo action hero flick for the Brit which yells at you about what they did wrong with “Expend4bles” and how capitalist are awful once they inevitably sell out. Both messages we can all get behind thanks to British actors heading to Boston for a paycheck.

  • “The Kill Room” + The Best & Worst of “Fast & Furious”

    “The Kill Room” + The Best & Worst of “Fast & Furious”
    Apr 17 2024
    CatBusRuss was left to explore what might entice an audience to his podcast. This led him to the recent Uma Thurman/Samuel L Jackson movie “The Kill Room” a comedy of errors about art dealing and money laundering. That maybe too indie a genre to investigate. To find out whether or not the “Fast & Furious” franchise met the podcast parameters is a concept for the masses.
