CatBusRuss & @skiesoffortune.bsky.social do their best to promote “Trick ‘r Treat” as a #Halloween tradition. Remember to honor the traditions or face horrific and occasionally humorous consequences.

Russ recaps the last two days of #GalaxyConStLouis. Embrace the nerdiness of “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe”. @georgetakei.bsky.social makes it his anti-Trump platform. Talking shop with “The Clerks”. #Kermit providing “Muppet Treasure Island” commentary.

The @idigcrazyflicks.bsky.social “1986: RAD Movies or BAD Movies” comes to #GalaxyConStLouis. CatBusRuss hits the movie panels. ThePoeticCritic admires the #cosplay. Plus the unfairly maligned #Supergirl is reviewed.

CatBusRuss & the writer of the “Blood Orange” comic wonder what the cinematic career of #NeilMarshall should have been after watching the best horror film of the century not involving singing vampires, “The Descent”.

Warm up for season 10 of @ccinemapodcast.bsky.social by hearing Russ’s initial thoughts from a rewatch of “Cannibal Holocaust” Is the director of “Upstream Colors” monster? For fun horror, Russ talks up “Thir13en Ghosts” & “VFW”

CatBusRuss & ThePoeticCritic head to East Moline to discuss the copycat cinema of 1986, a time where direct-to-video was for the “educational” tapes at church. If you want to sell a cassette, it had to be a legit film. Or so they called “GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords”.

Can a competently directed #horror feature with some dark humor still be an absolute failure? #ZachCregger makes CatBusRuss answer the question with his ignorance of #ResidentEvil. For a fun #zombie movie without as much style, may Russ suggest “Cooties”?

Female-fronted action cinema with Ally. Dancing is action, so “Flashdance” is included. Get ready for the #Cregger #ResidentEvil by reviewing the first series of films. Russ also compared CG-animation from today with #FinalFantasy “The Spirits Within”

#ZachCregger puts his #horror reputation on the line. Russ explores if #ResidentEvil has been done right. Is it wiser to adapt or reimagine? How about sticking to the #videogame continuity like “Vendetta” & “Death Island”?

CatBusRuss is called up to be an expert about “The Transformers: The Movie” at the trauma bonding panel at #IndianaComicConvention. He also reviews a #cartoon that is 40 years younger with “Coyote vs. Acme”

CatBusRuss provides a TEDTalk to Missouri Comic Con 2026 about knock off cinema from 40 years ago. It was time before the direct-to-video market allowed Mom to say, “We have Texas Chainsaw 2” at home.

It would not be #SpookyMonth if ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠ did not make her annual villainy felt. She has never been big for slasher movies, so it is Kaiju season. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ explores her opinions on the late '70s "⁠Godzilla⁠" movies.

"⁠We're All Going to the World's Fair⁠" is a film that explores the effects that creepy pasta may have on the most impressionable among us, teenagers. Even the most cynical (⁠CatBus⁠) cannot deny this is an intriguing concept. "⁠Take 'Em To The Movies, Austin!⁠" brought this feature to ⁠Russ⁠'s attention.
