#PlanetFunkCon may be a success just for getting a #briancohalloran autograph on a #Clerks “The Animated Series” 8x10 of “Who’s Driving? Oh no! Bear is Driving!” #KenForee & #QCFrightCon visitors were cool too.

Russ gets a complete history of magical Japanese #cats, a fun macroeconomic introduction via #starwars, proves his nerdy authority by successfully landing a last minute spot on an “Aliens” anniversary panel. A fun & productive #icc2026.

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.

CatBusRuss plays host to Kolin of “Trashpanda Podcast” and Andras from “Ta2squid Podcast” with the plan to chat about 2005’s “Doom”. Chaos soon reigns over the conversation as if “The Dungeonmaster” from 1984 was taking control.

CatBusRuss gets to ask The Horror Master what influences Argento’s films had on “Halloween”, watched Miike’s “Dead or Alive” to prep for @ccinemapodcast.bsky.social, and how the money gouging of #FanExpo constantly mocking nerds & geeks.

Springfield, MO cosplayers weigh in on what were action movies in 1985. Were “Back to the Future” & “The Breakfast Bunch” among them? Russ thinks not, but “The Goonies” had the #WWE connection. If only it was as mean as “Death Wish 3”.

CatBusRuss has a conversation with ThePoeticCritic about the current and future state of cinema. Because there should be movie reviews on a podcast, he went to #Peacock to watch #SuperMarioGalaxy & #Obsession.

CatBusRuss smashes a conversation about holiday cinema with ThePoeticCritic between reviews for sex/relationship dramas of the early ‘00s: Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin; Mark Ruffalo in “XX/XY”; and Ewan McGregor in “Young Adam”.

CatBusRuss & @lunagrayhorror.bsky.social discuss the most well regarded #British #horror #movies. Paganism, music, and Christopher Lee, get me a ticket to Summer Isle. Is it a musical? Is it asking you to pick religious sides?

CatBusRuss reviews Meat Loaf in “Stage Fright (2014), Jonathan Rhys Meyer as Joe Stummer, #TheRamone’s feature debut, Dewey Cox, and Val Kilmer’s pipes in “Top Secret”.

QCCC: Ninety for Chill versus Kirkwood Community College Anime Club CatBusRuss & ThePoeticCritic preach about the pros (and cons?) of ninety-minute movies at Quad Cities Comic Con…to Kirkwood Community College’s #Anime Club.

CatBus endures the #Tubi cut of “Scanner Cop 2”, bugs #JamesPax, memorabilia collector #MarkShort, @thecinemasnob.bsky.social, and Sam #FlashGordon Jones, and enjoys the vendors & after hours at QCFrightFest & PlanetFunkCon.

CatBusRuss & Rae from “B3 Podcast” determine if fun #horror films like “High Tension” & “Sleepaway Camp” are undone with silly, perhaps not appropriate #pride month twists. Would a crazy twist have saved “Morbius”

Vern from the “Cinema Recall” comes on the show to offer what he considers to be the most off-the-wall, sub 100-minute movie ever made, “Daisies”. It is a Czechoslovakian, new wave satire about exploiting those in power via feminine wiles.
