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.

A 109-minute Bolivian coming-of-age story about a teenage midwife's daughter torn between ancient tradition and big-city dreams, filmed in the Quechua-speaking Andes with non-professional actors. - Per Kelly Hargraves

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”

Sam Staziak, a rookie cop with the Los Angeles Police Department, is also a 'scanner' (psionic). When a string of murders begins to decimate the police department, Sam faces sensory overload and possible insanity as he uses his powers to hunt the man responsible for the killings. - Per IMDb

Suggesting “Chuck Norris was a Sith Lord!!!” can bring a lot of attention. Russ was an impromptu panelist for the 80s’ #Transformers animated movie. Enjoys the bastardization of the top IPs at #BootlegSafari. Has Russ found the worst Paul WS film?

CatBusRuss needed a great day to kickoff #IndianaComicConvention after enduring “Deathstalker (1983)”. Thankfully the reps from the @raybradburycenter.bsky.social gave us four great panels. Fembots, Censorship, & more.

It’s been a busy weekend for CatBusRuss. He had to catch the first showing of #Mandalorian & #Grogu Thursday. Friday was the drive to #QuadCitiesComicCon and #Pokemon Concierge binge. And then two panels in East Moline.

“I Dig Crazy Flicks” is declaring May 18, 2026 “MORTAL MONDAY 2”. Why did Midway & #WBD abandon that promo? Russ reviews #MortalKombat2 and puts it up against “ #StreetFighter: The #Animated #Movie” to make the #podcast fit in to #ani-may.

If you’re a panelist at #MissouriComicCon, it’s you versus the #celebrities. And the #nerds of Springfield seem even more supportive of creatives. Wish we could take them all to #Hooters to celebrate.

CatBusRuss is joined by Rae and Ween from the B3 Podcast to discuss James Whale’s influential horror movies that created the Universal Monster franchise, “Frankenstein” and “The Invisible Man”. Our host also reviews the Tubi movie “Nanoshark”.

CatBusRuss approves of the first 21st century sequel to “Ghostbusters” and acknowledges the sound filmmaking of the first reboot. He is joined by Andrew Tiede to worship the original Ivan Reitman/Bill Murray trilogy: “Meatballs”, “Caddyshack”, and “Ghostbusters” (1984).

CatBusRuss finally watches the non-Tarantino sections of “Four Rooms” and plays six degrees of Kevin Bacon & Emily Blunt with “Wild Target”, “Detective Pikachu”, and “R.I.P.D.”.

CatBusRuss is joined by Veronica Vetter and ThePoeticCritic to discuss “This Is Spinal Tap”. It is the most influential mockumentary and immediately established the legitimacy of a directorial and comedic legend, Rob Reiner.

CatBusRuss explores what are perhaps the most influential movies Mark L Lester ever directed: the classic “Class of 1984” and the “Class of 1999” franchise. The Roger Corman influence is shown in White Snake exploitation tale “Groupie”.

CatBusRuss⁠ had a four-movie marathon of sub 100-minute features that he intended to kick off the last week of spooky month. Lets just say ⁠Ryan Coogler⁠'s vision changed that plan. And our host had promised to go back to the Grid while it was still in theaters.

A discussion about the “Saw” 1-8. A sister celebrating Disney’s failures. An opinion about a doc dedicated to cheap, licensed Halloween costumes.

CatBusRuss determines what the best feature he discovered in 2024, a showdown between “Coraline”, “Shredder Orpheus”, and “The 4:30 Movie”.

CatBusRuss determines what the best film he found in 2021 & 2022. Cronenberg vs. Bill & Ted vs. Animation.

A wise thing to do in 1988 was to ride on Sam Raimi's coattails. In steps ⁠Kevin Tenney⁠ with "⁠Night of the Demons⁠".

CatBusRuss makes a six-pack of movie reviews based around his favorite cinema concepts. “Hellboy (2019)”, “Paradise Hills”, “Class Action Park”, “Risky Business”, “Spiral: From the Book of Saw”, “Nocturne (2016)”.
