The Future that an Under-Employed Pro-Wrestler Would Accept.

The most beloved science fiction cinema of the 1970s did not hold a positive outlook of what the future would be like. There is always a faction with all the power whose goal is to manipulate the poor masses and keep them dim. This is especially true when it comes to the United States, a society that worships sport stars instead of supporting artists. As a trained sports entertainer, CatBusRuss is just waiting for the day that art truly becomes a part of athletics. These features give our podcast host hope that it will someday come to be. (Maybe it is not art Russ hopes to be embraced by sport, but his nihilism.)
