Episode 265: "Glorious" Missouri Comic Con 2026: Day 2
CatBusRuss has made it back from Springfield, MO. How did the "1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match" hold up to the power of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Brent Spiner & Jonathan Frakes's panel? Spoiler: Riker is still "Number One".
But, there was an audience for Russ's final panel at Missouri Comic Con 2026. This includes a mother who let her son in Eric Cartman cosplay check it out solely for the punch and pie. It was a lesson for our host to realize how old he really is. After the mother and her kid left, he was the oldest person until the cosplayers who decided to sit in 15 minutes early for a panel about working with EVA foam arrived. The oldest person by 16 years. Yikes.
Thankfully, the aspiring cosplay masters were lively enough for some discussion about 1985 cinema. Is "The Breakfast Club" an action or adventure dramedy?
The people who came into wait for the prop panel also demonstrated the secondary problem with this comic convention. Every panel room's start time began at a different quarter of the hour. This means there is no time to get to other rooms. Here is to hoping that not many people needed to move to a different building to enjoy themselves.
As for the rest of the Con, CatBus was pretty much focused on giving away the rest of his popular custom pins from Sticker Mule. It is not like he was going to take the time to tell the con-goers how they were screwed up. Sadly, that means you get to hear about Sticker Mule's third attempt to tell our host to shut up about their bad customer service with $35 of credit instead of providing an apology.
The adventure of "I Dig Crazy Flicks" actually concluded in Rolla, MO. Our host had to stop there so that he could be present for the recording of the upcoming 4:20 Special on "Collateral Cinema". It is great that most Hampton Inns now let you access streaming services, so that you can watch "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" on their television instead of your iPad. As Russ waited for the edibles to kick in, he revisited "Monty Python's the Meaning of Life".
Russ provides an brief opinion of the last Python film. It ends up being appropriate that our host decided to attach a review for "Screen Drafts's" contributor Rebekah McKendry's "Glorious". This is another review meant for the spooky month of 2025, but "Sinners" and "Tron: Ares" bumped into the back catalogue of "Ninety For Chill".
It is a horror-comedy that Terry Gilliam would probably be proud of. Ryan Kwanten is a man devastated by the end of his last relationship who stops by a rest stop to let off steam. Once he tries to clean up in the bathroom, he is called upon by a god in the stall adjacent to his, speaking through a glory hole, voiced by JK Simmons. The call, to provide something through the hole to save the universe. This is a film that seems like it was meant for the concluding Python flick.
If you need to give something...a try a flavor from Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens. Our host is not a cookie fan, but this stuff taste great and leaves you feeling full quickly. Follow the link below to save 20% on your order and give the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough a try.
