Episode 267: Dude, Where's My Ebertfest? Get Out, Ready or Not 2, Black Dynamite
Reality may be getting the best of CatBusRuss. The search for full-time employment has sprouted some leads, but it left our podcast host so exhausted, he may have lost a week. He was doing his best to have the energy to check out the final Ebertfest. Unfortunately, the focus of regaining that power led him to think Champaign's film festival was a week later.
Thankfully, parking was free the Friday when Russ arrived at the Virginia Theater to see the Academy Award Winning feature "Get Out". So it was not that much of a gut punch when he found all the lights to be out. He should have gone home to prepare for his early Saturday shift, but he had done his hair up, was smelling good, loaded himself up with "I Dig Crazy Flicks" buttons. It would be a wasted effort not to go to a cinema that was open.
This led CatBus to see "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" during its last weekend on the big screen. He and Michael Dubois both enjoyed the original "Ready or Not", so he was expecting a good time. It was just a weird day in the sense that he watched another African-American focused film, "Black Dynamite" to get in the right mind set to watch Jordan Peele's debut film.
Russ had always been hesitant about revisiting this Michael Jai White film because, when he first saw it, he thought it was perfect. Why risk staining those memories? Since our host was asking himself that, he decided to also muster up the courage to rewatch "Dude, Where's My Car?".
It was a movie where he may have left being the biggest fan of this 2000 flick after watching it with his classmates during their college days. All of them would tell you that was out of character for him. People do change, but does Russ really want to?
