Episode 276: QC Fright Con & Planet Funk Con 2026 vs. Scanner Cop 2
CatBusRuss is worn out. He thought it was going to be a chore attending the panel-lacking Planet Funk Con & QC Fright Con for Sunday, but he has to put in the time to promote "I Dig Crazy Flicks", even if he has to wake up at 4:10 am to impress at his new full-time job for the next couple of weeks. Attending the last day allowed him to get his steps in and check out a James Pax panel. If only they had turned up the mics loud enough for him to get the attention OG Raiden deserved over the crowd wandering the primary convention.
As for Saturday, the only thing hurting was the wallet. But he was able to get an autographed Funko Pop! from Brian O'Halloran and some fun face-to-face time with Brad "Cinema Snob" Jones and Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones. If he felt any shame when talking to the "Saviour of the Universe", its that he did not smoke as much pot as Seth MacFarlane did growing up and watching the IP George Lucas could not obtain. Not being just like the "Ted" creator may have cost him a potential podcast guest.
Russ may have tried to make up for his lack of debauchery by attending all the after hours event at the con. Friday was checking out video game music cover band Big Head Mode. Saturday was the Nerds in Heat Nerdlesque show and visiting his first after hours Moonlight Maid Cafe".
If you are wondering why this episode was released a day late, CatBus has been exhausted since coming back to Chambana. On top of that, his New Year's Resolution was to watch 15 movies a month. Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to maintaining that trend.
Tuesday's feature was the sequel to "Scanner Cop", "Scanner Cop 2: Volkin's Revenge". This scanner vs. scanner affair was not a winner, but how could it be after he watched James Gunn's "Superman" the night prior. If only had a date to catch "Supergirl" instead, he would feel like a winner on so many levels.
A sure was to feel like a winner is to try a flavor from Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens.
