Episode 232: 'God Bless America (2011)' & Fan Expo Chicago 2022

It is a #TossBackTuesday for "⁠I Dig Crazy Flicks⁠" as ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ gets himself in the mindset to just hang out at ⁠Fan Expo Chicago⁠ by revisiting the first Fan Expo Chicagoland ever hosted.

⁠Russ⁠ is a little bit in the dumps since this is the first time that Fan Expo has rejected his panel suggestions, but he looks to have a fun time seeing the likes of Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, John Cena, etc. Of course, once you here about 2022's event, you may appreciate the irony of attaching a review to ⁠Bobcat Goldthwait⁠'s satire "⁠God Bless America⁠" to this rewind rendition of "⁠Ninety For Chill - The Podcast⁠".

⁠CatBusRuss⁠ was able to binge "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi" in 48-hours to prepare for Fan Expo in Rosemont, IL. Did he have the energy to thoroughly enjoy the reskin of Wizard World (and Chicago Comic Con before that)? There was Carl Weathers, Ron Perlman, Boyd Holbrook, and a bunch of Hobbits, but since there is only one "Return" (and it is not "of the King"), ⁠Russ⁠ was dedicated to the Kevin Smith content. Was he willing to put up with the challenges and lack of encouragement to get his Bluntman and Chronic Funko Pop! 2-Pack autographed? Here is his story.
