CatBusRuss compares his favorite tale of a quest for vengeance in the 19th Century, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, to novelist Josh Nealis’s favorite film based on the premise, “The Count of Monte Cristo” (2002).

How well does a movie based on an 11-minute long television show work out. It has its moments, but CatBusRuss is not asking for “Super Jail” the movie.

Our host wrote a review for this ⁠Charles Band⁠ produced feature back in 2019, and it caught the attention of one of the premier nerdy minds in the Champaign/Urbana metroplex, Tim Bates of ⁠Evil Penguin Games⁠.

CatBusRuss’s editing project from his Mass Communication time at Illinois Central College was devoted to the hard to distribute comedy about high school violence.

John Cusack cannot manage to take his own life after his girlfriend leaves him for the ski team captain, so hopefully Curtis Armstrong and the mute French foreign exchange student will get his life back on the right path.

CatBusRuss thought this was the best sub 100-minute movie that he discovered in 2019. It is the story of a young adult who was kidnapped as a baby and raised on a sci-fi TV show his “father” created to encourage his math skills.

HBO Max’s documentary about New Jersey’s infamous “Action Park”. It is a celebration of eighties ignorance, kids demanding not to be treated as kids, and business men who create their own insurance company to fool the state and shield it from their casualties.

David Cronenberg’s feature about a club whose fetish is having sex in motor vehicles, particularly as they end up in horrific accidents.

It is Thanksgiving Week, and ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ is very thankful for the opportunity to interview the writer/director of "⁠Cuisine de la 'Pocalypse⁠", ⁠Kyle Weingart⁠. If you want a story about good food in a desolate land, this is a far better tale than the white washing of colonialism's effect on Native Americans.

Jon, an aspiring songwriter/keyboardist finds himself producing an album for The Soronprfbs, a band led by Frank. Frank refuses to remove his paper-mache head, so you know Jon will try to make this genius viral.

Frank loses his job on the same day he is informed that he has an inoperable cancer. And all people are talking about is an awful performance on the most popular singing reality show. With the help of disenchanted high schooler Roxy, the two go cross country to give the USA something worth talking about.

GalaxyCon Des Moine’s celebration of films that don’t outstay their welcome. CatBusRuss endures a viewing of a deeply personal ode to Nickelodeon, “I Saw the TV Glow”.

Pablo Schreiber is in debt to the Russian mob. If he does not pay off that debt, his father will be executed. Fortunately, the mob shoots snuff films. He offers to be the star of the next film to settle his account.

Jovovich was is a couple of features that critics were overly harsh to. Bad CG effects hindered the fun of Niel Marshall’s film. You’re overly serious to look down on the Emma Roberts flick.

Bob Lindenmayer wanted to direct a making of documentary about his favorite movie, 1982’s “MegaForce”. Then he became best friends with Barry Bostwick, the film’s star. Now he wants to relive the best times of his childhood with Ace Hunter.

Orpheus leads the Shredders, a skate punk band in the dystopian Pacific Northwest. The band’s success is not enough after his wife Eurydice is taken by the Euthanasia Broadcast Network. With his Lyre-Axe and board, he will try to bring her back to the Grey Zone, no matter the cost.

Nix Eclips from “Cinema Shit Show” comes on to discuss this Troma-distributed horror comedy that beat “Scream’s” meta-humor by fire years.

CatBusRuss is joined by Veronica Vetter and ThePoeticCritic to discuss “This Is Spinal Tap”. It is the most influential mockumentary and immediately established the legitimacy of a directorial and comedic legend, Rob Reiner.
