Episode 31: ThePoeticCritic vs. Daffy and Donald (Criterion Channel Needs a Duck Mascot)
ThePoeticCritic
returns to the podcast and lets us know how we must stand up to Disney
and their efforts to allow the Marvel Cinematic Universe to consume the
whole of mass media and prevent new ideas from influencing aspiring film
makers. It is a call to seek shelter in the Criterion Collection.
Thankfully, their streaming channel has great Saturday matinees for the
kids along side Cronenberg and Jarmush for Mom and Dad.

TPC is not overly optimistic about the rest of the 2021 film calendar, so she refers us to many an interesting documentary ("Class Action Park" and "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage [Both on HBO Max]). These help keep her mind off of Disney's false progressive signals (If you have to curtail to Chinese values, there is no progress.) despite they have taken News Corp out of the content creation game.
I do try to calm her saying that things are not as bad as she thinks they are, but a consensus is reached between us that the House of Mouse is establishing a new Hayes Code. It is up to us to support wise auteurs like Martin Scorsese and to divert our focus to the new age of content creators, no matter how far they have been buried by Disney, AT&T/Warner Media, Viacom/Paramount, and Comcast/Universal. This leaves me fearing that we are just Bill Paxtons for xenomorphs if Lionsgate and Sony figure out over-the-top services. Game over man.
But this chat is not all doom and gloom. We preach the art of riffing movies after some inspiration from the Rifftrax short "Courtesy: A Good Eggsample". It also serves as a demonstration on how taboo subjects (We [and the Rifftrax trio] went to that Gump place.), can still be funny if you have your joke structure down. The two of also have a good laugh about "Bluey" censorship.
The chat also features a discussion on how to see movies in the theater and the importance of not going to deep into #FilmTwitter. If you must navigate the thoughts of vampiric mouse familiars, take note of the handles that TPC offers you to serve as guides.
I am still looking for a guest for the August 24th episode of this podcast. After deeming "The Suicide Squad" to be too long, an interest in finding movies to cut down to about 90-minutes has arose. If anyone wants to chat about this, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @catbusruss.
Just offer a 90-minute subject (film, director, theme, or actor(s)) to
also chat about. OR, another movie to figure out how to get from a
bloated state down to the ideal frame of 74 to 99 minutes.
The podcast has to be recorded by August 22nd. Let me thank you in advance for your assistance.
I
would not mind being a couples week ahead when it comes to content, so I
would love to hear from you with ideas on what to chat about. Frankly,
it would be honor to host you and find out about why you offered your
incite. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com with
a movie, theme, director, or actor. If you promise to center the topic
around movies between 74 and 99 minutes, audio gold should be the
product.
If you need some suggestions, movies like "Fear of a Black Hat", "UHF" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" can
make for a great theme. ThePoeticCritic knew that Robert Downey Sr.'s
satirical masterpiece, "Putney Swope" fits the pod's time restraints.
There are also Tim Burton's early classics "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and
"Beetlejuice". Or we could just focus on movies Danny Elfman scored.
I
have been asking for weeks for assistance in composing an episode
dedicated to vampire features like "The Lost Boys" trilogy, "Near Dark",
and the "Underworld" movies. Here is to hoping that this bunch of
critiques will stir up some inspiration in my audience to step up and
hold off on the garlic. If this is a topic you up for discussing, feel free to send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. All I need is a half hour on Zoom to get this done.
I
hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast
and I am open to any and all criticism. My biggest want is more guests
and more suggestions on what to chat about (@catbusruss, russthebus07@gmail.com@coolmoviesdarth). If we can get 3 hours out of "Little Nicky", the possibilities are endless. Thanks for visiting.
After
WrestleMania Backlash, I will tell you that we need to take zombie pro
wrestling back. My suggestion is that we finally get my low-budget
zombie movie, "Main Event of the Dead" off the ground. The script lacks a
lumberjack match, so you know it has got to be better than the "Army of
the Dead" advertisement. Ask for a treatment or give me suggestions on
how to get it to a crowd-sourcing stage with an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.
