Episode 54: Ready or Not - Dubois Declares Action’s New Bride

 (Maybe Li'l BeeBee Bleached Her Hair)

Michael Dubois makes his return to the podcast to further express his admiration for Samara Weaving with a discussion about 2019's action satire, "Ready or Not". Cool Movies Darth goes into this thinking the film was a step down from the quality of "Bill and Ted Face the Music", but only a baby step. Is Samara the next Uma Thurman? We will find that out.

The two of us do our best to explore the career of the Australian actress and this led us to discuss Michael's fondness for the films of McG. I knew him best for the under appreciated "Terminator: Salvation" while my guest fondly looks back at the "Charlie's Angels" features and the Fox series "Human Target". It seems that none of us saw Weaving's break out in Netflix's "The Babysitter". This is kind of ironic since it is about a Satanic sacrifice which we quickly let out as the unadvertised element of "Ready or Not".

"Ready or Not" is about a girl from the foster care system seeking a family. Thus, she marries into the LeDomas family via the son whom wants nothing to do with them. Little does she know, this family's dominion was founded on their great-grandfather's deal with the devil. In other words, the rich are all controlled by Satanists.

As an atheist, I express my dismay that we are blaming the devil for the rich. He is not that evil. This leads us to converse about the truly evil like Ronald Reagan and Peggy Thatcher and how they led to beloved features like "Tombstone" and "They Live". We also chat about how the right could still corrupt their audiences.

This week's guest likes the idea of just summing up the the rich as a cult. He has experience with cults, including The Cult of Inaccurate Perception. Richard O'Brien leadership of that strange group may explain the affection Michael has for "Dungeons and Dragons". I suppose his opinions should be held with esteem when it comes to brainwashers. The only group that I can relate to is My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult.

We do discuss whether or not all rich people suck/are evil. This is inspired by the dynamic of the seemingly Weaving's rebellious groom and his family. My attempts to excuse some billionaires ends up leading to a discussion about the DC Extended Universe and how Iron Mike Ditka could have derailed the greatest presidency since Franklin Roosevelt. At least we know Bruce Wayne is cool.

The rest of the podcasts is just silly fun. We discuss the next trilogy of episodes the two of us should do (Gene Wilder per chance). I suggest features like "War, Inc." to further his leftist beliefs (despite a questionable Hillary Duff character). And his need to explore the Corman "Death Race 2000" franchise is ever present. With that said, I am up to do a podcast on all things Death Race. This includes the Paul W.S. franchise. "Death Race 2" fits the parameters if we cut off the credits. Who does not want to watch "Death Racers" with the Insane Clown Posse and Raven?

As for Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy Trash Feature Revue, I watched 2008's "Cloverfield". It was that or "Columbus Circle". Ally loves her monsters, so this is up her alley. So is "Columbus Circle" and probably "Abandon". The found footage feature won out because I did not want a third week with a paranoid woman film.

My Twitter account is @catbusruss. This is where I want your hate to be directed if you disapprove. Otherwise, positive feedback would be best displayed as subscriptions to my podcast and five-star reviews. Lets work that algorithm.

If you think you have a film or franchise that you are an expert on. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. Most franchises have at least one feature that will qualify for NinetyForChill. The runtime just needs to be between 74 and 99 minutes.

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.

Iczer Girl Iczelion - Robots Present Sailor Moon for #WrestlingTwitter

Iczer Girl Iczelion - Robots Present Sailor Moon for #WrestlingTwitter

I would say, "Imagine We Still Had VHS", but there are cases when the tape is present. After recording three podcasts in one week for "NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast", somehow seeing that my 10 year-old tape deck still works well almost seems as productive.

My former bank job can say what they want, but I did not waste any of my time while I was there. They knew from my resume that I was a certified website designer. Imagine what I could have done for them if they actually encouraged us to help the bank.

The toughest thing in my life is having an extra day off, and having to wake up early for interviews on those days. It sucks that the afternoon interview I had scheduled today (1/26/22) which required me to take on an early morning interview cancelled it at the last minute, but at least I know my day off will be clear. An email was sent to advise me of the cancellation. Ironically, a rescheduled time was implied. Of course, the time they wanted was the same as the morning interview.

The job loss is still on my mind a lot. IDES did not advise me that the interview for me to further state my case that I was fired for convenience rather than misconduct was going to be forgotten. Let it be known that I did fax over my appeal on January 19. All I want is the $604 the state said I initially qualified for. And that is the total of all benefits I think I am owed. My retailer has been great to me, so I cannot qualify for anything beyond those two weeks after I was fired.

I kind of want to hear back from the Illinois Department of Employment Security so I can be free to try move on and possibly burn (figuratively) my former exploiters down.

Nothing ever feels complete. Well, my life every other day does. Where do you go when you were a member of the Chicago Cubs (organization), had a video game made (knowledge can be greater than credit), and cockblocked Billy Corgan (or was it a clam jam against...do not need further legal issues)? B-Fest I hope. That should keep me around for the next month.

What I was trying to do was transition to my anime review. "Iczelion" is a two-episode OVA which promises you a lot more. A radio play (sound novel) followed this, but is that supposed to quench the wants of the fans of this series? Or maybe it was just a played out nostalgia trip to male "Sailor Moon" fans who just watched it for more vivid transformation animations.

Iczer Girl Iczelion (1995)

Nagisa is not your average Japanese high school girl. She does not really want be in school. With the success of performers like Riho, pro-wrestling is something she thinks you need to get into as soon as you can. Unfortunately, her parents forded this, and perhaps they knew their daughter well enough because she is about to find out that violence is something she may not be up for.

As she is jogging to class, a menacing robot seemingly attacks a train. After the robot fires its weapon, Nagisa is transported to another dimension where she meets Iczel, a feminine robot and living suit of armor. It turns out that Iczel was the target of the attacker, and that they have swapped dimensions to fight that assailant off.

Before Nagisa knows what is happening, Iczel has transformed into her armor. Instinctually, she decides to skip Iczel's command to use her lasers and attacks the foe with some Joshi stylings. It works, but soon the Cybernetic Warlord Cross appears to challenge her. After the puroresu fails to harm her, Nagisa cannot handle the need for combat and retreats, leaving Iczel behind. Fortunately, Earth has three other Iczel that have found hosts in a pop idol, a night club dancer, and another high schooler. 

It turns out the Iczels are here because Cross and her older brother Chaos are out to destroy the universe one planet at a time, solely to prove their superiority. Only a combination of an Iczel and a human woman can possibly stand a chance against them. The most immediate problem is, Nagisa's Iczel is not as powerful as the other three. She is certain Nagisa is the hero who will make her as powerful as the rest. Can Nagisa overcome her fears and take up the responsibility of protecting the human race.

"Iczer Girl Iczelion" lays out a great template for an interesting take on the magical girl franchise. Too bad focusing on nude transformation and up-skirt shots cannot sell many episodes.

The series may take itself too seriously at a lot of points. Iczel is essentially Luna, but sadly Nagisa is not Usagi. There is no humor to her whining about needing to be a hero, so it just gets annoying. We do not get to know the rest of the supporting cast outside of their battles, so it all feels rushed and shallow. On top of that, Original Video Animation is sold to American audiences as equal to theatrical animation. This is not the case. The design and movement is not bad, but it does not flush it out enough to be outstanding.

What is great is the soundtrack. This is the J-Pop from my teens that made me want to buy the tunes while Animenation was still selling Taiwanese bootlegs. Placed with robot and night club imagery, it seemed to offer everything I could want from a Japanese cartoon. These elements allowed me to still enjoy the tape despite all of the flaws. I think I may have just been in a mood for a trip back in time before all of this adulthood bullshit.

"Iczelion" could have used better writing, but pro-wrestling, nude girls, robots, and great tunes grabbed my attention. It is a fun hour if you do not take it too seriously, but you are not going to be disappointed that their is not an additional hour to amuse you. At least it does not beat you over the head with the perversion like "Knights of Ramune" or "Agent Aika". I can appreciate some fan service, but I do not want to pay for shame.

NinetyForChill: The #Podcast - Deadly Games: French Santa vs. Gregory Carl

NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast

Episode 53: Deadly Games: French Santa vs. Gregory Carl (Do You Want to Build a Claymore?)

Gregory Carl maybe late for Christmas, but comes strong by offering Cool Movies Darth this movie suggestion. What if instead of the Wet Bandits, Kevin was stalked by Father Christmas? And how about we give Macaulay Culkin a marvelous mullet? What you get is the 1989's French feature "Deadly Games", the plagiarism lawsuit against "Home Alone" that never materialized.

 

For me, Rene Manzor claims that John Hughes and Chris Columbus ripped off this feature within a year of its release are farfetched. The tonal shifts from fun kids movie to horror makes it feel closer to the Columbus-penned "Gremlins". With that said, Hughes had bragged that he would knock out a first draft during "his kids in peril" career stretch over a weekend. I feel there is a huge leap from incompetent burglars to pet-murdering Father Christmas.

I have seen a few more French films than he has. This feature had the feel and absurdity of Jean-Pierre Juenet's early works. With his first solo outing being "Alien: Resurrection", a door to enjoying the features from France may have been opened to Mr. Carl. By suggesting that Gregory wanting to see children being abused for French amusement, he may have also been inspired to read some Roald Dahl. And that in turn means I may have suggested the more racist of the James Bond franchise. C'est La Vie.

Stylistically, "Deadly Games" pulls from a lot of classics while still seeming to be cutting edge. The snowy French country-side allows for many a call back to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" while featuring model and computer effects that you would think Stephen Spielberg had over seen. It also pays homage to American macho imagery as we have our protagonist, boy genius Thomas, celebrate "Rambo" and all of the other action movies no kid his age should have seen. Oh for the age where satire was understood.

If anything took from this feature, ironically it may have been "Gremlins 2: The New Batch". The tonal shifts are constant in this tale of a boy defending his diabetic, blind grandfather and himself against a deranged man. I would suggest that the boy's need to grow tough is very similar to how Gizmo had to toughen up to have his revenge against Mohawk. Still, the turn around for that theft would be less than a year.

It is tough to figure out if anyone stole from anybody, but this feature was never shown in an American cinema until 25 years after its international release. Warner Media and 20th Century Fox may have been trying to hide something. Or should I say, those two parties may have had their own motivations to make something this unique disappear.

Of course, it would not be a Gregory Carl podcast without some wrestling and Jean-Claude Van Damme chatter. My thoughts on the "Big Swole" controversy are said and we may have set ourselves up for a discussion about "Kickboxer" vs. "Lionheart". Gregory wants to stick to horror for his next episode, but got to lay some seeds down.

As for news with me, I think I am heading to BFest in Evanston next month. The hotel room is booked to see "Showdown in Little Tokyo" on a bigger screen. Here is to hoping that this is just a way to jinx myself into nailing one of the upcoming job interviews to land some security in my life. But still, surely I can get one Friday off after filling out a new W2.

This episode does feature a return to Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy Trash Feature Revue. This week, I watched "Before I Go to Sleep", a Ridley Scott backed Nicole Kidman feature with Colin Firth and Mark Strong (and the guy who played Ed from "Game of Thrones"). It is a feature that is enjoyable enough, but for a movie about overnight amnesia, I may stick with "50 First Dates."

It's My Life: Employment Drama and the #TagTeam Power Rankings.

 *This blog was started on January 18, 2022.

We are going on eight interviews in one week. So far, Three of them were for "NinetyForChill - The Podcast". Two have been for a job that is too good to be true. Tomorrow will be for a couple of jobs and hopefully one will be with an IDES agent to appeal my previous, primary employer protest's of my unemployment claim. Needless to say, I am stressed out.

The stress is more from just wanting my drama with that employer to end. I have so much to say about getting screwed over for expressing what they were doing wrong which creates poor morale and how to resolve this. I think I am going to have to invite the interviewee to visit MainEventOfTheDead.com...but I might be exposing too much of my life.

What I am disappointed in right now is that I have not found a goofy sounding song title to give this blog post. I say that, and I think of Talk Talk. Don't you forget.

Here is to hoping the next blog will be "Hella Good". I have a feeling No Doubt lead to fuzzy memories.

I am on an emotional edge. My retailer is treating me great, but I need a guaranteed 40-hour week. After my previous employer's treatment, it just leads me to feel my life is just bound to be hopeless. It really sucks that I got muzzle my emotions.

I am not ashamed of who I am and I cannot afford therapy. Again, resolution of the drama with my past employer would be nice to elaborate past realities. This was and hopefully still is my emotional outlet. Sorry that I do not make friends easily. And yet again, I got to stop and not elaborate until my fight ends. The cruelty to have to fight.

It is ironic that real life is where I have to stand up for myself. When I was in the wrestling locker rooms before AAW, all the fighting is outside the ring via verbal jarring while I could count on one hand the Peorians on the top of the card who could actually be a challenging physical fight. You can say that wrestling is more of an art than sport, but it is frustrating being a Mid-South Pink Slip. Things would be so much better off if it still needed to be "real (to me)" damnit.

I guess that is a good enough means to transition to something fun to talk about. Something that is obvious to place in the title. How would anyone think that I was even trying to break confidentiality when the past six months of blogs could not indicate anything about any employer who was not Tony Khan or Vince McMahon?

The Disgruntled's Real Men's Tag Team Power Rankings (01/18/2022)

The Number 1 Tag Team in the World:
SmackDown Tag Team Champions:
The Usos: Jimmy and Jey Uso (Up 2 Spots)

• They had successfully retained their championship against WWE's greatest tag team, The New Day, to start the year.
• The SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been previous recognized as the Disgruntled's Real World Tag Team Championship.
• The Lucha Brothers losing to Jurassic Express left the division with a lot of dream tag team bouts unfulfilled (Young Bucks rematch, Santana and Ortiz, redDRagon, Sting and Allin, etc.).

Pinterest @geoffrhymer

The Number 2 Tag Team in the World:
AEW World Tag Team Champions:
Jurassic Express: Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus (Up 5 Spots)

• The AEW World Tag Team Championship was the most recent DRCW Real World Tag Team Championship.
• This was well booked, but it is a team with a Shawn and Marty vibe. They will need to beat all comers (the dream opponents for the Lucha Bros.) to make this reign stand the test of time.

The Number 3 Tag Team in the World:
ROH World Tag Team Champions:
The Briscoes: Jay and Mark Briscoe (Down 1 Spot)

• They also hold the Game Changer Wrestling Tag Team Championship.
• The ROH World Tag Team Championship was previously recognized as the DRCW Real World Tag Team Championship.
• They are working towards a program with FTR, former AEW Tag Team Champions and current AAA Tag Team Champions.

The Number 4 Tag Team in the World:
Raw Tag Team Champions:
Alpha Academy: Otis (Dozovic) and Chad Gable (Debut)

• Because of missed opportunities in promoting this duo, they are the current DRCW Unified Gnarly Men's Doubles World Champions (Thanks "The Ringer's Masked Man Show").
• The Raw Tag Team Championship was previously recognized as the DRCW Real World Tag Team Championship.
• This duo was formed (in kayfabe) as a project by the former Daniel Bryan.

The Number 5 Tag Team in the World:
Impact World Tag Team Champions:
The Good Brothers: Machine Gun Anderson and Doc Gallows (Down 1 Spot)

• They are the current Impact World Tag Team Championship (A history recognized by the DRCW World Tag Team Championship).
• They had recently won the NJPW Strong Tag Team Turbulence Tournament.
• The recently opening of WWE's Forbidden Door may knock some of the luster of their championship.

The Number 6 Tag Team in the World:
NWA World Tag Team Champions:
La Rebelion: Bestia 666 and Mecha Wolf 450

• They are the current NWA World Tag Team Champions (A history recognized by the DRCW World Tag Team Championship).
• The Current Crash Tag Team Champions.

The Number 7 Tag Team in the World:
RK-Bro: Randy Orton and (Matt) Riddle (Down 2 Spots)

• They were the most recent DRCW Unified Gnarly Men's World Doubles Champions.
• They are still considered by many as the best act on Monday Night Raw.

The Number 8 Tag Team in the World:
The Street Profits: Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins (Up 1 Spot)

• They defeated the Mysterios to win the RK-Bronament and unsuccessfully challenged the former Raw Champions, RK-Bro.
• Along side the Mysterios, they are one of the top two teams in the Raw Tag Team division not in the title picture.

The Number 9 Tag Team in the World:
The Mysterios: Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio (Up 1 Spot)

• They got one over The Street Profits to promote the Royal Rumble on the 1/17/22 Monday Night Raw.
• They are on a constant verge of breaking up.

The Number 10 Tag Team in the World:
AAA Tag Team Champions:
FTR: Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood (Debut)

• They won their tag team championship from the Lucha Bros. when that team was the DRCW Real World Tag Team Champions.
• They are developing a feud with the double champion Briscoe Brothers.

This served as a good exercise to distract myself from life's difficulties. Too bad it is sad that two of the greatest tag teams in modern wrestling are in booking purgatory. We know the Lucha Bros will be on the back burner with Rey Fenix's injury during their title loss. To promote the Royal Rumble, it will be all about prepping the Kofi Kingston spot. I also believe Xavier Woods is injured.

Again, I envy the injured. At least they earned their trauma. Who dislikes badges of honor? No bitterness over hard truths is ruining their lives. With that said, I have more time to get booked for a comeback. Russthebus07@gmail.com is a good way to address future wrestling bookings. Thanks.

NinetyForChill: The #Podcast - ThePoeticCritic vs. Disney on the Turf

Episode 52: ThePoeticCritic vs. Disney on the Turf (The Secrets of Marie the Cat)

ThePoeticCritic sparingly drops F-Bombs, and because she and her little brother Cool Movies Darth were less than two weeks removed from their Disney World vacation, it made sense to hold off on some lengthier recordings to see how Disney will rule the world in 2022. There is of course some Goldblum talk, but the Mouse dominates the show with his rides and movies.

 

Let me apologize to Gregory Carl and Michael Dubois. They recorded episodes before my unscheduled chat with my big sister, but with my Monday being a longer day than I had planned, and the reasoning for it (a Zoom interview for a younger, more gullible job) left me in a down state. In other words, editing out all the R-Rated curse word from hours of recordings seemed to be a daunting task.

If it is of any consolation to my podcast pals, my trip to Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy Trash Feature Revue did not help my day. Stephen Gaghan directorial debut, "Abandon", was a theatrical concussion. I did not travel through time, but it felt like I lost actual time as if it was a physical commodity.

As for the impromptu conversation with the big sister, it centers around our Disney World trip, but we do chat about how Pixar once again perceives that the Mouse is treating them like a red-headed stepchild (With Ariel being black in the live-action remake, I think that is a fair metaphor.) since their next feature is going straight to streaming. Fans will not even be forced to spend $30 to watch it on Disney+. If you love Pixar, pay for it.

These stuck up fans realize these films have already been paid for? We are beyond the Kickstarter stage. Look how that worked out for "Valerian: City of 1000 Planets".

When it comes to what ThePoeticCritic is looking for, it centers around Jeff Goldblum. But she liked "The Suicide Squad", why ignore John Cena? I guess it easy to do to what you cannot see. But the Goldblum is on the same streaming service.

Beyond the vacation, I do my best to woo Sarah from Once Upon A T Shirt to make an appearance on this show. If it was not enough, my efforts have been dedicated to trying to find a $15 an hour gig with hopes of 40 hours weekly. This blog post is task enough. At least it serves as a distraction as I wait on unemployment to kick in.

Thanks ThePoeticCritic for giving me 40 minutes. There are essentially trailers for the next two episodes, so things are looking good for "NinetyForChill". Thanks for stopping by and helping out.

As for films that I am qualifying for NinetyForChill, who wants to beat TPC to "Earth Girls Are Easy"? As for non-Goldblum fair, "Under Siege" qualifies, so I have the knowledge for a Steven Seagal episode. Anyone up for a challenge?

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.

Like a Prayer: 2022 and the Championship Mayhem

Like a Prayer: 2022 and the Championship Mayhem
(A Weird Soundtrack for and Orange Cassidy Match)

  *This blog post was started on January 11, 2022.

As Mark Hamill tweeted, "Is it too late to resolve not to spend that as much time on the Internet?", I am envious. My bank job is forcing me to spend more time on the Internet, or should I say, my former bank job. If anyone has some awesome job offers that will pay $15 an hour at 40 hours, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. Relocation is not an issue.

It took a few days to get into the Disney World Vacation, and the job loss is probably the primary reason. Usually it takes time in a crowd of strangers for me to feel alone, but this was the opposite experience. I may not have wanted to come home. The pay cannot be great and I lucked out in terms of the Covid risk, but to see great hospitality by the cast and hotel staff...and it feels like home. Curse my atheism.

Of course, the chorus sings "When you call MY name, it's like a little prayer." For someone with an ego, it feels right.

Fortunately, my retail job is taking care of me. It has been a hell of fight to get in the position to get funds that would cover the unpaid vacation, but the frustration goes beyond that. There was a hell of a lot of wrestling last week to catch up on, and the Samsung TVs (I am more of a Sony guy.) were not new enough to Airplay Fite TV. If only I knew my dad would bring his HDMI cable for his laptop to try and catch the Buffalo Bills. If only he knew that I could have resolved that for him. At least we got to see some the Rivermen hockey.

The worst thing about all the wrestling I missed, there was a lot of newsworthy moments. I am not in the mood for the real news right now, so lets try to make some sense about the wrestling scene before tomorrow's Dynamite.

The Disgruntled's Real Men's Power Rankings (1/11/2022)

The Number 1 Wrestler in the World:
Hangman Adam Page

• You can win the WWE Championship at a moment's notice, but can you go ninety minutes with Bryan Danielson?
• He is the current AEW World Champion.
• He is the current Disgruntled's Real Men's World Champion.

Pinterest @KVASHI1967

The Number 2 Wrestler in the World: Kazuchika Okada (Debut)

• He is the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion having defeated Shingo Takagi to obtain it on January 4 and defeating Will Ospreay on January 5 to retain it.
• The IWGP Heavyweight Championship has been recognized as a qualifier for the Disgruntled's Real Men's World Championship.

The Number 3 Wrestler in the World: Brock Lesnar (Debut)

• He is the new WWE Champion having defeated the champion in a Fatal Five Way. They need a new name to differentiate it from a Fatal Four Way.
• The WWE Championship has been recognized as a Disgruntled's Real Men's World Championship in the past.

The Number 4 Wrestler in the World: Trevor Murdoch

• He is the current NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
• The NWA World Heavyweight Championship was the original Disgruntled's Real Men's World Championship.

The Number 5 Wrestler in the World: Roman Reigns

• He is the current WWE Universal Champion.
• He is the current DRCW Modern Poser Champion. The Universal Championship is not recognized as a world championship by DRCW. If WWE is working towards a title unification match between Lesnar and Reigns, he maybe able to finally climb the rankings.

The Number 6 Wrestler in the World: Hiroshi Tanahashi (Debut)

• He is the new IWGP United States Champion after defeating KENTA.
• He is the new DRCW OCHO Secondary Champion. 

The Number 7 Wrestler in the World: Adam Cole (Bay Bay) (Debut)

• He is undefeated as a single's competitor in AEW.
• He is currently the number one ranked men's singles wrestler in AEW.

The Number 8 Wrestler in the World: Bobby Lashley (Debut)

• He is the current top contender to the WWE Championship.
• He came out looking the strongest of the Fatal Five Way bout where Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship.
• He won a Fatal Four Way bout to become the contender.

The Number 9 Wrestler in the World: Tetsuya Naito (Debut)

• He is the next challenger for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. He issued a challenge that Okada accepted.
• He is the former champion who won and held both the IWGP Heavyweight and IWGP Intercontinental Championships simultaneously on two occasions.

The Number 10 Wrestler in the World: Bandido

• He is the current ROH World Champion. This belt is a belt that has been declared the Disgruntled's Real Men's World Championship in the past.
• With ROH scheduling Supercard of Honor in April, I would assume he will be defending the championship with the Original ROH Champion John Gresham.

It is not a good time for secondary champions. WWE is not pushing either their United States or Intercontinental Championships and AEW has their championship divided between an official and an interim champion. Thus, there maybe too many which is something I shiver to say.

I am saddened that I currently cannot pay homage to the old Apter magazine. With WrestleMania season coming up and I think a imminent WWE sale, perhaps things will narrow down. Making championships mean something is my preference in booking, but that may be because no one was ever going to attach a top championship on me...despite the ambitions and efforts that I had over all other Peoria wrestlers.

Fuck Norman "Apocalypse" Calloway. As for Alex "Trip C" Larson, WWE cosplay never works on the indies.

There are my hot takes. Best directed at those guys than my former employer I suppose. Of course, bad mouthing promotions had got me in trouble before. I have a history of walking on the harshside.

Episode 51: Disney World and Eva's Disdain for Aristocats (Duchess was not responsible for my job lost.)

Cool Movies Darth returns from Walt Disney World (and to unemployment) to deal with his fascination about "The Aristocats" backpack/purse sold in Orlando. He reviews the animated movie and discusses his trip to the most dangerous place on earth, Florida. Thanks Ron Desantis for another family member's Covid diagnosis.

 

I do not regret spending all my money on booze and a light saber, but it was difficult to say no to a $70 cat-themed bag. "The Aristocats" is fondly remembered, but did it do anything for Disney animation? It is tough to argue against "Ratatouille" having the ride at Epcot's France pavilion instead of this 52-year old film.

I wish I would have been able to get into more of the Disney World experience, but with no guest for this episode, the time was not there. Perhaps, ThePoeticCritic will return and chat about this trip, but that is a wait and see scenario.

Before the trip, the bank that I worked at decided to let me go because of my blog "Maine Event of the Dead". Since I have yet to mention their name, the gods know I am upset and depressed. This may have led to me having a slow start when it came to enjoying this vacation. But, once you get to know the parks, there maybe no better vacation spot.

Well, as long a Desantis is governor of the state, it is actually the most dangerous place on earth. Despite being raised conservatively, the Stevens are true patriots and not idiots. Too bad Florida encourages the false and the moronic. If it was not for booster shots, I would be prepping a lawsuit against the state.

A simple lesson for anyone who visits Orlando, a thousand people shoulder to shoulder is the same as being indoors. Wear a motherfucking mask and get the freaking shots. If I had to register to be drafted to fight for idealologies and oil, you can actually do something to care for your fellow Americans by being vaxxed and masked.

I have made it home Omicron-free, so I really should consider the trip to be a win. If I get IDES to straighten their files up, unjustly losing my job should not be that big a hit. Despite the lack of efforts by my big sister, a reservation was successfully made to get my ultimate light saber (Despite the lack of yellow kyber crystal, I did my best to pay homage to Rey...FYR.) and I am figuring out how to enjoy my time by myself.

I still wish my cat(s) were there, but you just have to pay attention to your surrounding. It sucks that the event did not happen till our last day at the parks, but I met a cool girl from Iowa who runs an Etsy shop. Smiles were shared thus egos were boosted. That is tough to find, so hopefully sharing a link to Once Upon A T Shirt will be respect enough.

My Twitter account is @catbusruss. This is where I want your hate to be directed if you disapprove. Otherwise, positive feedback would be best displayed as subscriptions to my podcast and five-star reviews. Lets work that algorithm.

If you think you have a film or franchise that you are an expert on. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. Most franchises have at least one feature that will qualify for NinetyForChill. The runtime just needs to be between 74 and 99 minutes. We have four episodes to fill.

 

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.
