Bonus: C2E2 2023: Zachary Levi, #WeAreLitX, and Alien-ation of a Struggling #Podcaster
@CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic have made it up to C2E2, and have gone their separate ways. Individual tastes dictates this as a wise move, but it leads to our host feeling alone. Surely, someone has similar preferences as he does. Well, there are those on Artist Alley who dig cats and AEW, but the other visitors do not know who Captain N is/was. There were some fun and important panels, but Russ cannot shake being alone in a crowd. And this turns into depression over being a lone podcaster. Reach out and be on the show for Seven sakes.

Episode 21: Bust'n Meatballs at the Caddyshack
This week, my flexibility is demonstrated when it comes to coming up with content as I invite Andrew Tiede to the pod. He let me know what Ivan Reitman directed and Harold Ramis penned feature he wanted to gush over, so we talk about the sub 100-minute movies that got us to that paranormal comedy from 1984. And then we gush about the battle with the marshmallow behemoth.
@The_Couch_Man on TikTok and I do our best to get from the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" to "Ghostbusters". The focus was intended to be about Harold Ramis's directorial debut "Caddyshack" and Ivan Reitman's minimal effort that Bill Murray carried, "Meatballs", but you cannot dismiss the features surrounding Dan Aykroyd rise which allowed him to sell a space janitor movie that nearly had a German-themed John Candy. This leads to reminiscing about the power of John Belushi that John Landis facilitated.
And how can we overlook "Stripes" and how parents would let the kids of the early 80's watch anything? We discuss what you could get away with in comedies, but we do our best to provide context to all of the rapiness of "Porky's" and "Revenge of the Nerds". That seemed to be an easier topic to chat up than the weirdness that was 1989 cinema with its normalization of PG-13. I think I may owe Andrew a formal apology for that tangent bringing up "Nothing But Trouble".
We take the time to chat about the apparent lack of appreciation for Ernie Hudson. All of the features in the "Ghostbusters" franchise get a piece of the pod. More importantly, the timelessness of the original "Ghostbusters" is celebrated by trying to find out what movies are even comparable to the concept. Maybe "Roger Rabbit"...
If we get negative about anything, it is the realization that Ivan Reitman may not be the director that his son is. Since a comic was the guest and an aspiring writer is your host, maybe that is a win. This leads me to be further excited about "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". With Jason Reitman being one of the best five North American directors out there, how could this feature go wrong?
We also go back to Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Reviews. This week I review "Killer Movie". Is Kaley Cuoco dropping the C-word worth $3.33 from Disc Replay?
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.
