Michael Dubois and CatBusRuss pick up where they left off with their discussion inspired by Mel Brooks's debut feature, "The Producers". The conversation starts with exploring Zero Mostel's portrayal of Max Bialystock and his pension for seducing pensioners to fund his films. This leads into CatBusRuss's salacious adulthood, satirical takes towards parents, and "Star Wars" fandom. It only seems appropriate to attach a review for "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" to this podcast.

This episode divulges at least three stories that might trigger shame and judgments, especially since Russ just laughs them off.

The important lesson is that Michael Dubois is wiser than our host was at 30 years-old. As for true cinema chatter, Russ did get around to finally watching "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot". The only problem he could see the casual movie goer having with this feature is that Kevin Smith made this film for his fans. "Tusk", "Red State", "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", and even "Yoga Hosers" seemed like attempts to make movies for everyone. To truly appreciate this film, you have to hold him in high regard. So Russ fucking loved it.

When CatBusRuss is posting a #RewindWednesday episode of "I Dig Crazy Flicks with CatBusRuss", if the conversation was two parts, he prefers to glue it back together as one long podcast. But who would deny this feed having two weeks to celebrate the film that made Mel Brooks the cinema icon that he is today? Especially not even a week removed from his 99th birthday.

This was an interesting conversation with Michael Dubois, a cinephile whose first exposure to "The Producers" franchise was the 2005 adaptation of the Broadway musical starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. That may have stayed that way except for he is a huge Gene Wilder fan. Our host and guest were originally planning a trilogy of podcasts about the actor's films. Check out the #RewindWednesday about "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory".

Was Gene Wilder enough to put "The Producers" ahead of its 21st century take in Michael's eyes? Listen to find that out and enjoy the anti-fascist politics the film inspired the two podcasters to converse about.

Full Disclosure: The reason this will remain a two part podcast is that when CatBusRuss was originally editing the chat, the first half's language was fairly clean. As the conversation continued, and as Russ was further indulging in "podcast punch", the obscenities are far more frequent in part two. If your kids love the first hour and a half, you have been warned about what is to come next week.

CatBusRuss is joined by prolific podcaster Noel Thingvall to discuss a Sci-Fi Channel Saturday morning classic, "Zieram". Our host would call it "Alien Isolation for Dummies". Noel would call it "Alien Meets Abbott and Costello". Either alternative title you bestow on the feature debut of tokusatsu master, Keita Amemiya, the two mean them to be complimentary.

For CatBus, he wanted to watch this film 25 years ago since the second anime VHS tape(s) he bought was "Iria: Zieram the Animation". It is one of his favorite bad-ass, big-boobed bounty hunter series (pardon the alliteration). Eventually, the otaku read somewhere that it was considered to be the prequel OVA to this feature. That is a stretch, but it was just fun to see the original take of her. What was even odder is her essentially playing back seat to Kenny and Vic from "MXC".

Noel is a huge fan of Japanese special effects, especially those from television shows that would eventually be edited with American teenagers to create "Power Rangers" series. He has also actively been watching Japanese media since the first run of "Robotech". It is only fitting that the dub the two were first introduced to was handled by Streamline Picture's Carl Macek, the original reconfigurer of Japanese media.

This film is very derivative of classic sci-fi cinema. Not only does it pay homage to the "Alien" franchise, the third act is an ode to "The Terminator" and "The Thing". Noel being a host on the "Masters of Carpentry Podcast" proves to have the authority to make this statement.

"Zieram" is silly and over-the-top, and would be a perfect feature for B-Fest. Russ and the host of "Schumacast" would love to see Western cinema try to have this much fun with scary monsters.
