About this listen

 CatBusRuss will occasionally bring up the fact that Harrison Ford does not have a lifetime achievement academy award. He does not work as much as Samuel L. Jackson, but he has as many Oscar nominations. Another actor who deserves similar recognition to the man who brought life to Han Solo is Michael Biehn."The Terminator", "Aliens", "Tombstone". Those three films alone should make us wonder why the radar barely picks up this actor's efforts. So our host is going to do his best to make those blips a bit louder.Mentally, it has been a rough week for CatBusRuss. He is making his best effort to find a guest(s) for his panels at Missouri Comic Con (Springfield, MO, April 11 & 12). There are job interviews that technology seems hellbent on derailing. Trying to be a gym rat takes up a good chunk out of his times. Needless to say, the results at the Academy Awards did not need to be so off the mark."Kpop Demon Hunters" was the best animated feature of 2025? That is probably the worst decision since "Frozen" winning the award in 2013. But after enjoying "Wish", Russ cannot declare that. He needs to watch the Nordic fantasy to be certain. But he has already watched 15 films this month (like the prior two).There are video games to be played. "I Dig Crazy Flicks" is not paying the bills yet, so he need not be obligated to watch another 15 movies per month. If he must watch a movie, why not the only Michael Biehn/James Cameron collaboration he has yet to see, "The Abyss"?Because Russ started this podcast as "Ninety For Chill", 2 hours and 20 minutes is far too long a runtime. Fortunately, this episode will still give you aquatic sci-fi. Before we get to some Biehn flicks, CatBus provides us with a review for the 2020 Kristen Stewart feature, "Underwater".Once he concludes this placeholder for Cameron's under the sea film, this episode has reviews for Biehn flicks from the past three completed decades. Hear about him as an amnesiac assassin in 1991's "Timebomb". He provides great support to Sean Patrick Flanery in the 2006 vampire comedy "The Insatiable". And Russ provides a review of his grindhouse-inspired, directorial domestic feature debut, "The Victim" from 2011.Is Michael Biehn the Harrison Ford of genre cinema? That sounds like a pretty cool title to bestow on him. Perhaps that is better than any statuette.As for other rewards, CatBusRuss discovered Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens. Our host is not a cookie fan, but this stuff taste great and leaves you feeling full quickly.
