TARDIS, Kangaroo, The Bear, & Trauma

Help NinetyForChill: The #Podcast get away from paywalls by subscribing to "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss".

Who needs weird, Thanksgiving uncle drama when you can spend your post retail Black Friday vacation discussing the kids' films that traumatized us? Be it eventual trepidations towards animated musicals or live action films that tells Walt Disney's "Bambi" to "hold my beer" when it came to killing forest critters.

With that being ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠'s suggestion for a podcast topic, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ thinks it was wise to open the show with a conversation about her trip to the most recent edition of ⁠Chicago TARDIS⁠. It is the "⁠Doctor Who⁠" convention that fills the void left by Rosemont's "Visions" comic con that ended 25 years ago.

After reminiscing about how great viewing rooms were at conventions, the two embark on providing a brief history of The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon before they spent money on programming. For Nick, they filled the time with package features on Sundays. For the House of Mouse, the time was more than likely filled with imported children features like "⁠Dot and the Kangaroo⁠". But if you wanted real trauma, turn to pre-prime time HBO offering of a French nature drama, "⁠The Bear⁠".

White washing the Australian Bush or wondering where the hell the American Humane Association was when there were live animals dealing with fates equal to those of Nicolas Cage in "The Wickerman", ⁠Russ⁠ left this binge with some reopened scars he never knew he had from childhood.
