Hopefully everyone has had a great start to 2024. With all the festivities, finding a guest was going to be next to impossible, so ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ got a week off to relax. Or did he?

These festive times means most people have little time, so our host had to make up for this with an action movie binge. This will be the closest to an ⁠Illinois Central College⁠ hosted ⁠B-Fest⁠. that we think you can find. ⁠Russ⁠ wanted to clear out some of the cheap and/or hard to find DVDs from his queue. From his past two February trips up to Evanston, he thinks he has come up with a quadruple feature that would make the Northwestern programmers proud.

Not all of the flicks discussed will make the cut. If you want to learn more about Chris Jericho, stick around to the end for an "⁠Android Apocalypse⁠" review. In an attempt to get you ready for the CG chaos of "⁠Black Mask 2: City of Masks⁠", our host did revisit the 1996(9) ⁠Jet Li⁠ feature, "⁠Black Mask⁠".

The final line up of four fun-filled films is ⁠Ivan Drago⁠ vs ⁠Kano (95)⁠ in the mercenary tale, "⁠Men of War⁠", the mutant-pro-wrestling allegory, "Black Mask 2", ⁠Brian Bosworth⁠ vs. ⁠Lance Henriksen⁠ in biker porn, "⁠Stone Cold⁠", and the choose your own adventure, DC Animated Feature "⁠Batman: Death in the Family⁠". Imagine how that can turn an audience on each other.

All of the features can be found streaming (provided you want to spend $12.99 for BM2). The only way right now to watch "Stone Cold" is currently on Pluto TV via "⁠Rifftrax⁠". Here's hoping Bill, Kevin, and Mike's transfer is as good as my blu-ray.
