We interviewed Bruce "B-Movie" Bratton last Friday on his last regular segment of movie reviews on "The Bushwhacker's Breakfast Club" after 19 years; Bruce passed away at home, in his sleep, 5 days later on December 11, 2024; in Santa Cruz Bruce worked for every newspaper in town, the Good Times, the Santa Cruz Metro, the Santa Cruz Sentinel; Sleepy knew Bruce for 35 years; Bruce always had a beef with something, and would let you know about it; Dangerous Dan was not always a fan, as Bruce would go on and on, including lengthy reviews of movies he hated and did not want you to watch; Bruce improved, though, and listened to constructive criticism; Bruce had an earlier incarnation as part of The Goodimte Washboard Three, and they appeared on Bing Crosby's TV show on April Fools Day, 1967; lots of listeners texted in their remembrances and condolences.   (Bruce passed away at home, in his sleep, 2 days before this interview, on December 11, 2024. RIP, "B-Movie" - you are missed!)
