Ghost World, Ebertfest, & ThePoeticCritic’s Summertime Sadness

It is only appropriate that this #RewindWednesday podcast falls on the same week as Ebertfest in Champaign, IL. CatBusRuss was not going to try and manage two events to get time off for in a month, so the least he can do is try to give the "I Dig Crazy Flicks" listener a taste of what the festival is like.Back in 2022, CatBusRuss was able to attend the Terry Zwigoff and Thora Birch hosted screening of "Ghost World" a feature that our host has a friendship that played out a lot like that of the characters in this adaptation of Daniel Clowes comic book. He and she would argue about who was Enid (Birch) and who was Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), but the two were aspiring to be Seymour (Steve Buscemi).It gets pretty personal since Russ is just expressing his thoughts about the film, so to lighten things up, you can listen to him and his big sister, ThePoeticCritic, try not to be too down on the summer box office of 2022.
