The juice is loose in St. Louis.

In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, host Logan Janis sits down with local performer Bruce the Juice, a Beetlejuice-inspired cosplay entertainer bringing the chaotic spirit of Beetlejuice to events across the city.

With Tim Burton’s cult classic experiencing a massive resurgence—thanks to nostalgia, cosplay culture, and the touring stage production of Beetlejuice the Musical—fans are rediscovering the strange, weird, and wonderful world first brought to life by Michael Keaton.

Bruce shares his origin story, how he turned cosplay into live performance gigs, and wild behind-the-scenes stories from improv shows, cruise ship acting gigs, murder mystery theater, and unexpected celebrity encounters—including a hilarious casino moment with Tom Welling from Smallville.

You’ll also hear:

• How Beetlejuice became one of the most iconic cult characters in pop culture • The rise of cosplay performers as live event entertainers • Inside stories from improv, murder mysteries, and cruise ship theater • The strange world of fan conventions and fandom communities • Why Beetlejuice fandom is hotter than ever

🎟 PLUS: We talk about upcoming Beetlejuice movie screenings and theater events happening in St. Louis.

What happens when beloved neighborhood restaurants close — and what does that say about the future of community in St. Louis?

In this powerful Season 7 episode of Mostly Superheroes, Logan sits down with Steve Smith of The Royale and David Kirkland of Turn STL for an honest conversation about restaurant ownership, economic pressure, civic tension, and why “third spaces” matter more than ever.

Turn is closing its doors after nearly 8 years in Midtown. David shares what it really takes to run a restaurant — the hidden costs, pandemic survival, tariffs, food price increases, burnout, and what’s next as he relocates to Little Rock.

This episode goes deeper than hospitality. We explore:

• The reality of running an independent restaurant in 2026 • How community spaces build trust & civic strength • The emotional weight of closing a neighborhood staple • Why third spaces are critical for mental health & democracy • The future of restaurants in St. Louis

What happens after you build a secret apartment inside a mall… get arrested… go viral globally… and then hit Netflix’s Top 10?

In this episode, we sit down with tape art pioneer Michael Townsend — the artist behind the secret mall apartment now featured in Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix — to unpack the full story.

But this isn’t just about the apartment.

It’s about:

• The birth of tape art in 1989

• A 500+ mural global movement

• Why artists turned down Hollywood

• The psychology of collaborative creativity

• How leadership training predicts artistic ability

• And the looming crisis that could end their signature blue tape forever

Michael shares the 17-year journey of protecting the story before filmmaker Jeremy Workman brought it to life — and what happened when it cracked the Netflix Top 10, competing with James Bond films.

If you care about: • Creativity • Community art • Creative risk • Indie filmmaking • Leadership & psychology • The intersection of art + culture

This episode is a masterclass.
