I Dig Crazy Flicks with CatBusRuss

I Dig Crazy Flicks is the home of "Ninety For Chill". We do not always have the time for a two-hour movie. No one ever wants to sit down and watch a one-hour TV drama knowing that they might end up sticking around for a second (or a third...even a fourth) episode. With this said, 70 to 100 minutes is the ideal runtime. This concise timeframe has given us some of the most rewatchable movies that may not win any Oscars, but are properly fun-sized for the audience. Fun-sized sweets that may be

"Another Earth", Another Narnia, Another Thor

I Dig Crazy Flicks with CatBusRuss ·

2023/08/22

CatBusRuss is doing his best to overcome exhaustion. Fan Expo Chicago calls for exploration means there was no time for relaxation. Our host has worked himself sick, so he felt lucky to get in three movies since returning from Rosemont. And after starting the week with his Netflix DVD rental, "Another Earth", getting up the energy to watch 1979's "The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe" and 2022's "Thor: Love and Thunder" should be considered an

CatBusRuss has made it back to Champaign/Urbana from taking his big sister, ThePoeticCritic, up to Chicago Fan Expo 2023. There was plenty of fun to be had, but there is a lot of stress that comes with planning to have the maximum amount of enjoyment. The Fan Expo takeover of Wizard World (formerly Chicago Comic Con) has led to more blatant efforts to take every possible penny from the convention goers. And taking money from Netflix, WBDiscovery, NBCUniversal, and Disney while cracking down on what

CatBusRuss was able to leave Fan Expo with a sense of accomplishment, but it came having to deal with the shortcomings of the operation…and Rosemont. All of the panels were inspirational. And after dealing with staff being told to hunt down people using their phones, it was refreshing to know Danny Trejo could care less about limitations. At least we know it should be about everyone having fun away from the studios. Too bad he has a deal with LiveNation when it comes to his taco truck.

2023/08/12

The celebrities have arrived, so it was a day full of panels in Rosemont. All of them were entertaining be it their voices (Tara Strong), personality (Christopher Lloyd), or trumpet and history doctrine (Peter Weller). There was a lot of fun to be had, but the current entertainment strikes threaten to make the show dull. And a lack of after-hour events on a Friday is a bit frustrating.

CarBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic have arrived in Rosemont for Chicago’s oldest Comic Con, currently known as Fan Expo. It was a lot of fun going through the show floor, but the celebrities and the panels will not show up until Friday, Aug 11. Still, our host managed to spend $200 and 23 of it went to a cool Nerdlesque Show from Minneapolis’s NerdDom Universe. The frustrating bit was dealing with autographs. After this, he should be allowed to bring his booze in without the effort of hiding it. He

2023/08/08

CatBusRuss returns to his blogging roots. This episode is dedicated to "Arena" from 1989. Our host wrote a review for this Charles Band produced feature back in 2019, and it caught the attention of one of the premier nerdy minds in the Champaign/Urbana metroplex, Tim Bates of Evil Penguin Games. Tim has had a big influence on his fellow retail geeks, like friend of the show Kodiak Thompson, by exposing them to media like the "John Dies at the End" franchise. Tim and Russ have

Low Budget Movie Demons & Undead Angels

2023/08/01

In this superhero, mega-budget obsessed world, it is easy to understand the regular movie goer's mindset that if something is cheap, it cannot be good. The feature will definitely not be exciting. Excitement is overrated, but a little heart in direction and a good script can make any five-figure budget worthwhile. Too bad exploitation encourages quick products over quality. CatBusRuss's recent visit to Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's "Trash Feature Revue" resulted in him

CatBusRuss goes home to deal with plumbing issues at the folks’ house, but primarily to check out his first Quad Con with ThePoeticCritic. His big sister said, and was right, that this is really just a toy con, but there were some celebrities who had booths. If it was not for The Cinema Snob advertising his appearance, our host may have stayed in Urbana to catch up on “AEW: Fight Forever.” It all proved worthwhile thanks to some conversation with the YouTube legend and some great fan art across from

Sam Marsh is a lot like the aliens who seek political sanctuary in the "Men in Black" franchise. CatBusRuss thinks that is a fair thing to say because this is his first podcast guest who is from the Mastodon social media platform. Most people consider that to be another planet. Our guest is just like a Martian minding his own business and make a living on the Internet (vis-a-vis Earth), but has a lot to offer this planet. He feels there is no need to draw attention to himself. But

CatBusRuss has figured a way to kill two birds with one stone. It is now a question of how to get to that stone. Enjoying the physical media release of "Sisu" might be the perfect place to start. Our host felt inspired to throw the planned Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy Trash Feature Revue Triple Feature aside to tackle something that just made it to retailer shelves. This almost made the task of finding a Redbox that carried this Finnish, English-language action film fun. Russ

Semi-MEGA Henry Rollins & Jeff Goldblum Pod

The holiday and returning to the States after the MLB London Series left CatBusRuss without a guest. Fortunately, our host has some classic conversations about two cinematic, American heroes. They are Jurassic Jeff Golblum and the greatest Rollins, Henry Rollins. Two of the best guests to have come on to NinetyForChill: The Podcast have been Kodiak Thompson and ThePoeticCritic. With that said, we cannot allow their debut episodes to not be featured on the feeds for Apple, Spotify, and Amazon Music

CatBusRuss finally got to celebrate his 40th birthday with the London trip his dad wanted to go on three years ago. It was centered around Cubs baseball, but that victory over the Cardinals (Series split, but it is England, so let us considerate an aggregate win of 14-8.) only took up so much time. He had to amuse himself on the flight and the one day with no American pastime. Thanks to United Airlines entertainment system, a movie marathon was formed. Russ finally caught up on “The Banshees of

Andrew "@CouchManBakes" Tiede has been one of the most reliable and fun repeat guest to bless "NinetyForChill" with his presence. He has really helped CatBusRuss make great audio content, so it is about time that he got to chat about a feature that he has been pushing for since " Big Trouble in Little China": CouchMan Lo Pan vs. Jorge Shen". That picture is "Tombstone", another feature starring Kurt Russell. But this picture is 2 hours and 10 minutes

Nothing seems to be working out for CatBusRuss. He is doing a lot better mentally, but that maybe out of spite. The day after he finished producing "Toss Back Tuesday: Jim Carrey Under 100 Minutes", the podcast scheduling plans were all screwed up. "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" was the big Blu-Ray release for June 6, 2023. Its theatrical run was released the week prior to the April movie CatBus wanted to see the most, Nicolas Cage starring as Dracula in "Renfield", so

CatBusRuss is currently an emotional mess. Fortunately, he wants to ensure that all the episodes from the original Podbean feed get moved over to Spotify for Podcasters. In honor of June 6, 2023 [6 -6 - (2 x 3)], it makes sense to rehash a podcast in honor to the star of Joel Schumacher's "The Number 23". ThePoeticCritic returns to the podcast to give a thorough analysis of the sub 100-minute filmography of Jim Carrey. Cool Movie Darth considers the actor/comedian to be the last

CatBusRuss could not have fallen into a more appropriate way to close out the month of May (a.k.a. AniMay [anime + May]). Coinciding with the release of "Fast X", our host watched a couple of features that actually succeed at what the Vin Diesel franchise tries to capture. These are crazy stories that do not get caught up in male soap opera and "Just Kiss Already!" moments. Unlike "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, both "Redline" and "MFKZ" are

"The Truman Show" was a feature that some would say has aged like a fine wine, but there seems to be many who still have a bitter taste in their mouth. What would Hollywood be like if this feature received its roses back in 1998 instead of 2022 at Cannes? Would Jim Carrey have become the post-modern Tom Hanks? Is he American enough to usurp the two-time Oscar winner's greatest title of "America's Dad"? Before this podcast recording, CatBusRuss had only seen the third act

CatBusRuss is pondering how often he should be releasing new episodes of "Ninety For the Chill". This current season has had a great balance of episodes dedicated to his own personal binges and conversations with great guests. But with so many podcasts having a monthly or biweekly release schedule, is the CatBus working too hard? The episode for next week is in the can, so this week, our host is keeping up the ani-May theme by watching Studio Ghibli's spiritual successor's, Studio

Deadpool in 12 Parsecs featuring @CouchManBakes

2023/05/09

One of the worse things about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that they insist that you stick around until the credits conclude for what is essentially a tease for the next feature in the franchise. It is far more forgivable in "Turning Red" to just feature the father dancing to some boy band, but it is still not part of the narrative of the feature that you paid to see. So what if you cut out the six minutes of credits and the teaser for an inevitable sequel to a feature that is only 50
