I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast with CatBusRuss

CatBusRuss is dedicating this week to the film that truly opened him up to the works of "The Horror Master" John Carpenter. This was a frequent post WCW Nitro/Thunder movie back during the Monday Night Wars. Featuring Keith David and Rowdy Roddy Piper, our host does not consider it the best Carpenter flick, but it maybe his favorite. If David had a role in "Big Trouble in Little China", it may not be able to cla...

CatBusRuss headed to GalaxyCon Des Moines to see if the capital of Iowa could help determine who was the baddest action hero(es) from forty years prior. 1985 was the last year where action movies were celebrated solely for being violent. One liners are fun, but chaos reigned supreme.

Sylvester Stallone may have had the box office with "Rocky IV" and "Rambo: First Blood - Part II", but this may have been the dawni...

CatBusRuss originally thought that this week would be a simple #RewindWednesday release, but as he was going through the "NinetyForChill dot Com - The Podcast" archives, he noticed that he had crammed a couple of classics from John Carpenter into the summer of 2022. So every other week this November will be dedicated to "The Horror Master", and this podcast will kick the theme off with what his friends would cal...

CatBusRuss & Faydra Black were going to amuse an ATL Comic Convention audience by gushing over the film that features Brandon Lee's final and finest performance, "The Crow". It is safe to believe that neither of them expected a packed room, but as our podcast host arrived after just concluding his first "1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match", he was surprised by the turn out. And then a FanX representat...

CatBusRuss had a four-movie marathon of sub 100-minute features that he intended to kick off the last week of spooky month. But since he currently has only one retailer to be responsible to, he had time to watch a longer flick or two. Lets just say Ryan Coogler's vision changed that plan. And our host had promised to go back to the Grid while it was still in theaters.

It cannot be the "Ninety For Chill: Discovery of 2025&qu...

CatBusRuss went to GalaxyCon Des Moines to once again preach the gospel of "Ninety For Chill". He is joined by Jess McCord from "Skies of Fortune" to further back his stance that modern movies are just too damn long, and to promote Jess's panel "A24: Horror Goes to the Art House."

It is a fun conversation that celebrates a shared love for cinema, so much so that there is not much space for audience ...

The past two Octobers have been tough for CatBusRuss. He stands by the concept, "If it's Halloween, it must be Saw", and after the brilliance of "Saw X", it sucks that we are still waiting for the 11th installment to what might currently be the most profitable horror franchise. Our host is hoping that going back to episode three of the original "NinetyForChill dot Com - The Podcast" feed will serve...

CatBusRuss went into GalaxyCon St. Louis a little bit on edge. He had the "Ninety For Chill: The Panel" and the third edition of the "1985 Action Movie Triple Threat" to prepare for with a virtual stranger who was crashing at his hotel room in Nix Eclips. Unlike GalaxyCon Des Moines, this podcast host did not have a day to relax, especially when he wanted that groovy autograph from Bruce Campbell. Good thing the...

CatBusRuss was given the honor to be a panelist at the first GalaxyCon St. Louis. For the second day of the convention, our podcast host is joined by 'Cinema Shitshow's' Nix Eclips to have another go at "Ninety For Chill: The Panel". And this time, they come sporting punch and pie.

Nix dedicated the day to worship at the altar of Bruce Campbell, but the queue was so long that he tried to cut some deals with those stranded in the lin...

It was CatBusRuss's pleasure to be invited to be a panelist on Jess McCord's panel at GalaxyCon Des Moines. The topic of said panel, A24's rich horror movie history and influence. But, perhaps, more importantly, is calling it "elevated horror" a good thing?

One half of the "Skies of Fortune" tabletop, role-playing game team put on quite a presentation, and must have his finger on the pulse of what ner...

Comic book writer and novelist Josh Nealis is on a virtual promotional tour for his latest book, "Cocaine-Stripper Stronghold: Issue 2", so a podcast called "I Dig Crazy Flicks" seems an obvious production to reach out to. His project's wild premise makes him seem like the ideal guest for CatBusRuss, but can these two demented minds talk about films that can reach the lofty expectations they carry with thems...

After the small audience at the Indiana Comic Convention "Ninety For Chill: The Panel", circumstances prevented screenwriter Chuck Thomas from "Atlanta Film Chat" meeting with CatBusRuss for a panel at ATL Comic Convention.Russ still wanted a chance to chat with one of Atlanta's best movie podcasters. So, it is only fitting for Chuck's cinematic wisdom to select a feature that fits the "Ninety For C...

CatBusRuss was too worn out to catch the "Josie and the Pussycats" reunion panel with Rachel Leigh Cook & Tara Reid, but he still had a handful of "I Dig Crazy Flicks" buttons to give out, so he made it to day three of GalaxyCon Des Moines. Just in time to catch the Q&A with Brian O'Halloran⁠ the star of "Clerks".

This was an insightful panel where our host was impressed about how active he is in film and television, and eve...

CatBusRuss may have missed the "Speed Friending" event as he recovered from the stress of making it to day one of GalaxyCon Des Moines (Never mind the stress of his personal dramas.), but he worked his promotional butt off and is damn near out of the con's "I Dig Crazy Flicks" buttons. This is thanks to the help of Jess McCord of the tabletop RPG "Skies of Fortune". The two guested on each others&#...

Barry Bostwick debuts "Making Megaforce", a documentary/love letter about a bomb of his from 1982.

Standout Adult Swim actors MC Chris & Dana Snyder gain a learning experience from their first attempt to record their podcast, "None of This Matters".

Out podcast host learns he may have to keep up with what the kids love after a well conceived panel, "Eternal Love: Vampire Media Renaissance", out draws...

For GalaxyCon Des Moines, CatBusRuss and the Dread Pirate Syzer from Skies of Fortune are going to be guests on each others' panels. Our podcast host thinks that maybe DPS got the easier assignment since he will just have to argue that the best movies are over 100 minutes in length at the "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Panel" (2 pm, Saturday, September 13). Russ, on the other hand, needs to quick...

CatBusRuss was able to participate in a lot of panels at ATL Comic Convention for movies that he loves, but one of those panels was for a feature not enough people have seen. He was honored to get to chat with the co-creator of the comic "Blood Orange", Tim Avers about Rian Johnson's 2005 debut feature, "Brick". Hopefully, the two were able to convince those who were early for the anime voice actor panel tha...

At ATL Comic Convention, CatBusRuss attempted to hold his own with "Star Wars" experts by being a panelist on "20 Years of Revenge of the Sith". He seemed to have held his own when discussing "The Last Jedi", but this third prequel of the Skywalker Saga may have held a more personal place in the hearts of his fellow panelists.

CatBus was joined by the hosts of the "Full of Sith" podcast, Bryan...

CatBusRuss may still be recovering from Fan Expo Chicago 2025. At 45 years-old, jumping into foam-sword combat for 45 minutes was too much since its been six years since his brief indoor soccer return, but not getting to contribute to the convention still pains him as well. Then again, you get to hear the nicest question John Cena has ever been asked in this episode, so he may have still won the weekend.

Our host could not have much...
