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 quickly become an expert in A24 movies for the Dread Pirate's "A24: HORROR GOES TO THE ARTHOUSE" (8 pm, Saturday, September 13). Thus, this episode of "I Dig Crazy Flicks" (only one feature fits the ideal runtime between 70 and 100 minutes) focuses on his four-movie, preparation binge.
After receiving a list of movies from the panel host, CatBus was relieved that he had covered many of these films on this podcast ("Saint Maud", "X", "Pearl", "MaXXXine", "We're All Going to the World's Fair"). He also saw "The Witch" when it arrived at RedBox and you know he has seen every Kevin Smith movie, so "Tusk" did not need to be re-queued.
The films that he picked for this binge all had something to entice him except for one. Ari Aster maybe the name best associated with elevated horror, but CatBusRuss was always suspicious of this. When it comes to elevated, Russ thought it meant the runtime in Aster's case. Therefore, he chose to watch "Midsommar", the one with the middle range of his features (148 minutes).
As for the three enticing flicks, the cast of "Death of a Unicorn" is stacked. CatBusRuss has yet to see a bad Alex Garland movie, so "Men" felt like a wise choice. (We may speak about "Ex Machina" at the panel.) Who does not like Hugh Grant's other forays into horror (like "The Lair of the White Worm")?
