I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast with CatBusRuss
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 not be able to stick around for an entire second episode. With this said, 90-minutes (no more than 100) is the ideal runtime. This concise time has given us some of the most rewatchable movies that may not win any Academy Awards, but are properly fun-sized for the audience. That is what Ninety For Chill is all about, the fun-sized sweets be it experimental terror, outlandish horror, over-the-top action, or the most radical comedies and dramas.

CatBusRuss was presumptuous when it came to his knowledge about William H. Bonney, a.k.a. Billy the Kid. Our host knew that he was an outlaw with a legendary reputation as a gunslinger until the law caught up with and dispatched him at the age of 21. Thanks to The Cinema Snob, this podcaster also knew he defeated Dracula. His limited knowledge led him to believe that this icon of the Old West did not live a long enough life to get ...
There are still a lot of podcasts from the original "Ninety For Chill Dot Com: The Podcast" from 2022 that CatBusRuss needs to post on this feed, but with Gregory Carl pulling his weight as a promoter for "I Dig Crazy Flicks", reissuing an episode that he received feedback about seems to make sense.
The foul-mouth guest from last weeks "Companion" episode exemplifies what MTV's most recognizable characters of the nineties may have b...
CatBusRuss's favorite Michael Crichton film was 1973's "Westworld". He is also more of a Jonathan Nolan fan than his older brother. Gregory Carl is quite the well-read, sci-fi-loving truck stop employee in Central Illinois. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a tale he is fascinated by. Thus, "Companion" is a film the two should have quite an interesting conversation about.
Jeff Goldblum + Geena Davis + Jim Carrey = A great way to beat the monotony of shallow, capitalistic existence. CatBusRuss was his standard dower self going into the weekend while ThePoeticCritic was sour about the lack of cool guests going into the Chicago Con season. Needing summer to start now, CatBusRuss turned to an 80's camp classic he just never got around to, "Earth Girls Are Easy". TPC just happens to offer s...
CatBusRuss ponders if the Indiana Comic Convention appreciates that he has been promoting the fun of the 2025 event for nearly two months after it had concluded. The odds are looking good that he will be invited to sister con, ATL Comic Convention, near the end of July, so "I Dig Crazy Flicks" panel coverage does not seem to be hurting their opinion of him.
This podcast covers the last panel he "moderated". The p...
CatBusRuss had to do a lot of work to make sure it was still prom season. With horror features from the old Podbean feed, he prefers to save them for October, but with the day that will be the most like teen-comedies being near, it felt right to take the piss out of the event(s) he never attended with zombie comedy "Dance of the Dead" from 2008. He is joined by Mitchell Whitt of the now defunct "Morbidly Macabre Podc...
It is about 3:45 am on Stacia Hardin's Birthday. She happens to share that day with one of the most important days in the whole of nerdom, May the Fourth Be with You. The last time CatBusRuss saw her, she was playing nurse as his right wrist had just been surgically repaired, feeding him chocolate pie and giving him a comfort plush Ewok. Damn she was a truly a great person to let our host know that today was the day to release ...
The "Young Frankenstein" panel at Indiana Comic Con was another, "Let's see who volunteers," experience for CatBusRuss. Fortunately, he could not have asked for a better co-panelist than the Disney Imagineers' official magician/mentalist, Paul Draper. Would either of them claim to be experts about Mel Brook's film? No. But a pro-wrestler and Vegas entertainer surely would provide the audience an amus...
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&qu...
CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic definitely had two different experiences at 2025's Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. Our host's big sister was allowed to attend all three days while he just got frustrated with ReedPop entering the realm of gouging nerds. But, the two do have different personalities, so perhaps we will discover the common ground that still makes the C2E2 worthwhile.
Russ is more about panels and presenta...
CatBusRuss survived the blood loss, his social inadequacies, and the poor scheduling by ReedPop, and came out with quite a rewarding day at C2E2 2025. The new tattoo that is sure to upset the customers that mock him for wearing a face covering was the priciest investment. Outside of that, only spending a $110 at the con and $140 at New Japan Windy City Riot for collectables makes it seem like he won the day. On top of that, he was ...
CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic are a bout to hit the road once again to make their annual pilgrimage to McCormick Place for the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo b.k.a. C2E2. Thus, there is a lot of preparation needed for this trip, even if our host is getting locked out of the overloaded celebrity line up on Saturday. Despite the frustration, Russ wants to still get in the mood for the show and give the audience a paywall-fre...
CatBusRuss left Indiana Comic Con extremely honored by who he was able to share panels with. They were all inspirational.
In the event of the "Was 1985 the Greatest Year in Movies?" panel, he got to speak with filmmaker and founder of the Gal's Guide Women History Library, Dr. Leah "Riwo" Leach. Our podcast host may come off as a cinematic know-it-all, so it was great that he was partnered up with a feminist ...
With the lead up to CatBusRuss's attendance to Indiana Comic Con being based around the films of 1985, it only seemed appropriate that "I Dig Crazy Flicks" should further tease it on by reviewing all the features that the podcast covered from that year. Well, it will not include "Rocky IV" or "Commando", but those flicks are in the feed.
As long as it was not a sequel, 1985 was an interesting year f...
CatBusRuss and Gregory Carl survived their first two days of meeting in person and sharing a hotel room. If they managed that, surely they were able to give Indiana Comic Con a podcast to remember. The two are pretty sure their discussions about:
The ideal movie running time being between 70 and 100 minutes;
How great it was interacting with the mind behind the Full Moon Features magazine "Delirium" as well as Delirium Films, Chris A...
CatBusRuss and Gregory Carl had a great time in Indianapolis the past weekend for the Indiana Comic Con. In the case of our host, perhaps too much fun. By the end of the two nights, he was too partied out to create any of his traditional bonus episodes recapping his days at the convention.
Fortunately, there were five other panels he was on, and his fellow co-panelists had no issue with him pulling out the Yeti mic and Macbook Air t...
CatBusRuss has a busy weekend when it comes to Indiana Comic Con. He will be hosting a live recording of "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast" with friend of the show Gregory Carl on Sunday, March 16 at 4 pm (EDT), but he will also be a guest on panels about: bad sci-fi movies we love, "Tron", "Young Frankenstein", "The Last Jedi". Those are all cinema that he consider...
CatBusRuss welcomes back comedian Gregory Carl to the podcast. Mr. Carl was intrigued by the recent focus on bonkers movies over the strict 70 to 100-parameters of "Ninety For Chill" and offered to chat about Quentin Tarantino's primary contribution to 2007's "Grindhouse", "Death Proof". The premise of a sadistic stuntman with a killer car may sound crazy, but when you realize it is the same un...
Before we move on from Podbean, CatBusRuss wants to ensure that some of his favorite recordings will remain on the feeds of the major podcast apps (Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon Music). We return to month five of NinetyForChill: The #Podcast with what was first a two-episode conversation with Joe Golwitzer about the sub-100 minute filmography of Adam Sandler. The two cover nearly all of the feature that qualify for the show ("Bill...
The primary audience for horror movies has been told to laugh at itself once Kevin Williamson penned "Scream" in 1996. But as L7 wrote four years prior, "The Masses are Asses". Horror nerds were being treated to this message since the founding of Troma Films, but never so directly as in the Rolfe Kanefsky horror comedy, "There's Nothing Out There".
Nix Eclips from the "Cinema Shitshow" podcast suggested that CatBusRuss give the 1991...
