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 NinetyForChill.com is all about, the fun-sized sweets be it experimental terror, outlandish horror, over-the-top action, or the most radical comedies and dramas.
Episodes
Gregory Carl and CatBusRuss team up like the "Snyder's Justice League" to provide an introduction into the world of DC Comics' Animated Features. The two bring up at least 20 of these films, and for the most part, at least one of them will recommend each movie. Your hosts will also express how they got into these features and if you can take the short cut of watching these instead of reading the books that they ar...
Samara Weaving week continues.
Michael Dubois makes his return to the podcast to further express his admiration for Samara Weaving with a discussion about 2019's action satire, "Ready or Not". CatBusRuss goes into this thinking the film was a step down from the quality of "Bill and Ted Face the Music", but only a baby step. Is Samara the next Uma Thurman? We will find that out.
Michael Dubois comes back to the podcast to discuss the most excellent trilogy when it comes to doing fan service right, "Bill & Ted". If only Disney had thought about giving "The Rise of Skywalker" to Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters, the galaxy would be what Rufus and Kenobi would consider tranquil. What is there not to like about these films? There is casual homophobia in the first two, but it is fleeting an...
HappyBeebsMeowMeow (or just Beebs) returns to the podcast to discuss another one of her favorite movies, "The Princess Bride". A movie with Christopher Guest and Andre the Giant, how could CatBusRuss resist?
Ninety For Chill's guest said this was a feature that she knew so well, that she did not require a rewatch. To make sure everyone was in the right headspace, CatBusRuss had the feature running as the two discusse...
If there is a master of spotting subtle horror on Shudder, it is Gregory Carl. This week he suggested a film that has a horror-worthy premise with "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" featuring a 14 year-old Jodie Foster. It is a feature that turns the seemingly defenseless adolescent premise on its head while maintaining all that 1970s creepiness in all its glory.
Perhaps the episode should have been titled, "Are @CatBusRuss & @CouchManBakes the Reitmen to Go Ghostbusting" but the pun does not feel right. Would the billing order have been right?
With "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" being released this week, our host decided to get audiences prepared with all of Ninety For Chill's conversations about "Ghostbuster" movies where the lineup is not totally fema...
If it is a movie adapted from a video game, you may lure out the Ta2Squid. CatBusRuss welcomes a returning Andras Bodolai to Ninety For Chill: The Podcast for a chat about what is essentially the first attempt at bringing characters from a home gaming console to the big screen, "Super Mario Bros. (1993)".
Our host's first conversation with his fellow podcaster was about 2005's "Doom". Like the John Legui...
Inspired by George Miller's means to make Mel Gibson feel something in "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior", CatBusRuss addresses how you rarely go wrong by killing a dog on the big screen.
Hoping to be ready for "Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City", CatBusRuss revisits Russell Mulcahy's "Resident Evil: Extinction". This Australian-helmed feature allows him to pick the brain of ThePoeticCritic who...
ThePoeticCritic has always had a lot to say about the state of cinema at the moment, and she seems to appreciate the platform. The two siblings have a boundless conversation to address their favorite actors, the upcoming (2023) and previous Oscars, and hopes of fewer comic book movies.
As for movie reviews, CatBusRuss was able to watch Costas Mandylor of "Saw" fame star in a 2022 knock off of the franchise he is best know...
It is never too late to start the New Year. Some people hope to just get out of their comfort zone. That is the goal of Brandy Stonum, or should we call her HappyBeebsMeowMeow.
With a Twitch handle like that, watching a movie where a feline plays a big role seemed perfect. So CatBusRuss was able to bend the rules of the podcast a bit, Han Solo style, and allowed Henry Selick's Neil Gaiman adaptation, "Coraline", be th...
ThePoeticCritic and CatBusRuss take you on a journey ranging from the Criterion Channel's Saturday Matinees for the smart kids to the directors with obsessions of dreamlike environments. The Spanish animated gem "Nocturna" and Wes Craven's "A Nightmare on Elm St" serve as bookends to this narrative that does quite a bit of juxtaposition of features like "The Never Ending Story" and "Fear a...
Jeff Goldblum maybe NinetyForChill's "In case of fire, break glass" metaphor. It is an easy means to bring ThePoeticCritic back on the show to discuss a classic sci-fi feature. (With Jim Carrey's rubberface, we would be consider that to be syfy.) The guy who was the blue alien may draw TPC out, but Peter Weller seems to have an ability to capture CatBusRuss's attention. Throw in some Clancy Brown, and he will ...
