Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss

About Ninety For Chill: The Podcast 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 experimental terror, outlandish horror, over-the-top action, or the most radical comedies and dramas.

   #GalaxyConSTL - Cosplay Guest Who, Movie Panels, "Supergirl" (2026)

   CatBusRuss (https://letterboxd.com/catbusruss) has returned to the Gateway City with ThePoeticCritic (https://letterboxd.com/thepoeticcritic) in tow for GalaxyCon St. Louis 2: Electric Boogaloo (https://galaxycon.com/pages/galaxycon-st-louis?srsltid=AYCX9vLHOOQ_opG1yHEPEunp1zPDWF0g9CZ4ga6oSg8-od_EyerLV9qm) (Per TPC). The two came down to Eastern Missouri to offer up the "1986: RAD Movies or Bad Movies (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0WtYMpBXE5rQNLgw1drhzV?si=7942cc66b7a14272)", but with only one panel to present, what else did they get up to to make the weekend worthwhile? For them, the big event will be a "Muppet Treasure Island (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117110/)" screening featuring live commentary from Kermit's performer, Steve Whitmire (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0926209/?ref_=tt_cst_t_6). The older sibling of the two has probably got her Saturday figured out until the screening while Russ (https://bsky.app/profile/catbusruss.bsky.social) is playing things by ear. This is probably how the brother and sister's planned to utilize the time before presenting a new take on the 1986 panel (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4qmDkjFnQgiLDvWXHUvkzI?si=c390ab4a174e4442). How did that workout for the first day of the con? For the CatBus, he checked out "It's a Movie Game Show" before his panel. The host, comedian Tyler Wood (https://www.instagram.com/tylerwoodcomedy/?hl=en), immediately knew not to bring up the resident cinephile as a contestant until time was needed to kill. St. Louis may not have as many movie historians as he expected, so Russ did get a time to wipe the floor with another con goer in a game that was like the Rob Lowe hosted "The Floor (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7914040/)". What was the topic? And speaking of "The Floor", after his panel and the purchasing of a cool "Labyrinth (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3YnQoD7DXy8uPboAoMQDyG?si=b7abc1770d0843b5)" t-shirt from Rob Reep Art (http://www.robreep.com/), CatBusRuss checked out the "Bad Cinema: The Top Ten Best of the Worst" panel hosted by legendary cartoonist, historian, and current contestant on the Fox game show, Joe Wos (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5472517/). The podcaster saw this panel at Wizard Wold 2019, and they both agreed it may need to be shaken up. Just do not expect him to bring up "Foodfight! (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249516/)", a feature that exploits his creation, Charlie the Tuna. It is a panel about fun bad movies, not the irredeemable. As for ThePoeticCritic, it seemed to be all about cosplay. She attended a "Guess Who? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who%3F)" inspired cosplay game before revisiting 40 year-old cinema. Afterwards, it was onto the cosplay-for-all pageant. Was she taking notes on how to upgrade her game to the pro-am level? May Russ suggest "Supergir (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8814476/)l" for her big sister to try out? She could pass for Kara's dying mother at the very least. (TPC is a Triumph: The Insult Comic, so she should let the joke fly.) With the release of "Clayface" this weekend, our host was happy that his friend Kelli chose to make the second film in James Gunn (https://open.spotify.com/episode/182M4Lje66k8hPXVvt7ZRy?si=38258061163c4678)'s DCU a watch. Did we need the downer origin tale? No. But if there is any legitimate hate towards the film, it is from those inflicted with misogyny. What cannot be harshly judged is ⁠⁠Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens. Our host is not a cookie fan, but this stuff taste great and leaves you feeling full quickly.

   "The Descent" (2006) with Tim Aver of "Blood Orange"

   It is not another convention panel, but CatBusRuss (https://letterboxd.com/catbusruss) and "Blood Orange (https://www.newdaynoir.com/)" comic book writer, Tim Avers (https://www.instagram.com/writeguytim/) are collaborating once again to celebrate another film's 20th anniversary. Claustrophobia, psychopathic friends, and hungry cave dwellers...Is there a scarier horror concept than Neil Marshall (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551076/)'s "The Descent (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/)". These two content creators met at Tim's "Knives in My Eyes: 20 Years of 'Brick (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Cuu3RjDP6OgFnWltBweNJ?si=1449d9e95c654e3c)'" panel at ATL Comic Convention (https://www.idigcrazyflicks.com/atl-comic-convention). It was a panel that lacked an audience, so the two were left to bounce off of each other instead of amusing fans. They were able to established chemistry quickly. As long as Tim has fun movies to celebrate, the podcast will be a slice of fried gold. Russ (https://bsky.app/profile/catbusruss.bsky.social) came to this movie off of revisiting of Marshall's debut feature "Dog Soldiers (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6YWbdQJrNDHeelPZEPolP1?si=cd3e75d7bdb84a74)", so he brought the knowledge of the auteur's tendencies. Tim brings the academic knowledge to the conversation. Our host is able to discuss mis en scene and learns how it can be applied to comic books from the author. In the end, CatBus just hopes he has inspired Tim to rewatch and perhaps comeback to discuss his favorite Marshall film "Doomsday (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0483607/)". Russ thinks a story that features a war between Scottish Punks and Renaissance Fair is certainly a winner. Tim was not that confident enough to agree without a rewatch. What is definitely worthwhile is ⁠Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens.

   The Condor Daughter: Bolivia's Best Picture 2026

   Thanks to Kelly Hargrave and Outsider Pictures (https://www.outsiderpictures.us/), CatBusRuss (https://letterboxd.com/catbusruss) received an opportunity to contribute to Hispanic Heritage Month by reviewing Bolivia's submission to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science for next year's Oscars (https://oscars.org) presentation, Alvaro Olmos Torrico (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8280488/?ref_=tt_ov_1_1)'s "The Condor Daughter (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37813097/)". Per Ms. Hargrave: It is a 109-minute Bolivian coming-of-age story about a teenage midwife's daughter torn between ancient tradition and big-city dreams, filmed in the Quechua-speaking Andes with non-professional actors. The performances provided by leads María Magdalena Sanizo (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17584185/?ref_=ttfc_fcr_3_1) & Marisol Vallejos Montaño (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17584184/?ref_=ttfc_fcr_3_2) left Russ (https://bsky.app/profile/catbusruss.bsky.social)surprised by the amateur status of the actresses. This feature is a touching tale about defending tradition despite its subjugation of women. Is it a tale about rebellion or just accepting your true self? Our host finds this feature to be something most Americans should be able to relate to. Hopefully, he is able to convince you to see this feature and understand what can be learned from it. It may not win the gold statuette in March 2027, but the feature itself is indeed a winner. If you are looking for a winning snack, ⁠Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens. Our host is not a cookie fan, but this stuff taste great and leaves you feeling full quickly.
