    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 the focus of the show.

    ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ has been trying to get one of his best Champaign/Urbana pals onto the podcast since about the inception of the show. The two chat about and have watched movies in each other's company over the past couple of years, so he thought content would come naturally. Our host thought the biggest issue was just finding a movie to fit the parameters of the pod, but people can just be nervous about putting themselves out there.

    This was probably true of ⁠Russ⁠ until he had to cut his first wrestling promo. There were just too many quiet goth wrestlers in Peoria. Creating a character was the only in he had.

    Brandy is a few weeks from bringing her Twitch channel online, so like our film's protagonist, she has to make the online world in her image and not have it handed to her. Hopefully, we can get her back on the podcast once her channel goes live, but until then, lets revel in her cinematic intelligence and patience when it comes to dealing with the ⁠CatBus⁠.

    For the first time since CatBusRuss started making the annual trip to Evanston, ThePoeticCritic accompanied her little brother to B-Fest. It is a celebration of “The Best of the Worst” in motion pictures. That is a bit of hyperbole, and the two siblings will try to support that claim with there recap of the events. B-Fest at least met our host’s expectations. Bad musicals (The Apple), some deep hurting (She-Devils on Wheels), kaiju (Tammy and the T-Rex), and roller skates (The Monkey Hospital). If only there was some classic action, but we will let the elder sibling speak on that (Runaway).

    Andrew "CouchManBakes" Tiede⁠ makes his 2024 return to "Ninety For Chill", and once again, the feature that he wanted to chat about was just over 100 minutes long. The feature is the ⁠Robert Rodriguez⁠ directed (and ⁠Quentin Tarantino⁠ co-penned) "⁠From Dusk Till Dawn⁠". This of course means that to cover this feature, ⁠CouchMan⁠ and ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ must partake in a marathon.

    For the most part, Rodriguez's movies have fairly tight runtimes, so our host should have had no difficulty coming up with a movie marathon dedicated to El Rey. Well, the Tex-Mex tinged James Bond tribute "⁠Machete Kills⁠" was just a couple of minutes too long. To assure that we still have a ⁠Danny Trejo⁠ triple feature before Midnight's main event, ⁠Russ⁠ chose to open the festivities with the Tarantino/Rodriguez produced, ⁠Robert Patrick⁠-led, vampire-themed bank heist flick, "⁠From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money⁠". To justify skipping "Machete", The Six Raven Movie House still programmed the original trailer with the first feature of 2007's ⁠"Grindhouse"⁠, "⁠Planet Terror⁠".

    Andrew has yet to program a quadruple feature for his Sasquatch Cinema House, and the trend continues. Unlike the prior marathon (⁠The Marathon: Child's Play, Wraiths, and Other THINGs⁠), he skipped trying to find three sub 100-minute movies and just chose bangers from Rodriguez's filmography. These are the third "El Mariachi" tale, "⁠Once Upon a Time in Mexico⁠" and his collaboration with comic book legend ⁠Frank Miller⁠, "⁠Sin City⁠".

    On paper, this could be a contentious podcast. We have Amber Heard versus Johnny Depp after all. If Andrew's triple feature was not enough, his cinema has just become 420 friendly. Surely it is better to go to the Russ's theater that now features an arcade for the kids? Of course, the two cannot get too heated once their shared love for "⁠Lucha Underground⁠" is discussed.

    So "⁠Ninety For Chill⁠" is addressing the ⁠Chris Klein⁠-led "⁠Rollerball⁠" remake. This obviously means the past couple of weeks have been a comedy of errors for ⁠CatBusRuss⁠. These faults include: car issues, difficulty finding guests for the show and balancing them with his dating life, and enduring another "far right" kick.

    Comedy is the key term in that paragraph. The "⁠How Did This Get Made⁠" movie podcast will be covering ⁠John McTiernan⁠'s "Rollerball" on Friday, January 26, 2024. To get the most out of this, our host is doing his homework.

    To further be on the same page as the ⁠HDTGM⁠ crew, ⁠CatBus⁠ went into his vaults to review "⁠Blitz⁠". This British police procedural stars patron saint of ⁠Paul Scheer⁠, ⁠Jason Mantzoukas⁠, and ⁠June Diane Raphael⁠'s podcast, ⁠Jason Statham⁠. In other words, ⁠Russ⁠ could not manage the time to see the latest Statham action flick, "⁠The Beekeeper⁠". Nothing seems to be working out for the overworked podcaster.

    To further emphasize the difficulties Russ has been having, he did have another chat about the state of cinema with ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠. Too bad the mics were not set up ideally. But the audio can be heard with a bit of static, so it maybe worthwhile to stick through this week's featured reviews.

    After two movies reviews and forty minutes of chatter, you also get to further participate in the burial of Chris Jericho. CatBus may need to get through the "Terrifier" franchise to be fair to The Ocho, but after "⁠Albino Farm⁠", he is left thinking that Y2J may not be able to provide any positive contributions outside of the ring.

    Hopefully everyone has had a great start to 2024. With all the festivities, finding a guest was going to be next to impossible, so ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ got a week off to relax. Or did he?

    These festive times means most people have little time, so our host had to make up for this with an action movie binge. This will be the closest to an ⁠Illinois Central College⁠ hosted ⁠B-Fest⁠. that we think you can find. ⁠Russ⁠ wanted to clear out some of the cheap and/or hard to find DVDs from his queue. From his past two February trips up to Evanston, he thinks he has come up with a quadruple feature that would make the Northwestern programmers proud.

    Not all of the flicks discussed will make the cut. If you want to learn more about Chris Jericho, stick around to the end for an "⁠Android Apocalypse⁠" review. In an attempt to get you ready for the CG chaos of "⁠Black Mask 2: City of Masks⁠", our host did revisit the 1996(9) ⁠Jet Li⁠ feature, "⁠Black Mask⁠".

    The final line up of four fun-filled films is ⁠Ivan Drago⁠ vs ⁠Kano (95)⁠ in the mercenary tale, "⁠Men of War⁠", the mutant-pro-wrestling allegory, "Black Mask 2", ⁠Brian Bosworth⁠ vs. ⁠Lance Henriksen⁠ in biker porn, "⁠Stone Cold⁠", and the choose your own adventure, DC Animated Feature "⁠Batman: Death in the Family⁠". Imagine how that can turn an audience on each other.

    All of the features can be found streaming (provided you want to spend $12.99 for BM2). The only way right now to watch "Stone Cold" is currently on Pluto TV via "⁠Rifftrax⁠". Here's hoping Bill, Kevin, and Mike's transfer is as good as my blu-ray.

    ⁠Ninety For Chill⁠ is closing out 2023 with some cinematic banter from ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ and his big sister discuss how the movie landscape has changed, be it offerings for the multiplexes or streaming services. Their primary concern: Where are the movies?

    Our host is more concerned about where to stream them. With the top electronic retailer deciding to stop selling physical media, ⁠CatBus⁠ is out to grab the remaining worthwhile steelbooks. Too bad Universal/Comcast is willing to license their features to other streamers. Peacock should be enough to watch "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". He is not going to subscribe to Netflix.

    Thank Viacom for keeping "⁠Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem⁠" on Paramount+. But what will happen in Paramount and WBD merge?

    ThePoeticCritic is more concerned about the movie-going experience. She explains how there just does not seem to be anything to draw people in most weekends. "⁠Wonka⁠" was her grand exception to the rule, but Disney and DC movies are not bringing in the money that they use to. Taylor Swift shows that people want events to attend. Where are those grand narratives that should take screens away from the Swifties?

    Despite the drama, we want to end the podcast on a positive note. At least Russ did. So he discusses his most recent binge to make sure he has all angles covered when determining the top discovery this year. The annual obligatory David Cronenberg feature is his adaptation of the play based on the book about the relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, "⁠A Dangerous Method⁠". Was it too grounded to take the top discovery spot from "⁠X⁠" or "⁠Marcel the Shell with Shoes On⁠"?

    If only a Cronenberg would direct an "Evil Dead" movie. "⁠Evil Dead Rise⁠" was excellent, but was it anything more than a reskin on "⁠Evil Dead (2013)⁠"?

    And to honor past guest of the show ⁠Jonathan "A Film to Fight For" Romeo⁠, CatBus watched "⁠Saint Maud⁠" as per the suggestion from "⁠Possessive Forces vs. #Cinemastodon's Exorcists⁠". Stick around after the chat with TPC to hear our host's critique of this high-concept, A24 horror.

    To conclude this year's edition of ⁠"AllysAccessoriesShop on Etsy⁠'s Trash Feature Revue", ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ does his best to pit two actresses against each other. The girl of his offbeat film preadolescence, ⁠Winona Ryder⁠, and the woman of his low-brow cinema adulthood, ⁠Milla Jovovich⁠. How did "⁠The Fifth Element⁠'s" Leeloo defeat "⁠Beetlejuice⁠'s" Lydia Deetz? How convoluted is this episode going to be?

    To add some cohesion to the closure of the Trash Feature Revue, our host decided to find a connection between Milla's and Winona's filmographies. The answer, ⁠Ben Stiller⁠'s "⁠Zoolander⁠". Jovovich is fifth billed and Ryder only has a cameo, but is more prevalent in the trailer. We can call that a tie, so whose film representing Y and # was better: The rom-com where Milla tries carrying ⁠David Krumholtz⁠ to stardom, "⁠You Stupid Man⁠"; Or the hippie movie led by a ⁠Kiefer Sutherland⁠ and ⁠Robert Downey Jr⁠. ensemble, "⁠1969⁠"?

    This could be messy because the Milla flick was introduced to ⁠Russ⁠ from the ex who was prior to Ally. Does this podcast compare his most recent relationships? Give it a listen and be as judgmental as you like.

    Who needs weird, Thanksgiving uncle drama when you can spend your post retail Black Friday vacation discussing the kids' films that traumatized us? Be it eventual trepidations towards animated musicals or live action films that tells Walt Disney's "Bambi" to "hold my beer" when it came to killing forest critters.

    With that being ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠'s suggestion for a podcast topic, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ thinks it was wise to open the show with a conversation about her trip to the most recent edition of ⁠Chicago TARDIS⁠. It is the "⁠Doctor Who⁠" convention that fills the void left by Rosemont's "Visions" comic con that ended 25 years ago.

    After reminiscing about how great viewing rooms were at conventions, the two embark on providing a brief history of The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon before they spent money on programming. For Nick, they filled the time with package features on Sundays. For the House of Mouse, the time was more than likely filled with imported children features like "⁠Dot and the Kangaroo⁠". But if you wanted real trauma, turn to pre-prime time HBO offering of a French nature drama, "⁠The Bear⁠".

    White washing the Australian Bush or wondering where the hell the American Humane Association was when there were live animals dealing with fates equal to those of Nicolas Cage in "The Wickerman", ⁠Russ⁠ left this binge with some reopened scars he never knew he had from childhood.

    The Thanksgiving season may have become the best weekend to catch a horror feature. Last year, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ was blown away by "⁠The Menu⁠". It was released the weekend before the most popular celebration of colonialism. This past weekend, another product of ⁠Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse"⁠ became a reality with ⁠Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving"⁠. Perhaps it is just the association with food that makes flicks released on this weekend work out so well...done.

    Of course, fans of that homage to exploitative cinema noticed that Roth's latest feature does not have the feel of worn film, grainy audio, and poor color saturation. The likes of ⁠The Cinema Snob⁠ found the "fake" trailer for this yet to be realized holiday slasher movie to be the best one thrown in between the double-feature. Could this premise be as much fun while being nice and polished...and without ⁠Michael Biehn⁠?

    In the event that was the case, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ decided to find some gold in "⁠Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy⁠'s Trash Feature Revue". Instead of watching a sappy Matthew Broderick feature, he chose to replace it with the 1989 anime, "⁠Wrath of the Ninja⁠". Ally never provided the letter X with a film, so our host decided to fill it in with what maybe the best A24 horror movie he has seen, ⁠Ti West's "X"⁠. Ninjas and Chekov's Alligator: If Roth misses, this podcast will still find a way to hit.

    After a very successful Spooky Month that carried into Veterans Day, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ felt it would be best to return to just reviewing movies this week. It was an opportunity to catch up on ⁠Ally's Accessories Shop of Etsy⁠'s Trash Feature Revue.

    As it turns out, we are in the home stretch when it comes to covering all of the DVD's ⁠Russ⁠'s ex-girlfriend bought him to ensure the podcast would have content for at least three years. Back when she would visit Skimble "The One Eared Angel" weekly, three discs per letter of the alphabet were provided to our host. This podcast is in its third year, so we are about out of the "gems" that she provided.

    Her efforts to represent each letter of the alphabet left some of the characters in better positions. In other words, we are out of T, U, and V (the last review was for "⁠Swingers⁠"). But, September and October's need for horror left ⁠CatBus⁠ jumping from the letter L ("⁠The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe⁠" [1979]) to the Letter P ("⁠Puppet Master II⁠"). So, to fill in for the missing letters, "⁠Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast with CatBusRuss⁠" returns to M, N, and O.

    Russ hopes that you will find at least two of these films to be charming. "⁠The Night Listener⁠" has strong ⁠Toni Collette⁠ and ⁠Robin Williams⁠ performances. "⁠The Oranges⁠" has a superb ensemble trying to carry a taboo May/November relationship tale. And some of you may have been charmed by ⁠Vince Vaughn⁠ in 2001's "⁠Made⁠". CatBus knows this because since he had friends who thought they should act like one of the characters that ⁠Jon Favreau⁠ wrote for Vaughn. This unacceptable behavior helped to hasten his move from Peoria to Downstate's Liberal Hotbed.

    It took longer than expected, but perhaps it is for the best since Veteran's Day is coming up. ⁠Sam Marsh⁠ is a fan of spectacle, so he returns to the podcast to discuss ⁠Christopher Nolan⁠'s war epic from 2017, "⁠Dunkirk⁠". ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ is not as high on the auteur as most seem to be, but since this feature is one that ⁠Quentin Tarantino⁠ deemed to be a ⁠rewatchable⁠, our host had to give it a chance. Fortunately, this is not "⁠The Night of a Thousand Cats⁠", the inspiration for the ⁠Til Schweiger⁠ character's name from "⁠Inglourious Basterds⁠".

    Being a fan of movies that have runtimes which tend to restrict spectacle, ⁠Russ⁠ has kind of found Christopher Nolan's recent attitude to be pretentious. With his protest over "Tenet" being released on streaming, our host thought that the idea of something being too cinematic was insulting to audiences' intelligence. If your narrative is strong enough, spectacle is secondary. Of course, that is the opinion of someone who aspires to be a screenwriter of small scale comedies. It has been suggested that direction is a skill that intimidates him.

    Sam seems to carry far less cynicism than our host. Russ enjoyed "Dunkirk", but we know he is far more likely to knit pick this feature. His guest does a great job of just telling him to appreciate the experience despite what he deemed as a lack of plot. This is why the best episodes of this podcast has someone to keep our host on track and off of tangents.

    But we all think that the American education system needs to place more of an emphasis and funding on the arts...right?

    Andrew "Couchman Bakes" Tiede⁠ returns to the podcast to discuss a third feature about THE actor of every kid who was babysat by a VHS tape deck, ⁠Kurt Russell⁠. The challenge being, Kurt's movies tend to be too long to be discussed on this show. But never to disappoint the audience, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ will allow "⁠John Carpenter's The Thing⁠" to be the primary topic. All the ⁠Couchman⁠ needs to do is come up with a horror movie marathon.

    These "quadruple" features are based on two themes that can be taken from what maybe ⁠Carpenter⁠'s most influential feature: Who can you trust? What is the killer?

    ⁠CatBus⁠'s Six-Raven Cinema House offers up 1956's "⁠Invasion of the Body Snatchers⁠" and 2011's ⁠prequel to 1982's classic⁠ to address the first theme. As for the second, he revisited the so rad its good flick, "⁠The Wraith⁠" starring ⁠Charlie Sheen⁠.

    At Andrew's Sasquatch Cinema House, the "Who" is addressed with a nerdier Elijah Woods versus aliens in "The Faculty". As for the what, how about the origins of Charles Lee Ray's after death adventures with 1988's "⁠Child's Play⁠"

    There is obviously a film missing from the Tiede showcase. Can he make up for it with the theater's new massaging chairs? Russ thinks that maybe too distracting. Perhaps you need to be the judge.

    It would not be #SpookyMonth for "⁠Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast⁠" if ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠ did not make her annual villainy felt. She has never been big for slasher movies, so it is Kaiju season. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ explores her opinions on the late '70s "⁠Godzilla⁠" movies and admits to light Letterboxd stalking. He just needed to know why she watched "⁠Billy the Kid Versus Dracula⁠". If only ⁠Ed Wood⁠ could have kept ⁠Bela Lugosi⁠ clean...

    As always when it comes to the ⁠CatBus⁠'s big sister, the conversation does devolve into a discussion about the current state of cinema. The two butt heads about "Wonka" and "Wish" again. How can she not respect the mere suggestion of an orange Hugh Grant and Alan Tudyk's hooved potential means box office success?

    Before all of that, Russ attempts to get the annual trip through ⁠Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy⁠'s Trash Feature Revue back on track with ⁠Danny Trejo⁠ versus an electrified ghost. "⁠Reaper⁠" also features ⁠Jake Busey⁠ and English treasure ⁠Vinnie Jones⁠. It is a bad movie gamble our host cannot resist.

  • CatBusRuss may be too old to be hip. He does not get the allure of Creepy Pasta. For our host, these ideas seem to be lazy attempts for older millennials to appear creative. They are just odd/disturbing images without any lore, a product of the ADHD era. To make up for the lack of depth, fans of the concept make themselves believe in it to hope to will these monsters into the zeitgeist. These efforts may have been better spent appreciating the tales of Stoker, Shelley, Wells, Lovecraft...

    But, these efforts may bare fruit. There is now a generation born into a world that has always had the Internet. Attention spans be damned. Generation Z can open up Chrome and find these creatures and phenomenon and declare them as the demons of their time. "We're All Going to the World's Fair" is a film that explores the effects that creepy pasta may have on the most impressionable among us, teenagers. Even the most cynical (CatBus) cannot deny this is an intriguing concept.

    Austin of "Take 'Em To The Movies, Austin!" brought this feature to Russ's attention. Jane Schoenbrun's film seems to really have connected with this week's guest who does his best to sell the movie to the jaded host. The two debate whether it is a deeply flawed feature, or the groundwork of the next great A24 career.

    In the case of the prior, CatBusRuss took the time to see what fun Shudder had to offer (and find a feature starting with "Q" for "Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Revue". The Shudder Exclusive "Quicksand" appeared to have the potential for chaotic fun.

    If Russ failed to deliver a great flick, maybe it is best to refer to Austin's opinion(s). https://takeemtothemoviesaustin.substack.com/https://mastodon.world/@auzzy

    Thanks to Jonathan Romeo, #SpookyMonth for "Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast" is officially in full swing. He suggested that if you want to talk about a feature that instills fear into the hearts of all, regardless of faith, "The Exorcist" is the film to chat about. This is a flick that CatBusRuss needed to see, but at 2 hours 2 minutes, how can this podcast be the place to discuss it? Fortunately both Jonathan and Russ are patient cinema fanatics, so devising marathons to build up to a main event is a task they are both up for.

    At the previously established Six-Raven Movie House, Russ offers up three films with different means of exploring possession. His triple-feature opens with John Carpenter's tale of space Jesus vs. gooey devil "Prince of Darkness". The second bout of the card is Ash Williams vs. The Necronomicon with Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead 2". And for a co-main event, our host serves up a Cronenbergian feature, from the son Brandon Cronenberg with 2020's "Possessor". Is there anything more chilling than letting an assassin claim you body and determine it expendable? Enjoy the snacks and popcorn while figuring this out.

    As for what is showing at Jonathan's Palladium, he gets straight to the Italian-sourced gore with Lamberto Bava's "Demons". This is followed up by tackling the faith he was raised on with Rose Glass's "Saint Maud". And his 10 o'clock show is a Ninety For Chill favorite, Paul W.S. Anderson's "Event Horizon". With a grill and fully stocked bar at his cinema, you should be ready to handle anything "A Mind on Fire" throws at you.

    Over the past year, there have been a few movies that CatBusRuss has recorded his thoughts about, but did not have the right episode to place them on. With films that peak his interests starting to roll out, will there be a place for these forgotten segments?

    "Saw X" was a film that our host would not miss opening weekend for, but from speaking to potential guests for the show, he might be one of the few that are excited for this sequel. So a little variety in gory features might be needed to make this episode interesting for everyone. This week, the man who flunked logic, calculus, and data structures in the same semester decides to take a swing at cinema math.

    "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth" and "The Expendables 2" were two flicks he skipped publishing the prior week. They were meant for that weeks "Expend4bles" podcast. Russ's plan was to find a fifth entry to a franchise to round out that episode, but he just now got his hands on a copy of "Hellraiser: Inferno". So, to get to the number 10 this week, the sum of the sequels mentioned get multiplied by a part of Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Revue, "Puppet Master II".

    X=(III+II)II or 10=(3+2)2. At least he did not try to tie these movies to "The Number 23".

    September is finally offering CatBusRuss the schlocky cinema that inspired the creation of this podcast. You can have your MCU, give Russ gory action and horror movies. Show him what Tony Stark should have looked like after the third Snap. Time was going to made to get to “Expend4bles”. It is gruesome and fun, but creatively gutless. To remedy this and finish out his Netflix DVD subscription, our host watched an actor who did not return to the quadrilogy, Jet Li. This feature was “Unleashed”. And let’s acknowledge it now, Bob Hoskins is a stronger baddie than Andy Garcia.

    ⁠"Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast with @CatBusRuss"⁠ offers the world the ultimate questionable quadruple feature. If it was between 70 and 100 minutes in length and directed by ⁠Ken Russell⁠ during the '80s, it is here. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠'s weekend binge features the body horror classic "⁠Altered States⁠", Russell's reimaginings of 19th century British literature in "⁠Gothic⁠" and "⁠Salome's Last Dance⁠", and ⁠Hugh Grant⁠ and ⁠Peter Capaldi⁠ battle with a snake vampiress in "⁠The Lair of the White Worm⁠".

    Weird things happen when our host gets ghosted. Aside from watching Ken Russell's "Altered States" to clear up his Netflix DVD queue before the service ends, CatBusRuss did not have much of a plan for what this week's episode would be about. Presuming that he would have a date on his day off, the best he thought he could do was watch "Lisztomania" to provide the audience with the entire range of craziness the director of "Tommy" had to offer.

    And then, no response from the lass he had been chatting up through her bout with Covid. Add into the equation that the phallic ode to an early 20th century German composer was not streaming anywhere for free. Russ's response to these difficulties, lets watch all of the '80s Russell that meet the criteria of the podcast.

    FanExpo Chicago was lacking plentiful after hour activities, so after night two of the convention, CatBusRuss and his big sister decided to check out Greta Gerwig’s take on Mattel’s toy icon, “Barbie”. This is a fun recording since it it leaves us with a “Siskel & Ebert” feel. The two siblings get to focus on how this fun, educational takedown of the patriarchy left them feeling. If that is not enough embracing of the joy of motion pictures, our hosts get to argue about how the end of 2023 movies look and will end up.

    With the Labor Day holiday, CatBusRuss decided not to hassle anyone about recording a podcast with him. But because he went it alone last week, our host decided that classic conversations was what this week needed. When it comes to classic conversations on this podcast, you can usually count on ThePoeticCritic to come through.

    Until B-Fest 2024, this episode effectively completes the preservation of the back catalog from the original Podbean for "Ninety For Chill". ThePoeticCritic helped her little brother out a lot with the first year of the show. Was it being nice, or was it to have a platform about why #FilmTwitter is the pits and how we need to listen to Martin Scorsese and prevent Hollywood's overlords from trapping Wes Anderson into fueling their IP machines. For two weeks in the summer of 2021, this was her platform.
