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.

    Live From Twin Cities Con 2024 - Ninety For Chill: The Panel

    CatBusRuss's Blue Snowball was enough to capture the vibe of 2024's Twin Cities Con. Our host and his big sister, ThePoeticCritic introduced Minneapolis to "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast" and after a little time, they got a pretty good crowd who were more than willing to give the two some "Wahoos". Of course, Russ did not have his resources to recall that Crowley quote correctly, so it may have just been some woohoos. As the worm in "Labyrinth" would say "But that's close enough". It turned out to be an opposing conversation between the two siblings. CatBus wanted to play up his LLC "I Dig Crazy Flicks" and talk about sub 100-minute movies that are bonkers. His elder wanted to focus on why movies are just too long. The audience seemed to agree with her thesis, and the Gen Z kids were behind it with commentary like "how hard is it to kill one shark?" Hopefully, the kids will be inspired to check out the Stevens siblings discussing why movies that were released before 1975 are still artistically relevant. The audience did not appear to think that they were too harsh on the MCU. All in all, these two Peorians were able to come out victorious. Their panel's supervisor stated that they were given the worst time slot being booked up against Hayden Christensen. With a score of people at the end, the two kicked the Dark Side in the balls.

  2. Twin Cities Con 2024: Booze, Brian, "Bone and Blood"

    5 DAYS AGO · BONUS

    Twin Cities Con 2024: Booze, Brian, "Bone and Blood"

    CatBusRuss wraps up the last two days of Twin Cities Con and does his best to provide drunken affirmations to his guest for "Ninety For Chill: The Panel", ThePoeticCritic. This may have been the most patience his big sister ever displayed to him. Our host decided to open this bonus episode of the podcast with tales of day three of the con, which was not much more than the Brian Posehn and some shopping. This decision was made after he listened to his drunken audio to make sure it was usable. As it turns out, Russ failed to talk about the day two "Hazbin Hotel" panel during that recording, so at least day three chatter is more than asking Brian about not getting to curse in his "Deadpool" comic book run. As for day two, the two siblings talk about how well they thought the panel went and a panel that our host attended about what makes "Junk Food Cinema". This at least kept his mind off of the lousy karaoke and security set up. So we have the Brian and the Booze, where's the blood and bone? Well, to justify the Netflix write off, CatBus went and reviewed the 2009 Michael Jai White action flick "Blood and Bone". It is like "Lionheart" but without JCVD's tears.

  3. Twin Cities Con 2024 - Day 1: Vampire in Brooklyn (Park, MN)

    NOV 9 · BONUS

    Twin Cities Con 2024 - Day 1: Vampire in Brooklyn (Park, MN)

    CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic have settled into Minneapolis to prepare for "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast" at Twin Cities Con. Of course they are taking advantage of the weekend passes they were provided in exchange for the fried gold they are to deliver on Saturday, November 9. ThePoeticCritic was content with the floor, a "What If...Doctor Who" panel, and karaoke. CatBus was scouting out other podcaster panels to prepare for his own. Be it a discussion of what makes a truly evil yet lovable villain, a Christian-themed nerd podcast being hijacked by the amateur Pokemon casters, our host thinks he has everything needed to be prepared for his time on stage. But speaking of evil, Emperor Palpatine himself had a panel. Ian McDiarmid had a lot of fun talking about the joys of the stage and working with George Lucas. If anything was off limits, it was dealing with the current state of politics. It kind of makes you wish that Trump actually watched movies. We would have gotten to this hellscape a lot sooner and have the rebellion prepared. If there was anything more sinister than Darth Sidious, it was the layout of Twin Cities Con. To not think about that, Russ has included his review of Wes Craven's "Vampire in Brooklyn" starring Eddie Murphy. Lets hope that Saturday will be all sunshine and rainbows. Russ was once pro-wrestling's Sith Lord. The audience best be kind.

  4. #RewindWednesday: The Brilliance of Stuart Gordon

    #RewindWednesday: The Brilliance of Stuart Gordon

    With Twin Cities Con this weekend, CatBusRuss is promising a lot of content for "Ninety For Chill" before next Wednesday. In the meantime, our host decided to make sure that all of the Stuart Gordon directed features that he has come across makes his current podcast feed. "Robot Jox", "Castle Freak", and "Dagon" are all low-budget bangers. And after Russ brings up the 2013 no-budget stinker "Eternal Damn Nation", you will have a greater appreciation of the man who did the most to honor H.P. Lovecraft's horrors (and, to a lesser extent, Tommy Wiseau).

  5. "Labyrinth" or What My Niece Called "Bowie: The Movie" with HappyBeebsMeowMeow

    "Labyrinth" or What My Niece Called "Bowie: The Movie" with HappyBeebsMeowMeow

    It was not a very scary "spooky month" for "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast", but CatBusRuss can deliver on finding guests who can provide monsters to enjoy. Brandy "HappyBeebsMeowMeow" Stonum returns to the podcast to discuss her favorite movie of all time, "Labyrinth" from Jim Henson. Brandy remembers this film fondly. She was only two when the film came out in 1986, but it had such an impact on her family that her little brother was named Jareth, the character portrayed by the father of modern alternative rock, David Bowie. As for the lasting impact on Russ and his older sister, ThePoeticCritic, this was the two's first real exposure to this musical god, but more importantly, The Muppets (more accurately, Jim Henson's Creature Shop) as a source of drama. It also may have prepped them for Mom's love of anything English as Terry Jones's script left them in a good place to appreciate "Monty Python's Flying Circus". And of course, as many suggest, all parties involved with this episode consider the children's feature to be a catalyst of sexual awakening. Those wardrobe choices will be discussed.

  6. #RewindWednesday: Venom 2 & Event Horizon - Teased Carnage & True Carnage

    #RewindWednesday: Venom 2 & Event Horizon - Teased Carnage & True Carnage

    ⁠CatBusRuss⁠⁠ will be honest. Between Kaiju and Hammer Dracula, this spooky season has not been to scary on "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast⁠". With it being a Rewind Wednesday, our host decided that his and Kodiak Thompson's conversation about ⁠Paul W.S. Anderson⁠'s greatest feature, "⁠Event Horizon⁠" might set things straight. And then ⁠Russ⁠ considered that a new "⁠Venom⁠" feature is being released this week. He felt it was only appropriate to get his listeners prepared for it by recapping the seemingly missable, "⁠Venom: Let There Be Carnage⁠". He thought it was a fun flick, but when the alien-symbiote got a hold of glow sticks, the thoughts of ⁠Joel Schumacher⁠'s ghost taking the reigns of the franchise were scarier that anything the Anderson's space hell could offer.

    "The Return of Godzilla (aka 1985) with Eva & ThePoeticCritic

    The King of Monsters demands his spot in spooky month. ThePoeticCritic returns to Ninety For Chill to discuss what is truly scary about kaiju. International politics and Western adaptations. CatBusRuss gets to learn the history of "The Return of Godzilla", a legacy sequel/reboot of the Toho franchise. The two discuss whether or not the giant monsters are only scary to kids, the under appreciated influence the big guy had on America filmmaking, the necessity of practical effects, and where the hell the money that Yankee producers are throwing at movies is going. "Godzilla Minus One" only cost $15 million to make and featured Oscar-winning special effects. Why did "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" cost 10 times that? We suppose the "X" does represent multiplication (Thanks Jessica Ritchey.).

    #RewindWednesday: Dracula 58 v. Dracula 79 with ThePoeticCritic

    Based on some stalking of ThePoeticCritics's Letterboxd profile, CatBusRuss was able to get on the same page for an impromptu podcast recording in October 2021. What we get is a discussion of which "Dracula" was the better between Hammer's Christopher Lee and the director or "Short Circuits" Frank Langella. They have a conversation of all things Dracula before Francis Ford Coppola gave us the dimmest Jonathan Harker.
