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 (perhaps 75, maybe 99) 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.

"Coraline" in 12 Parsecs with HappyBeebsMeowMeow
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. -
@BFest 2024 & ThePoeticCritic
B-Fest is a celebration of “The Best of the Worst” in motion pictures. That is a bit of hyperbole, and the Stevens 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).

From Dusk Till...Marathon with @CouchManBakes
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.

@HDTGM Pandering: Rollerball (2002), Jason Statham's Blitz + ThePoeticCritic
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, CatBusRuss is doing his homework. To further be on the same page as the HDTGM crew, CatBus went into his vaults to review ”Blitz”. To further emphasize the difficulties this podcaster is having, he did have another chat about the state of cinema with ThePoeticCritic.

3M Movie Marathon: Men of War, Black Mask 2, Stone Cold, Batman: Death in the Family
CatBusRuss 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. The line up of four fun-filled films is Ivan Drago vs Kano (95) in ”Men of War”, mutant-pro-wrestling allegory, ”Black Mask 2”, Brian Bosworth vs. Lance Henriksen in biker porn, ”Stone Cold”, and the DC Animated Feature ”Batman: Death in the Family”

Wonka, A Dangerous Method, and the Top Discovery with Shoes On
CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic discuss how the movie landscape has changed, be it offerings for the multiplexes or streaming services. Their primary concern: Where are the movies? Thank Viacom for keeping ”Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” on Paramount+. But what will happen in Paramount and WBD merge?
”Wonka” was impressed ThePoeticCritic, but Disney and DC movies are not bringing in the money that they use to. 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. He got to see ”X”, ”A Dangerous Method”, ”Saint Maud”, but most importantly, ”Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”.
Customer Reviews
Cool as heck
This is a cool and fun listen. He talks about a lot of different movies, it’s an unpredictable assortment, weird little dives into different pieces of pop culture. The reviews are helpful whether you want to listen or just get an idea of what the movie is as if you’ve seen it. And he’s just a cool charismatic host, nice to listen to, sort of normal guy, friend vibes to keep you company while you’re doing your errands and stuff.
