I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast with CatBusRuss

It is only appropriate that for episode 187, the podcast will be about films from a gangster rap founding father, Ice Cube. He is a man so hard, that you never see him get killed on screen. CatBusRuss verified this on the Cinemorgue Wiki.

This all stems around our host finding "Trespass" from 1992 on iTunes for $4.99. It is a movie that has Cube as fourth billed behind Bill Paxton, Ice Tea, and William Sadler. Not a bad place to be when the film is written by Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale and directed by the man who gave us "Streets of Fire" & "48 Hours", Walter Hill.

But O'Shea Jackson can lead a film, or at least share top billing with The Chick from "Species", Natasha Henstridge. With The Horror Master, John Carpenter, at the helm, surely you will be entertained by "Ghosts of Mars". If that is not enough this to sell this feature to you, "The Beekeeper" Jason Statham further stacks the cast.

#RewindWednesday: Don't You Forget About Don Coscarelli with Kodiak Thompson

"Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss" always opens with a legal disclaimer taken from "Phantasm: OblIVion" followed by the Angus Scrimm's laugh of the Tall Man. At this year's Chicago Fan Expo, our host tried to open his panel by requesting that someone give their best tribute to the late Scrimm's trademark "Boy!" The audience gave the panel a "what the hell is that?" look. So Russ, needs to make sure the internet knows the importance of Don Coscarelli.

When you need to mix up the themes and tones of your movies for spooky month, Don Coscarelli is a great auteur to turn to. CatBusRuss's introduction to this director was the nightmare fuel that is the "Phantasm". Kodiak Thompson's comes from the comedic craziness that is "John Dies at the End". Who can resist Bruce Campbell as an elderly Elvis Presley in "Bubba Ho-Tep"? If horror is not your bag, Doscarelli will still draw you in with one of his films.

#RewindWednesday: Willy Wonka vs. @GentleThemE & @CatBusRuss

NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast is starting Michael Dubois's proposed Gene Wilder trilogy by discussing his favorite movie of all time, "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". At least, it was his favorite coming into these recordings. Can two ultra-left anti-capitalists watch a feature about the Howard Hughes of chocolatiers and leave with the same respect that they had for this feature as children?

After CatBusRuss reviews John Leguizamo's "Empire" our host and Michael Dubois resume their conversation about one of the most impactful children features in their lives, "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". The two discuss the charms of Gene Wilder that Johnny Depp could only wish for, and how they may allow a real megalomaniacal chocolatier to get away with the crimes against humanity that Roald Dahl's most famous character commits.
