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

CatBusRuss and Gregory Carl had a great time in Indianapolis the past weekend for the Indiana Comic Con. In the case of our host, perhaps too much fun. By the end of the two nights, he was too partied out to create any of his traditional bonus episodes recapping his days at the convention.

Fortunately, there were five other panels he was on, and his fellow co-panelists had no issue with him pulling out the Yeti mic and Macbook Air to record those conversations.

Russ's Friday started with a panel about the innovative computer-animation based films Tron and Tron: Legacy in anticipation for the upcoming threequel, Tron: Ares. He was joined by gaming expert and con crew member Ron Hernandez to see what Indiana loved about these to films and their hopes and fears about the Jared Leto movie that is due out in October.

"As long as it is not "Pixels"," was the general consensus. Everyone doubts that, so optimism was the vibe.

Preoccupied with 1985 & Indiana Comic Con

CatBusRuss has a busy weekend when it comes to Indiana Comic Con. He will be hosting a live recording of "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast" with friend of the show Gregory Carl on Sunday, March 16 at 4 pm (EDT), but he will also be a guest on panels about: bad sci-fi movies we love, "Tron", "Young Frankenstein", "The Last Jedi". Those are all cinema that he considers himself an expert in. But he grew up in a home that respected the MPA's ratings. Thus, he might not have strong enough knowledge about the films of 1985. He was only five at the time.

Dr. Leah "Riwo" Leach has invited our host to participate in "Was 1985 the Greatest Year for Movies". Is it just a celebration of the 40 anniversary of the cinema or does she intend to try selling it as a better year than 1982? To prepare himself for any scenario, Russ has caught up with some of the essential cinema from the year, and has composed a marathon from these flicks. "The Breakfast Club", "Death Wish 3", "Better of Dead", and "The Last Dragon"

Live from Indiana Comic Con 2025: Ninety For Chill - The Panel

CatBusRuss and Gregory Carl survived their first two days of meeting in person and sharing a hotel room. If they managed that, surely they were able to give Indiana Comic Con a podcast to remember. The two are pretty sure their discussions about:

The ideal movie running time being between 70 and 100 minutes;

How great it was interacting with the mind behind the Full Moon Features magazine "Delirium" as well as Delirium Films, Chris Alexander;

Recapping Russ Stevens's experience participating/moderating five other panels;

Gregory wanting our host to once again call out CM Punk.

At least the father with the "Sailor Moon" merchandise will not forget. The two did appreciate the politeness of his son.

Thus, it was another learning experience for "I Dig Crazy Flicks". CatBus has some new strategies coming out of this how to grow the podcast, so stick with the podcast to find out the next city he will take on. Starting with fighting against being slotted in the "Bottom of the Ninth so lets beat traffic spot".
