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

⁠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.).

"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.
