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

Gregory Carl returns to NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast to critique the movie that established the equation of Rutger Hauer + Action Gimmick = Low Brow Gold. 1989's "Blind Fury" was an early 90s' basic cable Cubs/Braves rain delay stand by. A blind sword-swinging Hauer vs. Randle "Tex" Cobb & Sho Kosugi screams entertainment. Why would you want to see the Cubs be the Cubs when the game resumed?

Pearl & an X-traordinary Announcement

CatBusRuss found Ti West's "X" to be a genius work of horror and satire, so of course he is pumped for the trilogy's finale, "MaXXXine", which comes out this Fourth of July Weekend (2024). But, if he does not watch the middle feature of the series, is he showing West the proper respect he deserves? We cannot have that, so our host finally got to this iTunes purchase, "Pearl: An X-traordinary Origin Story", just in case the ghost of the first film's mass-murderer shows up to close out the franchise.

As for the announcement promised in the title, CatBusRuss has gotten a chance to bring Ninety For Chill: The Podcast to Chicago's oldest comic con, Fan Expo. All the details thus far are discussed.

Mallrats with @CouchManBakes & @JayMewes's Vocabulary

Snoogans!

CatBusRuss and Andrew "Couch Man Bakes" Tiede have been meaning to cover Kevin Smith's filmography for some time, but did not know quite how to tackle it. Mrs. Tiede may have had some influence on the proceedings because we are only focusing on one film from the Jersey's auteur instead of taking her man away for hours to cover it all. The show's guest thought it was best to tackle what seems to be every millennials first step into the View Askewniverse, 1995's "Mallrats".

Our host, being able to see R-rated movies in theaters sooner, introduction to the Red Bank native's world was "Dogma", but good luck finding that feature streaming. Russ may consider selling his Blu-Ray for $150...may consider.

"Mallrats" is a movie that was 30 years ahead of its time. Perhaps it is because of Smith's insistence on writing the same type of movie during the last three decades. Only nerds and outcast talked about superhero coitus in the 90s. With geek now being chic, everyone talks like his characters and can relate to them. Or at least the podcasters do.
