NinetyForChill.com: The Podcast

Episode 37: Dogs - Sacrifices for Sincere Cinema
(It's Easy to Keep a Good Dog Down).

A comedy of errors has left us with a brief installment to NinetyForChill. Inspired by George Miller's means to make Mel Gibson feel something in "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior", Cool Movies Darth addresses how you rarely go wrong by killing a dog on the big screen.

 

With the rushed nature of this episode, I would like to apologize to Stacia Hardin for failing to recognize her influence on the show and all the people who she touched.

 

It turns out that I missed my window for getting Andras from the Ta2squid Podcast on the podcast this month. Serves me right for screwing up the time zones the prior week. It looks like he is keeping up the quality content with a guest from "Ye Olde Crime Podcast". The two episodes prior were fun with his display of nerd culture, a guest from "Wheel of Horror" and an examination of "Poltergeist" with a genuine medium. What I am getting at is, I would like to have him on the show, and with my most recent episode coming in under 10 minutes, you should give his show a listen with the hour twenty I have freed up for you.

My back up plan was to see where Letterboxd stalking my big sister, ThePoeticCritic would take me. With my nephew's soccer game Saturday, I did not get the chance to binge a variety of movies the evening and morning prior to my visit. Thus, the only movie I managed to get in was "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior". She liked the movie, but action is not her favorite genre, so she did not have much to offer when I brought up the technical aspects of the feature. Pardon me for not referring to "Happy Feet", the only George Miller film the two of us had seen in theaters, to further inspire conversation.

We did have a good conversation about documentaries and plans on what spooky stuff we will be watching for October. Intercourse Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween" was a consensus. I may drop that conversation as a bonus episode. It does get goofy with discussing inanimate object horror movies, but I decided to see if I could get even goofier about one of my "Road Warrior" bullet points for this week's episode.

Statistically speaking, unless the pooch is the villain, your movie cannot help but benefit from a dog's demise. It gave us the second act of "John Wick". How would "I Am Legend" get to its third act? Were we too involved with Boomer escaping a fireball in "Independence Day", a movie that laid the groundwork for Rifftrax?

Pardon my callous nature, but until cats get better treatment on film, it is tough for me to not want the canine to be the heart string puller. I would have traded the brave ant from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" for Quark.

With that said, my Twitter account is @catbusruss. This is where I want your hate to be directed if you disapprove of my stance. Otherwise, positive feedback would be best displayed as subscriptions to my podcast and five-star reviews. Lets work that algorithm.

As for this month, I am looking for people who want to chat about horror movies for October. If you think you have a film or franchise that you are an expert on. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. Most franchises have at least on feature that will qualify for NinetyForChill. The runtime just needs to be between 74 and 99 minutes. We have four episodes to fill.

 

I have been asking for weeks for assistance in composing an episode dedicated to vampire features like "The Lost Boys" trilogy, "Near Dark", and the "Underworld" movies. Here is to hoping that this bunch of critiques will stir up some inspiration in my audience to step up and hold off on the garlic. If this is a topic you up for discussing, feel free to send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. All I need is a half hour on Zoom to get this done.

I hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast and I am open to any and all criticism. My biggest want is more guests and more suggestions on what to chat about (@catbusruss, russthebus07@gmail.com@coolmoviesdarth). If we can get 3 hours out of "Little Nicky", the possibilities are endless. Thanks for visiting.

 

After WrestleMania Backlash, I will tell you that we need to take zombie pro wrestling back. My suggestion is that we finally get my low-budget zombie movie, "Main Event of the Dead" off the ground. The script lacks a lumberjack match, so you know it has got to be better than the "Army of the Dead" advertisement. Ask for a treatment or give me suggestions on how to get it to a crowd-sourcing stage with an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.
