NinetyForChill - The #Podcast: "Spiral" from the Pod of Skimble

    

Skimble wants you to play a podcast


NinetyForChill.com: The Podcast

Episode 27: Spiral from the Pod of Skimble

(Skimbleshanks likes to emphasize the verb in his name).

@premierefr on PinterestThis is the first podcast that I was waiting for the film's home release to drop. My return to the cinema started with "Spiral: From the Book of Saw". Because I saw the last show in Champaign/Urbana, it did not make much sense to talk about this return to my favorite horror franchise until the DVD and Blu-rays dropped.

When I saw this film, there were only two other people in the theater. This feature was the number one film in the United States at the box office for two week, but still only grossed 35 million. In other words, people were not quite ready to go back to the theaters during, what I hope is, the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

With that statement, I think I have the plot for "Spiral 2". "Saw" works best when it has a message. The pro-socialized medicine tale gave "Saw VI" some extra charm. "Spiral" was ahead of the game when it came to All Cops Are Bad.

With the lack of people getting to the cinema, I feel I am definitely in the minority when it comes to the exposure of the flick. Thus, this podcast will be me just letting you know how I felt about this latest attempt to continue the IP. It is not "Repo: The Genetic Opera", but it has all the qualities that made Darren Lynn Bousman a reliable hand to helm a horror movie.
 
This may be odd for a podcast, but I think that I have avoided letting any spoilers slip. I apologize if you wanted all of the secrets revealed to help motivate you to possibly pick up the Steelbook release. It is a partial effort to allow me to grab one for myself. If it was not for Steelbooks, what is the current point of physical media?

Next week's show is looking promising as we focus on a couple action movies. It will be asked, why did Jean Claude Van Damme get to be the late 80's and early 90's reasonable budget action star instead of Dolph Lundgren.


I would not mind being a couples week ahead when it comes to content, so I would love to hear from you with ideas on what to chat about. Frankly, it would be honor to host you and find out about why you offered your incite. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com with a movie, theme, director, or actor. If you promise to center the topic around movies between 74 and 99 minutes, audio gold should be the product.
 
If you need some suggestions, movies like "Fear of a Black Hat", "UHF" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" can make for a great theme. ThePoeticCritic knew that Robert Downey Sr.'s satirical masterpiece, "Putney Swope" fits the pod's time restraints. There are also Tim Burton's early classics "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and "Beetlejuice". Or we could just focus on movies Danny Elfman scored.
 
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 (@catbusrussrussthebus07@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.
