CatBusRuss⁠ and ThePoeticCritic discuss how the movie landscape has changed, be it offerings for the multiplexes or streaming services. Their primary concern: Where are the movies? Thank Viacom for keeping ”⁠Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem⁠” on Paramount+. But what will happen in Paramount and WBD merge? ”⁠Wonka⁠” was impressed ThePoeticCritic, but Disney and DC movies are not bringing in the money that they use to. Where are those grand narratives that should take screens away from the Swifties? Despite the drama, we want to end the podcast on a positive note. At least Russ did. He got to see ”X”, ”A Dangerous Method”, ”Saint Maud”, but most importantly, ”Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”.

To add some cohesion to the closure of the ”AllysAccessoriesShop on Etsy⁠’s Trash Feature Revue”, CatBusRuss decided to find a connection between Milla Jovovich and Winona Ryder’s filmographies. The answer, ⁠Ben Stiller⁠’s ”⁠Zoolander⁠”. We can call that a tie, so whose film representing Y and # was better: The rom-com where Milla tries carrying ⁠David Krumholtz⁠ to stardom, ”⁠You Stupid Man⁠”; Or the hippie movie led by a ⁠Kiefer Sutherland⁠ and ⁠Robert Downey Jr⁠. ensemble, ”⁠1969⁠”?

ThePoeticCritic and CatBusRuss embark on providing a brief history of The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon before they spent money on programming. For the House of Mouse, the time was more than likely filled with imported children features like ”⁠Dot and the Kangaroo⁠”. But if you wanted real trauma, turn to pre-prime time HBO offering of a French nature drama, ”⁠The Bear⁠”. With that being ⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠’s suggestion for a podcast topic, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ thinks it was wise to open the show with a conversation about her trip to the most recent edition of ⁠Chicago TARDIS⁠. It is the ”⁠Doctor Who⁠” convention that fills the void left by Rosemont’s ”Visions” comic con that ended 25 years ago.

Fans of the ”Grindhouse” noticed that Eli Roth’s latest feature, ”Thanksgiving”, does not have the feel of worn film, grainy audio, and poor color saturation. Could this premise be as much fun while being nice and polished...and without ⁠Michael Biehn⁠? In the event that was the case, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ decided to find some gold in ”⁠Ally’s Accessories Shop on Etsy⁠’s Trash Feature Revue”. He chose the 1989 anime ”⁠Wrath of the Ninja⁠”. Ally never provided the letter X with a film, so our host decided to fill it in with what maybe the best A24 horror movie he has seen, ⁠Ti West’s ”X”⁠.

Help NinetyForChill: The #Podcast get away from paywalls by subscribing to ”Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss”. After a very successful Spooky Month that carried into Veterans Day, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ felt it would be best to return to just reviewing movies this week. It was an opportunity to catch up on ⁠Ally’s Accessories Shop of Etsy⁠’s Trash Feature Revue. As it turns out, we are in the home stretch when it comes to covering all of the DVD’s ⁠Russ⁠’s ex-girlfriend bought him to ensure the podcast would have content for at least three years. Back when she would visit Skimble ”The One Eared Angel” weekly, three discs per letter of the alphabet were provided to our host. This podcast is in its third year, so we are about out of the ”gems” that she provided. Her efforts to represent each letter of the alphabet left some of the characters in better positions. In other words, we are out of T, U, and V (the last review was for ”⁠Swingers⁠”). But, September and October’s need for horror left ⁠CatBus⁠ jumping from the letter L (”⁠The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe⁠” [1979]) to the Letter P (”⁠Puppet Master II⁠”). So, to fill in for the missing letters, ”⁠Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast with CatBusRuss⁠” returns to M, N, and O. Russ hopes that you will find at least two of these films to be charming. ”⁠The Night Listener⁠” has strong ⁠Toni Collette⁠ and ⁠Robin Williams⁠ performances. ”⁠The Oranges⁠” has a superb ensemble trying to carry a taboo May/November relationship tale. And some of you may have been charmed by ⁠Vince Vaughn⁠ in 2001’s ”⁠Made⁠”. CatBus knows this because since he had friends who thought they should act like one of the characters that ⁠Jon Favreau⁠ wrote for Vaughn. This unacceptable behavior helped to hasten his move from Peoria to Downstate’s Liberal Hotbed.

Sam Marsh⁠ is a fan of spectacle, so he returns to the podcast to discuss ⁠Christopher Nolan⁠’s war epic from 2017, ”⁠Dunkirk⁠”. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ is not as high on the auteur as most seem to be, but since this feature is one that ⁠Quentin Tarantino⁠ deemed to be a ⁠rewatchable⁠, our host had to give it a chance. Fortunately, this is not ”⁠The Night of a Thousand Cats⁠”, the inspiration for the ⁠Til Schweiger⁠ character’s name from ”⁠Inglourious Basterds⁠”.

Andrew ”Couchman Bakes” Tiede⁠ returns to the podcast to discuss 1982’s ”John Carpenter’s The Thing”. Kurt Russell tends to star in movies that are too long for the podcast, but CatBusRuss will allow it, provided that Couchman comes up with a movie marathon to accompany it. CatBus’s Six-Raven Cinema House brings ”The Thing (2011)”, ”The Wraith”, and ”Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)”.Couchman brings ”The Faculty”, ”Child’s Play (1988)”, and massaging chairs for the Sasquatch Cinema House. Is that new amenity enough to make up for a lack of a 6 pm feature?

⁠ThePoeticCritic⁠ has never been big for slasher movies, so #SpookyMonth is Kaiju season. ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ explores her opinions on the late ’70s ”⁠Godzilla⁠” movies and admits to light Letterboxd stalking. As always when it comes to the ⁠CatBus⁠’s big sister, the conversation does devolve into a discussion about the current state of cinema. The two butt heads about ”Wonka” and ”Wish” again. Before all of that, Russ attempts to get the annual trip through ⁠Ally’s Accessories Shop on Etsy⁠’s Trash Feature Revue back on track with ⁠Danny Trejo⁠ versus an electrified ghost in ”⁠Reaper⁠”

There is now a generation born into a world that has always had the Internet. Attention spans be damned. Generation Z can open up Chrome and declare Creepy Pasta as the demons of their time. ”We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” is a film that explores the effects of these creations may have on the most impressionable among us, teenagers. Even the most cynical (CatBusRuss) cannot deny this is an intriguing concept. Austin of ”Take ’Em To The Movies, Austin!” seems to really have connected with this film and does his best to sell the movie to the jaded host. The two debate whether it is a deeply flawed feature, or the groundwork of the next great A24 career. As a bonus, CatBusRuss took the time to see the Shudder Exclusive ”Quicksand”. It appeared to have the potential for chaotic fun.

Thanks to Jonathan Romeo, #SpookyMonth for ”Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast” is officially in full swing. He suggested that if you want to talk about a feature that instills fear into the hearts of all, regardless of faith, ”The Exorcist” is the film to chat about. To justify this conversation about a two hour movie, Jonathan and CatBusRuss create a marathon of sub-100 minute movies with the similar theme of possession. Take your pick of the better triple-feature. Russ’s line up of ”Prince of Darkness”, ”Evil Dead 2”, and ”Possessor or Jonathan’s card of ”Demons”, ”Saint Maud”, and ”Event Horizon”.

”Saw X” was a film that our host would not miss opening weekend for, but from speaking to potential guests for the show, he might be one of the few that are excited for this sequel. So a little variety in gory features might be needed to make this episode interesting for everyone. ”Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth” and ”The Expendables 2” were two flicks he skipped publishing the prior week. To get to the number 10 this week, the sum of the sequels mentioned get multiplied by ”Puppet Master II”.

You can have your MCU, give Russ gory action and horror movies. Show him what Tony Stark should have looked like after the third Snap. Time was going to made to get to “Expend4bles”. It is gruesome and fun, but creatively gutless. To remedy this and finish out his Netflix DVD subscription, our host watched an actor who did not return to the quadrilogy, Jet Li. This feature was “Unleashed”. And let’s acknowledge it now, Bob Hoskins is a stronger baddie than Andy Garcia.
