With Twin Cities Con this weekend, CatBusRuss is promising a lot of content for "Ninety For Chill" before next Wednesday. In the meantime, our host decided to make sure that all of the Stuart Gordon directed features that he has come across makes his current podcast feed.

"Robot Jox", "Castle Freak", and "Dagon" are all low-budget bangers. And after Russ brings up the 2013 no-budget stinker "Eternal Damn Nation", you will have a greater appreciation of the man who did the most to honor H.P. Lovecraft's horrors (and, to a lesser extent, Tommy Wiseau).

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.

⁠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 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.).

Based on some stalking of ThePoeticCritics's Letterboxd profile, CatBusRuss was able to get on the same page for an impromptu podcast recording in October 2021. What we get is a discussion of which "Dracula" was the better between Hammer's Christopher Lee and the director or "Short Circuits" Frank Langella. They have a conversation of all things Dracula before Francis Ford Coppola gave us the dimmest Jonathan Harker.

CatBusRuss was unable to secure a guest this week, but thankfully has some leads on some experts of spookiness. This left our host relying on his streaming services to warrant tax write offs for I DiG CRAZY FLiCKS. Here he discovered that after the "Twilight Saga", studios are making some wild choices when it comes to vampires on the big screen (43 inches and up).

Netflix had the official dawning of Universal's Dark Universe with "Dracula Untold". Russ's suspicions are soon met when it comes to PG-13 vampires as Luke Evans portrays Bram Stoker's titular character. This feature looks like it wants to show, "What if Sauron from Peter Jackson's Trilogy was on our side?" Laughingly, it is lots of bodies flying without viscera or proper lighting.

Paramount+ was only promoting two vampire movies, and the CatBus has already spoke of "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money's" excellence. So he watched the weirdly titled "V for Vengeance". To the producers' credit, in the age of mock busters, the nomenclature will bring eyes to it. Hopefully, those pupils will not be too miffed about getting the lightweight "D.E.B.S." of vampiric action instead of a dystopian England with Guy Faux masks.

This double feature is for those who are into schlock since Stephenie Meyer took more time establishing vampiric lore. Too bad the only thing these creatives took from her franchise is that the sun is no longer a curse. It is a major flaw because darkness, can hide poor fight choreography and only implies the gore your effects cannot deliver.

NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast is starting Michael Dubois's proposed Gene Wilder trilogy by discussing his favorite movie of all time, "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". At least, it was his favorite coming into these recordings. Can two ultra-left anti-capitalists watch a feature about the Howard Hughes of chocolatiers and leave with the same respect that they had for this feature as children?

After CatBusRuss reviews John Leguizamo's "Empire" our host and Michael Dubois resume their conversation about one of the most impactful children features in their lives, "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". The two discuss the charms of Gene Wilder that Johnny Depp could only wish for, and how they may allow a real megalomaniacal chocolatier to get away with the crimes against humanity that Roald Dahl's most famous character commits.

It is only appropriate that for episode 187, the podcast will be about films from a gangster rap founding father, Ice Cube. He is a man so hard, that you never see him get killed on screen. CatBusRuss verified this on the Cinemorgue Wiki.

This all stems around our host finding "Trespass" from 1992 on iTunes for $4.99. It is a movie that has Cube as fourth billed behind Bill Paxton, Ice Tea, and William Sadler. Not a bad place to be when the film is written by Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale and directed by the man who gave us "Streets of Fire" & "48 Hours", Walter Hill.

But O'Shea Jackson can lead a film, or at least share top billing with The Chick from "Species", Natasha Henstridge. With The Horror Master, John Carpenter, at the helm, surely you will be entertained by "Ghosts of Mars". If that is not enough this to sell this feature to you, "The Beekeeper" Jason Statham further stacks the cast.
