CatBusRuss and Collateral Cinema's Beau Maddox have been interacting with each other since our host joined Bluesky. Over the past week, they finally have found a feature that the two felt good about collaborating on. "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss" has covered Paul WS Anderson's "Mortal Kombat" before, but that was to pay tribute to French action star Christopher Lambert. Beau and Russ will take a look at this beloved feature from all angles. The effects that still hold up, the less is more style of direction, and the charm of special effects that do not hold up after 4K TV's came into existence.

Does this lead to the conclusion that the nineties, with hindsight, were a good time for video game film adaptations? Is Hollywood still underutilizing Cary-Hiroyuki Togawa and Linden Ashby? Should this script been delivered to John Carpenter?

We discover the two have their polarizing opinions of the work of Tom Green, so we quickly learn that conversational fireworks maybe a possibility. Perhaps it is that heat that lead to the pod's technical difficulties and not Beau's phone overheating. Russ hopes that throwing in his review of Sylvester Stallone's "Escape Plan: The Extractors" will be an adequate apology for those issues.

"Frankenstein (2015)", "The New Mutants", "Johnny Handsome", "The Order (2001)", and "The Colony (2013)". These are under appreciated morsels found in the troughs that are used video stores. "Twilight" is the evening's third shot of Jeppson's Malort.

When you go to a second hand movie/video game store, you have to be prepared to settle. If it is a good film or electronic masterpiece, why would it be resold? The best stuff is typically too pricey if it is even available. To thrive in this environment, you need to be like a raccoon. It all may look like trash, but with so much stuff, some of it has to be tasty.

This is how "Ally's Accessories Shop of Etsy's Trash Feature Revue" became part of "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast". CatBusRuss's best friend in the East Central Illinois, Ally Higgins wanted to help out the show when it was starting up. Her idea, find weird under 100-minute to provide the podcast with content. Being more than friends at one point, she knows our host's pain threshold, so surely he could find fried gold amongst the cinematic rot.

And this is why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is the top trivia team in Downstate Illinois. James Slunder comes to the rescue to make sure CatBusRuss does the month of Ani-May right. The team's self-proclaimed anime expert suggested our host watch the prequel to the "Jujutsu Kaisen" television series, the 2021 motion picture "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

The result of this suggestion is a clash between generations of fandom. We use the term self-proclaimed expert to describe James because he was not around during the days of Streamline Pictures/Central Park Media and multicolored VHS tapes. Our host feels there has to be something from his tape collecting days that gives him the edge when it comes to being an otaku.

Anime has become a lot brighter and more colorful, and CatBus may sound like an old man shouting at clouds because it is too busy for it to have that nineties, Suncoast charm. He also did not watch many magical high school themed cartoons.

Fortunately, JJK0 (James says that is what the cool kids call it.) is "Harry Potter" on steroids. Who needs Quidditch when you wield a cursed katana alongside a giant, anthropomorphic Panda and a classmate whose voice is cursed to the point that he can only safely speak in rice ball ingredients. And of course you have some "will they, won't they" relationship to tease some tension. This is how they needed to sell the third "Fantastic Beast" flick.

Ninety For Chill's Guide to Shudder, "The Mudshow's" Gregory Gathmann needed five beers and someone to chat about Phil Tippett's magnum opus "Mad God", so he came to CatBusRuss. The two were impressed with this dialogue-free, stop-motion, animated feature that took 30 years to make, but what does it mean? Is it good cinema or merely superb visual art? These two podcasters try to make sense of this feature and perhaps even their lives.

Gregory Carl and CatBusRuss team up like the "Snyder's Justice League" to provide an introduction into the world of DC Comics' Animated Features. The two bring up at least 20 of these films, and for the most part, at least one of them will recommend each movie. Your hosts will also express how they got into these features and if you can take the short cut of watching these instead of reading the books that they are based on.

NinetyForChill wants to celebrate AniMAY right, but CatBusRuss does not have any episodes revolving around the subject that need to be re-released from the podcast's original PodBean feed. So, let's expand the definition and call it AniMAYtion. And let's make sure the rest of the month is dedicated to moving drawings. Be a guest on the podcast by offering an anime feature film or three to four episodes of a beloved series and at least 40 minutes on Zoom. Email russthebus07@gmail.com to get on the show. We are currently available to record for May 15's new episode at the following times:

Wednesday, May 8, after 3 pm CDT.

Thursday, May 9, after 4 pm CDT.

Sunday, May 12, all day.

CatBusRuss is not afraid of long nights, so he is willing to accommodate.
