A proposito di questo titolo

 I Dig Crazy Flicks is the home of "Ninety For Chill". We do not always have the time for a two-hour movie. No one ever wants to sit down and watch a one-hour TV drama knowing that they might end up sticking around for a second (or a third...even a fourth) episode. With this said, 70 to 100 minutes is the ideal runtime. This concise timeframe has given us some of the most rewatchable movies that may not win any Oscars, but are properly fun-sized for the audience. Fun-sized sweets that may be experimental terror, outlandish horror, over-the-top action, or the most radical comedies and dramas.Cat Bus Russ Arte

  • Dude, Where's My Ebertfest? Get Out, Ready or Not 2, Black Dynamite

    Dude, Where's My Ebertfest? Get Out, Ready or Not 2, Black Dynamite
    Apr 29 2026

    Reality may be getting the best of CatBusRuss. The search for full-time employment has sprouted some leads, but it left our podcast host so exhausted, he may have lost a week. He was doing his best to have the energy to check out the final Ebertfest. Unfortunately, the focus of regaining that power led him to think Champaign's film festival was a week later.

    Thankfully, parking was free the Friday when Russ arrived at the Virginia Theater to see the Academy Award Winning feature "Get Out". So it was not that much of a gut punch when he found all the lights to be out. He should have gone home to prepare for his early Saturday shift, but he had done his hair up, was smelling good, loaded himself up with "I Dig Crazy Flicks" buttons. It would be a wasted effort not to go to a cinema that was open.

    This led CatBus to see "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" during its last weekend on the big screen. He and Michael Dubois both enjoyed the original "Ready or Not", so he was expecting a good time. It was just a weird day in the sense that he watched another African-American focused film, "Black Dynamite" to get in the right mind set to watch Jordan Peele's debut film.

    Russ had always been hesitant about revisiting this Michael Jai White film because, when he first saw it, he thought it was perfect. Why risk staining those memories? Since our host was asking himself that, he decided to also muster up the courage to rewatch "Dude, Where's My Car?".

    It was a movie where he may have left being the biggest fan of this 2000 flick after watching it with his classmates during their college days. All of them would tell you that was out of character for him. People do change, but does Russ really want to?

  • UI-Con's 1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match: The New Challengers with Andrew Tiede

    UI-Con's 1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match: The New Challengers with Andrew Tiede
    Apr 22 2026
    1985 action cinema may have provided the most powerful heroes in fiction. Who would be the last man standing if they were to all enter a melee? It would be a better battle than anything involving Super Saiyans, Nameks, and weird earthlings. "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: The 1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match".Could Goku defeat Chuck Norris? If Vegeta could get up to a power level of 9000, what the hell was Sylvester Stallone's level when he beat the Vietcong and Ivan Drago in the same year? Androids with numbers in the teens cannot take out Arnold "T-800" Schwarzenegger.CatBusRuss⁠ and ⁠"Couchman Bakes" Andrew Tiede⁠ may have been the only two presenters at ⁠UI-Con 2026⁠ who were not focused on anime. The two have their favorites Japanese animated series ("Evangelion" & "Dragon Ball" respectively), but when they were kids in the 1980s, those series were not exactly abundant in the United States.The heroes for these two Midwesterners with Gen X attitudes were from cartoons based on toys. Toy lines that may have been the offspring of the most violent cinema. All boys owned at least one "⁠Rambo⁠" toy from Coleco, probably picked up from a K-Mart. And most of these kids tried set them against "Star Wars" and "G.I. Joe". Those with greater imaginations may have had them challenge "Transformers" and LJN's Wrestling Superstars.Maybe Rambo would go "My Little Pony" hunting.In Reagan's '80s, violence was something to be celebrated. 1985 was the peak of that mayhem. Who would not want to know which action star was the baddest? Russ and Andrew hoped their Central Illinois audience would help them determine the answer.Was it going to just be a battle between Arnie and Sly? Or did the Cannon Group's ability to make five action movies for the price of a single flick from the icons too much for them to handle?Were the two hosts afraid to bring in the glow of "The Last Dragon"? Was that the ultimate power in 1985? Can we sleep on the Shogun of Harlem?What about ⁠Sho Kosugi⁠'s ninjitsu? CatBusRuss further researched this when he watched "Nine Deaths of the Ninja". It was a weird watch, but shows the range that the greatest cinematic ninja had that year when compared to "Pray for Death". Are these two flicks going to make Sho the winner?If you want to feel like a winner, try a flavor from ⁠⁠Doich! Snacking Dough.

  • "Glorious" Missouri Comic Con 2026: Day 2

    "Glorious" Missouri Comic Con 2026: Day 2
    Apr 15 2026
    CatBusRuss has made it back from Springfield, MO. How did the "1985 Action Movie Triple-Threat Match" hold up to the power of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Brent Spiner & Jonathan Frakes's panel? Spoiler: Riker is still "Number One".But, there was an audience for Russ's final panel at Missouri Comic Con 2026. This includes a mother who let her son in Eric Cartman cosplay check it out solely for the punch and pie. It was a lesson for our host to realize how old he really is. After the mother and her kid left, he was the oldest person until the cosplayers who decided to sit in 15 minutes early for a panel about working with EVA foam arrived. The oldest person by 16 years. Yikes.Thankfully, the aspiring cosplay masters were lively enough for some discussion about 1985 cinema. Is "The Breakfast Club" an action or adventure dramedy?The people who came into wait for the prop panel also demonstrated the secondary problem with this comic convention. Every panel room's start time began at a different quarter of the hour. This means there is no time to get to other rooms. Here is to hoping that not many people needed to move to a different building to enjoy themselves.As for the rest of the Con, CatBus was pretty much focused on giving away the rest of his popular custom pins from Sticker Mule. It is not like he was going to take the time to tell the con-goers how they were screwed up. Sadly, that means you get to hear about Sticker Mule's third attempt to tell our host to shut up about their bad customer service with $35 of credit instead of providing an apology.The adventure of "I Dig Crazy Flicks" actually concluded in Rolla, MO. Our host had to stop there so that he could be present for the recording of the upcoming 4:20 Special on "Collateral Cinema". It is great that most Hampton Inns now let you access streaming services, so that you can watch "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" on their television instead of your iPad. As Russ waited for the edibles to kick in, he revisited "Monty Python's the Meaning of Life".Russ provides an brief opinion of the last Python film. It ends up being appropriate that our host decided to attach a review for "Screen Drafts's" contributor Rebekah McKendry's "Glorious". This is another review meant for the spooky month of 2025, but "Sinners" and "Tron: Ares" bumped into the back catalogue of "Ninety For Chill".It is a horror-comedy that Terry Gilliam would probably be proud of. Ryan Kwanten is a man devastated by the end of his last relationship who stops by a rest stop to let off steam. Once he tries to clean up in the bathroom, he is called upon by a god in the stall adjacent to his, speaking through a glory hole, voiced by JK Simmons. The call, to provide something through the hole to save the universe. This is a film that seems like it was meant for the concluding Python flick.If you need to give something...a try a flavor from ⁠Doich! Snacking Dough. It is cookie dough with more protein, less sugar, and none of the eight major allergens. Our host is not a cookie fan, but this stuff taste great and leaves you feeling full quickly.
