Ninety For Chill: The #Podcast with @CatBusRuss
Episode 181: MaXXXine: A Ti West Fincher Flick
Ti West has shown with his the "X" Duology from 2022 that he can be an excellent and innovative horror filmmaker. He created an insane pair of gory masterpieces with "X", an ode to the birth of slasher movies, and "Pearl", a fun bastardization of the burgeoning dance and fantasy worlds that sound and color provided us with. But, modern cinema works upon the "rule of threes". All features should be a part of a trilogy. Since audiences tend to only remember the final act, his third collaboration with Mia Goth, "MaXXXine", is placed in a tough spot.
Episode 182: #MarvelMonday: #Deadpool & #Wolverine & CouchmanBakes
2016's "Deadpool" qualified for "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss", so it is only fitting that the biggest movie of the 2024's summer should be addressed. Andrew "CouchmanBakes" Tiede was the guest whom CatBusRuss discussed the first film of the trilogy with. When our host was told by his frequent guest that he was going to skip a trivia night to see the third entry in the franchise, Russ knew he better be prepared to discuss that feature for the sake of content.
Couchman and CatBus had a ball discussing "Deadpool & Wolverine", but it is clear that the two appreciate the latest addition to the franchise in different ways. Neither of the talking heads claim this to be the best picture of the franchise, so it is a discussion of whether "Deadpool 2" or the threequel is superior. CatBusRuss maybe in the minority after a listening to the "In Love with Movies" podcast. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is undeniably great spectacle that should be seen, but CatBus is a plot driven guy.
"Dunkirk" is a theatrical spectacle. Does two comic book guys punching and cutting each other demand the price of admission? Couchman thinks that after $50 in soda cups, it is.
