If it does not involve pro-wrestling, this is Russ Stevens's effort to create the one stop blog for movies that are cut to the ideal run-time, 90 minutes. This blog may feature films that may range from 71 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, but 101 minutes and up are too long. An hour and a half can justify cutting a film into two chapters and a book into three. Hobbits and Katniss have too many ending, consider this an effort to stop that.
ThePoeticCritic is more of an influence of her little brother than he would like to acknowledge, but this lead him to give "Class Action Park" a viewing. That feature is about a very eighties attitude. Thus, it inspired him to finally watch the "Risky Business" DVD provided to him by Ally Higgins of Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy. Another disc Ally gave her ex-boyfriend was a no budget horror movie from 2016 called "Nocturne". After that trash feature, CatBus needs to reminisce about a good gore film, so it is only fitting that "Spiral: From the Book of Saw" was the first movie he saw after cinemas finally reopened.
Films Researched for this Episode: Johnny Handsome (1989), Bedtime Stories (2008), and Hotel Transylvania (2012).

Episode 19: Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison vs. @CatBusRuss and @QuidPro_Joe (Part 1)
@QuidPro_Joereturns to stand up for the career of Adam Sandler, or at the very least remind us of the 10 years where he was the most reliable cinematic comic. If only Jim Carrey did not take himself so seriously.
We discuss how Adam Sandler's classics stack up to Chris Farley's. Another guest expresses more love for Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" which gives us a chance to reexamine everything from 1999. This includes a discussion that puts "Fight Club" in a battle with "Big Daddy". Who was the better teacher: Durden of Sandler?
The first half of our conversation covers all of the filmography of features that were just over 90 minutes. I cannot wait to rediscover how the two of us were able to keep chatting for another 90 minutes on top of that. I hope you enjoy some wrestling banter and tales of theater hopping to embrace R-rated features and Robert Rodriguez.
I do have to ponder after Mitchell Whitt's "Morbidly Macabre" podcast dropped and episode about Chris Benoit if I should delve into the wrestling podcast realm. Anyone up to host that...and watch at least six hours of wrestling a week? Drop me an email with a strategy at russthebus07@gmail.com.
After WrestleMania Backlash, I will tell you that we need to take zombie pro wrestling back. My suggestion is that we finally get my low-budget zombie movie, "Main Event of the Dead" off the ground. The script lacks a lumberjack match, so you know it has got to be better than the "Army of the Dead" advertisement. Ask for a treatment or give me suggestions on how to get it to a crowd-sourcing stage with an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.
I hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast and I am open to any and all criticism. My biggest want is more guests and more suggestion on what to chat about (@catbusruss, russthebus07@gmail.com, @coolmoviesdarth) If we can get 3 hours out of "Little Nicky", the possibilities are endless. Thanks for visiting.
Film Researched for this Episode: Bulletproof (1996)

Episode 20: Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison vs. @CatBusRuss and @QuidPro_Joe (Part 2)
@QuidPro_Joeand I conclude our conversation that started with Adam Sandler's golden age that kicked off with "Billy Madison" and ended with "Little Nicky". We learn about his recent Vudu purchase from the Sandler filmography and how "The Longest Yard" created a need for him to express the joy that the former "Saturday Night Live" performer has provided him.
And since it was the 85-minute mark of the conversation, the booze may have taken hold. We go from trying to defend the Sandler's cameos in obnoxious Rob Schneider movies to trying to determine our favorite sub 100-minute features that he starred in. That may have been the goal of the podcast, but when we leaned towards "The Wedding Singer" the podcast goes off the rails as Joe tells us how "Wonder Women 84" tried too hard to capture the 1980s.
Reminiscent for the 80's, we go on to talk about everything Generation X and Millennials can relate to. We discuss 80's music (and how it kind of sucked), space operas like "Flash Gordon", "Star Wars", and "Star Trek", and why movies that are being sent to HBO Max are so damn long.
Outside of our conversation, I give my opinion on the well-meaning nature of Mitchell Whitt's "Morbidly Macabre" podcast episode about Chris Benoit. And since I am mentioning wrestling here, this is the first time on audio that I pitch for Marty Scurll's return to professional wrestling. If that does not get me cancelled, the apologetic review of "Bulletproof's" sense of humor might.
This is an eventful podcast episode because Joe and I are just going off the cuff. If you want the hot takes on Todd Phillips and his moronic fans who have lead to the greenlighting of "Joker 2" or need to know the level of my kink, episode 20 should satisfy.
