Episode 36: The #Podcast - From Dreamy "Nocturna" to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (And the Art of Letterboxd Stalking).

ThePoeticCritic and Cool Movies Darth take you on a journey ranging from the Criterion Channel's Saturday Matinees for the smart kids to the directors with obsessions of dreamlike environments. The Spanish animated gem "Nocturna" and Wes Craven's "A Nightmare on Elm St" serve as bookends to this narrative that does quite a bit of juxtaposition of features like "The Never Ending Story" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". NinetyForChill tries to capture the motivation behind Terry Gillian's filmography in about 90 minutes.

 

This episode was recorded the day after my chat about "Commando" with Michael Dubois, so I thought it would be nice and brief. My plan was to focus solely on the two titles that I am advertising. But, when you think you have the answers, TPC goes and changes the question. And she says sitting through WrestleMania at Robertson Memorial Field House gained her nothing. I think she maybe bitter that was how her seventh birthday was spent.

It is kind of appropriate for this 90-minute podcast to shape up the way it did. "Nocturna" has been recently added to the Criterion Channel's Matinees series. This inspired her to talk about some of the recent classics she had seen like "Mark of Zorro" and Charlie Chaplin's "Pilgrim". With "Nocturna" being set in a dream world, it would eventually culminate in a transition to the horror aspects. The path just happened to include opportunities to juxtapose the experimental children features like the many adaptations of "The Bluebird" with Terry Gilliam's Kubrickian "dream trilogy".

Of course, we offer more of a breakdown in the concepts that Disney animation "fans" are pushing. I compare those people to the DCEU supporters. It is a fair comparison since I am a man calling for more love to be provided to the Snyder-verse. We also take a stand about features that we gave a pass to being kids of the 1980s, but realize that the reassessments of Rufio are uncalled for. The same goes to the Sanderson sisters.

If anything needs reassessing, we determine it is the works of David Lynch and 1993's "Super Mario Bros".

 

Next week, the plan is to speak to Andras "Ta2squid" Bodolai. The "Ta2suid Podcast" offers great free-form conversations about horror movies, tattoos, metal music, and getting inside the minds of other podcast host. I am kind of worried because there is a sense where it may become "Who is interviewing who?" It should be fun, provided that I do not screw up the time zone differences again.

I would not mind being a couples week ahead when it comes to content, so I would love to hear from you with ideas on what to chat about. Frankly, it would be honor to host you and find out about why you offered your incite. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com with a movie, theme, director, or actor. If you promise to center the topic around movies between 74 and 99 minutes, audio gold should be the product.

If you need some suggestions, movies like "Fear of a Black Hat", "UHF" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" can make for a great theme. ThePoeticCritic knew that Robert Downey Sr.'s satirical masterpiece, "Putney Swope" fits the pod's time restraints. There are also Tim Burton's early classics "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and "Beetlejuice". Or we could just focus on movies Danny Elfman scored.

 

I have been asking for weeks for assistance in composing an episode dedicated to vampire features like "The Lost Boys" trilogy, "Near Dark", and the "Underworld" movies. Here is to hoping that this bunch of critiques will stir up some inspiration in my audience to step up and hold off on the garlic. If this is a topic you up for discussing, feel free to send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. All I need is a half hour on Zoom to get this done.

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 suggestions 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.

 

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.

NinetyForChill - The #Podcast: Save Wes Anderson From Corporate Ducks

 Films Researched for this Episode: Bottle Rocket (1996) and Rushmore (1998).

Episode 32: Save Wes Anderson From Corporate Ducks (Donald, Daffy, Aflac...run)

Like many of Wes Anderson's features, oddball circumstances had led to ThePoeticCritic saving my bum. She found Anderson's filmography to be interesting enough to give us some content. I bring the breakdowns of features like "Bottle Rocket" and "Rushmore" while TPC emphasizes the importance of his freedom from the revived studio system. Anderson is essentially the independent scene's cheerleader. Please forgive the "Heroes" reference.

As with the characters in Anderson's work, there were difficulties with the recording process. I think I am mastering the Zoom PodTrak P4 when it comes to setting up the levels. When it comes to the layout of the buttons, this ended being three separate files and we lost 10 minutes of ThePoeticCritic and I determining whether his style is more Coen Brothers or more Tim Burton. Either way, he maybe the best talent in cinema right now.

Which is why she is adamant that he stays away from any and all franchises. I am intrigued by the concept of him directing a Submariner movie with a "Life Aquatic" aesthetic. After typing that, the MCU needs Luke Wilson. Here is to hoping that you can forgive me for calling him Luke Owen. Wrestle Talk is a daily YouTube experience.

If you want a peak at the best contention between us siblings, we debate why she has yet to watch any Edgar Wright features. She claims there is too much brilliance from the past to be concerned with the presence. I try to make an argument that Wright proves there is still something worthwhile to current cinematic culture.

 

We did not take the time to lighten the mood by referencing the RiffTrax short she showed me earlier that day, "More Dangerous Than Dynamite". But I took the time to document and put over some of her great guides when it comes to venturing into #FilmTwitter. If you want some good content, give Bill Smiley (@neokefka_99) and Jessica Ritchey's (@Ruby_Stevens) Twitter profiles a look.

 

 

Typing this blog post up makes me wonder about some of my big sister's friends. @Ruby_Stevens? Could it me a burner account for my eldest sibling? My mom's nickname was "Ruby". Is she holding out on cinematic knowledge? But I digress.

 

As for next week's episode, it will be the conclusion to the comedy of errors that gave us this episode. Two previous guests tried to get a hold of me to cover the early works of James Gunn. Neither of them would have worked out to record in time for this week, but its great that to know the show is good enough for guests to want to come back. I am on vacation this week, so we will definitely get the Gunn Show off the ground.

With that said, I have got a lot of time till next Monday to record podcasts. After deeming "The Suicide Squad" to be too long, an interest in finding movies to cut down to about 90-minutes has arose. If anyone wants to chat about this, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @catbusruss. Just offer a 90-minute subject (film, director, theme, or actor[s]) to also chat about. OR, another movie to figure out how to get from a bloated state down to the ideal frame of 74 to 99 minutes.

Episode 31: ThePoeticCritic vs. Daffy and Donald (Criterion Channel Needs a Duck Mascot)

ThePoeticCritic returns to the podcast and lets us know how we must stand up to Disney and their efforts to allow the Marvel Cinematic Universe to consume the whole of mass media and prevent new ideas from influencing aspiring film makers. It is a call to seek shelter in the Criterion Collection. Thankfully, their streaming channel has great Saturday matinees for the kids along side Cronenberg and Jarmush for Mom and Dad.

TPC is not overly optimistic about the rest of the 2021 film calendar, so she refers us to many an interesting documentary ("Class Action Park" and "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage [Both on HBO Max]). These help keep her mind off of Disney's false progressive signals (If you have to curtail to Chinese values, there is no progress.) despite they have taken News Corp out of the content creation game.

I do try to calm her saying that things are not as bad as she thinks they are, but a consensus is reached between us that the House of Mouse is establishing a new Hayes Code. It is up to us to support wise auteurs like Martin Scorsese and to divert our focus to the new age of content creators, no matter how far they have been buried by Disney, AT&T/Warner Media, Viacom/Paramount, and Comcast/Universal. This leaves me fearing that we are just Bill Paxtons for xenomorphs if Lionsgate and Sony figure out over-the-top services. Game over man.

 

But this chat is not all doom and gloom. We preach the art of riffing movies after some inspiration from the Rifftrax short "Courtesy: A Good Eggsample". It also serves as a demonstration on how taboo subjects (We [and the Rifftrax trio] went to that Gump place.), can still be funny if you have your joke structure down. The two of also have a good laugh about "Bluey" censorship.

 

 

The chat also features a discussion on how to see movies in the theater and the importance of not going to deep into #FilmTwitter. If you must navigate the thoughts of vampiric mouse familiars, take note of the handles that TPC offers you to serve as guides.

 

I am still looking for a guest for the August 24th episode of this podcast. After deeming "The Suicide Squad" to be too long, an interest in finding movies to cut down to about 90-minutes has arose. If anyone wants to chat about this, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter @catbusruss. Just offer a 90-minute subject (film, director, theme, or actor(s)) to also chat about. OR, another movie to figure out how to get from a bloated state down to the ideal frame of 74 to 99 minutes.

The podcast has to be recorded by August 22nd. Let me thank you in advance for your assistance.

Episode 23: ThePoeticCritic's Cinematic Chicken Salad

Read more: https://html.com/media/#ixzz6jIeBsAn5

Not wanting to continue on with abbreviated episodes, Letterboxd's ThePoeticCritic was kind of enough to return to the podcast. The only issue was, what were we going to talk about? Fortunately, as long as it involves cinema, there maybe no greater mind for film history in the Heart of Illinois than that of my big sister.

She could be the Steve Austin of amateur film experts. I think she does a great job taking the chicken poo that I laid out in front of her and turning it into chicken salad. The cost for this mayo-free meal for the mind, her having me watch the Cinema Snob's review for "Captain America" 1990.

 

 

It just feels wrong for having her deprive me of a virginal Albert Pyun experience. As a fan of his schlock, there is only so much I have yet to see. I am trying to recall an unwatchable feature from his (Notice that I did not use the term good.) filmography. Hell, "Heatseeker" is a film that I am still trying to track down. Does anyone know where to stream it? After purchasing a HDMI splitter and a HDMI to Composite adapter to copy all my AEW purchases that are soon to be lost, there is no reason I cannot secure myself a grainy copy of this grainy feature that never made it to DVD.

My apologies if I lost you during that rant, but let me throw this out there. Albert Pyun directed the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic "Cyborg" and at least two of the "Kickboxer" sequels. Surely someone else appreciates his Cannon Group qualities as much as I do. Hence, who is up for a podcast about his works. Volunteers can send their emails to russthebus07@gmail.com.

 

My older sister has primarily been catching up on movies from the 1980's, but when she became aware that I have been trying to get an episode about vampire movies off the ground, she was more than willing to offer up her limited knowledge on the topic. Our discussion about "The Lost Boys" and Joel Schumacher does not get to heated because it was so easy to talk up the importance of "Near Dark" and how that the film has many parallel's with other Kathryn Bigelow features.

Through this conversation, I got to see a more liberal and open side of my big sis. We get to have a discussion about the absurdist humor of John Waters and how Woody Allen, for better or worse, is one of his closest contemporaries (Style wise, not personally). This also leads me to ask if we needed a more absurd Stanley Kubrick. What sounds better: A nuclear holocaust or a pie fight? Which way would you like the world to end?

We also again tackle how #FilmTwitter may have too many woke keyboard warriors wanting Hollywood to produce the most inoffensive entertainment. The problem is, Disney is more than happy to give it to them. Basically, I try my best to call for Critical Race Theory to be brought to film school while TPC hopes for more indie features to course correct the industry.

In the end, it turns out to be fitting that I include my review for "London Calling", a brilliantly chosen addition from Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Reviews. At this time, we may need to deify Joe Strummer.

With that said, I have been prepping myself for a vampire-themed episode. Thus, it will not be hard for me to come up with an "preview" episode to get the audience pumped for it. If someone will let me know that they are game for talking about "Lost Boys" and "Near Dark", we will have plenty of time to record it. Just drop russthebus07@gmail.com an email. Thanks.

I hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast and I am open to any and all criticism.

The Poetic Critic had granted me a favor by being this week's guest. Her reward...she gets to address a big hullabaloo that over took #FilmTwitter. This poor taste insurrection started with some twat saying how they broke their own rules of not watching any features released before 1975. I guess this was to prove their belief that cinema was not worth anything prior to the year of "Jaws" because they found "Citizen Kane" to be a poor attempt at art.

It was not solely the stance that films were bad before the special effect shark. The lyrical assessor brought up a recent article that the legendary Martin Scorsese (I think I have now finally memorized the spelling.) about the art of Federico Fellini. In this work (per ThePoeticCritic [TPC]), he again discusses how he feels that corporations are more interested in delivering content to amuse instead of art to challenge.

#FilmTwitter's Response To the Most Under Rewarded Director (to paraphrase): What does he know about art? All his films are about white males. The Marvel Cinematic Universe considers all cultures and races unlike the cinema before 1975 which was nothing but the celebration of white men.

So this is the episode where I truly show my age as I shout at "kids" for trying to feel better about themselves by being keyboard "activists". I thank TPC for her patience as I compare the yearning for only woke features to "woke" wrestling fans wanting more time and respect shown to still blossoming women's wrestling. If you are looking for controversy, I take the stance thantcontext warnings should allow Disney+ to finally air "Song of the South". One can be curious...right?

As for individual movie talk, TPC provides great launch points into films of each decade as far back as the 1920's. I get to mention my experiences with my viewings of David Cronenberg's "Shivers" and the Japanese revenge feature that surely inspired the crimson splashes featured in "Kill Bill", "Lady Snowblood". "Ally's Accessories Shop's Trash Cinema" offers up another low-budget feature. "Dark Ride" from the "8 Films to Die For" series was crammed in just before the editing process. Why could it not be Ham from "The Sandlot" to be featured in the film's head bisection scene?

Hope you enjoy and thank for the support.
