Captain America v. #Filmsky & ThePoeticCritic
Welcome to the "I Dig Crazy Flicks" era of the podcast. It allows for a greater range in cinema to discuss and is definitely more marketable. And the craziness kicks off this year after Russ saw his father's reaction to a television ad for "Captain America: Brave New World".
His dad has never been to the theater to catch a Marvel movie, and with his reaction to Harrison Ford transform from POTUS to Hulk, it is unlikely he will despite CatBus explaining why it makes perfect sense.
Our host might just be quick to excite, so he decided to consult with his older sister, ThePoeticCritic, to perhaps talk him down...or trigger his argumentative nature as the two breakdown the flaws of franchise factories and post-pandemic cinema.
“I Dig Crazy Flicks” was founded as “Ninety For Chill”. It is Russ Stevens’s blog dedicated to movies with runtimes between 70 to 100 minutes. This runtime was the standard for horror movies and goofball comedies. Without the time for drawn out narratives, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what would stick was the rule. Thus, craziness ensues, and cinephiles like CatBusRuss want to preach the greatness of embracing the insanity.
