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 not be able to stick around for an entire second episode. With this said, 90-minutes (perhaps 75, maybe 99) is the ideal runtime. This concise time has given us some of the most rewatchable movies that may not win any Academy Awards, but are properly fun-sized for the audience. That is what NinetyForChill.com is all about, the fun-sized sweets be it experimental terror, outlandish horror, over-the-top action, or the most radical comedies and dramas. Your host Russ Stevens and his friends chat about the movies that require few cuts to put on basic cable when it comes to fitting into a two-hour time slot and embrace all the craziness that the censors will need to bleep or blur.

Cinematic Potluck with ThePoeticCritic

March 07, 2023 05:31 - 2 hours - 87.4 MB

CatBusRuss's taking on a second job is providing him with fewer opportunities to record new episodes of NinetyForChill: The #Podcast. He will make time to create weekly content, but the world does not revolve around him. On top of that, where is the time for him to watch new movies? Fortunately, family stepped up to help him out this week. ThePoeticCritic has a lot to say about the state of cinema at the moment, and she wanted a platform. The two siblings have a boundless conversation to add...

Since the original "Friday the 13th", it is safe to say that a third of slasher movies try to subvert audience expectations with a third act twist. Just trying to identify the killer may have become a stale concept far too early in the genre, so some films are dependent on discovering the deep-seeded why behind a killer's motivation.
