It is only appropriate that for episode 187, the podcast will be about films from a gangster rap founding father, Ice Cube. He is a man so hard, that you never see him get killed on screen. CatBusRuss verified this on the Cinemorgue Wiki.

This all stems around our host finding "Trespass" from 1992 on iTunes for $4.99. It is a movie that has Cube as fourth billed behind Bill Paxton, Ice Tea, and William Sadler. Not a bad place to be when the film is written by Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale and directed by the man who gave us "Streets of Fire" & "48 Hours", Walter Hill.

But O'Shea Jackson can lead a film, or at least share top billing with The Chick from "Species", Natasha Henstridge. With The Horror Master, John Carpenter, at the helm, surely you will be entertained by "Ghosts of Mars". If that is not enough this to sell this feature to you, "The Beekeeper" Jason Statham further stacks the cast.

"Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss" always opens with a legal disclaimer taken from "Phantasm: OblIVion" followed by the Angus Scrimm's laugh of the Tall Man. At this year's Chicago Fan Expo, our host tried to open his panel by requesting that someone give their best tribute to the late Scrimm's trademark "Boy!" The audience gave the panel a "what the hell is that?" look. So Russ, needs to make sure the internet knows the importance of Don Coscarelli.

When you need to mix up the themes and tones of your movies for spooky month, Don Coscarelli is a great auteur to turn to. CatBusRuss's introduction to this director was the nightmare fuel that is the "Phantasm". Kodiak Thompson's comes from the comedic craziness that is "John Dies at the End". Who can resist Bruce Campbell as an elderly Elvis Presley in "Bubba Ho-Tep"? If horror is not your bag, Doscarelli will still draw you in with one of his films.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Darkman, The Rundown, and Sons of Steel (1989). Aside from action and outrageous spectacle, what do these films have in common?

CatBusRuss is tempted to do some research to determine if he has ever had a guest for a Labor Day Weekend episode of "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast", but why dwell on the past? Let's experience some flicks that are new to him, and help warrant writing them off when I Dig Crazy Flicks, LLC. files their taxes.

Our host believes that he came up with a fun four film marathon based on films from the subscription services that he pays for (Netflix & Paramount+), his recent iTunes purchases, and a film that he was tempted to purchase during Vinegar Syndrome's Labor Day Sale, but thanks to JustWatch, found that it was free on Tubi. We are sure that we will address the Blu-Rays that he did buy on a later episode.
