'Frank' & Capital City Comic Con Present: Hollyweird Squares Live

The crew in Lansing, MI, called the panel "Hollywood Squares", but we are not risking any infringement in this podcast episode's title.

The "⁠I Dig Crazy Flicks⁠" host had a ball getting to be the center square of the tic-tac-toe board. He hopes he can reapply for this panel in 2026 because he left knowing the character work that should be involved. If he knew he was going to be played in each round ahead of time, effort would have been taken to present a ⁠Paul Lynde⁠ impression or, at the very least, Roger from "American Dad".

Frank, Downhall Gleason, Eva, and Gollum as great Hollywood Squares guests.

“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.
