Episode 264: Under Siege with CouchManBakes & Getting "Crank" with "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer"
It is another #RewindWednesday on "I Dig Crazy Flicks". CatBusRuss is getting prepared to host three panels at the Missouri Comic Convention 2026 (April 11 & 12), so he thought it best to bring a classic conversation back to the main feed. He is joined by frequent contributor to the podcast, Andrew Tiede, for a tangent-filled climb to the pinnacle of Steven Seagal's career, "Under Siege".
It took a lot of time for our host to edit this episode because when he pulled up the original podcast art with Skimbleshanks the One-Eared Angel (At that time Skimble the Bastard Cat, R.I.P.), the episode was "Under Siege with Couchman & Buffy '92". Russ likes to cut out the extra reviews on these rewinds, but those are usually placed at the beginning of the episode.
The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" review was plugged into a bathroom break. That should be an indication how off the rails a film that features a Navy SeAL turned cook fighting off the prototype for Tommy Lee Jones's Harvey "Two-Face" Dent and an unhinged, Gary Busey in drag can take a conversation.
Russ went to the "Ninety For Chill" blog to get a better idea on how this episode for a 100-minute long movie got an extra 25 minute tacked on to the podcast:
By the point that I have integrated the "The Buffy Vampire Slayer" movie review into the episode, we have had three conversations about wrestling, Kevin Smith memories, and how we have done drugs. This is a PG-13 conversation, at least in terms of language, but the content might not be appropriate for those who have yet to have D.A.R.E class.
Russ did not realize that D.A.R.E. is no longer a thing, so perhaps it is appropriate that he attached a review to the front of the episode for the action movie that solidified Jason Statham's place in the action genre, "Crank". That is a film that maybe the best attempt to apply the rules of "Grand Theft Auto" to the silver screen.
Chev Chelios is not in a position in that action film to practice a healthy lifestyle. But you are. Try a flavor from Doich! Snacking Dough.
