Capital City Comic Con 2025: The Panel and Punch & Pie

After impressing nerds with his win percentage at Jeffrey Stansberry "Real or Fake: Movie Edition" and being the center of the board at "Hollywood Squares" the day prior, CatBusRuss felt great going into "Ninety For Chill: The Panel" at Capital City Comic Con. It was not his biggest audience, but Punch and Pie may have allowed him to have a wise audience to deliver his thesis of "Movies are way too long" to.

“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.
