#TossbackTuesday 20 years ago today, I got on a plane and headed to my first SXSWi. Haven't been back since 2010, but that first trip was career changing.

Nolan's "Dunkirk" Experience
Listen to this episode from Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss on Spotify. It took longer than expected, but perhaps it is for the best since Veteran's Day is coming up. Sam Marsh is a fan of spectacle, so he returns to the podcast to discuss Christopher Nolan's war epic from 2017, "Dunkirk". CatBusRuss is not as high on the auteur as most seem to be, but since this feature is one that Quentin Tarantino deemed to be a rewatchable, our host had to give it a chance. Fortunately, this is not "The Night of a Thousand Cats", the inspiration for the Til Schweiger character's name from "Inglourious Basterds". Being a fan of movies that have runtimes which tend to restrict spectacle, Russ has kind of found Christopher Nolan's recent attitude to be pretentious. With his protest over "Tenet" being released on streaming, our host thought that the idea of something being too cinematic was insulting to audiences' intelligence. If your narrative is strong enough, spectacle is secondary. Of course, that is the opinion of someone who aspires to be a screenwriter of small scale comedies. It has been suggested that direction is a skill that intimidates him. Sam seems to carry far less cynicism than our host. Russ enjoyed "Dunkirk", but we know he is far more likely to knit pick this feature. His guest does a great job of just telling him to appreciate the experience despite what he deemed as a lack of plot. This is why the best episodes of this podcast has someone to keep our host on track and off of tangents. But we all think that the American education system needs to place more of an emphasis and funding on the arts...right?
#TossBackTuesday: #Vampires & 15 Years of Cinematic Cena
Listen to this episode from Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss on Spotify. When it comes to talking about John Cena and vampires, it seems our host is alone when it comes to his fascination with the genres. Thus, the show's producer only has about 20 minutes of insight on the topics (recorded) and it is all right here. In this bonus episode, we alternate between the 16-time champ and vamps with "The Marine" (2006), "Daughter of Darkness" (1990), "The Suicide Squad" (2021), and "Bloodsucking Bastards" (2015).
