It might be an overstatement to suggest that ThePoeticCritic is miraculous, but she allows for this year (and this incarnation) of "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast" to conclude the only way CatBusRuss would allow it. That is with a guest. This was a near last minute arrangement, so the two siblings will not be chatting about a movie. They will be reviewing their experiences from this year in cinema, but with our host's work situation, his big sister wanted to bring in a little Christmas right now.

The two do investigate what makes a holiday picture. Does it need to be released (or intended to be released) around the season? How Christmassy does it have to be? Has Shane Black actually wrote a genuine Xmas movie? Are all Oscar-bait features representative of the holiday spirit as "Mystery Science Theater 3000" suggests?

As for the best experiences this year, ThePoeticCritic does not offer too many opinions, but helps guide Russ in coming to a decision in the three feature race of "Coraline (09)", "A Boy and His Dog (1975)", and "Shredder Orpheus (1990)". Maybe CatBus will get caught up on 2024's actual movies once he can step away from the retail hell that might have driven his cynicism. Buy batteries before the kids open the damn gifts.

Ninety for Chill 200 will drop on Monday, December 22, 2024. Thanks for all the support.

ThePoeticCritic is back and focused to start spreading that Christmas cheer. She fondly looks back on the holiday offerings that bring joy to the world indiscriminately while CatBusRuss focuses on the cynical side of the season with films like Dennis Leary in "The Ref" and Bill Goldberg in "Santa's Slay". What they can agree on is that their should be no seasonal restrictions on when we can watch "Ernest Saves Christmas".

If Jesus gets Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, a Merry Mark L Lester Xmas needs two nights...or podcast episodes.

Michael Dubois makes his NinetyForChill debut as a contributor and we tackle Mark L. Lester's 1985 action classic, "Commando". This is the feature that was created give some humanity to Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Michael thinks it maybe the Governator as his most wooden. Perhaps he should have been cast as a cooler at a Missourian bar.
