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.

Our host did not have a guest going in to this panel, but 4C is about nerds chatting about nerd stuff. Photo ops and autographs seemed to come second. Thus, people wanted to talk about short-ass movies. Enough people to at least facilitate conversation. For a podcast, that is all you need.

CatBus got to chat a little Hitchcock, compared "Star Wars" fandom with panelist Chris Martinez, and received the weird suggestion to watch "El increíble profesor Zovek". These interactions made the 10 hours of travel worthwhile, and he cannot wait to return to Michigan's Capital City in 2026.

With ATL Comic Convention scheduling him for all three days and the need to take four days off to take ThePoeticCritic up to Fan Expo Chicago, CatBusRuss chose to not take the time off to attend the one day at Capital City Comic Con that he was not scheduled for panels. And the hospitality and camaraderie that the nerds of Lansing, MI offered may lead our host to regret that.

No offense to Garrett Wang, but no one would call the list of guests a must see, The exhibition floor only had one light saber dealer, and the venue was pretty small. But 4C has been going on for 10 years, so they are obviously doing something right. And that is just having a very inviting atmosphere where geeks want to talk about weird stuff, not focus on $200 photo ops.

CatBusRuss had fun at all the panels he attended and participated in on Saturday. This leads him to hope that "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast" will actually have an audience. He does not want to eat all that punch and pie by himself.

As for David Carradine's name being in the title, CatBusRuss has posted a review of his 1988 feature, "Crime Zone" co-starring David Lynch muse Sherilyn Fenn. It is a story about creating criminals in a dystopian future so that the feds have someone to persecute. It is a clever idea for a Roger Corman production, and is quite the opposite of what Capital City Comic Con presented.
