'70s Cinema Marathon: Before the Excessive Coke

CatBusRuss decided to dive into some of his purchases this year. He explores half of his first Vinegar Syndrome order, the 1973 horror comedy "Arnold" and a classic he picked up on iTunes which was nearly his top discovery of 2020, the 1972 Bruce Dern sci-fi vehicle "Silent Running". Marrying corpses for inheritance loopholes and a conservationist space movie prove the seventies were a special time. Too bad cocaine and capitalism ruined these unique ideas come the 1980s. Russ also discovered the difficulties of finding movies before 1980 on major streaming platforms. He found the offerings on Netflix and Paramount+ to be quite poor. Fortunately, Shudder is aware of what a classic horror feature is and Prime Video is a video library with fewer rental fees. The second half of this seventies marathon brings the full-frontal nudity with David Carradine's failed spiritual successor to "Death Race 2000", "Death Sport", and the steamy, lesbian-vampire classic "Daughters of Darkness". The influence of the 1971 vampire film can still be felt on vampire cinema 50 years later. This inspired our host to revisit his review for the queer-vampire, indie-horror comedy, "Bit" to cap off this episode. CatBus is still looking for a guest for the 200th episode of "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss". Reach out to him on Bluesky @catbusruss.bsky.social.
