Episode 046: Mermaid in the Manhole (1988)
October 19, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBIn this episode, we continue our Extreme Horror extravaganza with Dustin's regular trip to Japan, circling us back around to the first episode to talk a bit more in depth about the infamous Guinea Pig series. Join us as we check out Hideshi Hino's Mermaid in the Manhole which may be the fourth, fifth or sixth entry in the series depending on who you talk to (and don't worry, we get into all that too). We also dive into and discuss a bit about both the career of Hideshi Hino and the ero guro ...
Episode 045: Angst (1983)
October 12, 2022 09:00 - 56 minutes - 103 MBIn this episode, we continue our Extreme Horror odyssey with Jason's pick taking us back to the early 80s to check out a film that trades in overt shock value for disturbing themes and ideas that will linger long after the credits roll. Join us as we check out Angst from 1983. Jason falls in love with the cinematography and champions the film's influential style. Dustin struggles to articulate why the film didn't quite work for him but finds appreciation for its many true crime connections. ...
Episode 044: A Serbian Film (2010)
October 05, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 180 MBIn this episode, the Halloween season is upon us. While Michael enjoys a slight hiatus, Jason and Dustin delve down into the darkest depths to spend all month talking about Extreme Horror. Just like last year, we're coming at you with one episode a week all month long. It all kicks off with one of the most infamous and controversial horror films of all time: Srđan Spasojević's A Serbian Film from 2010. Jason navigates discussing the film's touchier subject matter. Dustin tries to understand ...
Episode 043: The Righteous (2021)
September 28, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBIn this episode, Jason and Dustin band together to check out another listener episode while Michael goes on temporary hiatus. Join us in wishing him all the best and await his return later before the end of the year. This time, we're looking at Mark O'Brien's powerful art house horror flick The Righteous shot in gorgeously stark black and white. Jason celebrates the classical style of the film. Meanwhile, Dustin goes down the rabbit hole to tackle the film's religious horror angle. Before al...
Episode 042: Ludo (2020)
September 14, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 201 MBIn this episode, we wrap up our focus on Indian cinema for the time being. After the highs of Tumbad and the lows of 13B, Dustin brings a quirky black comedy crime film hoping to lift his co-hosts spirits and drag the group across the finish line. Join us as we delve into Anurag Basu's Ludo from 2020. Michael has some harsh criticism for the depictions of several members among the central cast. Jason gets completely lost in the film and struggles to even discuss the plot. Dustin fights throu...
Quick Cuts Episode 007: Pink Rabbit (2022)
September 07, 2022 05:48 - 1 hour - 113 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, Jason and Dustin team up to deep dive on the brand new horror film Pink Rabbit. Shot by a two-person crew on a micro-budget, Pink Rabbit is a feminist fantasy horror film that transcends its production value to deliver an enjoyably thought provoking experience. The story follows Martha during her daily work routine when an encounter with the titular Pink Rabbit plunges her into a series of bloody quests fighting her way back home to her son. ...
Episode 041: 13B: Fear Has a New Address (2009)
August 31, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 141 MBIn this episode, we continue our exploration of Indian cinema with a blind pick from Jason leading us to check out Vikram Kumar's 13B: Fear Has a New Address (also known as Yavarum Nalam) from 2009. While normally we bank on our varied tastes and interests to lead us to differing viewpoints on a film and thus, ultimately, a more balanced discussion, this is a rare time where we all walked out in the same place. Jason struggles to find the good in the film and theorizes how the concept could ...
Episode 040: Tumbbad (2018)
August 17, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 208 MBIn this episode, we take our first stab at focusing exclusively on some world cinema for a block as Michael launches us into a series on Indian cinema. It all kicks off with an amazing slice of period horror that weaves a generation spanning tale of greed. Join us as we check out Rahi Anil Barve's Tumbbad from 2018. Jason praises the visual design of the monstrous entities in the film. Michael celebrates the stylistic parallels to the works of Guillermo del Toro. Dustin dares to claim that t...
Episode 039: It Follows (2014)
August 03, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 189 MBIn this episode, we dig deep into the mailbag to check out the first listener suggestion the podcast ever received. This leads us back to show-favorite director David Robert Mitchell and his landmark 2014 horror film It Follows. Jason champions the film's classical aesthetics. Dustin focuses in on the varying interpretations of what "It" actually is. Michael returns to the topic of nightmare logic and draws some interesting parallels to prior episodes of the show. And so much more! Special ...
Episode 038: Robot Carnival (1987)
July 20, 2022 09:00 - 2 hours - 247 MBIn this episode, we wrap up our series on anthology films with an obligatory Dustin-mandated anime episode. Stepping away from the world of horror, we gear up to dive into Science Fiction to check out Robot Carnival from 1987. With an all-star crew of nine prominent animators taking the director chair for their own segments, the film offers a buffet of varying themes, moods, and ideals. Michael continues to weigh out his complicated feelings toward anime. Jason seems unusually familiar with ...
Episode 037: Cat’s Eye (1985)
July 06, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 208 MBIn this episode, we continue our focus on anthology films by advancing to the beloved world of 80s horror. We check out Stephen King's Cat's Eye from 1985 directed by Lewis Teague. Michael shares his appreciation for the very MCU-like interconnected nature of King's world in the film. Dustin champions the more critically maligned segment in the anthology and the tension of high-stakes gambling. But before all that Jason shares just how desensitized he is to extreme horror. Also, as our first...
Episode 036: Dead of Night (1945)
June 22, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 178 MBIn this episode, we eagerly kick off our next block focusing on anthology films. Michael starts the conversation with the legendary Ealing Studios classic Dead of Night from 1945. Jason helps define the stylistic elements of anthology films. Michael embraces the very British Horror vibe of the movie. And for some reason, Dustin can't stop using the term urtext. But before all that Dustin hops on the soapbox to champion Alex Garland's Men, Michael tries to not discuss Rescue Rangers and Jason...
Episode 035: Let the Bullets Fly (2010)
June 08, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 164 MBIn this episode, we return to our vault of listener suggestions to cool down from our focus on made-for-tv movies. Echoing back to our block on Westerns and Dustin's recent foray into Hong Kong cinema, we're taking a look at Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly from 2010. Dustin weighs some shoddy CGI as the price of admission for the comedy that follows. Jason shares his undying devotion to Chow Yun-fat. Michael lays out some of the differences between Hong Kong cinema and films from mainland Ch...
Episode 034: Seance (2000)
May 25, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 159 MBIn this episode, we wrap up our series on made-for-tv movies by jumping ahead fifteen years and setting our sights on Japan as we discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Seance from 2000. This completes a secret (and accidental) subtheme across the last few episodes of films based on a work of literature. Jason takes a stand against sham psychics and also puts the Stephen King miniseries Rose Red on blast. Dustin gushes his heart out over Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Spurred on by all our talks about mediumship and...
Episode 033: Fortress (1985)
May 11, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 180 MBIn this episode, we charge ahead with our current focus on made-for-tv movies. Jason serves up an interesting follow-up by bringing to the table another film based on a work of literature, but takes us to Australia and advances the clock a decade into the era of HBO with Arch Nicholson's Fortress from 1985. Michael finds himself torn between the film's wildly varying high and low points. Dustin formulates an interesting, and ultimately pointless, theory regarding Jason's film picks on the po...
Episode 032: Duel (1971)
April 27, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 199 MBIn this episode, we kick off our next block focusing on made-for-tv movies AKA television films. Michael starts us off by setting the bar high with Steven Spielberg's Duel from 1971. Which, surprisingly, ends up being a first-time watch for Dustin. We also use it to finally have an excuse to gush over the works of Richard Matheson and his involvement in television and film. But before all that, like with every new block, we spend some time talking broadly about TV movies, their history, and ...
Episode 031: Come True (2020)
April 13, 2022 09:00 - 2 hours - 237 MBIn this episode, we dive into the mailbag for another listener episode to shake out all the dust from our series on Westerns. This time things get a little heady as we dig deep and muse over Anthony Scott Burn's 2020 feature Come True. Things get super serious and maybe we share just a bit too much in our pursuit of talking about the nature of dreams. Michael raves over Julia Sarah Stone's incredible performance as our lead Sarah. Jason opens up about his own experience with sleep paralysis....
Quick Cuts Episode 006: Celebrating Dukey Flyswatter + Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988)
April 04, 2022 22:29 - 1 hour - 123 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, spurred on by the announcement of a documentary about Michael Sonye, better known by his stage name Dukey Flyswatter, and his band Haunted Garage we decided to take some time to briefly discuss the man, the myth, the legend and then cover one of our favorite films from his career: Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama from 1988. More important than the episode, we're super stoked about this project and want to encourage you to go check o...
Episode 030: Keoma (1976)
March 30, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 197 MBIn this episode, we wrap up our series on Westerns. Dustin can't let the conversation close without casting some focus on Spaghetti Westerns which leads us to Enzo G. Castellari's Keoma from 1976. This brings up a podcast favorite topic once more: Franco Nero. Dustin comes out swinging with high praise suggesting the film deserves to be held in much higher regard among Spaghetti Westerns. Jason praises the film's cinematography, particularly focusing on its use of flashbacks. Michael tries t...
Episode 029: Brimstone (2016)
March 16, 2022 09:00 - 2 hours - 229 MBIn this episode, we continue our series on Westerns with Jason rolling the dice on a blind watch leading us to check out Martin Koolhoven's Brimstone from 2016. Collectively, we manage to toss out a pretty balanced range of impressions all across the spectrum between love and hate. Dustin finds himself totally put off by the film and tries to break down why that is. Jason takes the field in defense of the movie's many charms. Meanwhile, Michael falls somewhere decidedly in between and tries ...
Episode 028: Silverado (1985)
March 02, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 198 MBIn this episode, we kick off our next block focusing on Westerns by checking out Lawrence Kasdan's love letter to the wild west flicks of the past: Silverado from 1985. Jason celebrates the film's careful use of foreshadowing. Dustin finds himself put off by the movie's tone which leads to him realizing just what a range the genre can cover from film to film. Michael loses the plot on his own pick leading to discussions about the film's ponderous length. But before all that, we give a whirl...
Episode 027: The Beast of War (1988)
February 16, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 185 MBIn this episode, we put away the black gloves and cool down from our #GialloJanuary insanity with a listener suggested episode. From the dark streets of the world of Giallo, we carry on to the field of war to check out Kevin Reynolds' The Beast of War (aka The Beast) from 1988. This is an incredibly special film that was criminally buried during its release. We dig in not only on the film itself but also the crazy story of its production and unfortunate fall to obscurity that is an interesti...
Episode 026: Knife+Heart (2018)
February 02, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 201 MBIn this episode, our #GialloJanuary celebration kicks into overtime as we spill into February to wrap everything up. We've checked out gialli in its heyday of the early 70s and followed it up with a look at its waning days in the late 80s. Circling our discussions has been this idea about modern interpretations of the genre and the concept of the neo-giallo. We finally bring that center stage by checking out Yann Gonzalez's Knife+Heart from 2018. Jason charts a lot of the loving influences t...
Episode 025: Delirium (1987)
January 19, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 163 MBIn this episode, our #GialloJanuary celebration continues. Leaving behind the explosion of the genre in the early 70s, we advance into the late 80s to check out how things have evolved by focusing on Lamberto Bava's rather steamy erotic giallo Delirium (aka Le Foto di Gioia). Jason comes out swinging in support of the film. Dustin draws some comical parallels between giallo and soap operas as evident in the movie. Michael notes some interesting throughlines with our prior film. We also spend...
Episode 024: Death Walks at Midnight (1972)
January 05, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBIn this episode, we kick off 2022 and our first theme block of the year by returning to one of our favorite genres to celebrate #GialloJanuary. We start off by leaving the beaten path of the most popular gialli directors to check out Luciano Ercoli's Death Walks at Midnight. Michael finds himself lost in the labyrinthine twists and turns of the film's many red herrings. Dustin becomes enamored with Nieves Navarro. Jason ponders the film's low kill count and other elements that might hold thi...
Quick Cuts Episode 005: 2021 Wrap Up Special
December 31, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we usher 2021 to a close with a final look back over the year. First, we reflect a bit on launching the podcast itself and go over some of the things we learned and struggled with during the year as well as highlight some of our favorite moments and share just a few regrets. After that, we leave the best of 2021 top 10 lists to the experts and instead go over some of our favorite film discoveries we made this year. That is, specifically, any m...
Episode 023: Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
December 22, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.2 MBIn this episode, we wrap up the year with a post-apocalyptic blast by checking out the latest feature from acclaimed Japanese director Sion Sono: Prisoners of the Ghostland. Dustin opens the floodgate and bleeds his heart out with love and admiration for the works of Sono. Jason finds himself less than enthused and questioning a lot of the decisions that may have been made during production. Michael, unsurprisingly, gets lost in the plot but manages to steer around enough to level some criti...
Episode 022: The Children (2008)
December 08, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBIn this episode, we get into the spirit of the season with Tom Shankland's The Children from 2008. That means a bit of snowbound horror, insufferable family drama, and plenty of killer kids to go around. Jason is forced to reckon with the realization that his Christmas-related pick actually has more to do with New Year's. Michael comes to terms with hating every character in a story. Meanwhile, Dustin struggles to find nice things to say about the film. We also spend a bit of time running do...
Episode 021: Hold the Dark (2018)
November 24, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 94.6 MBIn this episode, we welcome the wintery season and dive into Jeremy Saulnier's most recent film Hold the Dark from 2018. It's another heavy movie with quite a lot to discuss and dig in on. Michael breaks out the whiteboard to chart some of his own personal theories and interpretations of the plot. Jason questions one of the elements made significantly more vague in the translation from book to film. Dustin self-reflects about his hangups with Netflix Originals. As big fans, we also spend a b...
Episode 020: Occult (2009)
November 10, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBIn this episode, we dig back into our archive of listener submitted films and have selected one that marks a return to many of our favorite themes on the podcast. We're back to Japanese cinema and back on the Found Footage train to check out Koji Shiraishi's Occult from 2009 which surprisingly traces us back to some concepts from earlier episodes throughout the year. Jason levels some pointed criticism on the film's flaws, Dustin geeks out over Shiraishi and his filmography, and Michael fin...
Quick Cuts Episode 004: Halloween 2021 Special
October 31, 2021 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we cap off our month long celebration of Halloween and everything Horror with a bit of fun. Join us while we embarrass ourselves for your entertainment as all three hosts throw down the gauntlet and challenge one another at a bit of horror trivia to settle a grudge match that goes back to the earliest days of the podcast's inception. Stick around after the game to hear us wrap up with a bit of discussion about some favorite discoveries we've m...
Episode 019: Night of the Demons (1988)
October 27, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBIn this episode, the Halloween celebration wraps up with a final group choice to revisit one of our very favorite horror films and show it some love. In line with everything else we've covered this month, we stuck with the 80s, stuck with a horror comedy, and for this one managed to pick something that takes place on Halloween night. So join us as we celebrate Kevin Tenney's Night of the Demons from 1988. In honor of the occasion, we also spend some time talking about some favorite films re...
Episode 018: Trick or Treat (1986)
October 20, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBIn this episode, the Halloween celebration continues as Jason keeps us in the year 1986 and swerves over a lane into heavy metal horror with Charles Martin Smith's Trick or Treat. Perhaps even less known by its alternative title Ragman. That's right, not Trick 'r Treat the much beloved 2007 horror anthology but a speaker shredding tale of the demonic evils of rock and roll. So join us as we bow down to Rock's Chosen Warrior and explore the legend of Sammi Curr. Did we forget to mention Gene ...
Episode 017: TerrorVision (1986)
October 13, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBIn this episode, the Halloween celebration continues as Michael launches us into another horror comedy taking us just one year earlier to 1986 with Ted Nicolaou's TerrorVision. This sci-fi tinged goofball comedy brings a lot of love for the classic monster movie while eagerly lampooning life in the 80s. The whole gang takes to the field defending this one while we ponder what people are smoking to allow this gem to sit with a 0% critic score on RottenTomatoes. But before that, Dustin finally...
Episode 016: Blood Diner (1987)
October 06, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBIn this episode, we kick into celebrating Halloween and the month of October with a supersized series of episodes. We will be having one episode a week all month, each one covering a horror film. We've got a secret theme that again developed accidentally but Dustin promised not to oversell it this time so play along and see if you can figure out the connection over the month. Today we're diving into the wonderfully crazy world of Jackie Kong's 1987 feature Blood Diner. A loving tribute to th...
Episode 015: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953)
September 29, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 88.3 MBIn this episode, Jason drags the gang into covering our first musical via a delicious slice of cult cinema with Roy Rowland's The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. from 1953. Spawned from the mind of none other than Dr. Seuss himself, the film follows the young Bart through a raucous phantasmagoric Seussian nightmare as he wrestles with the sinister machinations of his piano instructor: the titular Doctor Terwilliker. Michael shares his deep love for musicals in general. Jason champions the old Hollyw...
Episode 014: The Nightingale (2018)
September 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBIn this episode, we tackle Jennifer Kent's follow-up to The Babadook with 2018's The Nightingale. An incredibly bold choice that abandons the metaphorical terror of its predecessor to show us the very real and very ugly horrors that humanity has inflicted upon itself. We preempt it in the episode, but if you enjoy watching along before listening in then consider this a content warning: The Nightingale deals with some heavy topics that are made all the worse with the fact it pulls from histor...
Episode 013: Devil‘s Pass (2013)
September 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBIn this episode, we return to the found footage subgenre to tackle our first listener-requested episode by checking out Renny Harlin's Devil's Pass from 2013. This documentary-style horror flick is based on the many conspiracy theories surrounding the real world Dyatlov Pass Incident. We get into all that and some other conspiracies the film manages to cleverly wrap into its narrative. Jason debates what the best Renny Harlin film is. Dustin swings down the criticism hammer on poorly used CG...
Quick Cuts Episode 003: Breaking Down "Elevated Horror"
August 25, 2021 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, spurred on by some listener feedback we circle around to reflect on the last three episodes of the show and clean house a little. We've been jokingly throwing around this term "Elevated Horror" without really doing it justice as far as detailing it out. Also, we're not sure just how much we even like the term so it seemed worth just a little extra discussion placing the nail in the coffin on this topic. We also list some of our personal favori...
Episode 012: Under the Silver Lake (2018)
August 18, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBIn this episode, we wrap up our special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of "Elevated" Horror. The final film is David Robert Mitchell's 2018 feature Under the Silver Lake. A curious follow-up to his horror hit It Follows (2014), this neo-noir black comedy weaves a complicated tale following Sam as he struggles between fantastical conspiracy theories and reality while undergoing a personal quest to investigate the disappea...
Episode 011: The Reflecting Skin (1990)
August 04, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBIn this episode, we continue our special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of "Elevated" Horror. To do this, we're presenting something of an A24 sandwich made from two A24 releases and in the middle an earlier film that would certainly fit the criteria for an A24 release if it happened to come out modern day. That earlier film is the delightful middle section and it happens to be Phillip Ridley's The Reflecting Skin. Thro...
Quick Cuts Episode 002: Celebrating George A. Romero + The Amusement Park (1973)
July 28, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBIn this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we celebrate the works of Master of Horror George A. Romero. We talk about our favorites among his many creations, share our fond memories, and then turn our focus onto his newly released “lost” film: The Amusement Park. Heads up, despite its critical acclaim we all walked away feeling pretty mixed about this curious piece of lost media. Listen in for our take and as always we encourage you to write in and tell us what you think. Favorite “De...
Episode 010: Saint Maud (2019)
July 21, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBIn this episode, we kick off a special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of "Elevated" Horror which we've had some fun discussing in the past. To do this, we're presenting something of an A24 sandwich made from two A24 releases and in the middle an earlier film that would certainly fit the criteria for an A24 release if it happened to come out modern day. To start we are deep diving with Rose Glass' debut feature from 2019:...
Episode 009: Promare (2019)
July 07, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBIn this episode, Dustin drags the other hosts kicking and screaming into the deep end of the pool to talk about Japanese Animation with Studio Trigger's 2019 hyper-kinetic masterpiece Promare. Matching the zaniness of the film, we get a little goofy in this episode. Jason finds himself unable to answer even basic questions such as "how ya doing?" right out from the starting line. Dustin issues a correction about the pronunciation of the film's title and then proceeds to repeat the mistake l...
Episode 008: The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
June 23, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBIn this episode, we tackle the world of Found Footage with John Erick Dowdle's pseudo-documentary The Poughkeepsie Tapes. This is an interesting and notable film if for nothing else than its strange release history and the urban legend spawning notoriety that it gained; which we eagerly dive into. Jason charts the film's reputation of being difficult to handle and where it sits in the pantheon of "extreme" horror cinema among other infamous titles. Michael points out the various true crime c...
Episode 007: A Dark Song (2016)
June 09, 2021 07:20 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBIn this episode, we get metaphysical while diving into Liam Gavin's 2016 feature: A Dark Song. Michael drills in on the film's nuanced portrayal of grief and the power of film to impart feelings. Jason celebrates the subtlety of the story avoiding a more conventional resolution. Dustin chases down a side path charting the occult references in the film. But before that, the gang takes to task the idea of "Elevated Horror" as a label for these types of films. And so much more! What We've Been...
Episode 006: Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands (1967)
May 26, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBIn this episode, we dive into the world of Japanese pink films with Atsushi Yamatoya's Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands. Dustin goes insane with research and delivers a lecture on the history of pinku. Jason opens up about his distaste for freeform jazz. Michael gets lost in the surrealist labyrinth of the film's plot. We also spend a good bit of time discussing Jasper Sharp's essential book covering the genre Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema. And so ...
Quick Cuts Episode 001: Who's With Me? (2021)
May 19, 2021 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBToday we have a very special episode kicking off a new format for Genre Exposure. Quick Cuts will release irregularly on the off weeks between normal episodes whenever we have content and will be where we can cover any number of topics outside of our usual format. From answering listener questions, covering broader discussion topics on film, conducting interviews, reporting on conventions, or taking special time to highlight and boost the signal on indie filmmakers. This first episode co...
Episode 005: Dead & Buried (1981)
May 12, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBIn this episode, we dive into classic '80s horror with Gary Sherman's Dead & Buried. Dustin questions whether the film counts as a zombie movie and what being a "zombie" movie even means. Michael digs in with the very Lovecraftian tones found in the plot. Jason breaks down the UK's Video Nasties list and the legacy of censorship against horror flicks. But before that, the episode almost derails under the imposing weight of Glenn Danzig's first feature film: Verotika. And so much more! What ...
Episode 004: Psycho Goreman (2020)
April 28, 2021 09:00 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MBIn this episode, we explore the genre-blending comedy Psycho Goreman and the general film output of Astron-6. Jason gives the film his highest praise of warranting a re-watch the very next day to share it with others. Dustin rants about the Tokusatsu genre. Michael celebrates the passion of artists creating the art they want to make. Then the hosts worry over how much they identify with Greg, the dad, in the film. And so much more! What We've Been Watching: -Michael: His House (2020) -Jason...
