In this episode, we continue our medieval styled Fantasy soujourn. Though some technical difficulties prevented him from joining us, Michael has left us with his pick for this block leading us to check out M. J. Bassett's Solomon Kane from 2009. There's a lot to love here, but Jason lays down some fair criticism on where the film perhaps fell short of greatness. Dustin gushes his heart out over this one championing it as an underseen gem. But before all that, we geek out over Robert E. Howard and lay down plenty of context on the literary source material. And so much more!

In this episode, we launch into our first theme block of the year placing our focus onto Fantasy films. Which, as Jason is keen to add, includes a bit of specific focus on medieval style fantasy. It all kicks off with Jason's pick as we check out the influential Dragonslayer from 1981. Dustin struggles to overcome his bias for Peter MacNicol as Janosz in Ghostbusters II. Jason plants his flag on the hill declaring Vermithrax Perjorative as the all time greatest dragon ever put to film. But before all that we do our usual whirlwind overview of the genre and highlight some iconic fantasy flicks across the decades. And so much more!

In this episode, we continue our series of freestyle picks to start off the new year with Dustin's selection. We check out his favorite feature from Fantasia 2021, Ultrasound directed by Rob Schroeder. Join us as we navigate the strange surreal mindbending corridors of the film's narrative. Dustin goes up to bat for the film decrying it as underseen and underloved. Jason shares his appreciation for the way in which the story is told offering a grounded take on its more sci-fi leaning elements. But before all that, we took a Genre Exposure field trip to the movie theater just to see Skinamarink and we have thoughts. Buckle up as the hot takes fly fast and free. And so much more!

In this episode, we kick off the new year with a series of freestyle picks. We still need a bit of time to chart our course without Michael on board and so we've decided to hit some films we have wanted to discuss but have never quite had the chance to place them in any prior topics. First up, Jason takes us back to the 80s for Steve De Jarnatt's apocalyptic Miracle Mile from 1988. Dustin finds himself impressed with the level of charisma spread out across each performance in the film. Jason takes some time to highlight and detail the many wonderful character actors present among the cast. Before all that, we've got a whirlwind round up of Vestron's Silent Night, Deadly Night boxset. And so much more!

Echoing last year, Dustin returns us to the madcap genre blending world of director Sion Sono for an over the top rap battle musical. Join us as we check out Tokyo Tribe from 2014. Jason struggles to leverage the cinematic elements he finds enjoyable against his distaste for rap. Dustin goes full super fan, carefully charting out all the connections and fun factoids he can about the movie. Michael struggles to the finish line with this one. This time we've got a lineup of impressions as varied as the film itself. Along the way, in our usual fashion, we also stumble onto some heavier topics like the impact of filmmaker scandals and how they can affect one's viewing of a movie. And so much more!
