Episode 078: Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
In this episode, we wrap up the year and our discussion on movies about making movies with a quick trip to the 90s. So join us as we dig in a little on our conflicting opinions about 90s Horror and finally discuss the Elm Street franchise for a little as we check out Wes Craven's New Nightmare from 1994. Jason charts the web of connections as this meta horror flick weaves reality with countless callbacks to the franchise. Dustin tries to weigh where the film succeeds against its failings. But before all that, Jason crosses an important Stephen King flick off his watchlist and Dustin doubles down with another rant about a poor Netflix adaptation. And so much more!

Episode 077: Blow Out (1981)

Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
In this episode, we continue our exploration of movies about making movies. This time Jason's pick brings us back to the highly stylized world of Brian De Palma as we check out Blow Out from 1981. Between geeking out over all the gear porn and audio engineering, we also spend a lot of time highlighting the many cinematic features and real world incidents that fed in as inspiration for the film. But before all that, we set our sights on some recent releases. Jason hits the theater to talk Eli Roth's Grindhouse trailer finally being realized and then heaps praise for Toho's newest stab at a Godzilla flick. Meanwhile, Dustin brings a tale of two animated projects and unfortunately has to level some harsh criticism of the new Scott Pilgrim anime. And so much more!

Episode 075: Barbarian (2022)
Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
In this episode, we dig into the mailbag of listener suggestions seeking some horror to keep the dwindling flames of our Halloween passion alive. This leads us to check out Zach Cregger's directorial debut Barbarian from 2022. Heads up that this is a film where the less you know going in the better, so if you haven't seen it and have made it this far without being spoiled, we highly suggest trying it before delving into our discussion. Jason celebrates the film's thematic elements while Dustin struggles to reconcile the elements he loved with those that gave him a few hangups. But before all that, we spend some extra time dishing on the VHS franchise and its latest film, V/H/S/85, which seems like a stark improvement to us over the last few entries. And so much more!
Special thanks to Jessica for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film? We want to check out the movies you suggest to us. Write in at genreexposure@gmail.com or contact us on your favorite form of social media and shoot us a movie recommendation.

Quick Cuts Episode 011: Dustin’s Halloween J-Horror Journal
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, strapped for time but not wanting to abandon a holiday tradition, Dustin sits down solo to record some thoughts about the films he has watched over the month of October. This ultimately leads him to highlight a quartet of J-Horror flicks that became the stand outs from his daily watching for Halloween and sent him on a wild bender of watching more. While broadly discussing these four films, he also gives some general context on the mythology or urban legend underlying each movie. Nothing fancy or in depth, mostly some mad ramblings. Just a little treat to show some love for a handful of horror flicks on the day of Halloween. From all of us here at Genre Exposure, Happy Halloween!

In this episode, we continue our October celebration with more films set on or around Halloween. This time Dustin's pick takes us to the end of the 90s for Rodman Flender's cult horror comedy Idle Hands. Dustin finds it hard to struggle against his love for the movie and trying to give anything close to an objective take. Meanwhile, Jason offers a more grounded view praising where the film succeeds, but questioning some of its stumbling moments. This leads us to briefly discuss the idea of pet movies: the films you can't help but love even despite their flaws. And so much more!

Friday Oct 13, 2023
In this special super-sized bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we used the occasion of an October set Friday the 13th to discuss at exhaustive length the titular franchise. From favorite kills to the coolest incarnation of Jason Voorhees, we spill our guts and geek out over our deep love for Friday the 13th. Nothing fancy and we're not trying to reinvent the wheel and give some analysis you've never heard before. Just two horror nerds gushing our hearts out in a more casual chat guided only by a handful of topics we selected in advance to guide discussion. And of course we throw down the gauntlet and take to the battlefield with our own rankings of the series as well. So from all of us at Genre Exposure, we wish you an enjoyable Friday the 13th and hope that, like us, you get the chance to spend at least part of it revisiting Camp Crystal Lake and the legend of Jason Voorhees one more time. And so much more!

Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
In this episode, we once more begin our yearly celebration of the Halloween season. This time we're back with another helping of flicks set on or closely around Halloween itself. Jason starts us of with, unsurprisingly, a bit of kids in peril. So join us as we check out Samuel Bodin's Cobweb from 2023. We present two wildly different takes on the film as Jason champions the movie for embodying the spirit of classic Halloween horror gems of the 70s and 80s. Meanwhile, Dustin gets hung up on the film giving him the vibe of a by the numbers made by committee production. But before all that, we share our mutual excitement at the possible revival of Amicus Productions. And so much more!

In this episode, we dig into the mailbag of listener suggestions seeking some horror to gear us up for the coming of Halloween. This leads us once more to the land of Netflix for a directorial debut feature. So join us as we check out Rubin Stein's Tin and Tina from 2023. Dustin eagerly dispels the running gag that he hates all things Netflix with some high praise for the film. Meanwhile, Jason questions just how far a parent's unconditional love can go in the wake of our titular children's' antics. But before all that, Dustin's enthusiasm for a paranormal documentary leaves Jason reeling as we find ourselves in a very real Mulder/Scully situation. And so much more!
