So buckle up for the end of days as we check our Maurice Devereaux's End of the Line from 2007. Dustin weighs whether the film feels more like a Full Moon production or a SyFy Pictures Original, but can't help but admit that when it works, the film is firing on all cylinders.

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.

12/6/2023
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.

Episode 075: Barbarian (2022)

11/8/2023
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!

Quick Cuts Episode 011: Dustin’s Halloween J-Horror Journal

10/31/2023
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!

Episode 073: Idle Hands (1999)

10/18/2023
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!

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.

For our last pick, Jason has selected a surprisingly relevant film blending together elements we examined in the prior two episodes. So join us as we check out Norifumi Suzuki's wild Star of David: Beautiful Girl Hunter from 1979. Dustin tries to weave the connected elements between all three films for this block while marveling at the vague profundity of the film. Jason, however, tries to articulate why the movie just falls a little short of having that special something to it.

So join us as we check out Masaru Konuma's Flower and Snake from 1974. Dustin lays down the history of this monumental film and breaks down just what kinbaku and shibari mean.
