In this episode, we head into our last topic for the year and to have a little fun, we're going to be talking about movies about making movies. It all starts with Dustin's pick as he brings us our yearly dose of the world of Sion Sono with his yakuza send-up comedy epic Why Don't You Play in Hell? from 2013. Dustin charts the amazing star-studded cast. Jason gives praise for the film's heart regarding the dying art of classic filmmaking. But before all that, a special music video for the holidays was sent our way and we want to share it with you. And so much more!

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!

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 Michael pops back in for a special guest appearance, bringing with him our last film for the set. So join us as we dive back into the world of Jeremy Saulnier to check out his debut feature Murder Party from 2007. Jason celebrates the film's pacing. Dustin finds appreciation for the kernels of thematic elements that become key in many of the director's films. Michael praises the film's comedic timing and execution on a tight budget. But before all that, we gush about our shared experience seeing Claudio Simonetti's Goblin perform live. And so much more!

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 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.

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!

In this episode, we wrap up our exploration of Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series for the time being. 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. But before all that, we weigh in on Netflix's One Piece and the current state of live action anime adaptations. And so much more!

In this episode, we continue our exploration of Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series. For our next pick, we checked out one of the most well-known and iconic films from the entire run. It helped spawn their own S&M focused sub-series, numerous sequels, arguably kept the company running financially, and skyrocketed Naomi Tani to eternal stardom among fans of the genre. 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. Jason weighs in on the tone of the film, questioning how much of the comedy was intentional and contrasting that against our expectations going in.

In this episode, we triumphantly return to the world of pink films and related media by casting some focus on Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series that carried the company to greatness throughout the 70s and 80s. We kick things off with Dustin's pick Zoom Up: Murder Site directed by Koyu Ohara in 1979. Dustin lays down the history of Nikkatsu and the whirlwind rise and fall of their Roman Porno series. Between the swift runtime and many creative decisions, Jason finds a lot to love with this movie. But before all that, we take a moment to reflect on the impact of director William Friedkin.

In this episode, a listener suggestion sends us into overtime on the sci-fi genre as we look at a film that approaches some concepts we've dug in on with past episodes, but using its own unique approach. So join us as we check out Alejandro Amenábar's Open Your Eyes from 1997. Dustin lays down some connections with other beloved mind-bending flicks; some of which we've covered for prior episodes. Jason throws some shade at the film's Tom Cruise helmed American remake Vanilla Sky. But before all that, the trailer for the new Exorcist movie is upon us and the hosts aren't so sure how ready they are for another round of whatever was going on with the most recent Halloween trilogy.
