In this episode, after feeling the vibes of 70s British Sci-Fi Horror from our prior film, Dustin tries to keep the ball rolling with a blind pick. Who could imagine what terrors await!? So join us as we wind the clock back a few more years to 1970 and head into the land of Amicus Productions to check out Scream and Scream Again. This is certainly one of the films in their catalog and we dig deep to find some merit in this hot mess of a film. But before all that, Jason picks back up reading and dishes on a newer Horror novel that he dug. Dustin runs down some recent watches, including sharing a lot of hype for a brand new Shudder Original. And so much more!

In this episode, rising from the snowpocalypse, we make our triumphant return in the new year. We're kicking the year off as we usually do with a few free wheeling picks just for the heck of it. Jason heralds his return by selecting The Creeping Flesh directed by Freddie Francis from 1973. So join us as Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee clash on the big screen to deliver one of the most nonsensical, but fun, slices of sci-fi horror. And before all that, Jason recounts his trip to England, we celebrate the life of David Lynch with a small discussion, and dig in on some parting shots at 2024 as we circle back for a few films; most notably Nosferatu.

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, a Christmas miracle descends upon the podcast as Dustin wraps up his coverage of the Death Forest franchise. At four films in with mostly diminishing returns from an already low high, join our intrepid host as he discovers that the final entry actually packs the biggest punch of all. We've got new directors at the helm, a longer runtime, and somehow surprisingly better pacing to utilize that extra time to weave something entertaining that exceeds the other films in the series. But before all that, Dustin recounts his experience revisiting some of his favorite Christmas classics and then weighs in on The Creep Tapes now that season one has finished. All that and more!

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, Jason is on vacation and Dustin cracks open the J-Horror Journal once more. We pick back up right where we left off with Death Forest 4 directed by Yasutake Torii. We're chugging right along and that means more of what you can expect from this franchise by now: more Kazuki trying and failing to unravel the mystery of Yoshie and the denizens of the Death Forest. This entry picks up heavy on the remaining plot threads from the prior film and gives us a continuation of the series' vague Crystal Lake-like metaphor of having the action go down nearby to the central location where everything ought to be happening. Checking off the boxes of obvious horror sites, we get a hospital this time. But before all that, Dustin recounts some of his recent watchings, including a dip back into the Shaw Bros box set and a look at The Creep Tapes. All that and more!

In this remarkable 100th episode of Genre Exposure, we do our usual just a bit early and usher 2024 to a close with a final look back over the year. First, we reflect a bit on the podcast itself and go over some things we learned and struggled with during the year and highlight some of our favorite moments and share just a few regrets. After that, we take our stab at proper top 10 lists and go over some of our favorite film discoveries we made this year. This will be Jason's last episode for the year as he gears up for a very special vacation. Join us in wishing him well on his trip.

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, continuing our tradition of having an extra episode drop on Halloween, Dustin cracks open the J-Horror Journal one last time this month to share with you three of his favorite urban legends from Japan and discuss some of the many films that have spawned from them. From a bathroom haunting ghost to a gorgeous lady with a smile to die for and finally a ritual far more elaborate than Bloody Mary and way too scary to attempt. You can expect a cavalcade of low budget horror flicks to follow in their wake as well.

In this episode, we tackle one more discussion topic to keep the October Halloween celebrations going. In an era where reboots and revivals are running wild, we posed a simple question: What if beloved anthology horror series Masters of Horror returned for a third season? Our parameters were simple. Assume 13 episodes because the other two seasons had that many. We each take six picks to be as even as possible and tapped Michael to give us his number one suggestion to round out number 13. The major stipulation is that each filmmaker needs to have not already appeared in the prior two seasons of the show. Watch as we wade into the trenches fighting to honor those who may have missed out on the original show's run or staking the claim of master for more modern directors. How did we do? Who did we miss? We'd love to hear your thoughts too! But before all that, we dish on more of our horror watches for the Halloween season. And so much more!

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, picking up right where we left off, join us as we check out Yasutake Torii's Death Forest 3 from 2015, the next entry in the franchise based on an indie video game that itself was based on another prominent indie video game. Dustin eagerly dives into discovering if the third entry can continue upping the ante, or is there where it all starts falling apart? One thing is for sure: more giant floating ghost head chomping people in half is guaranteed along with series mainstay Kazuki being on hand searching for the truth. But before all that, Dustin takes a moment to highlight some upcoming J-Horror home media releases and then weighs in on the controversy surrounding Uzumaki's anime adaptation.. All that and more!

In this episode, we sit aside the movie deep dives to tackle a discussion topic in honor of the spooky season. And what better topic to discuss than the things that actually scare us. So join us as we get deep and share it all, highlighting five films that have really and truly scared us in our lives. The criteria were simple: the film had to legitimately scare us either when we first watched to the point it left some significant impact or still actually unnerves us today. And by scared, we specifically mean the type where you're still thinking about the film after. Jumpscares are fun, and we love them, but like a funhouse ride the moment is fleeting. Jason drills down on the origin of his preoccupation with child endangerment in film. Dustin unpacks his crippling fear of all things creepy crawly. But before all that, we dish on some of our October daily viewings and weigh in on Art the Clown's ascension to horror icon with Terrifier 3. And so much more!

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, it's the return of Dustin's J-Horror Journal! In an effort to ensure we continue having content every week in October, Dustin has taken to the mic solo to make up for the lost time of his recent illness and do what he does best: unhinged ranting about how cool J-Horror flicks are. Picking up right where we left off, join us as we check out Masataka Ichimi's Death Forest 2 from 2015, the next entry in the franchise based on an indie video game that itself was based on another prominent indie video game. This time we trade out the dimly lit forest for an abandoned school as the girls of the drama club find their interpersonal relationship issues pale compared to the unyielding threat of a giant floating ghost head that chomps people in half without mercy.

In this episode, we return to our much beloved Found Footage subgenre to check out a recent indie darling that's been gaining a lot of attention online. So join us as we check out Milk & Serial (2024) from the mind of Curry Barker. Dustin eagerly embraces the film, drawing thematic parallels to some of his favorites in the subgenre. Jason offers a more reserved take while questioning the potential pretention found in marketing a movie. But before all that, we recount how we celebrated the most recent Friday the 13th and dish on some recent flicks. And so much more!

In this episode, our interests clash as Jason subjects Dustin to a film from one of his least favorite horror subgenres: Natural Horror.

In this episode, a listener suggestion leads us to tackle another legend of the Extreme Horror subgenre. So steel yourself and join us as we check out Jorg Buttgereit's Nekromantik from 1988. As we do for many of these episodes, fair warning that the film being discussed has some pretty heavy topics and themes including violence to animals. As we always say, know your limits and know what you are fine entertaining. If you'd prefer to not even hear a discussion on the film, no worries and we'll catch you next time. Otherwise, before we dig into the film, Jason hits up some recent Hollywood horror flicks and Dustin dishes on a pair of paranormal documentaries. And so much more!

In this episode, Dustin borrows a page from Jason's playbook and swings us back for a potentially forgotten gem. So join us as we check out Paul McGuigan's Push from 2009. Dustin makes the case for the film as a well-executed cult classic. Jason tries to weigh the movie against his overwhelming malaise towards superhero flicks.

In this episode, we dig into another listener suggestion, leading us to our first formal discussion on the works of Walter Hill. So join us as we check out his rock and roll fable Streets of Fire from 1984. Jason weighs whether the film actually counts as a musical or not.

In this episode, we return once more to the world of Giallo by way of Dustin's pick. Or do we? Join us for the thrilling debate on whether it belongs in the black gloved grasp of the Gialli subgenre as we check out Emilio P. Miraglia's The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave from 1971. Jason tries to unpack the film's shaky logic. Dustin celebrates the movie's weirdness and odd similarities with a certain pink film we've covered in the past.

In this episode, Jason's next pick leads us back to the 80s once more to examine a potentially overlooked classic. So join us as we check out Sandor Stern's Pin from 1988. Jason makes the case for the need of a modern restored release for the film. Dustin shares his excitement to finally watch it after recalling the titular Pin scaring him away from renting the VHS back in the day.

Buckle up and shield your mind as we descend into schlocky shelf-warmer sequel territory to check out Brian Katkin's Scarecrow Gone Wild from 2004.

In this episode, we get lost into the absurdly surreal world of Kiju Yoshida's Heroic Purgatory from 1970. Serving as Dustin's Lynchian avant-garde counter pick to our prior film, this one covers much of the same ground, focusing and drawing inspiration from the same student revolts that served as source material for Kichiku; only everything is a whole lot weirder. Jason finds appreciation in the film's liminal nature, but weighs that against the absurdity of the film's narrative. Dustin goes off the arthouse deep end, celebrating the film's many odd aspects. But before all that, the gauntlet is hurled down as we talk AI art being used in film. And so much more!

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we've had a bit of a scheduling crisis making Jason unavailable to record. So Dustin takes to the microphone solo to chat more about Japanese Horror. We've decided to spin the prior filler episode in this style into its own series that for now will crop up during emergency situations like this. For this official inaugural episode, Dustin chats about the 2014 flick Death Forest, which somehow spawned a four sequel franchise and draws inspiration from a killer little indie horror game. He chases down not only the history, but goes on a tangent about Slenderman after realizing the game's similarities to The Eight Pages. All that and more! With any luck, we shall return to our regularly scheduled program in the usual two weeks out.

In this episode, rising from the ruins of 2023, we kick off the new year with a listener episode to start things right. So join us as we stick around in the 90's just a little longer to take our first stab discussing both Terry Gilliam and Robin Williams on the show. This time we're checking out The Fisher King from 1991. But before all that, we've got a wide range of recent watches to discuss as Dustin shares some of his movie viewing while laid up with the flu.

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we do our usual and usher 2023 to a close with a final look back over the year. First, we reflect a bit on the podcast itself and go over some things we learned and struggled with during the year and highlight some of our favorite moments and share just a few regrets. After that, we leave the best of 2023 top ten lists to the experts and instead go over some of our favorite film discoveries we made this year. Specifically, any movie that we watched this year for the first time, regardless of its release date. Finally, we wrap up by laying down some plans and wishes for the new year. To everyone that has tuned in, left a comment, or even reached out with feedback, thank you so much. We really appreciate it and it means the world to us. Here's looking forward to 2024 and another year of exploring (and celebrating) the wide world of cinema.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Jason throws some shade at the film's Tom Cruise helmed American remake Vanilla Sky.
