Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast

In this episode, we slide back into the comfortable world of yakuza flicks with Dustin's pick as we once more discuss the beloved film star Joe Shishido. So join us as we check out Takashi Nomura's A Colt Is My Passport from 1967. Jason celebrates the film's composition while Dustin charts its importance in the scope of Shishido's career at Nikkatsu. But before all that, we dish on some recent watches as a new documentary sends Jason back to a much-maligned Exorcist sequel and Dustin casts a wide net with some new releases, streaming surprises, and a few recent blu-ray pickups. And so much more!

In this episode, we head back to basics with a late 80s flick. Jason's pick serves up a surprisingly underrated genre blender worthy of our show's title. It's a crime film. It's a thriller. Then it swerves into a pretty epic wilderness survival adventure. All that and more! So join us as we check out Roger Spottiswoode's Shoot to Kill from 1988. But before all that, we dish on our latest viewings as Jason polishes off some recent TV shows and Dustin casts a wide net and ultimately weighs in on the hyped up new cut of the 2nd X-Files film. And stick around till the end as we chat about some recent (and mostly depressing) film news. And so much more!

In this episode, we make a triumphant return after being beaten down by scheduling conflicts and illness to deliver one of the longest jumbo-sized episodes of the show ever as we continue our summer spree of mashing up our dual love for roleplaying games and cinema. So join us as we tackle the chonky dragon in the room and look into the world's oldest (and some may say greatest) roleplaying game by checking out its recent box office failure, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, from 2023. Jason stands ready to hold them to task with many grievances that explain its failure to connect with audiences and turn a worthy profit, but opposing him is Dustin with much love for a faithful representation of the Forgotten Realms and an argument that this may be the most honest adaptation of a typical RPG session to ever exist. But before all that, we've got so many movies to dish on, including many recent theater releases and a marathon of the entire Evil Dead franchise in honor of the new entry. And so much more!

In this episode, we merge our love for our two most prominent hobbies by checking out a film that takes a brutally honest look at people playing roleplaying games. Join us as we check out the highly under seen and underrated Zero Charisma from 2013. Delight as we identify ourselves in the gags and points made by the film and share some of our own RPG war stories. But before all that, more theater trips as Jason weighs in on the new He-Man and Dustin breaks down whether Backrooms is worth the hype. Plus on brand for the episode we recount our recent trip to Origins Game Fair and our descent into madness passing one of the nights by watching some Freddy's Nightmares. And so much more!

In this episode, Dustin steers us back into the world of A24's "elevated" horror for one of their most baffling yet engrossing releases. A simple story about a killer dress, and yet there is so much more going on beneath the surface. Join us as we check out Peter Strickland's In Fabric from 2018. Jason focuses in on the pacing of the story and the impact of its unexpected second act. Dustin pulls out the pin board to map out theories about what's really going on. But before all that, we're currently experiencing some unprecedented achievements at the movie theater for horror, and after covering his prior film, we had to get out and show some support for Curry Barker's Obsession.
