Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast

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. Dustin will continue his J-Horror Journal to close out 2024 and look for Genre Exposure to return proper in full force next 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.

So join us as we check out his love letter to the greats of the Cannibal film and dig into The Green Inferno from 2013.

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. But before all that, we commissioned some new art for the podcast to give the J-Horror Journal its own fitting logo. All that and more! From all of us here at the podcast, Happy Halloween!

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, 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 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.

In this episode, we dig into another listener suggestion and tackle what may be our first ever troll submission; or is it? 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, we dive back into some cult Japanese cinema. Jason had been holding this one in his back pocket for a while now and couldn't resist springing on Dustin a cult classic that he was unaware of. Tune in to see how our feelings shake out on this one and join us for Kazuyoshi Kumakiri's Kichiku: Banquet of the Beasts from 1997. Jason celebrates the film's mastery of utilizing its low budget well while Dustin chases down the inpsiring history behind the film. But before all that, we've been watching more documentaries.
