Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast Genre Exposure

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!

Next Time:Tin & Tina (2023)

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. But before all that, sound all the alarms because the Muckverse has a new entry on the way. And so much more!

Next Time:Flower and Snake (1974)

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. And so much more!

In this episode, we wrap up our series on non-horror Science-Fiction by examining another staple concept of the genre: virtual reality. Join us as we check out Dustin's pick Avalon from 2001, a Japanese-Polish coproduction directed by Mamoru Oshii. Dustin heaps praise upon the film while also giving a detailed account of both Oshii's history and his directorial style. Meanwhile, Jason offers a powerfully contrasting viewpoint after finding himself put off by the film at nearly every level. But before all that, the show almost immediately comes to a grinding halt as the hosts find themselves face to face with stunning news of a revival for the Return of the Living Dead franchise.
