Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast Genre Exposure

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. While this is mostly meant as filler, if you dig this and want to hear more of these, reach out and let us know.
