  5. The Gen X Files 191 - Altered States

    OCT 11

    The Gen X Files 191 - Altered States

    Strap yourself in for a trippy mindbender from the one and only intensely insane director, Ken Russell. Featuring psychedelic drugs and sensory deprivation tanks, it's the feature film debut of William Hurt and also stars Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, and Charles Haid. The production was so intense, it might have just killed Paddy Chayefsky. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

  6. The Gen X Files 190 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers

    OCT 4

    The Gen X Files 190 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers

    While appearing to be a 'remake' of a beloved 1956 thriller, based on a 1955 novel, but much like the Pod People, there's way more to the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers than what appears on the surface. Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, and Veronica Cartwright and Directed by Philip Kaufman. It's one of the best movies we've ever covered and deserves to be watched in the Halloween season. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support
