Dune (1984): It's failure and profound effect on David Lynch
David Lynch's Dune from 1984 is a massive failure on both a commercial and artistic scale. It was too weird to be a blockbuster and too blockbuster to be a weirdo independent film.
Dune's lasting legacy, however, is it spurred David Lynch on to go make the movies he was always meant to make. Gritty, weird neo-noir films starring Kyle MacLaughlin. How in failing on such a large scale led to maybe his best movie ... Blue Velvet.

Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979): The Dawn of the Dead 'sequel' and the Italian knockoff era
In 1979 Dario Argento's cut of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead was a huge hit in Italy. To capitalize, Italian producers were looking to make a quick sequel. In comes Lucio Fulci and the most surreal, over the top, grotesque zombie movie of its era was born.
We also talk about the "Italian ripoff cinema" era and how gloriously bad it was. From the Bronx Warriors to The Last Shark. Italian cinema at its most absurd.

The Visitor (1979): Star Wars and the Omen starring John Huston
In 1979 Greek Egyptian Oviido Assinitis gave us the craziest Italian movie of the 1970's, The Visitor. A combination of Star Wars, The Omen and Italian Giallo woven into a batsh*t crazy tapestry. It features some of the greats of old Hollywood in John Huston, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, Mel Ferer and even director Sam Peckinhpah.
That doesn't make the movie any less crazy. In the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about this undescribably film and why it is worth you watching.
