  • Cruising (1980): A surreal time capsule of America before AIDS
    Oct 18 2024
    American of 1980 was NOT the America of 1981-82. Pre AIDS. Pre Reagan America.

    William Friedkin's Cruising is a snapshot, believe it or not, of 1980. Before the fall. A surreal police procedural and pseudo American Giallo about a serial killer in the gay leather community sparked condemnation and outrage during the production. It has been reappraised since but what makes that movie so off puttingly effective?

    Jeff talks about that, his own experience with the movie, and how we need to see these snapshots as a gay community in order to understand how we got from there to here.

    1988 was the last, dying breath of 80's Horror....the best Horror decade. On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about the movies released that year and how the Erotic Thriller and Classy big budget tame horror movies killed the best era for gritty, home video horror.

  • Pontypool (2008): Communication and the loss of self
    Oct 3 2024
    It's spooky month on the GenX Show. It's not like we need an excuse to talk about horror films but why not, right? In that spirit Jeff takes on the 2008 Canadian Zombie/Virus film Pontypool. A movie about the loss of self, the loss of communication and the loss of purpose cloaked in the blood of virus. Special shout out to Stephen McHattie for putting on a great performance as Grant Mazzy in this film. He carries this big time.
