A bi-weekly podcast plumbing the depths of genre films from the old, new, cult, and transgressive. Join us as we explore the wide world of cinema broadening our horizons one movie at a time.
In this episode, we're overflowing with hype for the Halloween season! Instead of our usual fare of movie deep dives, we decided to start the celebration early by coming together to draft a Genre Exposure-approved Top 10 list of some of our favorite horror flicks that really nail the Fall/Halloween season vibes. While our selections range from the obscure to well-known, we tried to eschew some of the more obvious picks and stick a little more into the weeds, as is the usual purview of our show. Pad out your watchlist for this October with something new, or maybe revisit an old favorite to reevaluate it. But before all that, Jason finally catches up to the Backrooms hype and Dustin weighs in on Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil. And so much more!

In this episode, we slide back into the comfortable world of yakuza flicks with Dustin's pick as we once more discuss the beloved film star Joe Shishido. So join us as we check out Takashi Nomura's A Colt Is My Passport from 1967. Jason celebrates the film's composition while Dustin charts its importance in the scope of Shishido's career at Nikkatsu. But before all that, we dish on some recent watches as a new documentary sends Jason back to a much-maligned Exorcist sequel and Dustin casts a wide net with some new releases, streaming surprises, and a few recent blu-ray pickups. And so much more!

Episode 131: Shoot to Kill (1988)
In this episode, we head back to basics with a late 80s flick. Jason's pick serves up a surprisingly underrated genre blender worthy of our show's title. It's a crime film. It's a thriller. Then it swerves into a pretty epic wilderness survival adventure. All that and more! So join us as we check out Roger Spottiswoode's Shoot to Kill from 1988. But before all that, we dish on our latest viewings as Jason polishes off some recent TV shows and Dustin casts a wide net and ultimately weighs in on the hyped up new cut of the 2nd X-Files film. And stick around till the end as we chat about some recent (and mostly depressing) film news. And so much more!
