Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast
A bi-weekly podcast plumbing the depths of genre films. Join us as we explore the wide world of cinema broadening our horizons one movie at a time.
In this episode, we tackle Jennifer Kent’s follow-up to The Babadook with 2018’s The Nightingale. An incredibly bold choice that abandons the metaphorical terror of its predecessor to show us the very real and very ugly horrors that humanity has inflicted upon itself. We preempt it in the episode, but if you enjoy watching along…
In this episode, we return to the found footage subgenre to tackle our first listener-requested episode by checking out Renny Harlin’s Devil’s Pass from 2013. This documentary-style horror flick is based on the many conspiracy theories surrounding the real world Dyatlov Pass Incident. We get into all that and some other conspiracies the film manages…
In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, spurred on by some listener feedback we circle around to reflect on the last three episodes of the show and clean house a little. We’ve been jokingly throwing around this term “Elevated Horror” without really doing it justice as far as detailing it out. Also, we’re not…

In this episode, we wrap up our special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of “Elevated” Horror. The final film is David Robert Mitchell’s 2018 feature Under the Silver Lake. A curious follow-up to his horror hit It Follows (2014), this neo-noir black comedy weaves a complicated tale…
In this episode, we continue our special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of “Elevated” Horror.

We talk about our favorites among his many creations, share our fond memories, and then turn our focus onto his newly released “lost” film: The Amusement Park. Heads up, despite its critical acclaim we all walked…

In this episode, we kick off a special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of “Elevated” Horror which we’ve had some fun discussing in the past. To do this, we’re presenting something of an A24 sandwich made from two A24 releases and in the middle an earlier film…
In this episode, Dustin drags the other hosts kicking and screaming into the deep end of the pool to talk about Japanese Animation with Studio Trigger’s 2019 hyper-kinetic masterpiece Promare. Matching the zaniness of the film, we get a little goofy in this episode. Jason finds himself unable to answer even basic questions such as…
In this episode, we tackle the world of Found Footage with John Erick Dowdle’s pseudo-documentary The Poughkeepsie Tapes. This is an interesting and notable film if for nothing else than its strange release history and the urban legend spawning notoriety that it gained; which we eagerly dive into. Jason charts the film’s reputation of being…
In this episode, we get metaphysical while diving into Liam Gavin’s 2016 feature: A Dark Song. Michael drills in on the film’s nuanced portrayal of grief and the power of film to impart feelings. Jason celebrates the subtlety of the story avoiding a more conventional resolution. Dustin chases down a side path charting the occult…
