In this episode, a listener suggestion takes us to the early days of the “elevated horror” phenomenon and the meteoric rise of production studio A24. So join us as we check out Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin from 2013. Jason settles in for a first time watch on what is often a pretty divisive film. Dustin, already a fan, tries to run down the various folklore influences and possible interpretations of the story. But before all that, the Halloween times are upon us and we’ve got plenty of films old and new to dish on including our near ritual like devotion to view and discuss the latest VHS franchise entry. And so much more!
Special thanks to Andrew for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film? We want to check out the movies you suggest to us. Write in at genreexposure@gmail.com or contact us on your favorite form of social media and shoot us a movie recommendation.
