In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we celebrate the works of Master of Horror George A. Romero. 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 away feeling pretty mixed about this curious piece of lost media. Listen in for our take and as always we encourage you to write in and tell us what you think.
