On the latest GenX Show, Jeff talks about the 1981 movie Dragonslayer. An amazing achievment in practical effects and "go motion" technology which was pioneered by stop motion wizard Phil Tippett. A movie that flopped upon release but is now considered a classic. Also Peter MacNicol before he got manipulated by Vigo the Carpathian.

Krull was a movie that was gorgeous. Set design, score, cinematogrophy, lighting and ambition to spare. Unfortunately it was let down by clunky and insipid dialoge, and excruciating pacing. This movie SHOULD have been better than it was but ... just wasn't. On the latest GenX Show Deep Dive, Jeff talks about this Peter Yates movies and wonders if this movie deserves re-appraisal or if it was too big for it's decidedly thin script.

Returning guest Joe Lipsett co-host of The Horror Queers joins Jeff to talk about Stranger Things season 4 episode 8 ... "The Van Scene" in particular. Does this depiction count as representation? Does the performance by Noah Schnapp heighten the scene. Jeff and Joe go through the scene, give thoughts on their own experiences growing up in the 1980's and if this rings true. Additionally does this performance fit into the Young Adult media cannon and what to look forward to next season.

Hello everyone. This week is the final instalment of "Kids Movies that Scared Us" series. Everyone has seemed to enjoy this trip down memory lane. This week is a re-post from my other podcast (CSG Podcast) from 3 years ago when I was experimenting with movie podcast amongst the other things I did. The audio isn't perfect so I did what I could to improve it. The Neverending Story ranks among Wolfgang Peterson's most distinctive movies. It also features a horse dying in the first 20 minutes. Knights getting lazered by nipple protruding sphinxes and tons of despair. Welcome to a great kids movie!

In 1979 Walter Murch was talking to some executives at Disney about making what amounted to a Wizard of Oz "sequel" but more in keeping with the spirit of L. Frank Baum the author of the book series. What came about was the darkest American fairy tale in keeping with the spirit of the author but failed at the box office in a big way. This week on the latest episode of Kids Movies that Scared Us month Jeff tackles the infamous Disney production; Return to Oz.

Kicking off Kids Movies that Scared Us month, Jeff sits down with TV Writer (Netflix Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and movie short director Joshua Conkel to talk about the Jim Henson cult 1982 masterpiece The Dark Crystal.

Jeff and Josh talk about the fascinating pre-production of the movie and how it went through some changes before it hit the big screen. What scared us the most? And in a brand new segment the two ask themselves "Will this movie be remade?"

Amazing conversation with a great and creative person.

Jeff takes you on a journey through the extremely dark underbelly of America's rural farms and sees Christopher Walken and Sean Penn in At Close Range (1986). A brutal, extremely dark yet eerily melancholy movie about family, crime and having a sadistic yet charming father/crime boss. This movie contains potentially Walken's best performance and Penn is at his early years peak.

Also, this movie is more famous for containing maybe Madonna's best song, Live to Tell. It plays in a slowed down instrumental version throughout the movie. This is one of a kind rural neo-noir.

Sit back and listen to Jeff as he has a couple glasses of Pinot and waxes nostalgic about Classic Rock Radio and how it fundamentaliy influenced the music of and listening habits of Generation X. Without Classic Rock Radio there's no Grunge, No Gangsta Rap, No Techno, No Country. The influence of Gen X listening to our parents music produced what you heard in the 90's. Jeff talks about it all.
