A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Ep. 472: Escape from New York (1981)

Hello pals, and welcome back to the GenreCast! It's been 10 years of serving up trash, and we're (mostly) celebrating all month long with the movies we've talked about the most without ever having done on the show. But first, we're going full circle back to John Carpenter, who we discussed way back on episode one, as we discuss Escape from New York. The dystopian action adventure starring Kurt Russel is an iconic entry in both men's filmography, but how does it hold up in 2022? We talk John Carpenter as auteur, men as islands, action stars, and much, much more as we unpack Escape from New York and celebrate 10 Years of Trash!
