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.

Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back for another adventure. We dust off our fedoras and take on the fourth chapter in the Indiana Jones franchise: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from 2008. The much maligned fourth film is being brought up in light of a brand new entry: Dial of Destiny. Has Crystal Skull aged like a fine wine? Or is it still a stinking relic? We're joined by writer, editor, and all around fun friend, Lucas Dunn. On this episode, we get to the analysis table to talk mid-1900s politics, passings of torches, Shia LaBeouf, and much more. Join us now as we work through another Indiana Jones tale.
