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! Summer is in full force making us all hot, sweaty and tired—so what better way to celebrate than with William Friedkin's thriller Sorcerer. This 1977 action thriller has gained quite the reputation in the last decade or two, but is it worth the re-evaluation? We talk about the politics of Friedkin, the faith story that might be presented, and much, much more as we get Sorcerer to the analysis table.

Ep. 559: Babylon (2022) with Caleb Masters
Thursday May 23, 2024
Thursday May 23, 2024
Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back with more Meta May shenanigans. This week, it's big, it's bombastic... it's Babylon. And we're not alone. Our old friend Caleb Masters, from over at The Cinematropolis and the Cinematic Schematic, joins us to break this one down. Damien Chazelle's follow up to First Man is an epic look back at Hollywood during its transitional period from the late 20s into the 30s. Somewhat divisive upon its release, the film has amassed a strong cult following. We evaluate what Babylon brings to the table, as well as dive deep into analysis on the themes and tropes running rampant throughout. So, grab your guy, your gal, or your pal and join us as we analyze Babylon.
