53. Canuxploitation Films, feat. Jim Laczkowski of Director’s Club
Genre Grinder
ALRIGHT, YA HOSERS, GRAB YOUR PLAID TRAPPER HAT, YOUR MOOSEHEAD, AND YOUR BIGGEST BOWL OF POUTINE – WE’RE CHECKING OUT SOME CANADIAN HORROR MOVIES! You can’t talk about the greatest horror and exploitation films of the ‘70s and ‘80s without including our neighbors to the North. Canadian horror – or canuxploitation – is a broad subject that covers several subgenres, so Gabe and returning guest Jim Laczkowski have limited their scope to four favorites that don’t include David Cronenberg or Bob Clark: Alan Ormsb & Jeff Gillen’s Deranged (1974), Peter Carter’s...

50. [Blank] in Wonderland Movies, feat. Betsy of Your Favorite Monsters
Genre Grinder
COME WITH US AS WE TUMBLE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, PASS THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, ENTER THE WARDROBE, AND RIDE A TORNADO TO OZ! It’s time to cover one of my favorite subgenres: movies where people cross over into another world where they learn a lesson and meet a bunch of walking metaphors. This episode’s guest host, Betsy, calls these Portal Fantasies and notes similarities to the popular anime/manga Isekai genre, but I’m afraid that those titles will mess up my search results, so I’m calling them [Blank] in Wonderland Movies. We’re trying to cover some of the rarer...

Genre Grinder
IT’S SEQUENTIAL DRAWINGS VERSUS FLESH & BLOOD ACTORS IN A SHOWDOWN OF MULTIMEDIA PROPORTIONS! Since the advent of filmmaking, people have been combining live-action photography with hand-drawn animation and now we’re talking about it. But this is a podcast and we don’t have time to cover a century of motion pictures, so Gabe and returning guest Tyler Foster are covering a smaller collection of movies released in the wake of Robert Zemeckis’ Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), some inspired by its success, others that would have existed without it. This month’s diverse...

Genre Grinder
A DEAD WOMAN WITH THE SOUL OF A MAN! A MURDEROUS MAN WHO CAN TRANSFORM INTO A WOMAN! PROBABLY JUST A COINCIDENCE! Have you ever noticed that Hammer Studios made two horror films that work as trans allegories? Well, technically three, but I forgot about one of them. Anyway, I’ve been curious for a while as to what an actual trans person might think of Terence Fisher’s Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) and Roy Ward Baker’s Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971), so I invited back my friend and the co-host of the , Luana Saitta, in order to pick her brain (Frankenstein-related wordplay...

Episode 47: Jaws, Minus the Shark Movies, feat. Ann-Marie Taylor
Genre Grinder
YOU DON’T NEED TO GO TO AMITY ISLAND FOR A SHARK MASSACRE!! IN FACT, YOU DON’T EVEN NEED A SHARK!! It’s easy to recognize a Jaws knock-off when it revolves around a shark eating people, but what about all of those movies without sharks that lift scenes and ideas from Steven Spielberg’s film and Peter Benchley’s novel? Well, around here we call those movies “Jaws, Minus the Shark” movies and they make up a surprisingly versatile and eclectic little subgenre, one full of Brodys, Quints, and inordinately sexy Hoopers. Join Gabe and Ann-Marie Taylor – returning to...
info_outlineThe local authorities described it as an unprovoked, spontaneous explosion of homicidal violence, but the actual cause has been shrouded in mystery, following a brisk cover-up by unknown government agencies.
By some accounts, more than 300 people lost their lives that day, including multiple members of the popular rock bands Dokken and Loverboy.
What follows is the only known evidence of the event: a 5:00 pm broadcast from radio station KLLR, in which Drive at Five deejays Dippy “Mo” Mclean and Rusty Claymore conveyed vital instructions to the local populace.
This is a complete and unedited account of their bravery in the face of certain doom. Listener discretion is advised.
