The term Xennial has come to fashion in the last 10 years or so. It's been used to apply to people born betweeen 1976-84. On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about how that term should apply to those born between 1981-84. How the inauguration of Ronald Reagan in 1981 started the change between GenX kids and Millennial and how parents fully started paying more attention to their children by 1984.

American of 1980 was NOT the America of 1981-82. Pre AIDS. Pre Reagan America.
William Friedkin's Cruising is a snapshot, believe it or not, of 1980. Before the fall. A surreal police procedural and pseudo American Giallo about a serial killer in the gay leather community sparked condemnation and outrage during the production. It has been reappraised since but what makes that movie so off puttingly effective?

1988 was the last, dying breath of 80's Horror....the best Horror decade. On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about the movies released that year and how the Erotic Thriller and Classy big budget tame horror movies killed the best era for gritty, home video horror.

It's spooky month on the GenX Show. It's not like we need an excuse to talk about horror films but why not, right? In that spirit Jeff takes on the 2008 Canadian Zombie/Virus film Pontypool. A movie about the loss of self, the loss of communication and the loss of purpose cloaked in the blood of virus. Special shout out to Stephen McHattie for putting on a great performance as Grant Mazzy in this film. He carries this big time.

A short episode talking about all the garbage buddy/detective/drama shows that sprang up in the 1980's. A veritable cacophany of extremely catchy theme songs, garbage dialog, ridiculous premises and ropey acting. I love them all. From Simon and Simon to Moonlighting ... here's the worst/best of the 1980's factory made dramas that tried to rip off Rockford Files.

David Lynch's Dune from 1984 is a massive failure on both a commercial and artistic scale. It was too weird to be a blockbuster and too blockbuster to be a weirdo independent film.
Dune's lasting legacy, however, is it spurred David Lynch on to go make the movies he was always meant to make. Gritty, weird neo-noir films starring Kyle MacLaughlin. How in failing on such a large scale led to maybe his best movie ... Blue Velvet.

In 1979 Dario Argento's cut of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead was a huge hit in Italy. To capitalize, Italian producers were looking to make a quick sequel. In comes Lucio Fulci and the most surreal, over the top, grotesque zombie movie of its era was born.
We also talk about the "Italian ripoff cinema" era and how gloriously bad it was. From the Bronx Warriors to The Last Shark. Italian cinema at its most absurd.

In 1979 Greek Egyptian Oviido Assinitis gave us the craziest Italian movie of the 1970's, The Visitor. A combination of Star Wars, The Omen and Italian Giallo woven into a batsh*t crazy tapestry. It features some of the greats of old Hollywood in John Huston, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, Mel Ferer and even director Sam Peckinhpah.

Netflix has been an issue in Hollywood. On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about the history of B Movies, their evolution, and how Netflix (specifically) has hollowed out the 'bread and butter' B movies that sustained Hollywood. It's not that people don't go to movie theaters anymore (which is sorta true) it's that what's available on streaming is either big budget extravaganzas or utter crap C movies.
