The Gen X Files 187 - The Serpent and the Rainbow

The Gen X Files ·

2024/09/13

Today, we celebrate Friday the 13th by exploring our second Bill Pullman film, and his first leading role: The Serpent and the Rainbow, directed by Wes Craven. It's a weird fever dream of drugs and zombies and voodoo and the political turmoil of Haiti in the mid-'80s. It's a hell of a journey. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

The Gen X Files ·

Co-starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold, and Helen Slater. --- Support this podcast:

The Gen X Files 184 - Top Dog

The Gen X Files ·

2024/08/23

Our last Dog Days of August film is also perhaps the worst film we've ever covered: Top Dog. It was so bad, it killed Chuck Norris's theatrical career. A mish-mash of genres with a tone that jumps around more than a kid in a bouncy castle, it's mostly noted because it came out 9 days after the Oklahoma City bombing... and features a terrorist group attempting to bomb a Unity rally. It's just bad. But the dog is good! Reno is a good boy! And a Briard, which is a breed of dog we

Now for perhaps the best dog movie of the month (let's not discuss the ending): Turner & Hooch, starring Tom Hanks, Craig T. Nelson, Reginald VelJohnson, Mare Winningham, and John McIntire. Almost directed by Henry Winkler, but actually directed by Roger Spottiswoode. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

2024/08/09

Take the younger brother of a famous comedian trying to make his own name and a police dog that doesn't play by the rules, and you get K-9, the 1989 film starring James Belushi and Rando the German Shepherd as Jerry Lee. It's a mystery that James Belushi needs to solve, and only Jerry Lee can help. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

What happens when you ask Chevy Chase to make a dog movie? You make him a P.I. and kill him off, only to be reborn as BENJI! It's Oh! Heavenly Dog, the weirdest Benji movie ever made. Starring Chevy Chase, Jane Seymour, Omar Sharif, and Benji! Written and directed by Joe Camp. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

2024/07/12

What happens when an actor gains too much celebrity? You get Hudson Hawk, a Bruce Willis vehicle that had just a little too much Bruce Willis in control. It's a perfect example of how not saying no to someone can make a movie so so so much worse.

2024/07/05

Howard the Duck was a pet project for George Lucas, who, upon realizing that doing a live-action adaptation with a CGI lead wasn't going to work, lost interest and handed it over to Will Huyck and Gloria Katz, who wrote American Graffiti with Lucas. This was just the beginning of a long mess of a production, leading to one of the biggest Blockbuster Bombs of all time.
