2023-07-281h 59Genre Reveal Party!Cruising: What We’re Doing Is Affecting Us with guest Max FoxThis week we discussed Cruising, William Friedkin's highly controversial 1980 film starring Al Pacino as a cop who goes undercover to catch a serial killer who's targeting gay men in the underground subculture of S&M and leather bars of New York City. Joining us this week to help us think about this confusing, confused, and fascinating film is writer, editor and translator Max Fox. We talk about attempts to sabotage the production of the film in the summer of '79 by gay protestors, the ways this film has been re-considered more recently, as well as James Franco's...

2023-07-142h 06Genre Reveal Party!The Royal Tenenbaums: We're Not Related By BloodThis week we took some time to revisit The Royal Tenenbaums, a film neither of us had seen in about twenty years, but which falls very clearly into this season's theme of films about family with lots and lots of genre troubles. We chatted about Wes Anderson's career, the politics of his aesthetics, and also what we didn't notice about this film in our late teens. Spoilers: hot pink, hot goss on Gene Hackman, the hipsterdom of hating other hipsters, needle dropping, castration anxiety, Richie's suicide scene should be edited out George Lucas style, CD players with...
2023-07-071h 54Genre Reveal Party!Caché: We Did Not Send the Tapes with guest Bettina JohnsonThis week we discussed Caché, the 2005 French film by Austrian director Michael Haneke, starring Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, and Maurice Bénichou, and suggested by our guest Bettina Johnson. Caché is about a well-off French family terrorized by a series of surveillance videotapes left on their front porch. This terror reverberates from the Paris Massacre of 1961, which had only recently been acknowledged by the French government when the film was made more than four decades later. Through the course of the film, we see how this unspeakable moment in history and the horrors of colonialism haunt generations.
2023-06-302h 00Genre Reveal Party!Fate of the Furious: We Are the Crocodile at the Watering Hole with guests Em Gonzalez and Jo GiardiniWe learned so much in this episode about the meaning of family, freedom, and driving real fast. While Dave was a fan already, Madeline had never seen a Fast & Furious movie, so we called on two experts to fulfill this mission: Em Gonzalez and Jo Giardini. Em and Jo help us unpack everything from the geopolitical to the penis allusions of the entire franchise. Most of the discussion is about the eighth installment, Fate of the Furious, and none of the discussion requires any previous knowledge of any of it.Spoilers: Vin Diesel impressions, no...

We discussed the political legacy of Star Trek and recent series in the franchise, and the ways that sci-fi can help us better understand what exactly it might mean to "abolish the family."Spoilers: woke mob borg, the family form, the correct pronunciation of "Data," nostalgia, Troi and her outfits, father stuff.M.E.

2023-06-161h 31Genre Reveal Party!THE MICHAEL DOUGLAS TRILOGY: When Did We Have the Power? with guest Jasmine BridgesThis week we're getting into some cringe-rotic territory with a conversation about THE MICHAEL DOUGLAS TRILOGY: Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Disclosure (1994). Spanning from the Reagan era into the Clinton years, this trilogy features so many flavors of feminist backlash. These films have different directors, writers, producers, and co-stars, but what they have in common is The Michael Douglas Character and his lady problems. To help us understand all this, we called on Jasmine Bridges, Madeline's best friend since the 9th grade, to tell us about the erotic thrillers of this time, and much more.

In our first episode of the podcast, Dave and Madeline made some provisional genre reveals (Dave said "American satire accordion," and Madeline said "at worst, cluster-fuck, at best, meta-cluster-fuck"). Now that we've reached the conclusion of Succession, we're going to make our final calls on the genre reveal with guest Kyle Lane-McKinley. Kyle and Madeline know each other pretty well.

While A Serious Man is certainly Coenesque or Coensy, we wanted to think more about the film's genre and the politics of Jewish humor with our guests, Daniel and Sheera.

It's a film deeply concerned with the question of what makes a family. What does it mean to be a family? How is 'family' defined by the state and private property? And how might we describe forms of care and survival in other terms? We talk about how the film grapples with these questions and more. Spoilers: noodles, child liberation, kidnapping, theft, more noodles, the care commune. Thanks to Adwoa Agyepong for recommending Shoplifters!Follow us @genrerevealpod on Instagram and Twitter....
