18 OCT 2024 · American of 1980 was NOT the America of 1981-82. Pre AIDS. Pre Reagan America.Â
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?Â
Jeff talks about that, his own experience with the movie, and how we need to see these snapshots as a gay community in order to understand how we got from there to here.
Enjoy the show!Â

11 OCT 2024 · Dead Ringers, Night of the Demons, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Critters 2, The Gate, Childs Play, Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, Waxwork and much MUCH more.Â
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.Â

3 OCT 2024 · 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.Â

23 AUG 2024 · Magnus returns to the GenX Show to review the Smashing Pumpkins brand new album Aghori Mhori Mei. A true heavy rock rifftastic pleasure that was a much needed step in the right direction after the synth laden Atum and Cyr. Did it live up to expectation? Jeff and Magnus discuss.
In the second half Jeff and Magnus talk about the history of the Pumpkins post first breakup in 2000. Up and down albums with some great and some pretentious touring. Does the new album show a new way for the band?

14 AUG 2024 · 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.

6 JUN 2024 · Starting a new series here on The GenX Show. The next four episodes (the month of June) is all about growing up latchkey ... aka Growing up with little to no parental supervision.Â
This is a very short introduction essay episode where I talk about the societal factors that came together to form a generation who didn't have any parents around. What was going on with the Boomer generation and how their rejection of their parents oppressive perfect family conservatism led to a divorced/professional household with no one around.
Hope everyone enjoys the series!Â
