Episode 078: Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)

from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this episode, we wrap up the year and our discussion on movies about making movies with a quick trip to the 90s. So join us as we dig in a little on our conflicting opinions about 90s Horror and finally discuss the Elm Street franchise for a little as we check out Wes Craven's New Nightmare from 1994. Jason charts the web of connections as this meta horror flick weaves reality with countless callbacks to the franchise. Dustin tries to weigh where the film succeeds against its failings. But before all that, Jason crosses an important Stephen King flick off his watchlist and Dustin doubles down with another rant about a poor Netflix adaptation. And so much more!
