from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this episode, we dig into another listener suggestion, leading us to our first formal discussion on the works of Walter Hill. So join us as we check out his rock and roll fable Streets of Fire from 1984. Jason weighs whether the film actually counts as a musical or not. Dustin runs down the movie's long reaching influence despite poor box office performance. But before all that, we've got an update on The Acolyte and Dustin dishes on a must pick up new release blu-ray for Japanese film collectors. And so much more! Special thanks to Jorge for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film?
