Episode 115: Celebrating the Halloween Franchise

About this episode

The hosts celebrate the Halloween franchise with a casual discussion about their favorite aspects and personal experiences.

In this special super-sized bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we used the spooky season this year to discuss at exhaustive length the titular franchise: Halloween. From favorite kills to the coolest incarnation of Michael Myers, we spill our guts and geek out over our history and experiences with the complete franchise. Nothing fancy, and we're not trying to reinvent the wheel or give some deep analysis you've never heard before. Just two horror nerds gushing our hearts out in a more casual chat guided only by a handful of topics we selected in advance to fuel discussion. And of course we throw down the gauntlet and take to the battlefield with our own rankings of the series as well. So from all of us at Genre Exposure, we wish you a very Happy Halloween and hope that, like us, you get the chance to spend at least part of it soaking up the Fall vibes of Haddonfield and its very special Boogeyman. But before all that, we dish on more of our October watches including some surprising first time watches plus get hyped about Rhonda Shear and Up All Night returning and, hey, does anyone else remember Michael Jackson's Ghosts? And so much more! Part of the Prescribed Films Podcast…
