  • The Gen X Files 296 - God Told Me To
    Oct 16 2026

    Another weird little '70s cosmic horror movie. But this one has God! And naked ladies going into spaceships! And Tony Lo Bianco! And Sandy Dennis! And Debra Raffin! And Steven Lynch! And the amazing Sylvia Sidney (not Sydney Sweeney like I just tried to type). From the twisted mind of Larry Cohen, God Told Me To is a great send-up of faith and what blind devotion really means.

  • The Gen X Files 295 - Messiah of Evil
    Oct 9 2026

    Our second '70s cosmic horror movie is Messiah of Evil, a low-budget flick about a woman trying to find her missing father in a tiny coastal California town. It's written and directed by the couple that would eventually write and direct Howard the Duck, so you KNOW we're in for some insanity. It has a really strange production story and gnaws at your brain after you see it.

  • The Gen X Files 292 - Wanted Dead or Alive
    Sep 18 2026

    To end our Gene Simmons, Greatest Villain of the '80s? month, we swing that pendulum so far back from the brilliance that was Never Too Young to Die, that we land firmly in the camp of Gene Simmons is a terrible actor. It's sad, after the brilliance that was Velvet Von Ragnar. Wanted Dead or Alive is based on a TV show from the late '50s, starring Steve McQueen. Along with Gene Simmons, the movie stars Rutger Hauer, Robert Guillame, Mel Harris, and William Russ.
