The Gen X Files

Join your ol' Stepdads as we discuss how Xtreme we are, the movies we've been watching, the TV shows we recommend, and how awesome some new games are!

For our third entry into our Gen-Xtreme month, we're Gleaming the Cube! Join Christian Slater, Max Perlich, Tony Hawk, and Tommy Guerrero as they tear up Orange County while trying to solve a murder. It's '80s skating at its absolute best! Written by Michael Tolkin, who would later get nominated for an Oscar for writing The Player, and directed by Graeme Clifford, who edited The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Our second Gen-Xtreme movie takes us to 1986, where everything was Rad! At least, if you lived in a fictional town in Oregon that's obviously Calgary. And if the town revered BMX racing so much, they expected a student and a an out-of-towner to dance with their BMX bikes at prom. Starring Bill Allen, Lori Loughlin, Talia Shire, and Ray Walston, with direction from Hal Needham, is the movie Rad, really Rad? Listen to find out!

Welcome to Gen-Xtreme! First up is BMX Bandits, the Australian movie that gave us Nicole Kidman. Kids just wanna BMX, but thieves have to steal and it's up to our intrepid teen heroes to stop them. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, the amazing Ozploitation director and starring David Argue.

Join your ol' stepdads as we discuss All That ZAZ!, including some new spoof movies that we saw, our recommendations for movies, TV, and video games, and maybe a surprise or two. Maybe. We're tired and can't remember what we talked about.
