Episode 055: Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast

In this episode, we dive back in for another listener episode to round out our freestyle block with an all time great for Extreme Horror. Join us as we check out Ruggero Deodato's legendary and controversial classic Cannibal Holocaust. Jason chronicles the film's influential legacy and importance. Dustin details his suffering enduring the uncut version of the flick and tries to weigh the animal cruelty against the film's impact. Also, in honor of his recent passing we also recount some of our personal favorite Deodato flicks. But before all that, we took another Genre Exposure field trip to the cinema and can't help but gush over Infinity Pool. And so much more!
