Project GenX

Alan and Dave have been friends for thirty years, and that history comes through in every episode of Project GenX. Updated weekly, the podcast bills itself as conversations about "the stuff you like and some stuff you don't," which is a pretty accurate summary of its sprawling scope. The show covers movies, music, television, wrestling, and especially Halloween with a passion that borders on obsessive. Their annual "OctoberFest" episodes are a highlight, featuring deep looks at horror classics like The Evil Dead, Pumpkinhead, and Fright Night, complete with discussions of Stan Winston's practical effects work and Lance Henriksen's career. Regular contributor A'riel joins for episodes on kid's Halloween specials, while co-host Barry jumps in for wrestling segments covering AEW, WCW, and the WWF/WWE glory days. The show has racked up well over 200 episodes since launching in 2019 through Apple Podcasts and other platforms. Episodes covering Fight Club, The Crow, and Stephen King adaptations show that Alan and Dave aren't just casually nostalgic. They're genuinely knowledgeable about the films and culture of the 80s and 90s at what listeners have called "guru level."
