  • The Gen X Files 266 - Top Secret!
    Mar 20 2026

    For our final entry into All that ZAZ! month, we answer the question, "How does one follow up the monster smash hit that was Airplane!?" Unfortunately, the answer is, "not that easily." Top Secret! is the feature film debut of Val Kilmer, though, so Top Gun fans can thank ZAZ for unleashing him into the world. A weird mashup of a World War II spy thriller, a '50s Beach movie, and their take on Elvis, Top Secret! has some great scenes, but does it all add up? Find out when you listen to the episode!

  • The Gen X Files 265 - Airplane!
    Mar 13 2026

    For our second entry into All that ZAZ!, we're going to be covering the grandaddy of all spoof movies: Airplane! Based on Zero Hour, which was recorded by accident by ZAZ, it is one of the highest grossing and critically lauded comedies of all time. The brilliance of casting serious drama actors, like Peter Graves, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Leslie Nielsen, not only changed their careers, but changed the landscape of comedy in Hollywood, forever.

With support from Henry Gibson and Evan C. Kim. Directed by John Landis!

  • The Gen X Files 261 - The American President
    Feb 13 2026

    For our next President in our Good Presidents month, we hit up the quintessential American President: The American President. Generic name? Sure. Love story or political drama? Both. With amazing performances from Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, and Michael J. Fox; witty writing from Aaron Sorkin; and deft direction from Rob Reiner, the American President is a movie that we need right now.
