Show Notes
This week DPP is joined by filmmaker William Garcia Bigelow [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3123571/?ref_=tt_ov_1_1] of Sometime the Wolf (2025), Attrition (2013) and The Couple.
Chase and Will discuss Danny Boyle's directorial debut Shallow Grave [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRbvZ7WwHhc] (1994). Sam, who once briefly lived in a massive flat in Edinburgh as a toddler, (many heinous crimes were committed there), is off sick.
In his absence, Chase and Will try to figure out why young professionals in the 1990s were flat sharing and whether Gen X is innately doomed to murder each other.
In what ways does Shallow Grave foreshadow the nihilism and violence of later generational films like Trainspotting?

After a year, your hosts are ready to wrap Gen X. Season One is at a close. What did we learn about the self-professedly forgotten generation? What has Banksy to do with the spirit of the age? And, most importantly we answer the question that started it all: how did the dirty girls end up in the K-Hive?
DPP is back, baby — and this time for an encore. Chase and Sam thought they'd round out the season — find a 'capstone', if you will — for the last year. That pediment takes the form of Chris Smith's fly-on-the-wall documentary American Movie (1999).
Fear the coming of the trilby. Yes, that's right — today, in the last episode of our first season, we're looking at Gen X accelerating towards middle age and a crash encounter with those coming up behind them: millennials.
