![]() Um, So that's the vast definition of exploitation. I don't think it's ever really happened, you know. Have you ever been to a party (04:04): where a couch shot out of the chimney and into the pond? I mean it's a pretty nice party. Yeah, you're basically they're exploiting, um, some of the seedier aspects of humanity most times, sure, like murder or sex, like weird sex, that kind of thing sex, weird sex, teenage is rebelling against parents, sure, like weird science. That's one way (03:44): of looking at exploitation films. So one of the broader definitions of exploitation films is basically anything that's really like over the top, that is beyond reality, um or that maybe focuses on people's fears, um uh, their their sexuality, um and basically just kind of serves it up in a larger than life manner. Yeah, there's a big wave of teen exploitation films and we'll (03:22): get to that. The Breakfast Club is technically an exploitation film. Yeah, but the problem is is, like, really, if you start to look around John Hughes, films technically are exploitation films. The only the only reason it, like, I was able to complete because I'm like, this is it's a movie, but I walked out of it like (03:02): it's so over the top, it's so gory. It's the most graphically violent movie I've ever seen in my life. It was okay, um this one is it's the most violent thing I've ever seen in my life. I've seen um uh, what's (02:40): the other one? He did the Vampire movie first. Yeah, they got old Boy is one of the main characters. I think he said, more violent than Old Boy. It's by the guy who did um The Tale of Two Sisters. So, Chuck, (02:20): I went and saw a movie the other day called I Saw the Devil. You can't say exploitation without they weren't exploiting, just people being nice, right, nice exploitation. I can't talk about exploitation films without talking about some lurid subject matter. It's just a natural byproduct of the exploitation film. Yeah, we don't generally try to alienate on it says we're not attempting to now. This is also probably the first podcast that we're gonna say if you are a teacher of children in eighth grade or younger, and you're using (01:52): this as a teaching tool, you might want to go to the one before this or the one after. So we decided to focus on exploitation films. ![]() Um So this is by by popular request to an extent, people want to see like, um I want they want to hear us talk about movies and just do a movie podcast. Yeah, we've mentioned movies of course (01:28): all the time, but this one is like, this is all about movies. ![]() ![]() That's yeah, okay, sure, Um, this is Uh, this is our first ever movie centric podcast, right, movie centric for sure. Frankly, I am a little excited, Chuck, I'm a little giddy. (01:06): This is Stuff you Should Know the podcast and kind of a special edition. Welcome to Stuff you Should Know from House Stuff Works dot com. ![]() So give it a shot, and if you've already listened to it, give it another shot, (00:43): is what I suggest. So I just remember really enjoying recording this one and got great feedback on it. And Uh, this one was an easy pick because I like all of our movie episodes and I think Josh might have put (00:22): this one together way back in the day when we recorded it, and it was just really cool, and um, not only do we get to talk a lot about just some of the great exploitation films, but just a little bit about the history and how they came about. This week I decided to go with how Exploitation Films Work from April four, two thousand eleven. Speaker 1 (00:01): Hey, everybody, This is Chuck and welcome to this week's edition of the Stuff You Should Know Saturday Curated selects. ![]()
