Nearly 10 years since our last post, the brain trust of Dead Red Eyes has decided to do it again. Our latest mid-life crisis has proven to be fruitful and after a lot of meditation and medication, we’ve decided to make our much anticipated come back and rebrand ourselves; GenfliX.
Why you ask? Because we’re bored. We’re in our late 40s, married and we can’t pull off all night benders like we used to (it would sure help if there were places open all night though). Not that drinking turmeric cashew milk lattes isn’t great; but when your idea of a good time is watching AI generated cat videos while you eat cold cauliflower crusted pizza for breakfast, it’s time to shake things up.
For those of you who remember us (hi Mom!), we were upstart not young/not old content creators who thought we’d take a stab at making videos and write about them, amongst other things. Now, we’re still not young but getting pretty damn close to old and the clock is ticking. Ticking towards what? Towards the the first live action Masters of the Universe movie since 1987! That and, of course, the reason that makes all the blood, sweat and beers all worth it; our first social security check. Yep, sure can’t wait until we’re 96.
But I digress. I’m sure you have gathered by now after reading this nonsensical yet highly witty diatribe that we are from Generation X. The generation that made depression cool and mass school shootings a thing was not only the last generation to grow up with beepers, Zima and analog porn; but also the last generation to grow up with good movies. We will discuss movies made from 1980-1999 and tackle topics like why we’re so cool and how you can be more like us. Or at least watch better and more interesting movies than Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
