Greg Araki's The Doom Generation This week Mr. Chavez & I explore the 1990s with a cult film that is remembered as an early classic of New Queer Cinema . Greg Araki's The Doom Generation is remembered as a violent and trashy exploration of 1990s alternative cinmea. A Gen X Bisexual Bonnie & Clyde/Badlands profile of alienation and stylized camp, Araki's film is the second edition of his "Teen Apocalypse Trilogy". For Mr. Chavez the episode is a nostalgic look at a film that left an impression; for me, the film is an attempt to understand a genre that was somehow missed. We both dive into a discussion sliding through our memories of the decade and our attitudes on what the genre and respective films would mean to a voice that had only been hinted at and often censored.
