So in the midst of recording our episode on 2017's best movies, we were discussing the perception of genre films that achieve critical acclaim when a debate broke out regarding the definition of horror and science fiction movies, particularly with how those two genre labels apply to The Shape of Water and Get Out.
It's unclear whether we reached definitive answers on some of the questions asked, and while the discussion felt a bit long to include in the finished episode, we thought we'd present it here for your consideration. We're interested to get some feedback from you on what constitutes horror and science fiction and the public perception of those genres.
