Sinners (2025): Garbage Chute Review w/ Paris Burris

Howdy fiends and familiars! We are back down the chute this week with the hotly anticipated new joint from Ryan Coogler, Sinners. The full GoodTrash gang is here to tell you whether or not you should see this one. To do so, we're joined by filmmaker, podcaster, and programmer Paris Burris! Is Coogler's first original film in 13 years worth your time? We break it all down on this Garbage Chute Sinners review! Tune in now!

Cabaret (1972)

Willkommen, bienvenue... welcome fiends and familiars, ghouls and gals to the third blindspot in Dalton's lineup, Bob Fosse's Cabaret. This musical is set in Berlin in the early 1930s—it was a different time. But the film was developed amidst the Nixon era. So, it has politics and art. Or is that redundant? We look at the rise of Liza Minnelli, the style of Bob Fosse, and the antifascist messaging of Cabaret to see if there are any contemporary concerns to consider. Is it a good night at the club? Or another bust on an amateur stage? Tune in to find out as we discuss Cabaret. 

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

Well, ghouls and gals, Dalton's programming attempts are off to a solid start. This week, he keeps the crime motif running as we go back to 1985 and a pivotal voice in car chases with William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A.. Boasting a couple of mostly no-name leads in Willem Dafoe and William Petersen and a wild car chase, To Live and Die in L.A. takes us to the west coast in an explosive, subversive experience. But, is it all style an no substance? Find out as we analyze To Live and Die in L.A.!

King of New York (1990)

Fiends and familiars, our sincerest producer apologies... Dalton, well, Dalton has been given the reins to the show for the next few weeks. He's been tasked with covering some of his genre-rific blindspots. This week, to kick things off, he chose King of New York. Christopher Walken, cocaine, crime, a Robin Hood adjacent narrative? This movie seemingly has it all, but does it have much to say? We bring Abel Ferrara's King of New York to the analysis table to find out. Tune in now!

Inland Empire (2006)

Hello fiends and familiars! In our post-600 celebration, we've drifted back to the Wonderful Wizard Lynch.

To do so, we are joined by oft-mentioned GoodTrash friend Harper who has ridden the Lynch wave alongside Dalton. Our hosts come together this week to attempt to unpack and analyze what is oft considered the most Lynchian of Lynch's films. David Lynch, this one's for you! Tune in now!

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
