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!

Protect your cornbread at all costs friends because we're back with an all new episode. On this week's show, we go back to 1999 to celebrate Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence with the buddy comedy Life. We take a look at time, prison movies, race, and much more as we dissect this comedy.

Hustle & Flow (2005)

Hello friends and familiars! This week, we discover that it is hard out here for a podcaster. That's right, we're looking back two decades on the Academy Award-winning film Hustle & Flow. This underdog story had modest success opening opportunities for Craig Brewer and putting the Academy Spotlight on the Three 6 Mafia. But, after 20 years, how does it hold up? And does it have anything poignant to say? We discuss film stock, protagonist development, and the film's approach to a number of various themes. Join us now as we discuss Hustle and Flow.

Companion (2025): Garbage Chute Review

Happy V-Day! We are down the chute once more! This week, Dalton and our dear friend Kirsten made it out to the picture show for the new pic Companion. Touted as being from the studio that brought you The Notebook and the minds behind Barbarian, Companion built up a decent little buzz. But is it worth your time and well earned dollar? Dalton and Kirsten debate this and much more in their review of Companion. 

Deep Cover (1992)

The month moves along with a deep cut from 1992. Bill Duke (Predator) is behind the camera for this noir entry Deep Cover. Starring Larry Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum, Deep Cover has been deep under cover itself. A recent Criterion release changed its trajectory though allowing new audiences to find it, and find it we did. Find out whose Top 100 the film entered and how much we all gush about it. We discuss the benefits of publishers like Criterion and others who strive for film preservation. Join us for our analysis of Bill Duke's Deep Cover.
