6 days ago
Hello friends and familiars! We're back with some of that cherry-picked trash. Dalton loves discourse. So, we picked a focal point of discourse from 2020, Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman. Is it a femme Joker? Is it a superhero movie? Is it a high-heeled noir in disguise? We talk genre, vengeance, discourse, and much, much more as we bring Promising Young Woman to the analysis table.

As we move into the fall season, we thought we'd go to the great white north and hit the ice with the cult comedy Goon. This hockey sports comedy is irreverent but also very sweet. We talk about Sean William Scott, team dynamics, Au Hasard Balthazar, and much, much more. Join us at the analysis table as we unpack Goon.

GoodTrash Rewind: Paranormal Activity (2007)
Friday Oct 25, 2024
Friday Oct 25, 2024
Hello dear friends, due to a production issue—there is no new episode this week. Instead, to finish out Shocktober the 13th: Taped Terrors, we rewind back to Shocktober 7 and our discussion of Oren Peli's blockbuster found footage hit Paranormal Activity from episode 287.
"Dustin decided ghosts and found footage was the way to go for the second entry in our 7th annual Shocktober marathon. We quickly discuss whether we like the film or not, and then break into our game. This week's game is a discussion of our favorite cinematic demons. Finally, we get down to business to break open Paranormal Activity. Topics of found footage, film mythos, masculinity and more come up as we discuss Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity."

Hello ghouls, gals, and pals! It's the spooky season, and that means it is officially SHOCKTOBER! This year marks Shocktober the 13th, and we're looking at "Taped Terrors". This month, we're exploring the form of found footage. We kick things off with friend of the show Daniel Bokemper (The Cinematropolis; Flick Attack) as we discuss found footage and our first movie of the marathon, Lake Mungo. This Australian faux-documentary is quite disturbing, but is it found footage? We talk definitions, grief, trauma, and much, much more as we bring Lake Mungo to the analysis table. Join us now!
