A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Hello cadets, we are back for another judgment decision as Dalton presents his next Darling to be decided. For this episode, we take a look at the 2000 sci-fi animated action story, Titan AE. With a strong voice cast and a veteran animated filmmaker at the helm, Titan AE had elements of becoming an animated classic. But, that is not quite what panned out. This week, we discuss animation, developmental hell, and much, much more as Dalton continues to Kill His Darlings while we bring Titan AE to the analysis table. Tune in now to hear our conversation!

We've come back, once again, to this place for magic...and sacrifice. That's right, Dalton has now been tasked with Killing His Darlings. To do so, he takes us first back to 1994 in an effort to re-evaluate the mixed media adventure, The Pagemaster. Following the success of two Home Alone films, Macaulay Culkin teams up with a crew of well-voiced books in order to find his way back to home and his live action body. We look back at a time of important literacy propaganda as we bring this one to the analysis table. Join us for our conversation covering The Pagemaster.

Good evening ladies, gents, and those who remain unaffiliated! This black tie affair is reserved for part three of the 2026 Summer of Lists: Academy Award what ifs. That's right, we're taking a look back at Oscar's nearly 100 years of history to identify the Best Picture nominees that probably should have won the big award. Come with us as we rewrite history and secure justice for some great movies—as you listen, we had one caveat, the winner had to come from the pool of nominees. Did we miss the mark? Do you strongly agree with some of our controversial choices? Let us know at goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com! Tune in next week as the Summer of Lists continues!

Ready to vibe dear listener? This week, we bring our Cinematic Syndication marathon to an end with the 2006 adaptation of Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Mann worked on the original series and took the helm of a notoriously troubled cinematic production with stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. Since then, the movie has earned a cult reputation—but, does it have anything going on? Or is it just a shiny distraction? We break down vibes cinema, troubled sets, storytelling, digital photography and much more as we bring Miami Vice into the analysis station. Join us now!

We're the GoodTrash GenreCast, and welcome to our Jackass episode. That's right, as we continue to look at shows moving from the small screen to the big screen, we take an unprecedented approach—one that might be the end of our show for good. Or so it seems. Dalton advocates hard for the rhetoric of Jackass: The Movie, while Dustin responds as though Johnny Knoxville threw him in the snake pit. Arthur tries to be the funny fat guy between them. Does it work? Does this movie have anything to say? Opinions differ wildly! So, tune in to our Jackass: The Movie analysis and please, don't try this at home!
