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.

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!
