GTGC #271 The Loveless
Saturday Jun 23, 2018
Saturday Jun 23, 2018
Welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast, the GoodTrash GenreCast. On this week's episode, we travel back to the 80s to talk motorcycles and leather jackets. Our focus this week? Kathryn Bigelow's directorial debut, The Loveless. In addition, it is also Willem Defoe's feature debut, as well.
Riding with The Loveles
The Loveless is co-written and co-directed by Bigelow and Monty Montgomery. It's the story of a biker gang, led by Defoe, who ride into a small town. The locals aren't too fond of these leather-clad miscreants and tense up, hoping they won't cause trouble. What ensues is an existential study on outsiders, masculinity and classicism in the 50s.
We were a bit taken aback by our thoughts on The Loveless. It wasn't quite what we expected, but we were quite intrigued. In this episode, we play our weekly game; this week, Cinema's Best Bad Boys. Afterwards, we pull into analysis. We try to frame this debut into the rest of Bigelow's filmography. We also discuss the theme's that are rampant in the film, and some of her other works. After all of that, we make the final verdict—shelf or trash.
So grab your chaps, it's time to ride off with The Loveless.

Welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast! This week, we wrap up our discussion of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy. That's right, the wall crawler is back, and we're going to do our best to find out if he's friend or foe!
Upside Down with Spider-Man
Our mega 2-parter on the Spider-Man trilogy concludes this week with a sweet 60 minutes of pure analysis.
In this week's show, we dive deep into the trilogy. Deep dives into auteurism and Raimi's relationship with Sony occur. We also discuss the portrayal of females and how masculinity is represented throughout the franchise. Dustin moves us into the politics of Raimi's Spider-Man and puts it into perspective against the events of 9/11. All of that and more on this week's show.
After that, we of course decide whether it is shelf or trash, and then we make recommendations to go along with it.

HEREDITARY SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE
Hello dear listener!
Your favorite film analysis podcast is back with a raw recording of our thoughts over the new A24 production, Hereditary!
The boys got together and went to the movies, and they were joined by GoodTrash's very own Frightful Femme, Kirsten Therkelson! On this episode, we got in the car right after the movie to record our hottest of hot takes. Does Hereditary live up to the hype? Is Toni Collette really that good? And will we ever be able to sleep again? You'll find all of that information and more in this bonus show.
We tried to hold off on spoilers, but after about 10 minutes, Dustin let it all hang out. So, there are some heavy spoilers ahead.

GTGC # 269 -Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy, Part 1
Friday Jun 08, 2018
Friday Jun 08, 2018
You read that title correct, dear listener. For the first time ever, we've got a two-parter on our hands! It seemed fitting that tackling a multipart franchise should lead to multiple episodes. So, buckle in for the first half of our discussion of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man.
Radio-Broadcast Spider-Man
This episode breaking down into two parts was completely unintentional. But, it's a fun turn of events. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy had a major impact in the early aughts. The tale of Peter Parker hit cinemas in 2002 and, along with Blade and X-Men, showed that there was a market for comic book adaptations. Now, 16 years and dozens of Marvel and DC adaptations later, how does Raimi's work hold up? That's what we seek to uncover.
The trilogy starts off with Spidey's origin, which is probably second or third in the most-known origins, behind Bats and Superman. After being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker develops powers similar to a spider. Over the course of three films, he does battle with a variety of tragic and petty villains while also dealing with his own ego, identity and life balance. And through it all, he must realize that, "With great power, comes great responsibility."
On part one of this shindig, we give our reviews of the trilogy and where it sits with us in 2018. We try to give all three parts a fair shake, with a pretty decisive winner. We also attempt to redeem part three, due mostly to all of the dancing! Then, we play our game wherein we highlight our favorite moments from the trilogy.
And after we play our game, well.. Find out on this week's show.

GTGC #268 Prince of Darkness
Friday Jun 01, 2018
Friday Jun 01, 2018
Welcome back one and all to your favorite film analysis podcast! We gather around the candles and pentagrams this week to discuss a Patreon-awarded show, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. That's right, the modern master of suspense makes his way back to the GenreCast analysis table for the sixth time—this time it's thanks to Brigham Cole, so thanks Brigham!
Dining with the Prince of Darkness
John Carpenter's cult classic is the second part of the Apocalypse Trilogy, which begins with The Thing and ends with In the Mouth of Madness. While not narratively connected, the films share a thematic thread. Prince of Darkness tells the story of a group of research students and a priest (Donald Pleasance) who discover a container of glowing green evil in an abandoned church. The evil goo soon begins to infect the troupe, and the survivors must figure out how to win the day, or welcome the end of the world.
After we quickly review the film, we talk about our Favorite Film Trilogies—this is also a setup for our next episode. We then get down to analysis. On this weeks show, we discuss the film's potential critique on social issues. The topic of studio influence and Carpenter's career comes up.
Oh, it appears Alice Cooper is outside. See you all next week!
