Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Analysis of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The sun hasn't set on the westerns yet. We're back from our ocean cruise to talk the 1969 classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Our journey back into anti-trash is exciting as Arthur defends one of his all-timers from the crazed ramblings of Dalton and Dustin. Along the way, we talk American Folklore/Legends we want on screen. The gang opens up Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to see what it's all about. These wranglers talk the New Hollywood, commodification of art techniques in film, genre, and the gay subtext that people usually bring up in accordance with the film.

It's a massive episode 300 as we set sail with one of the biggest movies of all time, Titanic. James Cameron's landmark romantic epic was the first film to cross the $1 Billion mark, and it stayed at the top of the box office for a record 15 weeks. It was a pop culture phenomenon that earned 11 Oscar Wins and 14 Total Nominations. One of the most highly recognized films of the modern era, Titanic is a juggernaut in many ways. So, what bigger movie to celebrate 300 episodes with than Titanic. In honor of 300, we bring in voices from the past, including Alex Bohannon, Caleb Masters, Kirsten Therkelson, Heath Huffman and a supernatural appearance from Nick Sanford. We skip the game this week to fully delve into the material, we talk meme culture, try to analyze GoodTrash and the prestige that surrounds Titanic. Topics of gender presentation and class standings follow. We also make a special announcement about an upcoming giveaway you can be part of, so tune in and follow us on Twitter @Good_Trash for more information!

Yojimbo — GTGC #299

Our western walkthrough continues as we go... *checks notes* east today. Huh. That's right, we're bringing our trademark style of analysis to Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. It's the story of a lone wolf rolling into town to capitalize on chaos between two warring families—so, it's definitely a western. It also serves as the inspiration for the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone classic, A Fistful of Dollars, which we covered on the show on episode #218. This week, we take Yojimbo to the analysis table to discuss the genre, transposing the story, define art house cinema, and discuss the cult of branding. But, before any of that takes place, we play a game. This week, we discuss Stories Retold in New Settings. Tune in now and share your thoughts on Yojimbo with us on Twitter (@Good_Trash).

Happy new year everyone! January brings with it awards a'plenty and we're prepared! That's right, it's time for our annual AntiTrash marathon—and this year, it's themed. We're going west this year and tackling some of the finest western cinematic wines we can find. From the 30s to the present, we're going to talk about some of the marquee westerns that have had critics talking for decades. In this episode, we explore our familiarity with the genre, offer quick reviews and play our weekly game—this week, Watershed Genre Moments. After all of that, we do what we came to do and open up Stagecoach to a deeper analysis—we talk genre, archetypes, John Wayne, race, sex and much more.
