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.

After a delay in our return to earth, we finally bring you the conclusion of our AntiTrash Sci-Fi Marathon with a look at the lauded apocalyptic drama, Melancholia. That's right, Lars von Trier finally rears his head on the podcast. We take this tale to the analysis table in order to see what's firing under the hood. This week, we're discussing depression and mental health, the theory of hyperobjects, reader response theory, Don't Look Up parallels, and much, much more!
