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.

GoodTrash Live! - The Fable of Shannon Cable

Wednesday Jun 08, 2016

Hello Dear Listener, and welcome! This bonus episode is the audio from our recent live show (6/3/2016) in which we discuss Planet Thunder Productions' The Fable of Shannon Cable that we hosted at the Parish in the Plaza District of Oklahoma City. If you made it out, thank you so much! We hope to continue hosting these types of events, so again, thank you!

This week Dalton, Caleb, and Alex took the supernatural, mystery musical to the analysis table before hosting a Q&A with producers, Zachary and Jacob - The Burns Bros. The panel kicks off with the three amigos giving their quick reviews of the film to which there is a unanimous response. The analysis then starts up with Dalton kicking things off. Dalton mentions cycles of violence and the portrayal of rape in the media. This is his one major issue with the film - a tonal shift in relation to a rapey moment in the film. Caleb takes over from here as he discusses the role of fables in storytelling. Going all the way back to Aesop, Caleb highlights the role and evolution of fables and their place in culture and the impact theirin on ideology. Alexandra takes us all home as she gives a genre reading. Shannon Cable is a mashup of several genres and Alex takes on the task of identifying how these multiple genres works together to reinforce the themes and narrative at play.

After all of this, The Burns Bros and Clint Kubat all make appearances on stage to answer a few questions about the making of the film. Zach and Jacob both served as producers while Jacob is also credited as the cinematographer. Clint Kubat stars as Spooks, one of the singing, ethereal spirit removers. Its a really fun interview that allows the audience to see some inside baseball about the filmmaking process.

Again, thanks to The Parish, Planet Thunder Productions, and most of all YOU, dear listener. We do this to have a conversation about film, to build up the identity of film and arts culture and to have fun. So thank you so very much for tuning in.
