Hello friends, as the year winds down and we get into the holiday season, we find a time to reminisce. And, thinking back, we decided to evaluate some movies from 2018 to see if they're worth re-appraisal—either good or bad. Five years is a good amount of time for a movie to begin re-entering conversations. We start this marathon off this week with the Paul Feig suspense mystery that is filled with twists and turns, A Simple Favor. Does the movie work? How has it aged in the past few years? Should Blake Lively have Ryan Reynolds career? We discuss all of this and more on this episode; join us now!

Spoiler Discussion begins at 18:26
Hello friends, we're back with a special spoiler-filled review episode of the new Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon. The GoodTrash crew made it out to the talkies, and we found a few minutes to sit around discussing this epic western crime historical narrative. Does it warrant it's sixth-of-a-day run time? Should it be seen in a theater? Will Scorsese save Cinema? We ponder all of this and more.

Hello fiends and familiars! Shocktober XII: The Internationale continues. This week, we find ourselves south of the border in Mexico, for the cannibal tale We Are What We Are. It spawned a more prominent north of the border remake in 2013. But to keep it international, we watched the original story. We talk family, power dynamics, tradition, and much more on this week's show. Join us now as we breakdown this Mexican cult classic.

As our Series of Coen-cidences comes to a close, we, pardon the pun, bring the train into the station with Dustin's Host Pick: Throw Momma from the Train. This Billy Crystal-led ode to Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is an absurdist tale from co-star and director Danny DeVito. But, how does it hold up after all of these years? And how does it connect to the Coens? Tune in to find out!

Our Series of Coen-cidences takes us to the Appalachia region with a beloved thriller from Jeremy Saulnier in Blue Ruin. This story of a man out for revenge is oozing Coen Brothers.

Hello pals! Our Series of Coen-cidences continues this week with a trip to China. That's right, the Coen influence knowns no international limits. In 2009, Zhang Yimou remade Blood Simple setting it in a much different time and locale, but still tapping into the same primal themes in A Woman, A Gun, and a Noodle Shop. We talk adaptation, translation, the Coen Brothers and more in this week's show. Join us now!
