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.

Hello dear friends! With a new year upon us, it is time to reflect back on the year in cinema for 2023. Overall, it was an incredible year—making it very tough to narrow down a Top Ten. But, we have managed to make that happen. So, here we are with our Top Ten Films of 2023 along with some fun superlatives. Who had the best performance? Which movie do we wish we'd seen on the big screen? Where did the best action take place? We discuss all of that in more in this fun retrospective over 2023. Join us now!

Extra! Extra! Anti-trash rolls on this week as continue moving through Sight and Sounds four greatest movies of all time. This week, we go pound for pound with what was long considered the greatest film of all time. That's right, we're stepping to Orson Wells masterpiece (?) Citizen Kane. With a long run at the top of the Sight and Sound list, Citizen Kane finally dropped to the number three spot in 2022 after initially losing its crown in 2012. So, how does the third greatest film of all time hold up? Is it a film studies essential? We discuss all that and more in our analysis of Citizen Kane.

Well dear friends, that is a wrap on 2023 in GoodTrash! And that means, it is time for our annual Shelvie Award celebration. As always, this is a look back at our year in GoodTrash—not a best movies from 2023 list. We will be doing that later in January 2024, so be on the lookout.
The Shelvie Awards are dedicated to us reflecting back on the movies we watched for this show, and highlighting the highs and lows. Which movies did we fall in love with for the first time? Which movie ignited new feelings upon a rewatch? And which one was the worst of the worst? We explore all of that before placing our top picks on the Platinum Shelf.
We hope you enjoyed the year, and we look forward to exploring some of the greatest films of all time and, of course, plenty of trash in 2024!

Hello movie fans, it's time for another Garbage Chute special episode. And this week, Arthur and Dalton talk about Emerald Fennell's sophomore feature Saltburn. This gothic inspired erotic thriller laden piece of a movie promises wild antics at a summer home, but does it deliver? Is there anything under the surface, or is it all substance? We take a look at that and try to determine if it's worth watching in our reviews of Saltburn.

Hello friends! While we wait on the main show to keep the 2023 in review going, Dalton and Arthur are here with a Garbage Chute special to talk about the new A24 joint starring Nicolas Cage, Dream Scenario. This high concept dramedy pits Nic Cage as Paul Matthews, an affable professor, who starts appearing in the dreams of others—persons known and unknown to Paul. Coming off the heels of Cage's Golden Globe nomination, we take a look at this movie to see if it's cooking something up under the hood or simply a dream that will fade away.
