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 race fans! It's that time of year where we begin looking back at the year that is and look at some blindspots to start catching up on what we might have missed. This 2023 in review begins with Arthur's pick, and he takes us to the track to talk about Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story. We realized a racing movie proper has not crossed the analysis table before, so Arthur waved the green flag to get us talking about this video game adaptation from Sony. We talk corporate brands and adaptations, racing, and much, much more! Join us now as we start looking back at the movies we missed in 2023.

Happy holidays friends! As America gears up for the biggest shopping day of the year, we thought we'd wrap up our 2018 look back with a tale of corporate greed and breaking down systems: Sorry to Bother You.

We talk about workers rights, capitalist systems, and much more as we gas up with Sorry to Bother You. Tune in now!

Hello fiends and familiars, WE are back and excited to be talking about the 2018 comic book tale VENOM. That's right, the beloved anti-hero from the Spider-verse finally gets his own movie—with no mention of Spider-man. Does it deserve being re-appraised after five years? Or is it truly trash to be left blowing down the street...like a turd in the wind?
We talk all about that, Marvel, the hero worship of smart billionaires and much more! So, join US as we talk about VENOM!

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!

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.
