Ep. 519: Popeye (1980)

Welcome back dear friends! We're back and keeping the family fun on the agenda this week. Our selection, pairing nicely with canned spinach, is none other than the infamous Robert Altman production: Popeye. This Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall-led musical is well noted for a variety of reasons. This week, we take a look to see if it is as bad as its reputation says or if it's worth saving from the riptide. We talk veggie propaganda, parentings, and more as we analyze Popeye. Tune in now!

Ep. 515: Our Top 10 Movies to Teach the 1990s

Hello fiends and familiars! The GoodTrash gang is back to continue our summer of lists! This week, we're taking a look at our favorite decade, the 1990s (mostly because it was the most formative decade). But, in true GenreCast fashion, we're taking an academic approach as we attempt to identify the top ten movies we would use to teach the 1990s (whatever that might mean). And trust us, the rules are up for interpretation. Dustin tries to keep us internationally relevant, but Dalton and Arthur keep it domestic. So, tune in now, and then let us know what you would use to teach the 1990s in film.
