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.

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 Trashbags! The GenreCast is back to wrap up the year 2023 proper with a tradition we've been observing the past few years—a look at the highest grossing (Domestic) movie of the year.

Or is it time to move out of the Barbie world? Tune in now as we ask these questions and more while discussing Barbie.

Night Shyamalan fan club Nick Sanford; the always wonderful Frightful Femme Kirsten Therkelson; and our great friend, Cinematic Schematic host, and president of the Minority Report fan club Caleb Masters to help him review Todd Haynes newest film May December. Is it a comedy? Is it good? All these questions and more are answered in this special edition of the Garbage Chute, so join us now!

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.

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!
