GoodTrash GenreCast

Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back with more Meta May shenanigans. This week, it's big, it's bombastic... it's Babylon. And we're not alone. Our old friend Caleb Masters, from over at The Cinematropolis and the Cinematic Schematic, joins us to break this one down. Damien Chazelle's follow up to First Man is an epic look back at Hollywood during its transitional period from the late 20s into the 30s. Somewhat divisive upon its release, the film has amassed a strong cult following. We evaluate what Babylon brings to the table, as well as dive deep into analysis on the themes and tropes running rampant throughout. So, grab your guy, your gal, or your pal and join us as we analyze Babylon.

Hello friends! Welcome to another GoodTrash Garbage Chute—quick reviews on hot new movies. This week, Dalton made it to the cinema with our dear friend, the Frightful Femme, Kirsten Therkelson. Dalton and Therk are here to discuss their reactions to the anticipated new horror feature from director Jane Schoenbrun and A24. Is it worth your time? Does it speak to our modern condition? Can Dalton keep these episodes shorter than a normal episode? Does this also somehow continue the Meta May trend? Tune in and find out. 

PRODUCER'S NOTE: We are testing out some new recording equipment for deadCenter Film Festival coverage, so bear with us as we figure it out. 

We come back to the states for our next Meta May entry. Netflix partnered with Eddie Murphy in what some considered a questionable move, until they delivered Dolemite Is My Name. This biopic about cult icon Rudy Ray Moore was a critical hit. Does it hold up? We discuss that, Eddie Murphy, blaxploitation, and much more as we discuss Dolemite Is My Name. Join us now!

Hello friends! We're starting a new marathon that we're going to be calling Meta May! You can find out why in this week's episode! And to kick start this podcast series about movies about movies, we're looking back at Robert Altman's 1992 satirical look at Hollywoodland, The Player. It's a little bit of a thriller. But, it's also a comedy. And, oh yeah, it has some satire. And sure, it's got some big names attached. But, is it worth analyzing? We talk about style, Hollywood, meta movies, and much, much more as we kick start our Meta May marathon. Join us now!
