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, we're closing out another year! 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 2022 list. We will be doing that later in January 2023, 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 bringing you more trash in 2023!

Women Talking Review: 00:1:27
White Noise Review: 00:21:37
First up, we're talking Sarah Polley's Women Talking, adapted from a novel of the same name. Featuring an ensemble including, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, and Ben Whishaw, Women Talking takes a look at a group of women in a small religious community as they attempt to reckon with traumatic events that have been taking place. Women Talking opens in limited release on Dec. 23, and goes wide in January.
After that, we take a look at White Noise. The new film from Noah Baumbach for Netflix. Set in the 80s amidst an airborne event, White Noise focuses on a family helmed by Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig. The two try to navigate familial and personal anxieties as the world around them erupts into chaos. White Noise hits Netflix on Dec. 30 with a few limited theatrical showings.
Tune in now to hear our thoughts on both of these films and whether we recommend you see them. Thanks for listening!
