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 pals, and welcome back to the GenreCast! It's been 10 years of serving up trash, and we're (mostly) celebrating all month long with the movies we've talked about the most without ever having done on the show. But first, we're going full circle back to John Carpenter, who we discussed way back on episode one, as we discuss Escape from New York. The dystopian action adventure starring Kurt Russel is an iconic entry in both men's filmography, but how does it hold up in 2022? We talk John Carpenter as auteur, men as islands, action stars, and much, much more as we unpack Escape from New York and celebrate 10 Years of Trash!

Welcome to the Grid dear listeners! This week, we've tapped into one of the original Legacy-sequels (we know that because Legacy is in the name), Tron: Legacy. The odd sci-fi project from Disney's 80s run makes a comeback in the era of the MCU and throws down the Daft Punk funk to make things interesting. But how has it aged? We talk about that, plus the users vs the programs, de-aging technology, the legacy of Tron: Legacy, and much more on this episode of the GenreCast. Join us now!

Ahoy listeners! We're kicked back on the beach this week with the Daniels feature debut Swiss Army Man. This quirky indie dramedy stars Paul Dano as Hank and Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse named Manny. The Daniels have had a stellar 2022 thanks to their massive hit Everything Everywhere All at Once. This week, we dissect the smaller, yet just as intimate and referential, Swiss Army Man. We talk body humor, physical performances, the thesis that "women were more special before the internet", and Arthur increases his vocabulary. Tune in now to hear our thoughts, and then let us know what you think about this one.

Hi all! We've got another one coming hot and fresh down the chute. This week, all three of the GoodTrash Bois are gathered around the table to talk about the newest entry in the Predator franchise, Prey. This action, sci-fi horror entry dropped on Hulu to massive success. But a hot take in our group chat brought us all together to break down what we liked and disliked about it. Check it out!
We do get into some spoiler conversations towards the end, so keep your ears open for that spoiler warning.

Hello dear friends! Summer is in full effect and one of our Patreon partners has taken hostage at the lake. The Crystal Lake that is. That's right, as a Patreon Reward, our dear friend Kirsten has chosen a movie for us to watch. So this week, we grab our hockey masks and head to camp one last time (lol) as we watch The Final Friday: Jason Goes to Hell. This 1993 entry in the franchise was supposed to be the end (again), but we all know how that story ended. We talk the meta horror components of this entry, gender politics in the slasher film, sequels, franchises, and Jason Voorhees. So, click that play button and join us for a scream of a time. Thanks again to our dear Patreon friends.
