Life (1999)

Protect your cornbread at all costs friends because we're back with an all new episode. On this week's show, we go back to 1999 to celebrate Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence with the buddy comedy Life. We take a look at time, prison movies, race, and much more as we dissect this comedy.

Hustle & Flow (2005)

Hello friends and familiars! This week, we discover that it is hard out here for a podcaster. That's right, we're looking back two decades on the Academy Award-winning film Hustle & Flow. This underdog story had modest success opening opportunities for Craig Brewer and putting the Academy Spotlight on the Three 6 Mafia. But, after 20 years, how does it hold up? And does it have anything poignant to say? We discuss film stock, protagonist development, and the film's approach to a number of various themes. Join us now as we discuss Hustle and Flow.

Companion (2025): Garbage Chute Review

Happy V-Day! We are down the chute once more! This week, Dalton and our dear friend Kirsten made it out to the picture show for the new pic Companion. Touted as being from the studio that brought you The Notebook and the minds behind Barbarian, Companion built up a decent little buzz. But is it worth your time and well earned dollar? Dalton and Kirsten debate this and much more in their review of Companion. 

Deep Cover (1992)

The month moves along with a deep cut from 1992. Bill Duke (Predator) is behind the camera for this noir entry Deep Cover. Starring Larry Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum, Deep Cover has been deep under cover itself. A recent Criterion release changed its trajectory though allowing new audiences to find it, and find it we did. Find out whose Top 100 the film entered and how much we all gush about it. We discuss the benefits of publishers like Criterion and others who strive for film preservation. Join us for our analysis of Bill Duke's Deep Cover.

I, Robot (2004)

AntiTrash is over in a big way this week. We are back at our usual trash selves with Alex Proyas's I, Robot. The Will Smith vehicle from 2004 seemed to be watched by everybody? But has time been kind to it? We talk AI, sentience, awkward racism parallels, and much, much more in our analysis of Alex Proyas's I, Robot. Tune in now to hear our discussion!

The Shining (1980): AntiTrash: Serious Scares

AntiTrash comes to a close this week as we return to the States (via Pinewood Studios). To cap off the month, we check in to the Overlook Hotel to test our longterm isolation stamina. That's right, it's the horror movie we've most talked about without actually talking about it — The Shining. Kubrick's classic has informed the last 45 years of filmmaking, especially the horror genre. We talk about it as best we can, including its oblique nature, and all of the theories that have risen in its wake. Tune in now to hear our discussion of The Shining. If you would like to support the show or check out our ongoing limited series over Twin Peaks: The Return, visit us at Patreon.com/GTM.
