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 ghouls and goblins! We're diggin' through ditches and burnin' through witches this week as we speed through Rob Zombie's family film, The Munsters. The Horror-teur has a long history of family focused bloodshed, but this time he turns to a softer story as he takes on one of Hollywood's classic families. We talk Rob Zombie, TV adaptations, family, and much more in this episode. Tune in now to join the conversation.

Welcome back dear friends! We're back and keeping the family fun on the agenda this week. Our selection, pairing nicely with canned spinach, is none other than the infamous Robert Altman production: Popeye. This Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall-led musical is well noted for a variety of reasons. This week, we take a look to see if it is as bad as its reputation says or if it's worth saving from the riptide. We talk veggie propaganda, parentings, and more as we analyze Popeye. Tune in now!

Hello friends and familiars! We're back to some regularly scheduled movie watching. And we're kicking August off with a Patreon-sponsored pick from our friend Taylor (Thanks Taylor!): The Last Unicorn. This 1982 animated tale based on the story by Peter S. Beagle features an all-star voice cast. Coming out of the house of Rankin and Bass, we look to see how this holds up to the years, speak to a little bit of adaptation, talk heroics, fantasy and truth, the power of magic, and much, much more! Join us now to hear our thoughts on The Last Unicorn.

Hello fiends and familiars! The GoodTrash gang is back to continue our summer of lists! This week, we're taking a look at our favorite decade, the 1990s (mostly because it was the most formative decade). But, in true GenreCast fashion, we're taking an academic approach as we attempt to identify the top ten movies we would use to teach the 1990s (whatever that might mean). And trust us, the rules are up for interpretation. Dustin tries to keep us internationally relevant, but Dalton and Arthur keep it domestic. So, tune in now, and then let us know what you would use to teach the 1990s in film.
