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 space travelers! We are not replicants or manifestations, we're the real deal. And we're continuing our Sci-Fi AntiTrash run with the 1972 space mystery, Solaris from Andrei Tarkovsky. One of only seven feature films, Solaris is a heady trip dealing with major ideals. We bring it to the analysis table in an effort to figure out what's going on. We talk style, intertextual relationships, plot devices, horses, and forgiveness? Join us, if you will, for part three of this year's AntiTrash marathon!

AntiTrash 2022 continues this week with our next sci-fi pick, and Stanley Kubrick finally makes an appearance on the GenreCast. That's right, we're talking about another of the most influential films of all time with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Cold, calculating, hopeful? We try to decipher this monolith of a film as we talk about what it could mean. We also discuss Kubrick's style, self indulgence, life, the universe, and everything. Come along with us on this journey as we evaluate the Dawn of Man.

It's time for our annual Antitrash Celebration! With prestige season in full effect, we look at the movies that probably will be discussed in a film studies course—and this month, we're going sci-fi with our picks. And we're kicking it off with one of the most influential films of all time, Fritz Lang's Metropolis from 1927. This bold work has inspired generations of artists, but how has it held up to time? We discuss this, and its impact. We also talk about the theology of Metropolis, its different commentaries on society and labor, and much more as we ring in 2022.

Happy New Year, dear friends! We're ringing out 2021 as we always do—The Shelvies! If this is your first time listening to The Shelvies, it's a look back at the year in GoodTrash as we reflect on all the movies we watched specifically for this show. It's not a "Best Movies of 2021". It's just a way for us to get an episode out without watching a movie. This is one we always recommed as a diving in point as it highlights the episodes we think were good and the movies that lent the most to the conversations. We'll be awarding our "Best Worst Movie", dropping the "Hebrew Hammer", discussing out "Favorite Discovery", and much more before we place the best titles of the year on the Platinum Shelf.
Thanks for another year with us, we hope you've enjoyed our selections, our conversations, and our silliness. Here's to another year! We'll be back next week to kickstart our 2022 Antitrash Marathon, where things get scientific.

Our final episode of our Buddy Marathon hits right as the holidays are winding down as we take a look at the female-led buddy cop comedy The Heat. This Paul Feig joint stars his constant collaborator Melissa McCarthy as well as Sandra Bullock as two detectives on the trail of a Boston drug lord. But, does it cook up the laughs? We quickly discuss those reviews before turning to our analysis analyzer (cop lingo) to crack open the interior of this one. We're talking cop comedies, Melissa McCarthy, Paul Feig, allyship, the issue of a minor subplot involving a serial killer, and we take a look at the Wayans Family Tree. Tune in now as we wrap up our Buddy Marathon.

Our Buddy marathon continues with a Shane Black Christmas event as we take on the 2016 semi-cult classic, The Nice Guys. This noir flavored buddy picture places Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling together. But, does it work? We revisit our discussions of Shane Black's scripting from last week, and evaluate The Nice Guys as a re-evaluated version of that story. We talk about women, sex, violence, and formalism as we take this one to the analysis table. Join us now!

Welcome back friends! We're continuing our December Buddy Marathon with THE quintessential buddy cop film. The one that built the modern day blueprint—Lethal Weapon. That's right. It's Riggs. It's Murtaugh. And they're just too old for it. Or maybe not old enough? We discuss a lot about Lethal Weapon, including mental health, issues with the script, and much more as we have a surprising reaction to this classic action flick.

Happy holidays dear listener! As we move into this time of friendship and family, we thought it only appropriate to look at films celebrating blooming friendships. It's a Buddy Marathon!

We're talking male friendship, the FBI, and much more in this first part of our December Marathon!

We wrap up November with a sci-fi adventure as we discuss Stephen Spielberg's adaptation of the beloved novel Ready Player One. Set in the near future in a dystopian world where everyone thrives online, Ready Player One is a feast of nostalgia and pop culture. But is there any meat in this dish? Or is it all sweets? We dig into the smorgasbord of intellectual properties provided by Warner Bros. to discuss nostalgia, pastiche, the online world, taking back power and means, and much more as we head into the Analysis OASIS.
