GoodTrash GenreCast

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.

Onibaba (1964) AntiTrash: Serious Scares

Konnichiwa friends! Our AntiTrash: Serious Scares marathon finds us in Japan this week with the classic Onibaba. We're scared for our lives as we bring this one to the analysis table. On this week's episode, we discuss doing what it takes to survive, oblique movies, generational shifts, and much more. Join us as we discuss the influential classic that is Onibaba! If you are interested in our Patreon discussion of Twin Peaks: The Return, you can check that out at www.patreon.com/gtm

The Brutalist (2024): Garbage Chute Review

Hello friends, fiends, and familiars. The chute is loaded back up as Dalton sits down with dear friend NIck Sanford to discuss one of the buzzy films of award season, The Brutalist. This movie is being touted for its throwback Americana epic nature that includes an intermission because of its run time. But is it worth four hours in a theater? Dalton and Nick break it down on this episode of the Garbage Chute to let you know where to spend your time and money.  

The Vanishing (1988) AntiTrash: Serious Scares

Hallo friends and familiars! The Serious Scares continue for the month of January as our World Tour continues. This week, we find ourselves in the Netherlands region with George Sluizer's The Vanishing. Sometimes, the real horrors are the people we meet along the way. We bring The Vanishing to the analysis table to talk evil, road trips, the search for knowledge, and much, much more. So join us this week as we discuss this horror classic. 

Also, we just launched the first part in our Cherry Pie Chronicles over on Patreon where we will be covering Twin Peaks: The Return. That's Patreon.com/gtm.

Eyes without a Face (1960) – AntiTrash: Serious Scares

Bonjour mes amis, the GenreCast is back for round two of AntiTrash 2025. We keep the serious scares coming as we trek to France with the cult European classic Eyes without a Face. Georges Franju's ethereal piece was initially slept on but has since become an influential work. We bring Eyes without a Face to the analysis table this week to talk about images, identity, beauty, and much, much more. So join us for our analysis of Eyes without a Face. 

Peeping Tom (1960) AntiTrash: Serious Scares

Hello everyone! It's a new year, and that means it is time for our annual AntiTrash Marathon! This year, we will be taking a look at some of the most revered and influential horror films of all time. It's like bonus Shocktober! And we kick things off with Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. While the movie largely killed his career, it takes up an important place in horror and slasher history. We discuss horror villains, Hitchcock, Psycho, and much, much more as we dive into Peeping Tom—tune in now!

The 2024 Shelvie Award Extravaganza

Hello friends, fiends, family, and familiars! Another year is wrapping up, and that means it is time once again for our annual Shelvie Award Show. Much like every major film-centered organization, we too have an award show. For those just now tuning in, the Shelvie Awards is a look back at the movies we covered for the GenreCast in the given year—so, not a 'best of 2024' that will come later. For The Shelvies, we will award our Best Worst Movie, drop some Hebrew Hammers, and name the best of the best to the Platinum Shelf. So, what did the year 2024 look like in GoodTrash? Tune in and find out!

Pixar's newest film sparked some life into the fading House of Mouse this summer. We bring Inside Out 2 to the analysis table to talk children's media, depictions of emotions, Disney, Pixar, and much, much more!
