GoodTrash GenreCast

Dustin kills his final darling with this bizarre, surreal, gothic take on the world of Oz in Disney's Return to Oz. Stop-motion, musical numbers, proto Jack Skellington—it's all here, and we try to figure it out. We spend a long time lamenting children's media and questioning where things went wrong. We hope you join us as we try to get our heads on right and analyze Return to Oz. Tune in now!

Is there a podcaster in the house? This week, we find out. Dustin continues to kill his darlings with a deep cut from 1992, Dr. Giggles. We get our kill count prescriptions filled this week as we take a look at this goofy Universal B-movie. We discuss medical horror, meta forerunners, Studio risks, and much, much more as we page Dr. Giggles to the AR—analysis room! Check in now and join us for our conversation!

We thought we were done knowing Jack, but this week, he seems to have reared his ugly head once again—kind of. This week, Dustin continues Killing His Darlings with the 1990 Touchstone Pictures release: Spaced Invaders. This homage to War of the Worlds, and probably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is a fascinating bomb from the era of high concept. We talk pastiche, homage, War of the Worlds, capitalism, Jack Nicholson, and much, much more as we bring Spaced Invaders to the analysis table. Join us now!

Hello freaks and geeks! The GoodTrash Bois are back with another brand new marathon—this month, Arthur has tasked Dustin with Killing His Darlings, and he begins with a Full Moon Pictures feature, Netherworld. Not quite made for Cinemax, this feature flirts with the line of titillation. We discuss straight to video filmmaking, the dreamscapes of our youth, and much, much more as we bring Netherworld to the analysis table. Join us now as Dustin continues to bring his darlings to the altar. 

Alright weirdos! We're pulling our Steampunk Train into the harbor this week as we wrap up our Heart of Stone marathon in the best way we know how–by getting strange with it. We end this marathon with a look at the unique collaboration between Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos. Poor Things is our choice here, but any of the four team ups are worth talking about. This week, we gotta talk about sex, baby. We talk about stories about women by men (as three men, we're experts in this), and we discuss Emma Stone's turn from Hollywood A-Lister to versatile artist looking for a challenging role. Join us this week as we analyze Poor Things and end our Heart of Stone marathon. 

Here we go good bois and girls, the GenreCast is back with more Heart of Stone. This week, we look at Emma Stone's turn as one of Disney's most iconic villains—Cruella. Out of the success of I, Tonya Craig Gillespie finds himself at the helm of a major franchise film. But, is this one fashionably in style or a major woof! We discuss Disney's regurgitation habits, Emma Stone's next move, needle drops, and much, much more as we drive Cruella to the analysis table. Tune in now!

Howdy do crooners, belters, and smooth operators! Our Heart of Stone marathon continues on this week as we take a look at the film that got Stone her first Oscar, La La Land. That's right, Damien Chazelle returns to the analysis table with his Classic Hollywood Musical. We discuss music, what it takes to accomplish dreams (and when to sell out), and much, much more as we discuss La La Land and Emma Stone's continued rise. Join us now, and don't forget to subscribe to keep up with all our Heart of Stone content!

Gather 'round friends and foes, we're back with a new month—and of course, that also means a new marathon. This month, we're pivoting from Jack Ryan to one of the best actors of her generation, Emma Stone. This month, it is our "Heart of Stone" marathon. And we kick it off with Stone's first leading role, Easy A. We discuss the purity culture movement, Emma Stone, high school comedies, pastiche, and much, much more as we examine Easy A. Tune in now to hear out thoughts; and subscribe to keep up on the full "Heart of Stone" marathon. 

For the second time in as many weeks, we find ourselves learning once more about young Jack Ryan. In the second reboot of the series, Chris Pine now helms the mantle of the analyst extraordinaire. We finally see the legendary helicopter crash that is pivotal to his backstory before we see him move to Wall Street to begin his work with the CIA. Trading in James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman for Kevin Costner, we get another image of Ryan in another decade where franchise filmmaking has shifted significantly—we of course talk about the politics, the post-war on terror philosophies, the Hollywood Chrises, and much more! Join us now as we wrap up our You Don't Know Jack... Ryan marathon. 

We continue to learn more about Jack... Ryan this week as we move into the third part of our marathon. Not only do we get a new movie for a new decade, we get another new Jack Ryan — Ben Affleck. Maybe most noted for its mid-film set piece that stands as eerie bit of business at the time of release, Affleck's Ryan outing is rooted in the action filmmaking style of the 2000s. How does it hold up? How do Clancy's politics continue to shift? We discuss all of that and much more on this episode. Tune in now!
