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.

The GenreCast continues to march through March and the Women's Appreciation Marathon. This week, we're tackling Penelope Spheeris' Wayne's World, starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. The popular SNL-sketch-turned-film was a cultural touchstone for many Gen-Xers and cusp millennials. And, we're making this a family affair as Dalton's sister, Carissa drops by to talk about one of the Stuart children's favorite films growing up. We crank it to 11, and drain all of the jelly-filled analysis from Wayne's World. Get into it!

The GenreCast is back and we're joining in on the Women's History Month celebration. This week, we're taking a look at Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary adaptation from 1989. Stephen King's darkest novel made for a cult hit, but does the horror hold up after all these years? We find out. To help us through this, we invited along our very own Frightful Femme, Kirsten Therkelson. We also continue ironing out the kinks in our new format. So, all spoiler bets are off, and we're diving in to dig up the bones of Pet Sematary. Tune in now!

Episode 307 of the GenreCast sees the team returning to a normal schedule, at least for this week. Blade Runner has oft been tossed around as a potential subject for the show, and due to recent personal circumstances, it finally landed. Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is available in numerous formats, most notably the theatrical cut (with voiceover), the director's cut and Blade Runner The Final Cut. Blade Runner The Final Cut is the authorized restoration by Ridley Scott without the controversial voice over or Hollywood ending. During this week's episode, the team not only analyzes Blade Runner The Final Cut, but also shakes things up in presentation. It'll take some time to work out the kinks, but soon the show will be running like a well-oiled machine once more. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!

Cowboys & Aliens Analysis and Review
Howdy, and welcome back to another episode of the GenreCast movie analysis podcast. On this week's episode, our western marathon is continuing with a look at the very GoodTrash appropriate Cowboys & Aliens. Directed by Jon Favreau, Cowboys and Aliens is exactly what the titles says. Intergalactic invaders arrive in the wild west to shake up life for a small western town. The cast features Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and more. Cowboys & Aliens avoids the seemingly obvious camp direction and takes a somewhat serious approach to the material. We break it down to discuss cultural representation, cinematic language and more. Our game? Cinematic Amnesiacs.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Analysis of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The sun hasn't set on the westerns yet. We're back from our ocean cruise to talk the 1969 classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Our journey back into anti-trash is exciting as Arthur defends one of his all-timers from the crazed ramblings of Dalton and Dustin. Along the way, we talk American Folklore/Legends we want on screen. The gang opens up Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to see what it's all about. These wranglers talk the New Hollywood, commodification of art techniques in film, genre, and the gay subtext that people usually bring up in accordance with the film.
