In a Violent Nature (2024)—A Garbage Chute Special Review

Spoilers begin at 25:00!

Hello fiends and familiars, it's time for another GarbageChute special episode! This week, all three of us GoodTrashers, Arthur, Dustin, and Dalton, got to watch the new IFC Films/Shudder Exclusive In a Violent Nature, which opens in theaters on May 31, 2024. It is being touted as a new take on the slasher film—or at least a unique take on the slasher film. But, is it worth your time or should you wait for Shudder? We give you our quick reviews and thoughts on whether or not you should see it before breaking it down with a few spoilers. Tune in now to hear our thoughts on this anticipated horror film. 

Ep. 559: Babylon (2022) with Caleb Masters

Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back with more Meta May shenanigans. This week, it's big, it's bombastic... it's Babylon. And we're not alone. Our old friend Caleb Masters, from over at The Cinematropolis and the Cinematic Schematic, joins us to break this one down. Damien Chazelle's follow up to First Man is an epic look back at Hollywood during its transitional period from the late 20s into the 30s. Somewhat divisive upon its release, the film has amassed a strong cult following. We evaluate what Babylon brings to the table, as well as dive deep into analysis on the themes and tropes running rampant throughout. So, grab your guy, your gal, or your pal and join us as we analyze Babylon.
