GoodTrash GenreCast

GTGC - #119 - Daredevil (2003 - Director's Cut)

*Editor's note, again sorry for another delay. We're trying to get back on target. This was originally recorded on April 19th.*

Alrighty dear listeners! The gang gather's back around and Arthur chooses to see if we are indeed a podcast without fear as we take a look at the polarizing 2003 Director's Cut of Daredevil. Ben Affleck makes his initial foray into super cinema and nobody was pleased. We talk about most useless super powers in our game of the week, and at the end of the show, of course we're fired up. 

And as with any good Marvel film, stay through the credits this week for more GoodTrash Fun.  

GTGC - #118 - Snatch.

*Due to crazy life issues, there was a delay. This episode was recorded on April 5th, 2015.* 

Ladies and Gents, we get back around the table to discuss race, editing, speech, and film cycles as we talk Guy Ritchie's cult classic, Snatch. We also talk about our favorite gangsters, and in a bit of a dated edition of Pop Culture we talk about what has us fired up. Enjoy, and again, sorry for the delay. 

GTGC - #117 - Spring Breakers

Stackin 'casts y'all. That's right, we hop back 'round the table to talk Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. We look for the american dream, fetishisation, racism, and church camp... Yeah, that's right, church camp. We also count down our top three movies we'd have on repeat for this week's game. Finally, we end like we always do, talking pop culture and it's fiery effect on all of us. 

The Rabbit Hole

This week we referenced quite a bit of academic work. During her analysis, Alex mentioned the article "Driving While Black" which you can give a look right over here. 

Dustin's review of the film began with a reference to Global Art Cinema edited by Galt and Schoonover, which you can order from Amazon here. 

Arthur talked film grammar and Christian Metz with a specific reference to Film Language: A Semiotics of the Cinema which you can peruse in PDF form over here. He also referenced Alexandre Astruc's essay over Avant Garde cinema "La Camera Stylo" which you can read here. 

And finally, if you're sick of Andrew Jackson dominating the Twenty Dollar Bill, then head over to Women on 20s to give your input on which historical female figures you would like to see in cash form. 

GTGC - 116 - Jennifer's Body

Dear Listener, we wrap up #YouPicktheTrash and we just want to say thank you for some great recommendations, and we look forward to more in the future. This week we look at Kirsten's pick Jennifer's Body. We have a good time as Kirsten sits in the guest host seat, and we talk misogyny, exploitation of all kinds, and sex. The Game sees us talking about poorly advertised films, and, as always, we all make fun of Dustin.... and talk about Pop Culture. So come and join us dear listener. 

The Rabbit Hole 

This week we made several references to past episodes, such as: 

You're Next and The Blair Witch Project which both saw Kirsten guest hosting with us.
