Hello movie fans, it's time for another Garbage Chute special episode. And this week, Arthur and Dalton talk about Emerald Fennell's sophomore feature Saltburn. This gothic inspired erotic thriller laden piece of a movie promises wild antics at a summer home, but does it deliver? Is there anything under the surface, or is it all substance? We take a look at that and try to determine if it's worth watching in our reviews of Saltburn.

Dear friends, invite us in to your podcatchers and join us for a discussion of The Last Voyage of the Demeter. The second Dracula-inspired story from Universal Pictures focuses in on only a single chapter from Bram Stoker's tale. Does this make for a viable motion picture experience? We talk adaptation, film criticism, and much, much more as we unpack Dustin's 2023 blindspot. Tune in now to hear the conversation and join us next time when we discuss the biggest movie of 2023!

Hello friends! While we wait on the main show to keep the 2023 in review going, Dalton and Arthur are here with a Garbage Chute special to talk about the new A24 joint starring Nicolas Cage, Dream Scenario. This high concept dramedy pits Nic Cage as Paul Matthews, an affable professor, who starts appearing in the dreams of others—persons known and unknown to Paul. Coming off the heels of Cage's Golden Globe nomination, we take a look at this movie to see if it's cooking something up under the hood or simply a dream that will fade away.

Hello race fans! It's that time of year where we begin looking back at the year that is and look at some blindspots to start catching up on what we might have missed. This 2023 in review begins with Arthur's pick, and he takes us to the track to talk about Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story. We realized a racing movie proper has not crossed the analysis table before, so Arthur waved the green flag to get us talking about this video game adaptation from Sony. We talk corporate brands and adaptations, racing, and much, much more! Join us now as we start looking back at the movies we missed in 2023.

Happy holidays friends! As America gears up for the biggest shopping day of the year, we thought we'd wrap up our 2018 look back with a tale of corporate greed and breaking down systems: Sorry to Bother You. This genre-bending passion project from Boots Riley developed a cult following in the year of its release, but how does it hold up. We talk about workers rights, capitalist systems, and much more as we gas up with Sorry to Bother You. Tune in now!

Hello fiends and familiars, WE are back and excited to be talking about the 2018 comic book tale VENOM. That's right, the beloved anti-hero from the Spider-verse finally gets his own movie—with no mention of Spider-man. Does it deserve being re-appraised after five years? Or is it truly trash to be left blowing down the street...like a turd in the wind?
We talk all about that, Marvel, the hero worship of smart billionaires and much more! So, join US as we talk about VENOM!
