GoodTrash GenreCast

GoodTrash Media

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.

Cabaret (1972)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2025/04/17

Willkommen, bienvenue... welcome fiends and familiars, ghouls and gals to the third blindspot in Dalton's lineup, Bob Fosse's Cabaret. This musical is set in Berlin in the early 1930s—it was a different time. But the film was developed amidst the Nixon era. So, it has politics and art. Or is that redundant? We look at the rise of Liza Minnelli, the style of Bob Fosse, and the antifascist messaging of Cabaret to see if there are any contemporary concerns to consider. Is it a good night at the club

Boasting a couple of mostly no-name leads in Willem Dafoe and William Petersen and a wild car chase, To Live and Die in L.A. takes us to the west coast in an explosive, subversive experience. But, is it all style an no substance? Find out as we analyze To Live and Die in

Fiends and familiars, our sincerest producer apologies... Dalton, well, Dalton has been given the reins to the show for the next few weeks.

Hello friends and familiars! This week, we discover that it is hard out here for a podcaster. That's right, we're looking back two decades on the Academy Award-winning film Hustle & Flow.

Kubrick's classic has informed the last 45 years of filmmaking, especially the horror genre.
