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.

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
