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.

Shock10ber rolls on with ghosts, haunted houses, genocide, and Ryan Reynolds's 18-pack abs. That's right, we're taking a look at the 2005 remake of the somewhat classic haunted house film, The Amityville Horror.

2021/10/14

Shock10ber: Rise of the Remakes continues on this week with the 2004 take on George Romero's classic, Dawn of the Dead. Notable as the first feature film from an unknown director named Zach Snyder, Dawn of the Dead also aided in reviving the zombie genre for a new generation. We talk about formalism and realism, whether the movie is too thin or if it does have something to say, the approach to fast and slow zombies, and much, much more as we take on this reanimated remake.

Hello and welcome to another new episode of the GenreCast! We're back this week in our finest clothes because we're taking a look at Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread.

It's another special episode. This week's episode is another Patreon-sponsored pick from Bekah. And she chose the wildly weird Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar—a character focused comedy from the minds of Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo (who co-wrote Bridesmaids). On this episode, we discuss othering of characters as presented in the film, we try to tangle with representation a bit, how the film engages with problematic tropes, its presentation of relationships, and the wholesome masculinity of

We journey back into the 90s with a look at a little gem from 1992 that boasts a stellar cast, Sneakers. A massive hit upon release, Sneakers seems to have become something of an under seen hidden gem. Robert Redford leads a crew into a wrong man espionage escapade.

It's a movie from the year we began, an always surreal moment. "Nobody is safe. Nobody is house." It's a joke we've come to love, but how does the movie truly stand up?

We're sticking to the 90s, but we're drastically shifting genre as we take a look at the beloved 90s comedy hit, City Slickers.

Sorry for the delay, we got held up at a local summer celebration. We're continuing our "Welcome to the Family" marathon this week with a look at Ari Aster's follow up to Hereditary, which is Midsommar. The movie plays opposite to Hereditary in many ways. Another story about grief, this tale takes place primarily in the light. Bringing horror and trauma out into the open.

This week, we talk He Who Walks Behind the Corn,
