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 ·

2020/12/24

Producer's Note: We lost a good bit of audio due to some technical issues, but we salvaged as best we could, mostly leaving our reviews and analysis, which is hopefully why you're all here. We wrap up our Part 3s, Chapter 2 marathon the way we have every year for the past few years—talking about the highest grossing (domestic) film of the year. And this year, things got wild as a early winter release lead the pack due to COVID. That's right, we're heading to Miami to talk all about Bad Boys for

Our trilogy celebration continues this week with a look at 2017's Pitch Perfect 3. The as-of-now concluding chapter in the a cappella franchise reunites the cast for an existential post-college crisis that takes them to Europe.

Its Part 2 of our Part 3s, Chapter 2 marathon! That's right, we're back with another threequel as we go where no podcast has gone before. Or, where several podcasts have surely gone before. We're taking a look at the latest Star Trek film from 2016, Star Trek Beyond. Justin Lin's entry in the franchise sees the rebooted team finally underway on their 5-year mission. We talk federation politics and ideology. We also discuss J.J. Abrams as a filmmaker and his impact on the Trek universe. TIME

Ep.396: Alien3 (1992) — Part 3s, Chapter 2

2020/12/03

Happy Mank Day! In honor of David Fincher's newest movie, we're kickstarting our new marathon Part 3s, Chapter 2 with Fincher's first film, Alien3. Through the years, Fincher has been evoked a number of times, through our early Fincher Rule that we harnessed Dalton with to talking a number of his films. So, it only made sense we'd tackle the notorious third entry in the Alien franchise to celebrate the release of his newest work Mank. On this week's show, we're talking all about religious groups in

Ep. 395: Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2020/11/27

As we all record from our own variation of The Zone, Dustin wraps up his celebration month with a trademark choice — Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. The 1979 genre-bending art house picture is a textbook example of the type of stuff Dustin likes to make us watch. This week, we're diving deep on formalism, spiritualism, ideology, and much more as we tackle this titan of Soviet cinema.

Ep. 394: Hero (2002)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2020/11/19

Dustin's second pick of the month was required to be a martial arts film. Why? Because he has focused his PhD work on martial arts and kung fu cinema. So, Dustin picked a film from 2002 that made its way stateside following the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. We're talking Zhang Yimou's Hero. Once we get it on the analysis table, Dustin digs into his PhD work and how Hero represents that. We discuss form and genre in regards to Wuxia films. The film's ideology and politics are ripe for

Ep. 393: Highlander (1986)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2020/11/12

Pops has picked his first movie, and there can be only one! His very trashy GoodTrash pick is none other than Highlander. He admits he partially picked this one in honor of the late, great Sean Connery. This Christopher Lambert-starring action-fantasy-sci-fi became a cult classic in the time since. We give a queer reading of the film, and dive deep into the other themes present in the film. TIME STAMPS 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 04:06 - Quick Highlander Reviews 24:05 - Expanding the

That's the movie. We're talking mental health, the spiritual catharsis of storytelling, Joel Schumacher, and much much more in this episode as we dive into the late director's second team-up with Jim Carrey—The Number 23.

Ep. 391: Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) - Shocktober 9

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2020/11/05

Producer's Note: Sorry for the delay, but the unorthodox OKC ice storm left me without power and internet for a few days. Also, the file seemed to have some issues, so I've had to salvage it as best I can. We apologize for the mangled nature, but it feels true to the spirit of the Gremlins franchise. Shocktober 9 comes to a close this week. We're finally leaving Dalton's House of Horrors, but not before squaring off against that adorable Magwai Gizmo and his slimy offspring. That's right, after 8

2020/10/22

We're rounding the bend on Shocktober 9 with a Cronenberg classic. That's right, we're talking twins, psychoanalysis, and Dead Ringers. This story of twin gynecologists who manipulate those around them is not at all what we expected. This week, we're discussing Cronenberg, the film's approach to sex and psychology, the presentation of characters, how the film unfolds, and so much more. Join us to hear our thoughts on Dead Ringers, and then stick around to the end to hear Dalton announce the final

2020/10/15

Dalton continues to lead us through his house of horrors as we enter a psychedelic moment in horror, the 1977 Japanese ghost story, House. House, or Hausu, has always been explained by Dustin as Scooby-Doo directed by Rob Zombie. In this episode, we find out if that tracks. We discuss history and horror, the use of cross-genre conventions to make a point, surreal function in the film's design, and much more as Shocktober 9 continues to roll along.

Shoctober 9: Dalton's House of Horrors continues this week as we take on the Tobe Hooper-directed, Spielberg-produced haunted house classic, Poltergeist. Arthur and Dalton have bold opinions that Dustin is not on board with. This week, we're talking about death and history, 80s ideologies, the family unit and more.

2020/10/01

It's Shocktober 9, Bay-Bee! And we've handed the reins over to Dalton, who is turning 30 this month. To celebrate, he gets to do the programming all month long with one caveat—all the movies have to be at least 30 years old. For his first pick, Dalton picked a banger as he chose George A. Romero's Day of the Dead. The third piece of the Dead franchise, Day of the Dead follows a group of scientists and soldiers trying to figure out their next moves in an underground bunker. This week, we're talking

Ep. 386: Misery (1990)

2020/09/24

With September on the way out, it's time to start thinking spooky. So, we thought it was the ideal time to celebrate 30 years of Misery! That's right, the Stephen King book-turned Rob Reiner movie has hit a milestone anniversary, so we decided to put it on the analysis table—but we didn't hobble it. This story of a romance author held captive by his number one fan resonates as much in 2020 as it did in 1990. We're talking Stephen King, Annie Wilkes, fan culture, and much more as we prepare the

On Episode 385 of the GenreCast, we're celebrating 8 years of this monstrosity. And, it's only fitting that we come full circle to another siege film as we take a look back at 2013's Olympus Has Fallen. We try our best not to call it White House Down, but mistakes do happen. The movie features a tarnished secret serviceman looking for redemption after the White House is overrun by terrorists. We're talking nationalism, ideology, geopolitics, the failures of the film, and much more as we

Grab your wig and fake mustache, it's time to talk the 1997 action film The Saint. On episode 384, we're talking all about globetrotting thief Simon Templar who manipulates and seduces a doctor in order to steal some formulas for cold fusion or something. This week, we're discussing geopolitics and Russian villains. We get into cycle of TV/IP reboots of the 90s and aughts. We also take a look at the odd relationship dynamics in this film before bringing the train into the station on The Saint. Time

Once upon a time, on a podcast not so far away, we decided to discuss Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood. And, to help us out, is no other than our very own Frightful Femme, and one of the co-hosts of TwiLit, Kirsten Therkelson. In this sexy, stylized retelling of the classic fairytale, Valerie has fallen for a woodcutter named Peter. But, the village they live in is tormented by a werewolf—a werewolf that is keenly interested in Valerie. This week, we're discussing the themes of societal

Every time a podcast plays, an angel gets its wings. We don't know if that's true or not, but by golly we're going to hope so. This week, things get heavenly as we explore the 1996 Nora Ephron hit, Michael starring John Travolta. When a tabloid journalist and his associates get wind of a living, breathing angel in Iowa, they set out to investigate. But what they discover is more surreal than they could have imagined. We're talking all about narrative constructs and tropes, the use of angels, secular

Ep. 381: Splice (2010)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2020/08/20

We rebound from last week's debacle with a slow-brewing cult selection in the form of Vincenzo Natali's Splice. A movie much hotter and much weirder than Swimfan. When two geneticists push the bounds of science, a new human-animal hybrid is birthed. This week, we're talking about realism in science fiction, cycles of familial tragedy, Freud, and much more. Tune in now for our discussion of Splice! Time Stamps 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 03:25 - Quick Splice Reviews 14:40 - Expanding the
