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 ·

2017/07/19

Kill Some Time Talking about A Time to Kill A Time to Kill is a great example of the 90's explosion of courtroom dramas and Dalton and Dustin are here to put it on trial technically and thematically.

GTGC #221 - DeadCenter 2017

2017/06/13

Hey Gang! We did not do a show on The Voices this week because we went to DeadCenter! According to Wikipedia: The deadCENTER Film Festival was founded in 2001 in Oklahoma City. The festival was named "deadCENTER" because it is located in the exact center of the United States. Although presenting over a hundred films, and an international assemblage of filmmakers, deadCENTER has remained focused on being open to independent local filmmakers.[1] According to Us: It's a ton of fun! We saw a bunch of

2017/06/05

Get ready for Vampires as we discuss Daybreakers! Dalton and Dustin are back in the studio talking about Daybreakers. Weirdly, this makes an excellent pairing with last week's film, Bulworth. There's defintely a spectre haunting the GTGC studios as we discuss, please join the conversation!

GTGC #219 Bulworth

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/05/29

GTGC is back to your regularly scheduled programming with Bulworth! This is one of those movies that most people missed in the waning years of the Clinton Adminstration. Here Warren Beatty sends up the Democratic Party as one far too committed to donors rather than the leftist ideology that forms its platform. Our Game this week is some dream casting for political roles we would like to see. Likely because this film makes us so aware of race, we tended to avoid white guys for these selections, so

GTGC #218 A Fistful of Dollars

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/05/22

We are back in the studio with A Fistful of Dollars. Part of the reason for our delay was a death in Dustin's family, and in honor of his grandfather, we are watching one of his favorite films, A Fistful of Dollars. We are also especially thrilled this week to announce the return of a guest host this week, Arthur Gordon. So hunker down with a bowlful of spaghetti and we talk Italian Westerns, Clint Eastwood, and the 1960's counter-culture.

We apologize for the delay, dear listeners but we are back in the saddle again. This episode has been in the can for a month now, and we have next week's show already ready recorded to keep bringing you all the GoodTrash goodness you crave. This week Dustin and Dalton are joined in the studio by Alexandra Bohannon as we discuss Michael Mann's Manhunter. We talk all think Lector, with and and without the letter "k" and talk a lot about the aesthetics of this film. We don't necessarily love it nor do

GTGC #216 The Karate Kid (1984)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/04/11

Dalton and Dustin are back at it again this time we take on The Karate Kid. That's right it's two weeks in a row that we get to talk about martial arts and a whole lot more. Dustin likes this movie (mostly due to nostalgia) a whole lot more than Dalton but that's not enough for both of us to give a generally positive reaction to this film. So it doesn't look like we will put the movie in a body bag, but will we? From there we get on to our favorite movie mentors in which there are few surprises to

GTGC #215 The Kiiler

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/04/03

We have a great time talking about this early John Woo film in which we see the first John Woo's famous Doves. Before we get to the analysis and figure out what (if anything) they may mean we have to recognize that these birds become a major icon of action cinema. As such, this week's game is our favorite action cinema iconography. There are lots of great images and trope used in action cinema and we have a blast talking about them and are very excited to hear your feedback, dear listener. Once we

GTGC #214 - Clueless

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/03/27

The ground for good discussion on Clueless is laid quickly in our brief review section as our co-hosts find themselves split on the overall quality of the film. Dustin, being from the generation the film was made for, finds he now actively dislikes the film which he quite appreciated at 19. Dalton on the other hand comes to the defense of Clueless as a film he doesn't love, but certainly sees the value of. The show then moves to gameplay as the hosts discuss their favorite teen romance films

GTGC #213 The Running Man

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/03/20

This week we examine a film loosely based on the novel The Running Man, by Stephen King, writing as Richard Bauchman. Arnold is up to his usually cheekiness, full of efficient distribution of violence and perhaps violent one-liners. It's so 80's-tastic and yet very much a film for contemporary thinking and we would love you all to tune in. We begin this week as always talking about our opinion of the film and generally find this to be pretty disposable (spoiler alert). However, despite its overall

GTGC - #212 Point Break (1991)

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2017/03/13

After a brief break, Dalton and Dustin return to break open Kathryn Bigelow’s 90’s action movie classic, Point Break. Classic, you question? Yes, classic we say. It’s a film that pits two of the decades most beloved heartthrobs against each other and has surfing and skydiving. What more could you want? The conversation gets off to a quick start as Dustin and Dalton argue the merits of the film and it’s direction. The episode then moves into the game—a tribute to the recently departed Bill Paxton.

On a landmark episode of your favorite film analysis podcasts, Arthur and Caleb say good bay the only way they know how; debauchery. That's right, on this week's GoodTrash GenreCast we're taking a look at Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. It's three hours of coke, prostitues and innovative dart games. But, is it one of Scorsese's best? Or, is it guilty of unnecessary excess? Before we find out the answer, we play our game. This week, your hosts rapidly examine Careers that Films Talked Them Out

Once upon a time, your favorite movie analysis podcast sat down to talk about a story that has it all, The Princess Bride. On the show this week, we throw a cult classic on the table to see what it is all about. Does Rob Reiner's tale of stories and pirates sweep us off our feet? Or, is it simply, Inconceivable?! The game for this week is a discussion of our favorites "Stories within Stories". We also have a special announcement in regards to some changes taking place with the show. After all of

Welcome back where the analysis is fresh and trash is good. Your favorite movie analysis podcast is back to talk F Gary Gray's hostage thriller The Negotiator. Is it a bucket of fun or a bucket of poo? You'll have to tune in to find out our thoughts on this 1998 action flick. But first, we have to play a game. This week, we talk about our favorite "Wrong Men". Arthur thought he had written and closed the book on the subject, but Alex comes in at the last second with arguably one of the better "Wrong

Hello and welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast! That's right, GTGC returns with the final installment of 2017's Anti-Trash marathon with a look at Zero Dark Thirty. We decided that a former Academy Award nominated film would be a good way to wrap up our marathon. Caleb, Dalton and Dustin gather around to disect Kathryn Bigelow's dynamic look at 9/11 and the hunt for Bin Laden. As the show gets underway, the team offers their quick reviews of the movie before moving into the weekly

Your favorite film analysis podcast is back again as the Anti-Trash Marathon rolls on. This week, Alex has a host pick and she chose the Iranian-American vampire film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Aside from Dustin, nobody else at the table had seen the film, which is always fun. Before we throw A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night on the film analysis table, we have to play our game. On this week's episode, we talk about "Movie Monsters We Want to Fall in Love With".
