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 ·

2026/03/26

Alright weirdos! We're pulling our Steampunk Train into the harbor this week as we wrap up our Heart of Stone marathon in the best way we know how–by getting strange with it. We end this marathon with a look at the unique collaboration between Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos. Poor Things is our choice here, but any of the four team ups are worth talking about. This week, we gotta talk about sex, baby. We talk about stories about women by men (as three men, we're experts in this), and we discuss Emma

GoodTrash GenreCast ·

2026/02/19

We continue to learn more about Jack... Ryan this week as we move into the third part of our marathon. Not only do we get a new movie for a new decade, we get another new Jack Ryan — Ben Affleck. Maybe most noted for its mid-film set piece that stands as eerie bit of business at the time of release, Affleck's Ryan outing is rooted in the action filmmaking style of the 2000s. How does it hold up? How do Clancy's politics continue to shift? We discuss all of that and much more on this episode. Tune in
