GoodTrash GenreCast

GoodTrash GenreCast

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.

Hello fiends and familiars! We have come to the conclusion of our Once More with Feeling marathon. This month, we've seen trash, after trash, after trash. Can Steven Soderbergh's Solaris get us out of a rut? Or are we just witnessing fleeting memories of shelvable films? We talk film tones, Soderbergh's proclivities as director, and much, much more. Join us as we take Solaris to the analysis table again!

Hello dear friends and trashers, our Once More with Feeling marathon chugs along at bullet train speeds this week. We revisit an anime classic in the form of the Live Action remake of Ghost in the Shell. Shrouded in questionable casting and controversy, the remake bombed upon release. But, does it warrant another look? Join us as we bring Ghost in the Shell to the analysis table.

Fiends and familiars, quite trying to make fetch happen. It didn't take in 2004, and it definitely did not take in 2024. That's right, Once More with Feeling continues as we tackle the 2024 adaptation of Mean Girls: The Musical. With Tina Fey still in the mix, we question how far this property has come, or if it should have closed off broadway years ago. Tune in now to hear our reviews and analysis of Mean Girls: The Musical.

Hello, you absolute freaks. We got y'all a bonus episode in case you have a long weekend lined up.  

A few weeks ago, Dalton moderated the Q&A for the Midnight Shorts block at deadCenter and got his wig flipped all the way around by a surreal and challenging short film, Jeff.
