GoodTrash GenreCast

Konnichiwa friends! Our AntiTrash: Serious Scares marathon finds us in Japan this week with the classic Onibaba. We're scared for our lives as we bring this one to the analysis table. On this week's episode, we discuss doing what it takes to survive, oblique movies, generational shifts, and much more. Join us as we discuss the influential classic that is Onibaba! If you are interested in our Patreon discussion of Twin Peaks: The Return, you can check that out at www.patreon.com/gtm

Hello friends, fiends, and familiars. The chute is loaded back up as Dalton sits down with dear friend NIck Sanford to discuss one of the buzzy films of award season, The Brutalist. This movie is being touted for its throwback Americana epic nature that includes an intermission because of its run time. But is it worth four hours in a theater? Dalton and Nick break it down on this episode of the Garbage Chute to let you know where to spend your time and money.  

Hallo friends and familiars! The Serious Scares continue for the month of January as our World Tour continues. This week, we find ourselves in the Netherlands region with George Sluizer's The Vanishing. Sometimes, the real horrors are the people we meet along the way. We bring The Vanishing to the analysis table to talk evil, road trips, the search for knowledge, and much, much more. So join us this week as we discuss this horror classic. 

Also, we just launched the first part in our Cherry Pie Chronicles over on Patreon where we will be covering Twin Peaks: The Return. That's Patreon.com/gtm.

Bonjour mes amis, the GenreCast is back for round two of AntiTrash 2025. We keep the serious scares coming as we trek to France with the cult European classic Eyes without a Face. Georges Franju's ethereal piece was initially slept on but has since become an influential work. We bring Eyes without a Face to the analysis table this week to talk about images, identity, beauty, and much, much more. So join us for our analysis of Eyes without a Face. 

Hello everyone! It's a new year, and that means it is time for our annual AntiTrash Marathon! This year, we will be taking a look at some of the most revered and influential horror films of all time. It's like bonus Shocktober! And we kick things off with Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. While the movie largely killed his career, it takes up an important place in horror and slasher history. We discuss horror villains, Hitchcock, Psycho, and much, much more as we dive into Peeping Tom—tune in now!

Hello friends, fiends, family, and familiars! Another year is wrapping up, and that means it is time once again for our annual Shelvie Award Show. Much like every major film-centered organization, we too have an award show. For those just now tuning in, the Shelvie Awards is a look back at the movies we covered for the GenreCast in the given year—so, not a 'best of 2024' that will come later. For The Shelvies, we will award our Best Worst Movie, drop some Hebrew Hammers, and name the best of the best to the Platinum Shelf. So, what did the year 2024 look like in GoodTrash? Tune in and find out!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! We bring 2024 to an end with the highest grossing domestic release of 2024, Inside Out 2. Pixar's newest film sparked some life into the fading House of Mouse this summer. We bring Inside Out 2 to the analysis table to talk children's media, depictions of emotions, Disney, Pixar, and much, much more! Tune in now for our conversation over Inside Out 2. And join us next year for our annual Shelvies Celebration as we look back at the year in GoodTrash (not a best of 2024 movies episode). 

Our 2024 look back continues with Dalton's selection—the prequel horror film The First Omen. From 20th Century Fox, Arkasha Stevenson's nunsploitation attempted to breath new life into an on again/off again franchise. But, does it give birth to something new? We discuss Italy's "Years of Lead" and current political and societal concerns, the Catholic church, institutions of power, and much, much more. Join us, as we bring The First Omen to the analysis table.

Hello friends! Our voyage back through 2024 continues with Dustin's blindspot Alien Romulus. Does this journey back into the land of the Xenomorph work? Or does the McDonalds-ification of pop culture cause a breach in this one's airlock? We talk legacy sequels, Alien, and much, much more. Tune in now as we bring Alien Romulus to the analysis table.
