The second Dracula-inspired story from Universal Pictures focuses in on only a single chapter from Bram Stoker's tale. Does this make for a viable motion picture experience? We talk adaptation, film criticism, and much, much more as we unpack Dustin's 2023 blindspot. Tune in now to hear the conversation and join us next time when we discuss the biggest movie of 2023!

Hello friends! While we wait on the main show to keep the 2023 in review going, Dalton and Arthur are here with a Garbage Chute special to talk about the new A24 joint starring Nicolas Cage, Dream Scenario. This high concept dramedy pits Nic Cage as Paul Matthews, an affable professor, who starts appearing in the dreams of others—persons known and unknown to Paul. Coming off the heels of Cage's Golden Globe nomination, we take a look at this movie to see if it's cooking something up under the hood or simply a dream that will fade away.

Hello friends and familiars! We're back with another new episode to continue our 2023 round-up. And this week, Dalton hit us with a little indie flick over on Apple Plus called Fingernails. With a strong cast and interesting premise, does the movie knock us off our feet? We talk love, romance, compatibility tests, and much more as we look back at this Riz Ahmed and Jessie Buckley romance. Join us now as we continue filling in 2023 blindspots!

Hello race fans! It's that time of year where we begin looking back at the year that is and look at some blindspots to start catching up on what we might have missed. This 2023 in review begins with Arthur's pick, and he takes us to the track to talk about Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story. We realized a racing movie proper has not crossed the analysis table before, so Arthur waved the green flag to get us talking about this video game adaptation from Sony. We talk corporate brands and adaptations, racing, and much, much more! Join us now as we start looking back at the movies we missed in 2023.

Happy holidays friends! As America gears up for the biggest shopping day of the year, we thought we'd wrap up our 2018 look back with a tale of corporate greed and breaking down systems: Sorry to Bother You. This genre-bending passion project from Boots Riley developed a cult following in the year of its release, but how does it hold up. We talk about workers rights, capitalist systems, and much more as we gas up with Sorry to Bother You. Tune in now!

Hello fiends and familiars, WE are back and excited to be talking about the 2018 comic book tale VENOM. That's right, the beloved anti-hero from the Spider-verse finally gets his own movie—with no mention of Spider-man. Does it deserve being re-appraised after five years? Or is it truly trash to be left blowing down the street...like a turd in the wind? 

We talk all about that, Marvel, the hero worship of smart billionaires and much more! So, join US as we talk about VENOM!

Hello friends, as the year winds down and we get into the holiday season, we find a time to reminisce. And, thinking back, we decided to evaluate some movies from 2018 to see if they're worth re-appraisal—either good or bad. Five years is a good amount of time for a movie to begin re-entering conversations. We start this marathon off this week with the Paul Feig suspense mystery that is filled with twists and turns, A Simple Favor. Does the movie work? How has it aged in the past few years? Should Blake Lively have Ryan Reynolds career? We discuss all of this and more on this episode; join us now!
