Hello friends and familiars, we're so happy to catch up with you in this life for another Garbage Chute special review. Dalton and Arthur made it out to the picture show to catch the anticipated new romance from Celine Song, Past Lives. This festival favorite from A24 has been building buzz since Sundance, but can it live up to the hype? Dalton and Arthur give you their thoughts and recommendations on whether or not you should check out Celine Song's Past Lives. Tune in now!

Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back for another adventure. We dust off our fedoras and take on the fourth chapter in the Indiana Jones franchise: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from 2008. The much maligned fourth film is being brought up in light of a brand new entry: Dial of Destiny. Has Crystal Skull aged like a fine wine? Or is it still a stinking relic? We're joined by writer, editor, and all around fun friend, Lucas Dunn. On this episode, we get to the analysis table to talk mid-1900s politics, passings of torches, Shia LaBeouf, and much more. Join us now as we work through another Indiana Jones tale.

Friends and familiars, our sleepy boys put a bow on their deadCenter 2023 coverage. From long hot days to late night shorts, it was a great time, but now sleep awaits. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage of this year's event—and we hope to be back next year with even more coverage! Make sure to subscribe to catch our normal shows and any future special events that might await us. 

Sorry for a late update, but Day 3 of deadCenter Film Festival was a hoot. We're feeling the festival sleepies by now. On this recap, Dalton, Dustin, and Alex sit down for a conversation with Theo and the .22 director/writer Caleb Vesely and Fry Bread Jesus director/co-star/writer Erik Sanchez. Then, our very sleepy boys sit down to talk about the comedy shorts block as well as two narrative features; Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls and Quantum Cowboys. Please, send your thoughts to be with us as we find time to rest and finish the fest. 

Welcome back friends and foes! The festival is well underway, and day two brought a lot with it. Dustin, Alex, and Dalton recap the second day of deadCenter Film Festival 2023. They discuss narrative features The Awkward Stage and Know Your Place as well as two blocks of short films; Okie Shorts 1 and Sinful Sinema Shorts.

Somewhere between a preview and a night cap, Dalton, Dustin, and Alex are here with a precap of Day 2 of the deadCenter Film Festival. In the midst of Day 2, Alex, Dalton and Dustin sit down with Caleb Masters from The Cinematic Schematic to talk festival life and preview the remainder of the day.

The deadCenter Film Festival 2023 kicked off in earnest yesterday, and Dustin, Dalton, and Alex Sanchez are continuing their coverage. Per Dalton, they consider the vibe of the opening night wrap party before Dustin recaps his watch of What Rhymes with Reason. Then, the boys discuss the Oklahoma premier of the screwball, neo-noir, comedy of manners that is Hell Hath No Fury from Okie director Zachary Burns and writer Jacob Leighton Burns.

Drop your Roy Orbison vinyl on the deck, and let down your hair, it's time to revisit THE rom-com of the 1990s: Pretty Woman. It's the movie that certified Julia Roberts as box office gold. We talk all about fairy tales, rom-coms, movie stars, the classic Hollywood style, and much, much more.
