Well dear friends, we're closing out another year! And that means, it is time for our annual Shelvie Award celebration. As always, this is a look back at our year in GoodTrash—not a best movies from 2022 list. We will be doing that later in January 2023, so be on the lookout. 

The Shelvie Awards are dedicated to us reflecting back on the movies we watched for this show, and highlighting the highs and lows. Which movies did we fall in love with for the first time? Which movie ignited new feelings upon a rewatch? And which one was the worst of the worst? We explore all of that before placing our top picks on the Platinum Shelf. 

We hope you enjoyed the year, and we look forward to bringing you more trash in 2023!

Hello friends, and welcome back to another Garbage Chute surprise! This week, Arthur is joined by Dalton to discuss a pair of new releases.

Women Talking Review: 00:1:27

White Noise Review: 00:21:37 

First up, we're talking Sarah Polley's Women Talking, adapted from a novel of the same name. Featuring an ensemble including, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, and Ben Whishaw, Women Talking takes a look at a group of women in a small religious community as they attempt to reckon with traumatic events that have been taking place. Women Talking opens in limited release on Dec. 23, and goes wide in January.

After that, we take a look at White Noise. The new film from Noah Baumbach for Netflix. Set in the 80s amidst an airborne event, White Noise focuses on a family helmed by Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig. The two try to navigate familial and personal anxieties as the world around them erupts into chaos. White Noise hits Netflix on Dec. 30 with a few limited theatrical showings. 

Tune in now to hear our thoughts on both of these films and whether we recommend you see them. Thanks for listening!

Strap in friends, this week, we're wrapping up our look back at 2022 with the highest grossing movie of the year (we used to do this pre pandemic), which is none other than the beloved Top Gun: Maverick. Tom Cruise is back with one of the biggest movies of his career, and it has received critical and commercial praise, but what do we think about it? Tune in to find out! We're also talking Tom Cruise as star, auteurism, military propaganda, shadowy villains, and much, much more!

Our 2022 Catch-up Marathon continues with Arthur's blindspot, and one of his most highly anticipated movies of the year, Don't Worry Darling. Olivia Wilde's sophomore effort was poised for awards season glory before a roller coaster press tour derailed it by its release date. But, is there really something there? We drive into Victory Village and try to understand what's going on. This week, we're talking about certain tropes, confused gender empowerment, and much more as we open this up and tinker with the parts. Tune in now and let us know what you think!
