GoodTrash GenreCast

#YouPickTheTrash is back and we're joined by listener and recurring guest host, Nick Sanford. This week, we pick the film he suggested Twister. The blockbusters keep on coming, so get to your safe place and check out this weeks show. We talk formalism, westerns, naturalism, and social commentary. We pick some of our favorite spectacle films, and finally we wind up in the pop culture arena. We also urge you to sit through the credits for a little more fun. 

The Rabbit HoleHere's a link to the Kickstarter that Alex talked about, regarding the Pauline Kael documentary that is in the works.

Have you got your vaccination, dear listener? That's right, we need camo to avoid infection as we struggle through World War Z. The movie gets a mild reaction as we talk production, class, adaptation, and a post-9/11 cinematic world. We highlight some of Brad Pitt's finest moments and end with pop culture as always. Thanks for listening Dear Listener.

The Rabbit HoleFor more on the production history of World War Z, go check out this piece from Vanity Fair, entitled "Brad's War".For a more in-depth look at Horror Blockbusters, and also a really good podcast, go check out The Faculty of Horror.  

We get back around the table, ladies and gentlemen, to discuss a keystone from the 80s; Steven Spielberg's E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. In a rare moment, Dalton does not make it to the table, so Alex searched high and low for a decent replacement; please welcome @huffmanheath Heath Huffman as he provides a generic trope reading of the film. The rest of the gang talk psychoanalysis, cultural immersion, christian iconography, and narrative scoring. We talk about what movie creatures we would like as pets or friends. And we end as always, with what has us fired up in pop culture.

We're back dear listener! This week we bring, political, religious, queer and neocolonial readings to 1987's Predator.

Just because we love you, dear listener: here's a commentary track on ID4 from Dustin and Arthur to go with this week's regularly scheduled programming.

It gets seasonal dear listener, as we take a look at 1996's Box Office Hit: Independence Day. We look at a young Will Smith and a hot Jeff Goldblum and talk Americana, pollution, and commodification of race. The game sees us talking about our favorite conspiracy films we want to see on film, and we finish as always with what has us fired up in Pop Culture.

We have a totally excellent new dish of Good Trash this week for you, most awesome listener. We tackle all sorts of history as we talk time travel, counter culture, and Sigmund Freud. A radical time is had as we talk about times and locations we would travel to, and what cinematic sidekicks would go with us. Also, we're all a bit fired up this week in pop culture. So, dial in and have a most awesome time with the Good Trash Gang this week.

It's a howl of a time this week dear listener, as we tackle the independent Canadian film, WolfCop. The show gets hairy as we talk about alcoholism, government funding, and independent film funding. The gang pitches potential mythical beasts with mundane jobs ideas. And finally, we're all very fired up in pop culture this week. So, come on in dear listener, the moon is full and the podcast is ready for you.

Hello everyone, it is another edition of GoodTrash! This week we take a look back at 1992 and Robert Zemeckis' screwball fantasy Death Becomes Her. How does the film measure up? Is it as good today as we charmingly remember it to be? Or does it have too many holes to be fully functioning? We talk masculinity, femininity, authorship, and the Hollywood Dream Factory through our analysis. We then highlight ladies we would like to see playing Femme Fatales, or that have played the role before. As always, we got into the fire of pop culture and Alex dropped some special news for You, the dear listener. All of that and more, as you must stay through the credits this week in another Marvelous edition of GTGC.
