GoodTrash GenreCast

Ladies and Gents, we get back around the table to discuss race, editing, speech, and film cycles as we talk Guy Ritchie's cult classic, Snatch. We also talk about our favorite gangsters, and in a bit of a dated edition of Pop Culture we talk about what has us fired up. Enjoy, and again, sorry for the delay.

Stackin 'casts y'all. That's right, we hop back 'round the table to talk Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. We look for the american dream, fetishisation, racism, and church camp... Yeah, that's right, church camp. We also count down our top three movies we'd have on repeat for this week's game. Finally, we end like we always do, talking pop culture and it's fiery effect on all of us. 

The Rabbit HoleThis week we referenced quite a bit of academic work. During her analysis, Alex mentioned the article "Driving While Black" which you can give a look right over here. Dustin's review of the film began with a reference to Global Art Cinema edited by Galt and Schoonover, which you can order from Amazon here. Arthur talked film grammar and Christian Metz with a specific reference to Film Language: A Semiotics of the Cinema which you can peruse in PDF form over here. He also referenced Alexandre Astruc's essay over Avant Garde cinema "La Camera Stylo" which you can read here. And finally, if you're sick of Andrew Jackson dominating the Twenty Dollar Bill, then head over to Women on 20s to give your input on which historical female figures you would like to see in cash form.

Dear Listener, we wrap up #YouPicktheTrash and we just want to say thank you for some great recommendations, and we look forward to more in the future. This week we look at Kirsten's pick Jennifer's Body. We have a good time as Kirsten sits in the guest host seat, and we talk misogyny, exploitation of all kinds, and sex. The Game sees us talking about poorly advertised films, and, as always, we all make fun of Dustin.... and talk about Pop Culture. So come and join us dear listener. 

The Rabbit Hole This week we made several references to past episodes, such as: You're Next and The Blair Witch Project which both saw Kirsten guest hosting with us. Arthur made reference to the Dustin's favorite, The Faculty. And Dustin gets a plug in for Nightbreed. So, go give those movies a listen and get enjoy the conversation.
