GoodTrash GenreCast
A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Hello friends and fellow travelers! We bring June to a close in the Italian seaside villas that we all can so easily afford with The Talented Mr. Ripley. The 1999 thriller features a stacked ensemble including Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. We dive deep into our syllabi this week before discussing homoeroticism, misogyny, Patricia Highsmith, complex characters and narrative, and much, much more! Join us now as we invite...
Dalton and Dustin are once again joined by OKC's one and only Frightful Femme, Kirsten Therkelson, to cover the final two days of deadCenter 2025. Topics include Okie documentary Drowned Land, as well as the much talked about short film, Jeff.
Hello rage-heads! We are back this week with a Patreon-award pick from our dear friend Bekah. In honor of the newest Danny Boyle release, we are refreshing ourselves with the 2007 zombie sequel 28 Weeks Later. We return to merry ol' England to catch up with the citizens following the outbreaks in 28 Days Later. We discuss post-9/11 cinema, biopolitics, ethical quandaries, and much, much more. Thanks Bekah! Tune in now to hear us st...

WTO/99: An immersive archival documentary that reanimates the clash between the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the mo...
Hello friends and familiars! We are back once more with another helping of GoodTrash! This week, we are diving into the 1980s and the erotic thriller with the Michael Douglas and Glenn Close classic, Fatal Attraction. We discuss relationships, stupid decisions, Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, 80s lifestyles, and much, much more! So, boil some water and get ready to join us at the analysis table to discuss Fatal Attraction.
Hello fiends, familiars, and you Schematic fanatics! We are back this week with our old friend Caleb Masters to discuss Tropic Thunder. Yes, a movie that may or may not be possible to make now. A movie that came back with a vengeance when a new class of film watcher discovered Kirk Lazarus. We discuss Hollywood satire, the act of black face, the state of film criticism, and much, much more. So, grab your Booty Sweat, set your TiVo,...
Hello fiends and familiars! May draws to an end bringing the heat with it. This week, we take a look at the 1997 family thriller Eve's Bayou. Kasi Lemmons' Souther Gothic story is intense, tragic, mysterious, and, at times, supernatural. We discuss and define the southern gothic, troubling family relationships, and much, much more as we visit Louisiana and bring Eve's Bayou to the analysis table. Tune in now!
Hello Houston? We have a podcast! We are back this week to talk Ron Howard's Apollo 13. But, we did not undertake this mission alone. Journalist, critic, all around awesome person Jo Light joins us (from No Film School, Final Draft, and more).

Hello lords and ladies or fiends and familiars, however you might identify, and welcome to another episode of the GenreCast.

We take a look at Joe Wright's tale of love and society as we bring Pride and Prejudice to the analysis table. Join us!
Friends and familiars, grab your boas because it is time to ruffle some feathers! This week, we are joined by the wonderful Daniel Bokemper to discuss a Robin Williams and Gene Hackman classic, The Birdcage. Launching Nathan Lane to a new level, this Mike Nichols piece feels as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. But, does it have much to say? Join us, as we take The Birdcage to the analysis table!
Hello, and welcome one and all to the hall of the Goblin King! That's right, the ship is back on its normal course and we've got potpourri galore for you! We kick things off with an 80s fantasy staple in the form of Jim Henson's Labyrinth. It's Bowie and Connelly, puppets, and the 1980s! We discuss Bowie, Connelly, casting, music, and much, much more as we bring Labyrinth to the analysis table. Tune in now!
Hello once again friends! We are back, and Dalton is bringing the ship into port with a seminal experience The Battle of Algiers. The 1966 Italian realist work is noted for its style, approach, and message—but is it still relevant? We bring The Battle of Algiers to the analysis table to talk realism, impact, totalitarianism, and much, much more. Tune in now to hear our analysis!
Howdy fiends and familiars! We are back down the chute this week with the hotly anticipated new joint from Ryan Coogler, Sinners. The full GoodTrash gang is here to tell you whether or not you should see this one. To do so, we're joined by filmmaker, podcaster, and programmer Paris Burris! Is Coogler's first original film in 13 years worth your time? We break it all down on this Garbage Chute Sinners review! Tune in now!
Willkommen, bienvenue... welcome fiends and familiars, ghouls and gals to the third blindspot in Dalton's lineup, Bob Fosse's Cabaret. This musical is set in Berlin in the early 1930s—it was a different time. But the film was developed amidst the Nixon era. So, it has politics and art. Or is that redundant? We look at the rise of Liza Minnelli, the style of Bob Fosse, and the antifascist messaging of Cabaret to see if there are any...
Well, ghouls and gals, Dalton's programming attempts are off to a solid start. This week, he keeps the crime motif running as we go back to 1985 and a pivotal voice in car chases with William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A.. Boasting a couple of mostly no-name leads in Willem Dafoe and William Petersen and a wild car chase, To Live and Die in L.A. takes us to the west coast in an explosive, subversive experience. But, is it all ...
Fiends and familiars, our sincerest producer apologies... Dalton, well, Dalton has been given the reins to the show for the next few weeks. He's been tasked with covering some of his genre-rific blindspots. This week, to kick things off, he chose King of New York. Christopher Walken, cocaine, crime, a Robin Hood adjacent narrative? This movie seemingly has it all, but does it have much to say? We bring Abel Ferrara's King of New Yo...
Hello fiends and familiars! In our post-600 celebration, we've drifted back to the Wonderful Wizard Lynch. Our Patreon-sponsored episode goes to friend Keithan who is forcing us to complete the filmography of David Lynch in the form of Inland Empire. To do so, we are joined by oft-mentioned GoodTrash friend Harper who has ridden the Lynch wave alongside Dalton. Our hosts come together this week to attempt to unpack and analyze what...
The eagles have landed, and we arrive at Mount Doom for episode 600! What a fantastical journey it has been, and we are so thankful to everyone who has listened over the years! This week, we finish out The Lord of the Rings with The Return of the King. We discuss franchises, actors, and much, much more as we try to destroy and the ring, and bring The Return of the King to the analysis table. Join us now!
Hello friends, and welcome to another dive down the garbage chute! This time, Arthur is back from his adventures at the theater to discuss Steven Soderbergh's second film of 2025, Black Bag.
