GoodTrash GenreCast

Hello friends, as the year winds down and we get into the holiday season, we find a time to reminisce. And, thinking back, we decided to evaluate some movies from 2018 to see if they're worth re-appraisal—either good or bad. Five years is a good amount of time for a movie to begin re-entering conversations. We start this marathon off this week with the Paul Feig suspense mystery that is filled wit...

Spoiler Discussion begins at 18:26 Hello friends, we're back with a special spoiler-filled review episode of the new Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon. The GoodTrash crew made it out to the talkies, and we found a few minutes to sit around discussing this epic western crime historical narrative. Does it warrant it's sixth-of-a-day run time? Should it be seen in a theater? Will Scors...

As our Series of Coen-cidences comes to a close, we, pardon the pun, bring the train into the station with Dustin's Host Pick: Throw Momma from the Train. This Billy Crystal-led ode to Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is an absurdist tale from co-star and director Danny DeVito. But, how does it hold up after all of these years? And how does it connect to the Coens? Tune in to find out! TIMESTAMPS...

Hello ghouls and goblins! We're diggin' through ditches and burnin' through witches this week as we speed through Rob Zombie's family film, The Munsters. The Horror-teur has a long history of family focused bloodshed, but this time he turns to a softer story as he takes on one of Hollywood's classic families.

Welcome back dear friends! We're back and keeping the family fun on the agenda this week.

Hello fiends and familiars! The GoodTrash gang is back to continue our summer of lists! This week, we're taking a look at our favorite decade, the 1990s (mostly because it was the most formative decade). But, in true GenreCast fashion, we're taking an academic approach as we attempt to identify the top ten movies we would use to teach the 1990s (whatever that might mean). And trust us, the rules a...
