GoodTrash GenreCast

We're back fiends and familiars! This week, Schlocktober moves right along into the food court from the pavilion. That's right, we are talking hubs of commercial gathering as we discuss Chopping Mall. Oft mentioned by a dear friend of the show, we finally get this one to the table. Does it have much to say about 80s consumerism? Or will it short out before it gets good? Tune in to find out as we b...

Hello ghouls and goblins! It is once again that time of the year, the pumpkins are out and the candles are lit—this time, though, the pumpkin was discounted and the candles were on clearance, because it is time for Schlocktober. That's right! It's nothing but B movies (C movies, D movies, etc.). We're celebrating those cult classics all month long. And we kick things off with Larry Cohen's The Stu...

Order! Order! The GoodTrash GenreCast is now in its final session for the Moving On marathon. That's right, the train is in the depot as we discuss our final afterlife story. This week, we're looking back at Albert Brooks' cult classic, Defending Your Life. It is Brooks, and it is Streep. Does it have anything to say? Does it know what it is trying to say? How is it handling comedy? We discuss all...

Hey! Fiends and familiars, we are gathered here today to discuss the ghost with the most. That's right, the Moving On marathon takes us back to Tim Burton and a movie that, shockingly, has never made it to our analysis table, Beetlejuice. The Michael Keaton classic is a force unto itself. But, is there anything going on under the hood or is it a bunch of red tape? Grab a number, take a seat, and j...

Helloooo dear listeners! We are back with more smooth podcasting sounds for your listening pleasure. Our Moving On marathon finds itself continuing towards the Great Beyond. This week, its the animated afterlife we're after as we take a look at the Covid-Era Pixar release, Soul. This jazz odyssey through the afterlife sparked a number of conversations, many of which we attempt to engage here. We t...

Hello fiends and familiars! The Oops All Marathon Year takes us shuffling off this mortal coil and into the afterlife. We start a new marathon simply called, Moving On. We kick things off this week with a bit of a swing from 1998 entitled What Dreams May Come. This film sits as another in Robin William's run as a more "serious" actor. But, has time been kind or is it all style with no substance? W...

Hello friends and fiends! Dalton is here to put his final darling down, and its kind of a doozy. This week, we bring the Academy Award Best Picture winner American Beauty to the altar for analysis. Sam Mendes' massive hit was a sign of the times, but how has it aged? We talk milieu, the turn of the millennium, Kevin Spacey, and much, much more as we break down American Beauty.  

Welcome back ladies and gents to a dangerous episode. Dalton continues to Kill His Darlings in the most violent way possible — by taking them to Basin City. That's right, Dalton's third pick, and something of a cheat, is a trip to Frank Miller's Sin City. The anthology of gritty black-and-white tales called out to a young teen Dalton, but they might have aged like milk. We talk Miller, misogyny, a...

Hello cadets, we are back for another judgment decision as Dalton presents his next Darling to be decided. For this episode, we take a look at the 2000 sci-fi animated action story, Titan AE. With a strong voice cast and a veteran animated filmmaker at the helm, Titan AE had elements of becoming an animated classic. But, that is not quite what panned out. This week, we discuss animation, developme...

We've come back, once again, to this place for magic...and sacrifice. That's right, Dalton has now been tasked with Killing His Darlings. To do so, he takes us first back to 1994 in an effort to re-evaluate the mixed media adventure, The Pagemaster. Following the success of two Home Alone films, Macaulay Culkin teams up with a crew of well-voiced books in order to find his way back to home and his...

Hello everyone and welcome back! We all have main character energy this week as we wrap up our Summer of Lists with Our Top 10 Cinematic Heroes!

This week, we go to the well once again, appropriately enough, as we discuss Our Top 10 Sequels. That's right, we're looking at continuations, bridges, follow-ups, studio mandated directives and much, much more. Are sequels worth the effort? Are they ever better than the original? We talk all that and more as the Summer of Lists rolls on. What are your favorite sequels—let us know: goodtrashgenrec...

Good evening ladies, gents, and those who remain unaffiliated! This black tie affair is reserved for part three of the 2026 Summer of Lists: Academy Award what ifs. That's right, we're taking a look back at Oscar's nearly 100 years of history to identify the Best Picture nominees that probably should have won the big award. Come with us as we rewrite history and secure justice for some great movie...

Hello friends, family, and Netflix subscribers! The Summer of Lists continues this week as we play the Hollywood pitch game. On this list, we each countdown five desired remakes. We look at classics, bombs, unknowns, and much more to outline 15 films we think could use a refresh. Are remakes passé? Maybe, but that's the game. Tune in to find out what moneymakers we have in the pipeline. Have your...

Hello fiends and familiars! It is now the Season of the List AND a very special episode 666! So, to celebrate, we decided to kickoff the summer of lists with our top 10 horror films. That's right, the genre that we love so much is brought to altar as we have to choose 10 horror films that rise above the rest—for us. Is it subjective or objective? Yes, maybe, who knows. It was fun, and a bit challe...

Ready to vibe dear listener? This week, we bring our Cinematic Syndication marathon to an end with the 2006 adaptation of Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Mann worked on the original series and took the helm of a notoriously troubled cinematic production with stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. Since then, the movie has earned a cult reputation—but, does it have anything going on? Or is it just a shiny...

We're the GoodTrash GenreCast, and welcome to our Jackass episode. That's right, as we continue to look at shows moving from the small screen to the big screen, we take an unprecedented approach—one that might be the end of our show for good. Or so it seems. Dalton advocates hard for the rhetoric of Jackass: The Movie, while Dustin responds as though Johnny Knoxville threw him in the snake pit. Ar...

From practical sets to product plac...
