Helloooo friends, fiends, and wood sprites! The GoodTrash Kru is back at it taking names and killin' darlings. This week, we're feeling TOXIC as take a look at a pick from our Patreon Supporter Clayton! Clayton wanted to see how FernGully: The Last Rainforest has stood up against Father Time.

Listeners! Summer is getting started, and that means it is time for some lovin'! And, the death of more darlings! That's right, our Patreon supporters continue to kill their darlings this week as our good friend Bekah brings Grease to the analysis garage?

Howdy campers! It's a new marathon in the year of OOOOPS All Marathons! This month, our Patreon supporters will be killing their darlings. And, we start with Keithan who has chosen a 90s kid classic—Heavyweights. We spend a ton of time talking about children's media, picking up where we left off last week. In fact, we focus so much on our syllabus that it becomes business time outta nowhere! So, t...

Dustin kills his final darling with this bizarre, surreal, gothic take on the world of Oz in Disney's Return to Oz. Stop-motion, musical numbers, proto Jack Skellington—it's all here, and we try to figure it out. We spend a long time lamenting children's media and questioning where things went wrong. We hope you join us as we try to get our heads on right and analyze Return to Oz. Tune in now!

Is there a podcaster in the house? This week, we find out.

We discuss medical horror, meta forerunners, Studio risks, and much, much more as we page Dr. Giggles to the AR—analysis room! Check in now and join us for our...

We thought we were done knowing Jack, but this week, he seems to have reared his ugly head once again—kind of. This week, Dustin continues Killing His Darlings with the 1990 Touchstone Pictures release: Spaced Invaders. This homage to War of the Worlds, and probably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is a fascinating bomb from the era of high concept. We talk pastiche, homage, War of the Worlds, capita...

Hello freaks and geeks! The GoodTrash Bois are back with another brand new marathon—this month, Arthur has tasked Dustin with Killing His Darlings, and he begins with a Full Moon Pictures feature, Netherworld. Not quite made for Cinemax, this feature flirts with the line of titillation. We discuss straight to video filmmaking, the dreamscapes of our youth, and much, much more as we bring Netherwor...

Alright weirdos! We're pulling our Steampunk Train into the harbor this week as we wrap up our Heart of Stone marathon in the best way we know how–by getting strange with it. We end this marathon with a look at the unique collaboration between Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos. Poor Things is our choice here, but any of the four team ups are worth talking about. This week, we gotta talk about sex, b...

Here we go good bois and girls, the GenreCast is back with more Heart of Stone. This week, we look at Emma Stone's turn as one of Disney's most iconic villains—Cruella. Out of the success of I, Tonya Craig Gillespie finds himself at the helm of a major franchise film. But, is this one fashionably in style or a major woof! We discuss Disney's regurgitation habits, Emma Stone's next move, needle dro...

And we kick it off with Stone's first leading role, Easy A. We discuss the purity culture movement, Emma Stone, high school comedies, pastiche, a...

For the second time in as many weeks, we find ourselves learning once more about young Jack Ryan. In the second reboot of the series, Chris Pine now helms the mantle of the analyst extraordinaire. We finally see the legendary helicopter crash that is pivotal to his backstory before we see him move to Wall Street to begin his work with the CIA. Trading in James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman for Kev...

We continue to learn more about Jack... Ryan this week as we move into the third part of our marathon. Not only do we get a new movie for a new decade, we get another new Jack Ryan — Ben Affleck. Maybe most noted for its mid-film set piece that stands as eerie bit of business at the time of release, Affleck's Ryan outing is rooted in the action filmmaking style of the 2000s. How does it hold up? H...

Hello lads, lasses, and other un-assumed masses, our "You Don't Know Jack... Ryan" marathon with the second man to take the mantle, Harrison Ford. This week, we play Patriot Games.

Obviously, it was apropos to follow The Red Shoes with The Hunt for Red October. We talk the Soviet Union, American Geopolitics, Jack...

As the lights begin to fade, we find ourselves at the final performance of the Archers for this marathon. This week, we take a look at Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes. The Archer's oft-considered magnum opus has inspired countless filmmakers and fans alike.

Hark, we pilgrims continue down the road of the Archer's filmography in order to view A Canterbury Tale. On our journey to The Red Shoes, we find ourselves stopped over in a random small village to solve the mystery of what is going on with this movie. Dustin posits an interesting production hypothesis on the making of this film as we discuss the Britishness of it. Join us as we walk the road and...

Ahoy dear friends! The train keeps rolling and the target keeps moving. The Archers are back with an epic adventure: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. With a returning crew of actors and a cartoon inspiration, the duo turn in maybe their most British movie. We talk England, conflict, the women of the Archers, and much, much more!

Cheers friends, we're back for another round of that Antitrash goodness as we reach back into our quiver and fire another round of analysis at The Archers. This week, we take a look at Powell and Pressburger's I Know Where I'm Going. This slapstick romance takes us on location for some fun and adventure, but does it have anything going on when the wind settles? We continue our discussion of Powell...

Thanks again for anothe...

In the second of his video-turned-audio experiments, Arthur checks in with his review of Bradley Cooper's third feature film, Is This Thing On? The domestic drama starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern lands in the midst of awards season, but does it earn an ovation or is it a bomb? Arthur shares his quick thoughts on the film, the cast, Cooper, and recommends whether or not it is worth your time. Tu...

Arthur drops his verdict on this special episode of the Garbage Chute. Tune in...

Aloha fellow cinephiles! We are continuing our look back at the culturally relevant films of 2025 with the second highest domestic grosser of the year (as of this recording), Lilo and Stitch. That's right, Disney has once again gone to the well to fish out another of their classic properties and attempt to make it live action. But what does that even mean? We discuss remakes, reboots, animation, a...
