The Trash Heap Podcast

We did it.

In our final show of the year, Elliot shares his Covid experience and we get biblical with 1999's End of Days. Start the countdown.

Ska soundtracks, snow plowing psychos, Siberian huskies and the superficialities of young love. Grab your coat because the Trash Heap is taking a snow day...or three.

A feeble old man matches wits with a disturbed teen in 2016's "I am Not A Serial Killer."

Enjoy this extremely pleasant filler episode where we discuss the many works of Michael Cera, including the criminally under-seen Youth In Revolt. C'est la vie.

You thought the nightmare was over! We're back for more Trashoween and this time we're facing off with manic pixie movie slasher Michael Myers in his latest big screen romp through Haddonfield. Keith whines about gore, Elliot hates slogans, and kids ruin everything. Happy Trashoween!

Trashoween finally returns. The barriers are down, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in to sit by our glowing t.v. screens to enjoy a few scary movies. We talk Silent Hill, The Halloween Tree, Trick, The 'Burbs...and more.

October is here and we're kicking off the season of the witch totally unprepared. This time Elliot + Keith are talking tricks, treats, terrifying flicks, and fashion for men approaching forty.

Buckle up because for the first time ever we take overrated movies and replace them with slightly more enjoyable flicks that deserve at least a small fraction of your attention. Plus: Elliot drags Wes Craven yet again, Keith discusses weather patterns, and so much more.

Sci Fi Summer ends here! Everyone is miserable and none of your favorites are going to make it out alive as we revisit Terminator: Dark Fate.

Join us as we explore an alternate reality where bears dance and sing for our amusement. SciFi summer is almost over but first we absolutely have to talk Beary Barrington and the musical stylings of The Country Bears.

Strange things are afoot under the biosphere and we're not going to stop until we solve the mystery of Dr. Barry and the Arboria Institute. The latest entry in our endless SciFi Summer is 2010's enigmatic Beyond the Black Rainbow.

Bay Area funny boy Chad Optiz joins us to probe the cultural complexities and buddy cop buffoonery of the 1988 film Alien Nation. We also talk sasquatch, childhood memories, old man strength, and interspecies relations. Chad's comedy stuff: https://www.chadopitz.com/

Welcome to the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the content of this episode and blah blah blah you know the rest. Come with us to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

What do you get when you combine computer hacking, a rowdy babysitter, early 90's hip hop, and a lost address book? It's Ghost in the Machine, of course.

A 20 year old nightmare inspired us to revisit Dreamscape (1984) and all we want to do is wake up.

Just like the old saying goes, "Preparation is the key to successful, inconspicuous time travel. Luck is the residue of design." We're coming at you with heavy spoilers, heavy subject matter, and a heavy dose of time-travel as we discuss Predestination (2014).

Sci-Fi Summer starts here! The miracle of childbirth doesn't stand a chance against Arnold Schwarzenegger and an experimental fertility drug in 1994's Junior. We won't need 9 months to get through this one.

The Egg Chronicles reach their terrifying conclusion as we sink our teeth into AVP, Roger Corman's greatest hits, and life itself. Also, stay 'til the end to find out where the Trash Heap goes from here.

Albino aliens, suspicious planets, and twin androids are just the tip of the iceberg. This is part III of our Alien Retrospective, featuring Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

The Egg Chronicles continue with the most rage-inducing entries in the series -- Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. You're not gonna believe what we have to say this time around.

Finally, it's the Alien series retrospective nobody asked for. We discuss our first memories of Alien and its sequel, plus a rundown of things to come.

The latest episode is here and it's two Highlanders for the price of one. We talk buddy chemistry, alley intercourse, blocking out the sun, and more.

The midnight special format returns! We're up late and under the influence with a major rundown of Wes Craven's 1986 tale of a robotic love and revenge from beyond the grave.

From Batfleck to Val Kilmer and beyond, here's roughly 2.5 hours all about grown men who dress up like a bat for one reason...VENGEANCE. This is a new low...even for us. Enjoy.
