Welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast! It's prom season, which means it is time for limos, gowns and bloodbaths! That's right, we get back into our normal, non-singing routine with the original Brian De Palma classic, Carrie. Dalton didn't get asked to the prom, so  Alexandra Bohannon came by the studio to count the king and queen ballots for us. Dancing with Carrie The 1976 adaptati...

Your favorite film analysis podcast moves along slightly in the '80s as the Musical Revue continues with a look at Hairspray (1988). John Waters' cult classic is unabashedly campy and bizarre, but does it hold up to the test of time? As we continue along this musical journey, Hairspray is a bit of an odd departure. The original 1988 film is less a musical and more of a dance film. There are still...

The GoodTrash Musical Revue continues this week as we move forward to the 80s with the Frank Oz cult classic, Little Shop of Horrors. We thought long and hard about what musicals to add to this Revue. We're going to limit our options somewhat by sticking to the 80s through today, trying to hit a bit from the 80s, 2000s and 2010s. We're going to do some more camp, some traditional Broadway content...

What is this a crossover episode? Indeed it is! The sweet boys from The Praisedown , Heath Huffman and Alex Sanchez , join the GenreCast to discuss the 1973 musical Jesus Christ Superstar.  As we near Easter Sunday, we thought what better way to celebrate than to join forces with GTM's resident CCM aficionados. A good time is had as the Mega Powers unite to bring you a podcast of Biblically-epic p...

Hello and welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast, the GenreCast from GoodTrash Media. We're back to the trashy basics with a look at the 1988 Cannon production of Bloodsport. The film marks Jean-Claude Van Damme's first starring turn. Is it lovable campy fun?

Your favorite film analysis podcast is back to attempt to bring our trademark film analysis to the 2005 adaptation of Æon Flux. Karyn Kusama's ( Jennifer's Body , The Invitation) follow up to Girlfight received mostly negative reviews, but does it deserve a re-evaluation?

Here it is. The culmination of our annual AntiTrash marathon, we run down the Top Movies of 2017. Be warned, this is a longer episode than normal. But, we had a good time and hopefully you do, too.

It's been a stream of great movies with this AntiTrash Marathon. This week is no exception. Dalton easily talked us into the Charles Laughton thriller, Night of the Hunter. A quick Producer's Note — Due to a bit of misplacement, we recorded this episode on an iPhone. So, apologies if the audio isn't up to the normal standard. Ep. 251 – Night of the Hunter Review and Analysis In programming this ye...

Eraserhead is Lynch's first feature, a surreal art film that achieved cult status and earned Lynch the good will to go forth and make The Elephant Man. His first feature, however, is about Henry Spencer. Spencer is a bit of an everyman, while on vacation he reunites with his estranged girlfriend/lover/FWB (?) and discovers she has had his... child. The film sees Henry try to cope as a newlywed and...

Welcome to a new year and a new edition of AntiTrash! That's right, your favorite film analysis podcast is back with the 5th annual AntiTrash Marathon. And we're kicking it off with Alfonso Cuaron's Y Tu Mama También. AntiTrash is always a time for us to get together, really ingest some healthy stuff and then prepare to throw it all away when we hit the trash later in the year. We thought we'd sta...

Here's a tasty taste of some of the bonus content we are going to be offering our Patreon Patrons. It's the same kind of show you might be used to, however, we have resurrected our "Fired Up" section and the circumstances of recording changes the dynamic. The circumstances in question are that we watched this movie together and immediately recorded the episode. So we are a bit sillier, a bit hot-t...
