Trash In The Can

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE SPIDER LABYRINTH This week, the boys descend into the creepy crawly madness of 1988’s The Spider Labyrinth. Writer and critic Sarah Jane is game to discuss baby monsters, inadvertent slurs, and her own personal Hollywood Babylon. Join us for the worst spider related movie since Madame Web!   YOUR HOSTS […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ANGUISH This week, the boys descend into the eye-popping nightmare of 1987’s Anguish. Joined by One of Us podcaster Kate “Gate” Chambers, they unpack a horror movie so deeply obsessed with mothers, milk, and murder that Freud would’ve demanded a writing credit. Plus, there’s a twist so wild we can’t spoil […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: MICHAEL This week, the boys interrogate Michael (2026) like a chimp heavy episode of SVU. Joined by Trash alums Shira More, Nathan Flynn, and Chris Cox, they discuss the “white washing” of Michael Jackson’s life, the expectedly stellar soundtrack, and what might be career-worst performances across the board. Moonwalk, don’t run, […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN This week, the boys wade into a radioactive swamp as they tackle 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown. Joining them for the amphibious apocalypse is founder of the One of Us network, Chris Cox, who helps make sense of a world where fertility is currency, discovers the awful […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: STEEL MAGNOLIAS A year after our previous installment because we forgot we do mini-episodes, Trash on the Tube is back! We watched the TV series pilot sequel to the beloved movie/play that’s sweeter than Shelby’s juice, Steel Magnolias. Be sure to tune in again next year when we suddenly remember we […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RAMPAGE This week, the boys completely lose the plot (through no fault of their own) as they tackle 1997’s Rampage. Comedian Brendan K. O’Grady joins the chaos to help decipher a vigilante thriller where absolutely everyone mumbles, no location is ever established, and all murder investigations begin at Joe’s Crab Shack. […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: SUPERGIRL (1984) This week, the boys look to the skies (and immediately regret it) as they take on a baffling superhero misfire. Critic and One of Us contributor, Frank Calvillo, joins the boys to help make sense of horny witches, the world’s slowest car accident, and the wiggiest wigs that ever […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE GRINCH THAT STOLE BITCHES This week, the boys ruin Christmas with the help of a horny ex-con Grinch, drug dealing elves, and more ass shaking than a 2 Live Crew! Returning guest and podcaster, Caroline Sulek, helps us unwrap this trap house Dr. Seuss retelling that reminds us Tubi is […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE FOLLOWER This week, the boys dive into the bloody, ring-lit world of clout chasing with a very special guest, actual star of the movie, Stephanie Oustalet! It’s a tale of hashtags, hatchets, and the world’s smallest woman. Join us as we break down 2022’s The Follower, a movie where the […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL What do you get when you mix disco, Kiss, the Wicked Witch of the West, and a mountain of cocaine? The Paul Lynde Halloween Special! A variety show so baffling, it makes the Star Wars Holiday Special look restrained. Baylor Johnson joins us for a spooky […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? This week, the boys welcome Shira More of the Necromancer podcast for a cautionary tale about why you should never be roommates with Shelley Winters. Murder! Tap dancing! The world’s lowest wig line! All this and more as they watch 1971’s What’s The Matter With Helen? […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: JOURNEY TO HELL This week, the boys welcome filmmaker Christian Remde as they travel to a horrid place full of the most despicable characters imaginable! No, not the White House (ammirite?)! We go all the way to hell in this low budget “horror” movie that’s in such poor taste it could […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS This week on Trash in the Can, infamous Golden Globe “winning” Pia Zadora leads a cast of 30-year-old youngsters grooving to an ALMOST good musical score, with chainsaw-wielding maniacs and teen idol Ruth Gordon! Come for the Jermaine Jackson cameo, and stay for our thoughts on […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THEY CALL ME MACHO WOMAN This week the boys head to the woods for a tale of grief, empowerment, and John Fetterman wearing a unicorn strap-on. Fiber artist Tessa Morrison joins for Deliverance meets Death Wish, if both movies were shot over a long weekend and scored with a MIDI player. […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: CYBERNATOR What do you get when you take Bladerunner, add some Robocop, slash all but $7 from the budget, and throw in some remedial stripping? Find out as OneofUs. Net founder Chris Cox joins the boys for a raucous dicing of the inaudible sci-fi mess known as Cybernator!   YOUR HOSTS   […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ANGELS WITH ANGLES How did movies resurrect and exploit dead celebrities before Rogue One? Easy! Impressionists in Party City makeup and a budget so low the estate doesn’t bother to sue. Host of podcast Whatever Happened to Bette & Joan, Frank Calvillo, joins us for a bizarre vanity project about a […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: THE CONEHEADS Just in time to miss the SNL 50th Anniversary celebration, Trash on the Tube presents two animated SNL sitcoms that make you yearn for the nuanced humor of It’s Pat. Join us as we watch The Coneheads and The Blues Brothers Animated Series!   YOUR HOSTS   Wright Sulek […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: BLACKBIRD As fascism spreads across the globe, we look to the hero Dublin deserves, but not the one it needs right now. Or ever really. Lord of the Dance himself, Michael Flatley, whose acting can best be described by his last name, stars in this Bond pastiche he also wrote and […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RICH LITTLE’S ROBIN HOOD A holiday tradition continues and ends with today’s show. In 2022, we celebrated the season with Rich Little’s “star-studded” retelling of A Christmas Carol and we give it another go with Rich Little’s impression-laden Robin Hood. Is it festive? No. Is it fun? Try again. Did we […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ALIEN FROM L.A. This week, we see a film that blends Journey to the Center of the Earth, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Mario Brothers, and a Jane Fonda Workout. Sound fun? No? What’s wrong with you? Nathan Flynn joins us for Kathy Ireland’s acting debut as a baby-voiced moron in 1988’s Alien […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: DEMONS AT THE DOOR What do you get when you throw Satan, rubber puppets, a pug, and Richard Elfman into a blender? Nothing good! Guest Josh Santo helps the boys make sense of this Juggalo directed battle of good against evil. Crack open a bottle of Faygo and join us for […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE KISS Get ready to lose your head over an escalator! Alan Galinsky joins us for a movie that can’t decide if it’s about voodoo, parasites, or vaguely European lesbian incest. Come for the rubber cat puppet and stay for the most shocking “Recycling” segment we’ve ever had. We watched 1988’s […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR This week on Trash on the Tube, Master of Horror Wes Craven brings his most terrifying monster to the small screen – Jeffrey Jones! That’s right, noted character actor and pedophile stars as a cartoonist and “family man” whose imagination comes to life in this oddball sitcom […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: STEEL & LACE This week, guest Tessa Morrison returns for revenge served with a side of robotic boobs. Toxic bro culture gets what’s coming to it when the robot recreation of a sexual assault victim picks of her assailants one by one. It’s like Inspector Gadget, but with more penis mutilation! […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: TOXIC OBSESSION This week we go down under for another exercise in clueless ego. And no, we don’t mean the podcast! A tech industry wizard with the charisma of lawn clippings inexplicably finds himself in the middle of a fatal attraction scenario that leads him to almost raise his eyebrows. Join […]
