GoodTrash GenreCast
Hosted by GoodTrash Media · EN
A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

2w ago01:00:12Tap to summarizeHowdy 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, tune in now to find out if this silly kid's comedy has anything to say or find out if it is all fat. We bring Heavyweights to the analysis table now! Join us!
Transcribe →Return to Oz (1985)
3w ago01:04:37Tap to summarizeDustin 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!
Transcribe →Dr. Giggles (1992)
4w ago00:47:52Tap to summarizeIs there a podcaster in the house? This week, we find out. Dustin continues to kill his darlings with a deep cut from 1992, Dr. Giggles. We get our kill count prescriptions filled this week as we take a look at this goofy Universal B-movie. 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 conversation!
Transcribe →Spaced Invaders (1990)
Apr 1000:52:03Tap to summarizeWe 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, capitalism, Jack Nicholson, and much, much more as we bring Spaced Invaders to the analysis table. Join us now!
Transcribe →Netherworld (1992)
Apr 201:05:24Tap to summarizeHello 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 Netherworld to the analysis table. Join us now as Dustin continues to bring his darlings to the altar.
Transcribe →Poor Things (2023)
Mar 2601:16:37Tap to summarizeAlright 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, baby. We talk about stories about women by men (as three men, we're experts in this), and we discuss Emma Stone's turn from Hollywood A-Lister to versatile artist looking for a challenging role. Join us this week as we analyze Poor Things and end our Heart of Stone marathon.
Transcribe →Cruella (2021)
Mar 1900:50:41Tap to summarizeHere 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 drops, and much, much more as we drive Cruella to the analysis table. Tune in now!
Transcribe →La La Land (2016)
Mar 1201:03:46Tap to summarizeHowdy do crooners, belters, and smooth operators! Our Heart of Stone marathon continues on this week as we take a look at the film that got Stone her first Oscar, La La Land. That's right, Damien Chazelle returns to the analysis table with his Classic Hollywood Musical. We discuss music, what it takes to accomplish dreams (and when to sell out), and much, much more as we discuss La La Land and Emma Stone's continued rise. Join us now, and don't forget to subscribe to keep up with all our Heart of Stone content!
Transcribe →Easy A (2010)
Mar 500:50:14Tap to summarizeGather 'round friends and foes, we're back with a new month—and of course, that also means a new marathon. This month, we're pivoting from Jack Ryan to one of the best actors of her generation, Emma Stone. This month, it is our "Heart of Stone" marathon. 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, and much, much more as we examine Easy A.
