GoodTrash GenreCast

Good evening ladies, gents, and those who remain unaffiliated! This black tie affair is reserved for part three of the 2026 Summer of Lists: Academy Award what ifs. That's right, we're taking a look back at Oscar's nearly 100 years of history to identify the Best Picture nominees that probably should have won the big award. Come with us as we rewrite history and secure justice for some great movies—as you listen, we had one caveat, the winner had to come from the pool of nominees. Did we miss the mark? Do you strongly agree with some of our controversial choices? Let us know at [email protected]! Tune in next week as the Summer of Lists continues!

Hello friends, family, and Netflix subscribers! The Summer of Lists continues this week as we play the Hollywood pitch game. On this list, we each countdown five desired remakes.

Tune in to find out what moneymakers we have in the pipeline. Have your own remake ideas? Send them to [email protected]! Tune in and subscribe as we continue the Summer of Lists all through July. 

Hello fiends and familiars! It is now the Season of the List AND a very special episode 666! So, to celebrate, we decided to kickoff the summer of lists with our top 10 horror films. That's right, the genre that we love so much is brought to altar as we have to choose 10 horror films that rise above the rest—for us. Is it subjective or objective? Yes, maybe, who knows. It was fun, and a bit challenging. So, join us as we run down our top horror picks from the entirety of cinematic history. Did yours make the cut? Let us know: [email protected]! Tune in next week as the summer of lists continues!

Ready to vibe dear listener? This week, we bring our Cinematic Syndication marathon to an end with the 2006 adaptation of Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Mann worked on the original series and took the helm of a notoriously troubled cinematic production with stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. Since then, the movie has earned a cult reputation—but, does it have anything going on? Or is it just a shiny distraction? We break down vibes cinema, troubled sets, storytelling, digital photography and much more as we bring Miami Vice into the analysis station. Join us now! 

We're the GoodTrash GenreCast, and welcome to our Jackass episode. That's right, as we continue to look at shows moving from the small screen to the big screen, we take an unprecedented approach—one that might be the end of our show for good. Or so it seems. Dalton advocates hard for the rhetoric of Jackass: The Movie, while Dustin responds as though Johnny Knoxville threw him in the snake pit. Arthur tries to be the funny fat guy between them. Does it work? Does this movie have anything to say? Opinions differ wildly! So, tune in to our Jackass: The Movie analysis and please, don't try this at home!

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, 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. 

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!

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 Kevin Costner, we get another image of Ryan in another decade where franchise filmmaking has shifted significantly—we of course talk about the politics, the post-war on terror philosophies, the Hollywood Chrises, and much more! Join us now as we wrap up our You Don't Know Jack... Ryan marathon. 

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? How do Clancy's politics continue to shift? We discuss all of that and much more on this episode. Tune in now!

Obviously, it was apropos to follow The Red Shoes with The Hunt for Red October. We talk the Soviet Union, American Geopolitics, Jack Ryan, Alec Baldwin, and start to think about how we're going to rank our Ryans. Tune in now!

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. We talk stardom, performance, tyrannical leaders, and much, much more as we lace up our dancing boots to discuss The Red Shoes. Tune in now!

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 analyze A Canterbury Tale. 

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.

We continue our discussion of Powell and Pressburger and move through their filmography. Join us for our conversation over I Know Where I'm Going!

Cheerio ladies, gents, and nondescript friends alike! It is January, and that can only mean one thing: ANTITRASH.

We're notching our first arrow in the form of Black Narcissus from 1947—a beauty in technicolor. Join us now to hear us discuss Black Narcissus.

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, and much, much more as we try to parse meaning from Disney's Lilo and Stitch. Tune in now!

Hello friends and familiars! We return to semi-regular programming... but not really. Dustin has commandeered the ship and is programming the month of November. Spoiler alert: this is the first in a month long run of him skirting, avoiding, and flagrantly violating the rules of the marathon Arthur set forth. And he starts of this violation with the second entry in Alan Pakula's paranoia trilogy, The Parallax View. We talk media, journalism, the 70s, and much, much more this week. Tune in now!
