    Hello to our devoted fans! You may be wondering why we haven't posted a new episode over the past few months. Were the trashy movies too much for us to handle? Has the mob finally found us? Did Wright ever figure out who the hell Phyllis Diller is? Most of these things did happen BUT we did, though, join a new podcast network. The lovely people over at OneofUs.net led by Chris Cox has taken us under their wing. Please find us on the  OneofUs.net website or please listen to us on Spotify moving forward under Highly Suspect Reviews! You'll find not only our show but numerous other movie reviews and awesome shows put on by the One of Us crew! Thank you so much for listening to us over the years on this feed and we look forward to delivering the same great content along with the same trashy movies.

    Ep 77 - Robowoman

    Join the boys and guest Rhett O'Hara for facelifts galore, Party City wigs, and a bionic woman played by the corpse of Dolly Parton. They watched 2019's Robowoman and it's honestly the scariest thing they've seen this Halloween.

  3. 75

    Ep 76 - Mausoleum

    We kick off spooky season on Trash in the Can with a boob-heavy demonic possession movie financed by the Columbo crime family! Join Caroline Sulek and the boys for barking breasts, Italian belly buttons, and the sloppiest kisses this side of a church camp sleepover. We watched 1983's "video nasty," The Mausoleum.

  4. 74

    Ep 75 - The Pretender

    This week, it's an evangelical 'She's All That' with a cast of 40 year olds! Join guest Travis Patten and the boys as they explore the pastel filled, Pizza Inn sponsored, and surprisingly horny world of 1987's Christian propaganda classic, The Pretender.

  5. 73

    Ep 74 - Evilspeak

    This week, Bull from Night Court possesses a computer so the ugliest member of the Howard family can take revenge on the neighbor from 'That 70s Show'. Join Casey Barnett and the boys to discuss a janitor's magic trick worthy of Jeffrey Epstein, gratuitous shower pig nudity, and worst of all, Clint Howard's hair. They watched 1981's Evilspeak!

  6. 72

    Ep 73 - Loqueesha

    Imagine Mrs. Doubtfire crossed with Amos and Andy. Upset? You should be! On a "very special episode" of Trash in the Can, guest Samia Abu-Shawish and the boys navigate a world where people listen to the radio, where jokes don't to be funny, and where the only thing standing between you and success is cultural appropriation. We watched the Rachel Dolezal of movies, 2019's Loqueesha.

  7. 71

    Ep 72 - Radical Jack

    This week, Miley Cyrus's dad and Michelle Pfeiffer's sister deliver gratuitous mullets, 15MPH car chases, and the world's deadliest Halloween party. Travis Patten joins the boys for their most achey breaky episode yet. Join them for the redneck spy thriller, Radical Jack!

  8. 70

    Ep 71 - The Amusement Park

    The father of the modern zombie movie once collaborated with The Lutheran Society on a story that examines the systematic disenfranchisement of the elderly in America. Does that sound interesting? Well, it's not! The boys fly solo this week and have some hot takes sure to piss off a lot of men in baggy black t-shirts. Does that sound fun? Well, it is! We watched George A. Romero's lost movie, The Amusement Park.

  9. 69

    Ep 70 - Spookies

    Special Hungover Edition! Guest Matt Ryan joins the boys for a movie so baffling the episode turns into a 'Mad About You' and 'Roseanne' recap podcast! Middle-aged teens, monsters that fart, and more in 1986's Spookies.

  10. 68

    Ep 69 - Me You Madness

    Imagine American Psycho without the social commentary but 100% more dance fighting. Join the boys and guest Baylor Johnson for a Trump adjacent vanity project featuring spider eating, the world's most boring three-way, and a very unstable British accent. We watched 2021's Me You Madness and are worse people for it. 

  11. 67

    Ep 68 - The Manitou

    Do you like bad Tony Curtis impersonations, Native American possessed goiters, and bombastic laser lightshows? Well you're in luck! This week, the boys are joined by Travis Patten to discuss 1978's The Manitou starring Tony Curtis, Michael Ansara, and Susan Strasberg. 

  12. 66

    Ep 67 - Walking the Halls

    This week we return to the well of Lifetime movies for another helping of teenage sex workers, crumbling marriages, and overly complicated murders. Join guest Amanda Schiff and the boys for 2012's Walking the Halls.

  13. 65

    Ep 66 - Night of the Demon

    It's Harry and the Hendersons meets Deliverance. And yes, that means what you think it does. Join guest, Jeremiah Lerma, and the boys for sleeping bag shot put, knocking when the van is rocking, and a very firm Sasquatch handjob in 1983's Night of the Demon.

  14. 64

    Ep 65 - Sugar Daddies

    Scathing condemnation of the education industrial complex or horny Lifetime movie where a rich old guy likes to get choked by college girls? Join the boys and guest, Samia Abu-Shawish, as they explore the world of crippling student load debt, generational poverty, and rim jobs in this week's movie, Sugar Daddies.

  15. 63

    Ep 64 - Sleepwalking in Suburbia

    One word: Sexsomnia. This week, Lifetime lays on the melodrama with a "came with the frame" cast of generic white people caught up in betrayal, murder, open concept offices, and robotic sleep intercourse. Guest Rhett O'Hara returns for the "erotic" "thriller", Sleepwalking in Suburbia.

  16. 62

    Ep 63 - Humongous

    Did we find a monster movie whose most upsetting scene has nothing to do with the monster and everything to do with Bill Cosby? You bet we did! We're joined by guest, Jarred Schiff, for a movie offensive to women, the disabled, dog owners, and anyone who has ever been to a restaurant assuming there isn't a wart in their drink. We watched 1982's canuxploitation classic, Humongous.

  17. 61

    Ep 62 - Santa with Muscles

    Nothing says Christmas quite like amnesiac millionaire bodybuilders, farting henchmen, and sex tape sushi. Join the boys and guest, Tessa Morrison, for a debate on whether or not Hulk Hogan is handsome in 1996's Santa with Muscles. Merry Happy, all!

  18. 60

    Ep 61 - The Willies

    Come for the toilet monsters, dead fly dioramas, boob swamps, adult-child Sean Astins, and stay for the director that shares something with Woody Allen. Here's a hint - it isn't his filmmaking talent. Returning guest Brendan K. O'Grady joins us for 1990's horror anthology, The Willies.

  19. 59

    Ep 60 - Double Daddy

    This week, the problems of rich, white people are finally highlighted. Special guest, Samia Abu-Shawish, joins us for a Lifetime original movie featuring actors that can't cry, pregnant knife fights, and a guy with the world's worst pull-out game. We watched 2015's tale of teen pregnancy and how terrible poor people are, Double Daddy.

  20. 58

    Ep 59 - Verotika

    Does Limp Bizkit contain a better movie director than The Misfits? Heavy metal icon and totally inept filmmaker, Glenn Danzig, writes, directs, and bungles a movie so shoddily made he manages to make gratuitous nudity boring. Join guest, Rhett O'Hara, and the boys for French "accents", eye nipples, and a woke Leatherface in 2019's, Verotika!

  21. 57

    Ep 58 - Xtro

    Deadbeat dads, raw egg eating, a fully grown man crawling out of a woman, and the ugliest cast this side of a John Waters film all add up to create a movie that can be described as "gross" and "fine, I guess." Join returning guest, Liz Rische, and the boys as they watch 1982's British sci-fi horror, Xtro.

  22. 56

    Ep 56 - Riding the Bus with My Sister

    On a very special episode of Trash in the Can, we explore sisterhood, representation of the disabled in media, and whether this movie really happened or if it's just a problematic fever dream. Rosie O'Donnell stars as a developmentally disabled woman that loves Tweety Bird and we handle it with the sensitivity you've come to expect from us. Join us with returning guest and sister, Caroline Sulek, as we watch Hallmark Movie of the Week, Riding the Bus with My Sister.

  23. 55

    Ep 55 - A Gnome Named Gnorm

    This week, guest Rhett O'Hara joins the boys for a raunchy, gooch-stabbing family adventure with a screaming Anthony Michael Hall, a horny ass-eating gnome, and Jerry Orbach wearing the hell out of a trench coat. Watch 1990's A Gnome Named Gnorm and see why special effects legend Stan Winston never directed another movie.

  24. 54

    Ep 54 - Demonwarp

    Join the boys with guest Elisa Leichty for Bigfoot werewolves, a non-union zombie workforce, alien crabs, and the most evil thing of all, a priest. No, it's not the latest season of American Horror Story, it's 1988's kitchen sink horror Demonwarp.

  25. 53

    Ep 53 - The Mutilator

    Fall comes early this year as Tessa Morrison returns to the show for matricide, picture perfect vehicular homicide, a surefire herpes cure, and topless podcasting. Join us for 1984's Fall Break aka The Mutilator.

  26. 52

    Ep 52 - The Beast in Heat

    Italian Nazis create a mutant sex fiend in order to...well, not really sure. No, it's not the latest in 2020 news. This is 1977's exercise in poor taste, The Beast in Heat. Join the boys and guest Caroline Sulek for buttock skin tags, baby skeet shooting, milky slobbers, and some stuff we don't think we are allowed to say!

  27. 51

    Ep 51 - Baffled!

    What says charisma, machismo, and sexual magnetism more than Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy? Literally anything! Be bored! Be indifferent! Be baffled! Comedian Brendan K. O'Grady returns for a race car driving psychic, the wonder of becoming a woman, and unnecessary exclamation points in 1973's Baffled!

  28. 50

    Ep 50 - Flesh Eating Mothers

    Here's to all you mothers out there! Wright's sister, Caroline Sulek, returns this week for a celebration of motherhood with sexually transmitted cannibalism, a teenage girl Toby Jones, and the world's smallest medical examiner! We watched 1988's Flesh Eating Mothers.

  29. 49

    Ep 49 - The Fanatic

    A few names come to mind when you think of great cinema - Hitchcock, Scorsese, Durst. We attempted our first quarantine episode and it could be our last. This week we watched 2019's The Fanatic starring an elderly Joe Exotic lookalike, John Travolta. We spar over mental handicaps, Scientology related deaths, and the classic rock band - Limp Bizkit.

  30. 48

    Ep 48 - R.O.T.O.R.

    Two words - SHOULDER PADS. Friend of the show, Tessa Morrison, brings us this Robocop-on-a-dime starring coffee drinking horses, candy corn, and the most offensive Native American portrayal since F Troop (Google it). We watched 1987's R.O.T.O.R.!

  31. 47

    Ep 47 - 1313: Haunted Frat

    Do you wish porn would cut out all that sex to concentrate on the terrible dialogue and wooden delivery? Chance Ellis joins us this week for tighty whities (whitey tighties?), soapless showering, and absolutely nothing else. We watched 1313: Haunted Frat and cannot stress enough that you shouldn't.

  32. 46

    Ep 46 - Twisted Pair

    Who am I? What am I? Prepare to not only have those questions not answered, but have even more when it's over. Watch how far one middle aged David Brenner impersonator's vanity and real estate money can go! Returning guest Caroline Sulek joins the boys for artificial intelligence, scotch tape mustaches, and voice modulation in Neil Breen's Twisted Pair.

  33. 45

    Ep 45 - Microwave Massacre

    The original voice of Frosty the Snowman has intercourse with and eats various sex workers using his microwave. Yeah, this one is pretty problematic even by our low standards. Join guest Amanda Schiff for plastic crab sandwiches, comatose line readings, and a lady slathered with mayonnaise in 1983's Microwave Massacre!

  34. 44

    Ep 44 - The Initiation

    Middle aged coeds, unearned twists, and a nude Clu Gulager. Don't get too excited, though, it's pretty boring! Join the boys and returning guest Ashley Alkek as they explore 1984's The Initiation.

  35. 43

    Ep 43 - The Church

    Join us for sexy goat-headed demons, "Sussudio" era Phil Collins, and traditional Italian jailbait. This week the boys and special guest Casey Barnett tune into a catholic mass that's actually fun, 1989's The Church!

  36. 42

    Ep 42 - Ax 'Em

    Join the boys and returning guest, Matt Ryan, for the most incomprehensible movie they've done yet! Meet characters whose names you never learn, watch them eat full meals in real time, and learn the history of African American horror cinema from 3 (mostly) white guys. They watched 1992's horror/comedy (?) "Ax 'Em".

  37. 41

    Ep 41 - Ziggy's Gift

    Spend Christmas with the only comic strip character to make Family Circus look like The Aristocrats (ask your parents). Samia Abu-Shawish returns for the kind of holiday cheer that only a small, mute virgin can provide. We watched 1982's animated non-classic, Ziggy's Gift.

  38. 40

    Ep 40 - The Fan

    Comedian Brendan K. O'Grady joins the boys for screen legend Lauren Bacall's comeback vehicle, 1981's The Fan. They'll talk flat notes, black Hitler, and Wright's confirmed heterosexuality. *Note - The deepest voice featured in this episode is Lauren Bacall.

  39. 39

    Ep 39 - The Funhouse

    It's our special too-late-for-Halloween-horror-spectacular! Join returning guest Tessa Morrison for matronly peep shows, osha violations, and monster handjobs in the movie Tobe Hooper turned down E.T. to make, 1981's The Funhouse!

  40. 38

    Ep 38 - Uninvited

    This week on Trash in the Can, the boys are joined by returning guest, writer, and Eric's weary spouse, Kat Samaniego. They subject themselves to hot tub drowning, infectious feline bites, and a throbbing George Kennedy in the worst non-musical cat centered production, 1988's Uninvited!

  41. 37

    Ep 37 - Tabernacle 101

    This week we visit Australia - land of sexually charged family camping, nu metal, and filling guinea pigs with Windex. Old "favorite" Rhett O'Hara returns to discuss the show's most recent monstrosity to date. Listen as we watch 2019's Australian supernatural thriller, Tabernacle 101. Also, to increase clicks #LIZZO

  43. 35

    Ep 35 - Blood Rage

    "That's not cranberry sauce." The Holidays come early this year with a Thanksgiving slasher flick so good it was shelved for 4 years. Make-up artist and returning guest, Liz Rische, joins the boys to discuss Louis Lasser, the necessity of lingerie, and traditional Thanksgiving incest! Let's watch 1987's Blood Rage!

  44. 34

    Ep 34 - The Return of Captain Invincible

    Picture a Marvel movie with better actors and worse dialogue. Throw in some second rate Rocky Horror Show musical numbers, and you've got a pretty good idea of this week's Australian superhero rock musical, The Return of Captain Invincible. The boys and returning guest, Matt Ryan, discuss Alan Arkin's wig, Christopher Lee's metal album, and edging. Fun for the whole family on this week's Trash in the Can!

  45. 33

    Ep 33 - Day of the Dolphin

    Academy Award winner Mike Nichols directs a script written by Academy Award nominee Buck Henry, where Academy Award refuser George C. Scott teaches dolphins to speak and possibly kill the president. Yes, this is a real movie! Join the boys and returning guest, Travis Patten, where they discuss the better than it has any right to be, Day of the Dolphin.

  46. 32

    Ep 32 - Teen Alien

    Imagine an episode where the movie is so boring we don't even talk about it and we can't remember enough about it to write a summary for the episode. Imagine no more and enjoy our loosest episode to date. We hope you like stories about Terry Gross and Gene Simmons. We think. Join us and third stooge, Rhett O'Hara, for 1978's Teen Alien!

  47. 31

    Ep 31 - Tammy and the T-Rex

    Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's transplants Paul Walker's brain into an animatronic dinosaur. Also, Denise Richards is there. You know, the usual. Join the boys and Baylor Johnson as they learn the easiest way to win a fight with 1994's Tammy and the T-Rex.

  48. 30

    Ep 30 - Spellcaster

    An extremely well lit spooky castle, interchangeable blonde women, pig men, and Adam Ant all add up to a movie so good it was shelved for 4 years. This week we watch 1988's (and 1992's) Spellcaster with guest Travis Patten!

  49. 29

    Ep 29 - Hi-Tops

    Is there anything the Lord can't do? Inspire a decent musical, apparently (sorry, Jesus Christ Superstar fans).
