Description
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.

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! Join us now as The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp hits the analysis table.
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. This week, we take a look at Powell and Pressburger's I Know Where I'm Going. This slapstick romance takes us on location for some fun and adventure, but does it have anything going on when the wind settles? 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. This year, our annual good movie marathon is focused on a dynamic directing duo: The Archers. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger made more than 20 films together and are two of the most notable filmmaking voices in British Cinema. So, this month we begin looking through their filmography. 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.
Hello friends, fiends, and everyone in between! Another year has come to an end, and we are back to recap the year in GoodTrash. That's right, it is our self-congratulatory hour of power. We look back on the movies we watched for the show and hand out awards, such as the Hebrew Hammer and Best Worst Movie. Finally, we discuss the movies that made it onto the platinum shelf. Thanks again for another wonderful year!
Welcome back blockheads! Our look back at some of the highest grossing films of 2025 comes to an end with the domestic box office king (as of our recording), A Minecraft Movie.

We talk all about creativity, meta narratives, Jack Black, who movies are for, and much more as we craft an analysis of A Minecraft Movie. Tune in now!
In the second of his video-turned-audio experiments, Arthur checks in with his review of Bradley Cooper's third feature film, Is This Thing On? The domestic drama starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern lands in the midst of awards season, but does it earn an ovation or is it a bomb? Arthur shares his quick thoughts on the film, the cast, Cooper, and recommends whether or not it is worth your time. Tune in now!
Arthur is back with something of an experiment. In creating some video projects for a class, he decided to repurpose the audio for the Garbage Chute. This episode is a review of the now streaming Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Benoit Blanc is back for another perplexing puzzle, but does it warrant you watching? Arthur drops his verdict on this special episode of the Garbage Chute. Tune in now!
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 all! Following Dustin's cheat-o-thon, we're back to our regularly schedule business. And this month, instead of year-end catch-ups, we are taking a look at the THREE highest domestic grossing films of the year (as of this recording [in early November]). To kick things off, we are joined by filmmaker, friend of the show, rambling lunatic, and all around good dude, "Sick" Nick Sanford to talk James Gunn's Superman.

Ahoy dancing queens! Dustin brings the S.S. Cheat-afore into dock with the feel good movie of 1969 (nice), They Shoot Horses, Don't They? And gosh, don't they indeed. We look back at the hard to find work from Sydney Pollack. Thanks to a popular online video website, we were able to watch the film. We talk about power structures, exploitative entertainment, physical media, and much, much more! Come aboard as we bring They Shoot Horses, Don't They? to the analysis table!
Howdy y'all! The Dustin cheat-a-thon rolls on with an Altman banger? Classic? Masterwork? Maybe. It's Nashville. This epic ensemble escapade brings us to our knees in awe. We discuss Altman's improvisational style, the films technological prowess, dat ensemble, and much, much more as Nashville arrives on the analysis table. Tune in now!
Hello GoodTrashers! Dustin continues to fly the plan this week with absolutely no regard for what is being asked of him. His mystery marathon continues with a pick from the actor's director, John Cassavetes. This week, we take a look at the director's neo-noir (maybe) The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. We discuss style, Cassavetes, the New Hollywood, and much, much more in this week's episode—we also breakout the 1-star reviews of shame! Join us now for a GoodTrash time!
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!

We're back down the Garbage Chute this week with not one, but TWO new releases that we've stitched together in a monstrous review.
