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.

  • Why so political

    I really enjoy this podcast, but my political opinion is not the exactly the same as theirs, even though they are similar I feel like they make it seem as though anyone with a slightly different political view is stupid. I am just so tired of having someone’s political views shoved down my throat all the time. Besides that I do really enjoy the podcast and there is a lot of great information.

  • This show makes movies even better.

    I'm a pretty big fan of movies but honestly had gotten bored with review shows. Fortunately I discovered GTGC, which instead provides wonderful analysis accompanied by wit from a myriad of hosts and sometimes singing (which is good and not bad). If you are looking for something outside the norm of movie podcasts, give Good Trash a listen. You won't be disappointed or your money back.
