Basic Instinct (1992)

Hello fiends and familiars! We have moved on this month to once again start a new marathon, and we take it back all the way to year one with a rehash of one of our first marathons, Neo-Noirvember. This month, we kick things off with a little erotic thriller from the one and only Paul Verhoeven, Basic Instinct. It is the rise of Sharon Stone and the continued run of Michael Douglas. We bring the classic thriller to the analysis table and take it apart with our trusty ice pick. So, tune in now if you will to hear our discussion of 1992's Basic Instinct as the neon kicks in and the fog rolls through. 

Welcome back once again campers as we bring Schlocktober to an end. This week, we find ourselves stuck at camp discussing a true oddity, Sleepaway Camp. Another film whose reputation precedes it, Sleepaway Camp offers plenty to discuss. But, we can't really get into it here; it is kind of a surprise. So, join us, fellow campers, as we gather around the analysis fire to open up Sleepaway Camp. 

Hey hey film fiends! Schlocktober is back and rolling on along with a much quirkier entry. This week, we are visited by creatures from another planet as we discuss Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This beloved classic might be the biggest title we have covered all month, but does it have anything going on beneath the cotton candy covered surface? Tune in and find out as we bring Killer Klowns from Outer Space to the analysis table. 

Grab your power drills and your other assorted phallic symbols! We're back this week to keep Schlocktober moving right along with a look at The Slumber Party Massacre. This exploitative classic carries a certain reputation. But is it warranted? We open it up to discuss the patriarchy, the male gaze, subversion, and much, much more. Grab your sleeping bags, and join us as we bring The Slumber Party Massacre to the analysis table. 

We're back fiends and familiars! This week, Schlocktober moves right along into the food court from the pavilion. That's right, we are talking hubs of commercial gathering as we discuss Chopping Mall. Oft mentioned by a dear friend of the show, we finally get this one to the table. Does it have much to say about 80s consumerism? Or will it short out before it gets good? Tune in to find out as we bring Chopping Mall to the analysis table!

Hello ghouls and goblins! It is once again that time of the year, the pumpkins are out and the candles are lit—this time, though, the pumpkin was discounted and the candles were on clearance, because it is time for Schlocktober. That's right! It's nothing but B movies (C movies, D movies, etc.). We're celebrating those cult classics all month long. And we kick things off with Larry Cohen's The Stuff. Does it have a long shelf life or is rancid out of the box? We find out as we bring The Stuff to the analysis table. 

Order! Order! The GoodTrash GenreCast is now in its final session for the Moving On marathon. That's right, the train is in the depot as we discuss our final afterlife story. This week, we're looking back at Albert Brooks' cult classic, Defending Your Life. It is Brooks, and it is Streep. Does it have anything to say? Does it know what it is trying to say? How is it handling comedy? We discuss all of that as we bring Defending Your Life into the court of analysis. Tune in now!

Hey! Fiends and familiars, we are gathered here today to discuss the ghost with the most. That's right, the Moving On marathon takes us back to Tim Burton and a movie that, shockingly, has never made it to our analysis table, Beetlejuice. The Michael Keaton classic is a force unto itself. But, is there anything going on under the hood or is it a bunch of red tape? Grab a number, take a seat, and join us as we welcome Beetlejuice to the analysis table. Listen now!

Helloooo dear listeners! We are back with more smooth podcasting sounds for your listening pleasure. Our Moving On marathon finds itself continuing towards the Great Beyond. This week, its the animated afterlife we're after as we take a look at the Covid-Era Pixar release, Soul. This jazz odyssey through the afterlife sparked a number of conversations, many of which we attempt to engage here. We talk Pixar, magical minorities, body swapping, and much, much more as we bring Pete Docter's Soul to the analysis table. Join us now! 

Hello fiends and familiars! The Oops All Marathon Year takes us shuffling off this mortal coil and into the afterlife. We start a new marathon simply called, Moving On. We kick things off this week with a bit of a swing from 1998 entitled What Dreams May Come. This film sits as another in Robin William's run as a more "serious" actor. But, has time been kind or is it all style with no substance? We break down What Dreams May Come as we deliver it to the analysis table. Tune in now to hear our discussion on a third Robin movie for the year!
