Shocktober 11: Shock from the Book of Shocks continues this week fiends and familiars as we move into another classic horror franchise. This week we say his name and talk about Nia DaCosta's 2021 take on Candyman. This legacy-sequel picks up in a renovated Cabrini-Green giving us ample material to parse through. We're talking gentrification, art and messages, on the nose criticism, and much, much more as we sink our hooks into this one. Let's just hope we don't get stung.  TIMESTAMPS 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 05:18 - Quick Candyman Reviews 23:50 - Expanding the Syllabus 38:35 - Analysis 1:05:57 - Shelf or Trash 1:08:46 - Wrap Up and Next Week's Film

As our ten year celebration keeps rolling, we head back to 1997 when Will Smith was at the height of his powers to talk Men in Black.

Hello pals, and welcome back to the GenreCast! It's been 10 years of serving up trash, and we're (mostly) celebrating all month long with the movies we've talked about the most without ever having done on the show. But first, we're going full circle back to John Carpenter, who we discussed way back on episode one, as we discuss Escape from New York. The dystopian action adventure starring Kurt Russel is an iconic entry in both men's filmography, but how does it hold up in 2022? We talk John Carpenter as auteur, men as islands, action stars, and much, much more as we unpack Escape from New York and celebrate 10 Years of Trash!

Welcome to the Grid dear listeners! This week, we've tapped into one of the original Legacy-sequels (we know that because Legacy is in the name), Tron: Legacy. The odd sci-fi project from Disney's 80s run makes a comeback in the era of the MCU and throws down the Daft Punk funk to make things interesting. But how has it aged? We talk about that, plus the users vs the programs, de-aging technology, the legacy of Tron: Legacy, and much more on this episode of the GenreCast. Join us now!

Ahoy listeners! We're kicked back on the beach this week with the Daniels feature debut Swiss Army Man. This quirky indie dramedy stars Paul Dano as Hank and Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse named Manny. The Daniels have had a stellar 2022 thanks to their massive hit Everything Everywhere All at Once. This week, we dissect the smaller, yet just as intimate and referential, Swiss Army Man. We talk body humor, physical performances, the thesis that "women were more special before the internet", and Arthur increases his vocabulary. Tune in now to hear our thoughts, and then let us know what you think about this one.

Hi all! We've got another one coming hot and fresh down the chute. This week, all three of the GoodTrash Bois are gathered around the table to talk about the newest entry in the Predator franchise, Prey. This action, sci-fi horror entry dropped on Hulu to massive success. But a hot take in our group chat brought us all together to break down what we liked and disliked about it. Check it out!  We do get into some spoiler conversations towards the end, so keep your ears open for that spoiler warning. 

Hello dear friends! Summer is in full effect and one of our Patreon partners has taken hostage at the lake. The Crystal Lake that is.

So this week, we grab our hockey masks and head to camp one last time (lol) as we watch The Final Friday: Jason Goes to Hell. This 1993 entry in the franchise was supposed to be the end (again), but we all know how that story ended. We talk the meta horror components of this entry, gender politics in the slasher film, sequels, franchises, and Jason Voorhees. So, click that play button and join us for a scream of a time.

This week, we travel down the Amazon in search of bad accents as we discuss Anaconda. The late 90s creature feature is stocked with a top notch ensemble of newcomers and a high profile veteran. But, does it keep us in its grips? We talk about colonialism, mid-90s CGI, Jon Voigt, and much, much more!
