Hello fiends and familiars! The GoodTrash gang is back to continue our summer of lists!

And trust us, the rules are up for interpretation. Dustin tries to keep us internationally relevant, but Dalton and Arthur keep it domestic. So, tune in now, and then let us know what you would use to teach the 1990s in film.
