Trash, Art, And The Movies
The podcast that pits arthouse cinema against brainless entertainment—and then declares a victor.

Paul and Heather review two of the most highly acclaimed films of 2011: Kelly Reichardt's feminist revisionist Western MEEK'S CUTOFF, and Abbas Kiarostami's enigmatic two-hander CERTIFIED COPY. Also: Heather relays her reactions to X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and revisits Philip Kaufman's isn't-it-time-we-declared-this-one-a-classic 1978 remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, while Paul reports on Jason Zinoman's new book SHOCK VALUE, about the game-changing American horror films of the 1970s and the men who created them. Plus our usual roundup of the week's other most notable new DVDs and Blu-Rays.
