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

Erin and Paul review two films set almost entirely within shopping malls: our trash pick is Kevin Smith's 1995 slacker favourite MALLRATS, and our art pick is Chantal Akerman's frothy 1986 musical GOLDEN EIGHTIES. Plus: our quick takes on THE DEER KING, PHOENIX RISING, SPIDERHEAD, and THE BLACK PHONE.
