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

Paul and Erin wade through another stack of new releases, including Guy Maddin's RUMOURS, the Sebastian Stan starrers THE APPRENTICE and A DIFFERENT MAN, Anna Kendricks' feminist true-crime thriller WOMAN OF THE HOUR, the time-bending indie MY OLD ASS and the Indian revenge thriller JIGRA. Plus: we revisit THE COMMITMENTS, SAVE THE GREEN PLANET, AMERICAN HOT WAX and COFFEE AND CIGARETTES.


Erin and Paul review two films about low-class media provocateurs who become unlikely free-speech champions: Milos Forman's 1996 porn-king biopic THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, and Betty Thomas' 1997 retelling of the legend of Howard Stern, PRIVATE PARTS.

Paul & Erin round up another batch of new releases, including Jason Reitman's behind-the-scenes ensemble comedy SATURDAY NIGHT, Francis Ford Coppola's sci-fi folly MEGALOPOLIS, the animated tearjerker THE WILD ROBOT, the documentary heartwarmer WILL & HARPER, Azazel Jacobs' family drama HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, and the Rachel Sennott comedy/drama I USED TO BE FUNNY. Plus, we look back at Brian De Palma's THE FURY, Oliver Stone's TALK RADIO and the two-fisted 1972 B-movie FEAR IS THE KEY.


Paul and Erin review two films about rulers being replaced by exact lookalikes: Akira Kurosawa's 1980 epic KAGEMUSHA, and Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 comedy DAVE.
