Hello friends and fiends! Dalton is here to put his final darling down, and its kind of a doozy. This week, we bring the Academy Award Best Picture winner American Beauty to the altar for analysis. Sam Mendes' massive hit was a sign of the times, but how has it aged? We talk milieu, the turn of the millennium, Kevin Spacey, and much, much more as we break down American Beauty.

Welcome back ladies and gents to a dangerous episode. Dalton continues to Kill His Darlings in the most violent way possible — by taking them to Basin City. That's right, Dalton's third pick, and something of a cheat, is a trip to Frank Miller's Sin City. The anthology of gritty black-and-white tales called out to a young teen Dalton, but they might have aged like milk. We talk Miller, misogyny, and much, much more as we enter the city limits of Sin City. Did we miss a take? Let us know by emailing goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com, and remember to subscribe to keep up with Dalton's sacrificial journey next week.

Hello cadets, we are back for another judgment decision as Dalton presents his next Darling to be decided. For this episode, we take a look at the 2000 sci-fi animated action story, Titan AE. With a strong voice cast and a veteran animated filmmaker at the helm, Titan AE had elements of becoming an animated classic. But, that is not quite what panned out. This week, we discuss animation, developmental hell, and much, much more as Dalton continues to Kill His Darlings while we bring Titan AE to the analysis table. Tune in now to hear our conversation!

We've come back, once again, to this place for magic...and sacrifice. That's right, Dalton has now been tasked with Killing His Darlings. To do so, he takes us first back to 1994 in an effort to re-evaluate the mixed media adventure, The Pagemaster. Following the success of two Home Alone films, Macaulay Culkin teams up with a crew of well-voiced books in order to find his way back to home and his live action body. We look back at a time of important literacy propaganda as we bring this one to the analysis table. Join us for our conversation covering The Pagemaster. Let us know what you think goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com.

Hello everyone and welcome back! We all have main character energy this week as we wrap up our Summer of Lists with Our Top 10 Cinematic Heroes! That's right, protagonists, good guys, men in tights, sweeping capes, tough dames—we have got it all folks! But, importantly, did we miss anyone? Please let us know and drop an email to goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com. We had a lot of fun on this Summer of Lists, but next week, it's back to the altar as Dalton is now tasked with killing his darlings. So subscribe and tune in next week as we kick off another new marathon!
