TRASH IN THE CAN: THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE This week, we dive headfirst into a movie that’s so perfectly suited to our show we can’t believe it took us this long. Podcaster, artist, and actor John Gholson joins us to marvel at nightmare-fuel puppets, an alarming age gap romance, and state of the art […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE SPIDER LABYRINTH This week, the boys descend into the creepy crawly madness of 1988’s The Spider Labyrinth. Writer and critic Sarah Jane is game to discuss baby monsters, inadvertent slurs, and her own personal Hollywood Babylon. Join us for the worst spider related movie since Madame Web!   YOUR HOSTS […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ANGUISH This week, the boys descend into the eye-popping nightmare of 1987’s Anguish. Joined by One of Us podcaster Kate “Gate” Chambers, they unpack a horror movie so deeply obsessed with mothers, milk, and murder that Freud would’ve demanded a writing credit. Plus, there’s a twist so wild we can’t spoil […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: MICHAEL This week, the boys interrogate Michael (2026) like a chimp heavy episode of SVU. Joined by Trash alums Shira More, Nathan Flynn, and Chris Cox, they discuss the “white washing” of Michael Jackson’s life, the expectedly stellar soundtrack, and what might be career-worst performances across the board. Moonwalk, don’t run, […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN This week, the boys wade into a radioactive swamp as they tackle 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown. Joining them for the amphibious apocalypse is founder of the One of Us network, Chris Cox, who helps make sense of a world where fertility is currency, discovers the awful […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: STEEL MAGNOLIAS A year after our previous installment because we forgot we do mini-episodes, Trash on the Tube is back! We watched the TV series pilot sequel to the beloved movie/play that’s sweeter than Shelby’s juice, Steel Magnolias. Be sure to tune in again next year when we suddenly remember we […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RAMPAGE This week, the boys completely lose the plot (through no fault of their own) as they tackle 1997’s Rampage. Comedian Brendan K. O’Grady joins the chaos to help decipher a vigilante thriller where absolutely everyone mumbles, no location is ever established, and all murder investigations begin at Joe’s Crab Shack. […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: SUPERGIRL (1984) This week, the boys look to the skies (and immediately regret it) as they take on a baffling superhero misfire. Critic and One of Us contributor, Frank Calvillo, joins the boys to help make sense of horny witches, the world’s slowest car accident, and the wiggiest wigs that ever […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE GRINCH THAT STOLE BITCHES This week, the boys ruin Christmas with the help of a horny ex-con Grinch, drug dealing elves, and more ass shaking than a 2 Live Crew! Returning guest and podcaster, Caroline Sulek, helps us unwrap this trap house Dr. Seuss retelling that reminds us Tubi is […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE FOLLOWER This week, the boys dive into the bloody, ring-lit world of clout chasing with a very special guest, actual star of the movie, Stephanie Oustalet! It’s a tale of hashtags, hatchets, and the world’s smallest woman. Join us as we break down 2022’s The Follower, a movie where the […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL What do you get when you mix disco, Kiss, the Wicked Witch of the West, and a mountain of cocaine? The Paul Lynde Halloween Special! A variety show so baffling, it makes the Star Wars Holiday Special look restrained. Baylor Johnson joins us for a spooky […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? This week, the boys welcome Shira More of the Necromancer podcast for a cautionary tale about why you should never be roommates with Shelley Winters. Murder! Tap dancing! The world’s lowest wig line! All this and more as they watch 1971’s What’s The Matter With Helen? […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: JOURNEY TO HELL This week, the boys welcome filmmaker Christian Remde as they travel to a horrid place full of the most despicable characters imaginable! No, not the White House (ammirite?)! We go all the way to hell in this low budget “horror” movie that’s in such poor taste it could […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS This week on Trash in the Can, infamous Golden Globe “winning” Pia Zadora leads a cast of 30-year-old youngsters grooving to an ALMOST good musical score, with chainsaw-wielding maniacs and teen idol Ruth Gordon! Come for the Jermaine Jackson cameo, and stay for our thoughts on […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THEY CALL ME MACHO WOMAN This week the boys head to the woods for a tale of grief, empowerment, and John Fetterman wearing a unicorn strap-on. Fiber artist Tessa Morrison joins for Deliverance meets Death Wish, if both movies were shot over a long weekend and scored with a MIDI player. […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: CYBERNATOR What do you get when you take Bladerunner, add some Robocop, slash all but $7 from the budget, and throw in some remedial stripping? Find out as OneofUs.Net founder Chris Cox joins the boys for a raucous dicing of the inaudible sci-fi mess known as Cybernator!   YOUR HOSTS   […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ANGELS WITH ANGLES How did movies resurrect and exploit dead celebrities before Rogue One? Easy! Impressionists in Party City makeup and a budget so low the estate doesn’t bother to sue. Host of podcast Whatever Happened to Bette & Joan, Frank Calvillo, joins us for a bizarre vanity project about a […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: THE CONEHEADS Just in time to miss the SNL 50th Anniversary celebration, Trash on the Tube presents two animated SNL sitcoms that make you yearn for the nuanced humor of It’s Pat. Join us as we watch The Coneheads and The Blues Brothers Animated Series!   YOUR HOSTS   Wright Sulek […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: BLACKBIRD As fascism spreads across the globe, we look to the hero Dublin deserves, but not the one it needs right now. Or ever really. Lord of the Dance himself, Michael Flatley, whose acting can best be described by his last name, stars in this Bond pastiche he also wrote and […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RICH LITTLE’S ROBIN HOOD A holiday tradition continues and ends with today’s show. In 2022, we celebrated the season with Rich Little’s “star-studded” retelling of A Christmas Carol and we give it another go with Rich Little’s impression-laden Robin Hood. Is it festive? No. Is it fun? Try again. Did we […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ALIEN FROM L.A. This week, we see a film that blends Journey to the Center of the Earth, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Mario Brothers, and a Jane Fonda Workout. Sound fun? No? What’s wrong with you? Nathan Flynn joins us for Kathy Ireland’s acting debut as a baby-voiced moron in 1988’s Alien […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: DEMONS AT THE DOOR What do you get when you throw Satan, rubber puppets, a pug, and Richard Elfman into a blender? Nothing good! Guest Josh Santo helps the boys make sense of this Juggalo directed battle of good against evil. Crack open a bottle of Faygo and join us for […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE KISS Get ready to lose your head over an escalator! Alan Galinsky joins us for a movie that can’t decide if it’s about voodoo, parasites, or vaguely European lesbian incest. Come for the rubber cat puppet and stay for the most shocking “Recycling” segment we’ve ever had. We watched 1988’s […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR This week on Trash on the Tube, Master of Horror Wes Craven brings his most terrifying monster to the small screen – Jeffrey Jones! That’s right, noted character actor and pedophile stars as a cartoonist and “family man” whose imagination comes to life in this oddball sitcom […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: STEEL & LACE This week, guest Tessa Morrison returns for revenge served with a side of robotic boobs. Toxic bro culture gets what’s coming to it when the robot recreation of a sexual assault victim picks of her assailants one by one. It’s like Inspector Gadget, but with more penis mutilation! […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: TOXIC OBSESSION This week we go down under for another exercise in clueless ego. And no, we don’t mean the podcast! A tech industry wizard with the charisma of lawn clippings inexplicably finds himself in the middle of a fatal attraction scenario that leads him to almost raise his eyebrows. Join […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE SEDUCTION OF DR. FUGAZZI This week we dive into the work of an amateur auteur in the tradition of Tommy Wiseau, Deuandra T. Brown, and the Former United States Secretary of the Treasury’s wife. Frank Calvillo returns strictly to discuss Faye Dunaway dressed as Annie Hall, but sticks around for […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: TEQUILA AND BONETTI Is the only thing keeping you from watching Law and Order: SVU the lack of Mariska Hargitay interacting with a talking dog at a grisly crime scene? You’re in luck! This week, join us for a take on Turner and Hooch that adds a dash of racial stereotypes […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: MOSQUITO We kickoff the summer with camping, barbecues, and giant mutant mosquitoes! A cluess biologist, Leatherface, and Iggy Pop’s bassist team up for a rubber monster roulette. Chris Cox returns to Trash in the Can with 1994’s Mosquito!   YOUR HOSTS   Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE KILLER EYE It’s hard to describe this week’s movie, but it’s similar to the Tommy Bahama shirt Wright was wearing as we recorded. Painful to look at, confusing, and surprisingly sexual. Jarred Schiff joins us for a movie he brought with him, so don’t blame us. We watched the tentacle […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: COP ROCK This week, we watch a show that takes the gravity of Hill Street Blues and combines it with the pizazz of Glee. Does it work? Absolutely not! Is it a fun watch? Debatable! Join us for Steven Bochco’s musical misfire Cop Rock!   YOUR HOSTS   Wright Sulek (Screener […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RAISING HEROES A bear and a twink face off against the mob! Do we have your attention? Good because this movie couldn’t keep ours. Baylor Johnson returns for a deeply 90s indie flick that echoes early Tarantino, but with a Kevin Smith physique. We watched 1996’s Raising Heroes!   YOUR HOSTS […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ACTION USA This week’s movie is basically Lethal Weapon with a quarter of the budget and 100% more actual risk of death to the cast and crew. Austin Presley joins the boys to marvel at the always bloodshot eyes of our male lead, constantly hard nipples of our female lead, and […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: DADDY DEAREST This week, we continue our losing streak of watching shows too good for our show. The late Richard Lewis stars as the son of the very late Don Rickles in this dysfunctional family sitcom that works best when Rickles deviates from the script to say things we absolutely cannot […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ROBOT NINJA It’s Oscar season, so of course we celebrate the only way we know how – by watching a lost VHS “super” hero movie starring an incel comic book writer turned wimpy vigilante. Filmmaker Travis Patten returns to discuss how badly Boy Wonder Burt Ward must have needed the money. […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: DEATH RIDER IN THE HOUSE OF VAMPIRES Rocker Glenn Danzig returns to the director’s chair and brings us a vampire bordello movie so slow it can only be described as From Dusk Till Yawn. Guest Rhett O’Hara joins the boys for the world’s most boring shootout, roving accents, and not nearly […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: LAS VEGAS BLOODBATH Are you ready for goblin king sex, makeshift abortions, and a movie coming to a complete stop so the characters can watch oil wrestling on TV? You better be because these are about the only things that happen in this boring VHS atrocity. Anna Marie McBrayer aka horror […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: 704 HAUSER This week we look back on a footnote in the illustrious career of Norman Lear that’s still way too good for our show. Delight in the fully rounded characters, the sharp writing, and despair that The Big Bang Theory got 46 times more episodes. We watched 1994’s 704 Hauser! […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: ASSASSIN 33 A.D. Let’s pour one more out for Jesus the birthday boy as we ring in another year of trash! Samia Abu-Shawish joins the boys for middle eastern characters played exclusively by Mexican actors, a covert bible app commercial, and time traveling assassins looking to bust a cap in Jesus […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: FIGHT OF FURY What would a Bruce Lee movie be like with woodenly spoken Hallmark card dialogue and fight scenes choreographed by Estelle Getty? Co-host of the Double Toasted podcast, Martin Thomas, joins us for a lively discussion on public bathroom dubbing, UFC lookalikes, and the taste of breast milk. We […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: TWO OF A KIND This week, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John reunite for a romantic comedy with no romance or comedy. Gene Hackman as God, wisely going uncredited, gives four angels a week to prove humanity’s worth and prove Welcome to Mooseport wasn’t his worst movie. Frank Calvillo returns for edible […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: BILLY OWENS AND THE SECRET OF THE RUNES This week, we complete a magical journey that began all the way back on episode 88. Baylor Johnson returns for the (mercifully) final chapter of the Billy Owens saga. Marvel as Billy stoically mumbles confusing dialogue, thrill at the other kids doing the […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: THE MARTIN SHORT SHOW This week, we check out a TV series featuring Martin Short and Steve Martin decades before Hulu made you pay extra for no commercials. All-star comedy legends, SCTV alums behind the scenes, and Elizabeth Taylor’s dog come together for a show you’ve never heard of – The […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: FRIGHTMARE This week is the story of the death of an old queen and we don’t mean Elizabeth. Comedian Brendan K. O’Grady returns to once again to suffer through a movie he somehow hates less than Knives Out. Discount Vincent Price returns from the grave for revenge, Irish wake dancing, and […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: ON OUR OWN Did you like Mrs. Doubtfire but felt it needed 100% more parent death? Then join us for this drag-centric 90’s ABC sitcom whose premise was abandoned faster than its orphan stars. This week on Trash on the Tube, we watched On Our Own! YOUR HOSTS   Wright Sulek […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: CADE: THE TORTURED CROSSING Romantic! Suspenseful! Competent! None of these words could describe this week’s feature. Auteur and robot Neil Breen returns with another confusing, stock footage filled, visual dry-heave. Filmmaker Christian Remde joins the boys for an episode that is somehow longer than the movie and just as baffling. Let’s […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: SHRUNKEN HEADS Child murder, gender non-conforming villains, and mysterious voodoo rituals. No, it’s not the latest GOP talking points! It’s this week’s movie! Tessa Morrison returns to discuss a fantasy movie with the heart of a child and the mouth of a sailor. Join us for 1994’s Shrunken Heads!   YOUR […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: ALIENS IN THE FAMILY Join us for nightmarishly bulbous babies, a gooey James Van Der Beek, and maybe the saddest anecdote we’ve ever uncomfortably laughed at. Did we find a puppet show Eric doesn’t like? You’ll have to tune it to this week’s Trash on the Tube to find out! We […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: OUTRAGEOUS! We close out pride month with a struggling drag artist rooming with a pregnant schizophrenic, a phantom delusion called The Bonecrusher, and a roller skating nun! Sounds perfect for us, right? Wrong! Elisa Leichty joins us this week for a movie that is way too good for our show and […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: HEIL HONEY, I’M HOME This week, we test out pretty high limits for bad taste with a wacky 50s style sitcom starring the fuhrer himself and his love/hate relationship with his Jewish neighbors. Can you believe it was cancelled after one episode? Join us for a show we did NOT-SEE coming, […]
