This week on Remainders, we watch the 2009 movie Trash Humpers. A piece of post-cinema and experimental insanity by Harmony Korine (Gummo, Spring Breakers), Trash Humpers is a practice in hedonistic voyeurism, found-footage VHS, elder depravity, and plenty of garbage. A movie that questions what even is a movie, it’s another great example of Korine’s exploration into erratic places in film.
Other topics include praise for Andor and defending the Star Wars prequels, Lord of the Rings as Christmas movies, streaming woes, The Holdovers and Alexander Payne, visiting the Music Box Theatre, Plain White T’s and TLB in Chicago, and Darren on the To the Bottom podcast.
