Today's comedies usually have me sitting and staring at the screen with a straight face waiting for something funny to happen. With this film however, I laughed or smiled ear to ear the whole time. I bought the movie blindly based on some post I saw on a social network site, the person that posted it was raving and saying it's up there with Paul Bartel and John Waters stuff. This I had to judge for myself and I was not let down in the least bit, but highly entertained by an energetic script and cast that didn't miss a beat. The ball never dropped once. I'm sure you can read the synopsis elsewhere so I won't bother but bravo to the filmmakers and cast here! See this 100% unique movie!

Plot summary
College student Tracy (Laura Lee Black) has just received an assignment to write a report on her favorite film genre. In her research she discovers a book, now Tracy is taken into three interlocking tales of the unexpected. First in THE VAT, two women (Jenny Coulter / Rodney Horn) are harassed by a religious fanatic (Angie Keeling) about their worldly ways. When the bible thumping hypocrite threatens violence, chaos takes it's toll. Next in BIG DEBBIE, a robust woman (Rodney Horn) is abandoned at the altar, she runs into two guys that use her to fulfill their odd sexual fetish. When one accidentally dies, they're forced to get rid of the body... the only problem: a woman on the edge (Rachel Stout) witnesses the ditching and blackmails them into killing her cheating girlfriend (Kelli Ellis). Finally in INGLOURIOUS BITCHES, a quirky pair of female vigilantes (Douglas Conner / Brian Dorton) use an app on a cellphone to track down and murder sex offenders.

Trashology Review
5 Out of 5
"Trashology...it's a raunchy funny good time loaded with perversity...a guilty pleasure for sure!" Char Hardin
This is the funniest, raunchiest most perverse good time, I have seen in a very long time. When it says Trashology is a tribute film to the man who gave us Hairspray and Pink Flamingos...Mr. John Waters, it isn't making a false claim. IT is what it says it is and so much more. Another reviewer has said that "John Waters would be proud" and yet another said it is a "Love letter to John Waters", these are not false statements to build hype...TRASHOLOGY is the MOTHER OF ALL TRIBUTE FILMS to the ideals and wicked sense of humor of Waters.
What is it? May Contains Spoilers...but not detailed spoilers.
Tracy (Laura Lee Black) is taking a collegiate class on film making and has received an assignment to do a report on her favorite genre. Her friend wants to do Horror, but Tracy has stumbled upon a book called "Trashology" and she is thinking about "Trash Cinema". The book consists of three interlocking tales that make up the book. Each one is loaded with hysterics and starts off with "The Vat".
"The Vat" is about old woman named Beatrice whose husband had dug a hole in the back yard for the leftover oatmeal his wife was known to make more than needed. Beatrice for years has thrown leftovers into the vat. One afternoon during a living visit with friends Laura and Claudia, something goes wrong and one of the women ends up dead and tossed into the vat.
Rodney Horn as Big Debbie and Douglas Conner as George The second story is "Big Debbie" who is the daughter of Laura mentioned in the first story. Debbie has been left at the altar on her wedding day. She has a chance encounter that leads to accidentally "squashing" a man to death and black mail.
The third story "Inglourious Bitches" about Katrina and Melissa two girlfriends fed up with the injustice of pedophiles being released back into society after a hand slapping from the courts. A unique phone app leads to the girls own brand of justice as the bodies start to pile up. I love where the girls end up by the close of their story.
Tracy has her own demons and the creative way to man's heart is always through his stomach. Let me just say...you thought Minnie Jackson's chocolate pie in the southern drama, 'The Help' was something else...wait until you get a taste of Tracy's chocolate pie!
As soon as Trashology is released on DVD, I cannot urge you enough to rush out and buy it. For an Independent made comedy film, it is the best of its kind I have ever come across. It has a little bit of everything to make you gag and gasp for breath whether the use of a scent, devise, smothering or just walking in on a one legged woman having sex with a sex offender. It is a total shock n' awe film, that may not be for anyone offended by men dressed as women with huge boobs, oh and if talking about lesbian sex over ice cream offends you, then forget watching the making of the secret ingredient to Claudia's casserole, you won't be able to handle it. However, if you think you can handle with this unique and shocking film...grab your copy as soon as you can. If you have to have one guilty pleasure in life, let it be Trashology...it is totally one of mine! For the full review go to www.charhardin.blogspot.com
My Review Of "Trashology"
Brian Dorton's "Trashology" is a love letter to John Waters and one hell-a fun movie! The film is comprised of three distinct stories of crazed madness and melodrama befitting a telenovela produced in Hell's asylum. It has a wrap around story that works harder than an Asian on a stripper pole. Yes that hard and crudely. This ain't no Lifetime movie bitches so if low brow humor at society and humanity's expense offends you then f**k you. This movie is hilarious as h*ll and brilliantly sick with humor. From Ouija boards to bowel releases and beyond I don't think there is anything left out of this wonderfully crafted train wreck of lives. The first story is entitled "The Vat" which features friendships only Satan's geriatric grandmother could relate to or anyone with a parent over the age of 50. The characters are over the top and draw from a creative point somewhere between Golden Girls on crack and Golden Girls on acid, I want to tune in next week to see what psychotic mayhem these woman get into next! Following the crazed social turrets outburst that is "The Vat" comes the twisted little tale called "Big Debbie" which features the one fetish that I just can't wrap my little [email protected] brain around known as 'squashing'. As I have been told over and over, it is a thing! Yet that is just the start of this sick little puppy because poor Debbie goes through some sh*t and thankfully comes through only slightly more damaged-in this film that last statement should be followed by 'if a person can be more damaged than this poor woman to begin with'. Don't get me wrong everything in this segment is dark, funny, and one h*ll of a ride through Psychoville that I will take over and over again any day. Following "Big Debbie" is a tale that would make Mickey and Mallory sh*t their denim jeans called "Inglorious B**ches" about two friends who decide to take their love of killing people and turn it into cause for killing people by going after sex offenders. As if we all haven't thought of taking a ball bat covered with spikes and ramming it up some sicko's a** until he is D-E-D dead! Well anyway the characters in this segment are so twisted and wonderful. Actually there isn't one badly written or poorly acted character in this little mental outburst of filthy thoughts and filthy jokes.
The story for "Trashology" is genuinely well written and f**king brilliantly executed which is more than the Texas Justice system can say. It is wicked sick how all the characters relate to each other in all three stories that show a true and honest passion for this genre from Brian Dorton that gives the film a slight seriousness which rocks because to make so many characters intertwine in a anthology either takes one h*ll of a vision or a true psychotic with some yarn and a white wall. (The walls are almost always white! well white-ish) Anyway "Trashology" is so much more than a love letter to John Waters it is hope – hope for a subgenre that almost never gets respect or appreciation yet makes some of the best written and most hilarious cult films evah! It is also a film that is epically brilliant and hilarious. I MEAN THIS FILM IS SICK! I think I will need an exorcism and enema just to get regular again. Okay I am lying! Those things are for funsies I was never regular to begin with and thank the gods of the sh*tty bowels of cinema neither is "Trashology". Now I am off to Walmart to pick out each of these characters and isle stalk them for my never ending continuation of this twisted flick!
