Host Sophie James, and the occasional guest, share a pop culture, film, and reality TV moment that takes up way too much space in the dumpster that is their brain and triggers shame. We intellectualize our unhinged obsessions with comedy and nuance to prove there’s one degree of trash for everything.

DDI E4: Mission:Impossible; Canceled:Plausible
Apologies for the TANGENTS, semi-unvetted info, calling John Woo an “actor” instead of “director”, and a one-take slip-up calling this “episode 2” when in fact it’s the fourth. I ramble more about the traumas and mental illnesses that led me to this godforsaken franchise and love of Tom Cruise’s unhinged Ethan Hunt. Enjoy!

DDI E2: Starts w/ a ‘T’ & Rhymes w/ DRAMA P1
Sophie is joined by her first guest, fellow Dumpster Diving Intellectual and Seattle-based comedian, Chris Mejia. There was an outline sent to him prior to recording but they immediately go on tangents that left each other calling their respective therapists to process old wounds. Much fun was had talking about everything under the sun including: The Fast and The Furious franchise is the best franchise to ever franchise in the history of franchising! Show Chris some love on his IG: @chrismejiacomedy. Episode edited by: @senoritawilgris (except for that blip in the intro that’s all me 😩).

DDI E1: I’m Only Happy When It Rains
Season 1 Premiere! Learn more about the ethos of the Elevated Garbage brand and the overall structure for the Dumpster Diving Intellectuals podcast. Sophie spends two-thirds of the episode ranting on how she never thought she’d be back here shouting into the void with like-minded garbage people. Sophie knows it’s in large part to you all so enjoy this intro into a new world with the same ol’ unhinged shit “and elevated garbage [you’re] used to.” Thank you to Victoria Price, Jenny Wagner, Tristan Howard, Kirsten and Mary Lueder, Lucy Bishop, Morgan Petit-Homme, and every single person that donated financial and emotional capital and support to the Elevated Garbage LLC. ⬆️🗑️🫡
