Happy Day of the Dead! This week, Gre-gory Smalley and Giles Deadwards discuss the week's weird new releases. First, the bizarro beauty satire "The Substance" hits Mubi streaming. Also on Mubi: a hidden short from David Cronenberg with the imposing but accurate title of "Four Unloved Women, Adrift on a Purposeless Sea, Experience the Ecstasy of Dissection." Also: the Belgian crime comedy "The Other Laurens" on Blu-ray; Alamo Drafthouse puts the Corey Feldman-led 2004 obscurity "The Birthday" into theater and onto VOD platforms; the final surreal work by Toshio "Funeral Parade of Roses" Matsumoto, 1988's "Dogra Magra," makes its world...
2024-11-0138 minPod 366: A Weird Movies PodcastPod 366, Ep. 91: Paolo Zelati's "American Nightmares"Our Halloween season guest is Paolo Zelati, author of "American Nightmares," a book of interviews with American horror directors of the 60s through the 80s. He's also a collaborator on George Romero's final screenplay, the as-yet-unproduced "Twilight of the Dead." Paolo has lots of interesting stories, but before we get to him Greg and Giles go through the week's new weird releases: "Vampire Zombies... from Space!" hits the festival circuit; a new restoration of Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice" shows up in revival theaters; Quentin Dupieux's long-awaited "Daaaaaali!" arrives on VOD; "Cuckoo" on Blu-ray; we mention the sci-fi psychological thriller "Slingshot"...
2024-10-251h 14Pod 366: A Weird Movies PodcastPod 366, Ep. 90: Once Again, Rumours of the Resurrection of the Brick Demon: The Ultimate CutGreg and Giles again cover the week's weird news and releases, beginning with a shout out to "The Substance." Other items discussed: Bi Gan alert for "Resurrection," Guy Maddin and the Johnson's release G7 satire "Rumours"; an experimental hip-hop feature entitled "Once Again (For the Very First Time)"; "Caligula: The Ultimatet Cut"'s arrival on VOD hopefully ends our endless coverage of the re-imagining; Criterion rediscovers the Japanese fantasy "Demon Pond"; and "Brick" arrives on 4K.
Errata and omissions: The movie Evan Johnson co-directed with Guy Maddin was "The Forbidden Room," not "Forbidden Zone."
The "Penthouse" producer whose name...
2024-10-1836 minPod 366: A Weird Movies PodcastPod 366, Ep. 89: Late Tuesday Night Dream of Kinds of Unraveling Before ChristmasIt's a workmanlike pre-Halloween episode as Greg and Giles run down the week's weird news and releases. First up, New Yorkers take note of the retrospective "So as to Dream: The Eternal Mysteries of Kaizo Hayashi" put on by Japan Society: it features many rarely seen films, some newly restored. Everyone can avail themselves of the wide theatrical rerelease of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (take the kiddies!), but you'll probably have to seek out the new indie psychological thriller "The Unraveling" on VOD. And three new films on home video to watch out for: the "Kinds of Kindness" Blu-ray...

Nadia has a lot of tea to spill, but first she helps Giles, Greg, and Robert quickly run through the week's releases, starting with announcements for some very cool double features playing at Beyond Fest no one will be able to get tickets for; the arrival of Quentin Dupieux's "Daaaaaali!" biopic in the big screen; a mini-debate on whether "The Substance" is worth your weird time; and Netflix sequel "...

Greg and Giles talk to Addison Binek and Greg DeLiso, co-directors of "Psycho Ape Part II: The Wrath of Kong," about their crowdfunded cult comedy (Part II) about the trial of a killer ape. But first, all four of us look at the week's massive slate of new and archival releases: "Megalopolis" is finally here, puppet horror "Abruptio" suddenly appears on screens, Criterion boxes up Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, African horror "Omen" gets a Blu-ray, Shudder puts surrealistic serial killer horror "A Wounded Fawn" on...

And stick around for our new end card!
Next week's Pod 366 guests will be Greg DeLisio and Addison...

But they only jabber on about it for 10 minutes before segueing into the week's new releases, starting with the hallucinatory low-budget Australian crime/horror mashup "Psychosis" on VOD; a Blu-ray of Signe Baumane's celebrated animation "My Love Affair with Marriage"; the panty-faced superhero of Hentai Kamen gets a Blu-ray of his own ("HK: Forbidden Superhero"); a lavish special edition release of "Late Night with the Devil," in plenty of time for Halloween; and a newly restored Blu-ray of the canonically weird "Viva...
2024-09-1336 minPod 366: A Weird Movies PodcastEpisode 84: Festival Season Sneaks up on 366Festival season caught 366 unawares, and Greg's discombobulation be heard in some technical issues that recall the Pod's earliest days (and in the unforgivable omission of Matthew Rankin's sophomore feature "Universal Language" from our TIFF coverage, which is corrected in the blog post.) At any rate, the guys just barely manage to get through a massive slate of topics, beginning with an update on "The 366 Weird Movies Guide (Volume 1)"; the appearance a surprising trio of weirdos (Harmony Korine and the Quay Brothers) at the Venice International Film Festival; a massive slate or potential weirdies at Toronto International Film Festival; physical...

(Note: "Zardoz Speaks to You" is published by Bear Manor Media, also publishers of the upcoming "366 Weird Movies Guide."). Before that, Greg and Pete discuss the week's weird movie news and releases, including the "Megalopolis" trailer fiasco, Belgian detective flick "The Other Laurens," VOD releases of the magical realist "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint" and the black comedy "Crumb Catcher," a long-awaited Blu-ray for the dystopian "Undergods," and what...

Before that, we run through the week's slate of weird movie news and releases: a David Lynch health update, Tarsem Singh restores "The Fall" and "The Cell," "Cuckoo" finds its ways to theaters, "Free LSD" appears on pay VOD, and a Blu-ray release of the gibberish comedy "Nude Tuesday."
2024-08-091h 09Pod 366: A Weird Movies PodcastEpisode 72: Hanky panky with Nick Roth and Lindsey Haun of "Hanky Panky"This week Nick Roth and Lindsey Haun join Pod 366 to talk about their telepathic handkerchief horror-comedy "Hanky Panky" (and possibly tease a sequel?) But first, Greg and Giles run through the week's weird movie news and releases, with discussion of David Lynch's new musical collaboration with singer Chrystabell; Jane Schonebrun's upcoming novel "Public Access Afterworld"; "La Chimera" on Blu-ray; Criterion's 4 upgrade of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"; Kino's 4K release of the original "Bad Lieutenant" (1992); and a quickee treatment of what's weird at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Next up are VOD releases of the horror-comedy "Hanky Panky" and the 366 slapstick fave "Hundreds of Beavers." Finally, we discuss physical media releases of the Orthodox Christian kung fu comedy "The Invisible Fight," and Criterion finally acquiring the rights to Bela Tarr's "The Werckmeister Harmonies."
ERRATA:
The "Werckmeister Harmonies" has a reported 39 takes (Greg obviously hasn't counted them).

Before we get to that, Greg and Giles discuss Zeb Haradon's new free A.I.-generated feature "The Epic of Gilgamesh," a new Kino Blu-ray of Guy Maddin's amnesiac war movie "Archangel"; a VOD release of the cryptid spoof "Frogman"; and a Blu-ray of the 2023 fantasy "Moon Garden."
