Boys Go to Jupiter (2024): Read Giles Edwards’ review. Julian Glander‘s comic animation about a gig economy teen hustler and aliens comes to Blu-ray with a number of neato extras: commentary, music videos, and four Glander shorts. Buy Boys Go to Jupiter.
The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001): A Cold War barber finds himself involved in a blackmail scheme that goes wrong.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest scheduled for next week’s Pod 366 (unless you count a pop-in from “Penguin” Pete Trbovich). The week after, we should have Ryan Verrill and Billy Ray Brewton from new boutique distributor Antenna Releasing on to discuss the current state of cult film distribution and other topics of interest to our core audience. At any rate, we’ll bring you all the weird movie news that’s fit to discuss. In written content, Giles Edwards will catch you up on the rest of the SlamDance 2026 slate (shorts and a feature); Micheal Diamades takes another bullet for the rest of the staff and covers the infamous, frequently banned bestiality-themed Belgian feature Vase de Noces (1974); Shane Wilson recommends the only-slightly-less-transgressive and “actually insane” trash talk show satire United Trash [AKA The Slit] (1996); and Gregory J. Smalley tries to find a purpose for Thailand’s reincarnated vacuum cleaner romance A Useful Ghost (2025). Onward and weirdward!
