Discussed in this episode:

Black Rabbit, White Rabbit (2025): Multiple storylines converge in this “surreal” Tajikistan-based film about the making of a film. Now on Blu-ray from Deaf Crocodile. Buy Black Rabbit, White Rabbit.

Buddy (2026): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review and listen to Caspar Kelly’s Fantasia Festival Q&A. The insane horror parody about a killer unicorn who’s a children’s show host hits theaters everywhere this week; it’s been recommended to see it with an enthusiastic crowd (preferably at midnight). Buddy (Buddy the Unicorn) official Facebook page.

Buffet Froid (1979): Read the Apocryphally Weird Entry! Buñuel would have killed to make Bertrand Blier‘s cinematic ode to murder. Now out on 4K UHD in a luscious edition from Indicator. Buy Buffet Froid.

“The Duke Mitchell Collection”: Both of actor/director/lounge singer Duke Mitchell’s oddball gangster opuses—Massacre Mafia Style and Gone With the Pope–in a single edition from Grindhouse Releasing. Contains numerous, possibly painful extras like the lost soundtrack to Pope, home movies, and a complete Mitchell concert.  Buy “The Duke Mitchell Collection.”

Fantasy of the Deer Warrior (1961): Deer Warrior fights against Elk for the hand of Miss Deer, while wolves and foxes conspire against the peaceful woodland creatures. This Taiwanese fable, featuring actors dressed as animals, certainly looks like an oddity. Buy Fantasy of the Deer Warrior.

I Live Here Now (2025): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. Julie (daughter of Al) Pacino’s directorial debut is a female-forward feature about a stressed young actress retreating to a surreal hotel. Now on Blu-ray, it’s also currently free on Amazon Prime. Buy I Live Here Now.

Tiki Tiki (1971): A group of (animated) monkeys make a (live action) movie (actually an old Soviet science fiction film) in this oddity from the director of Heavy Metal. A semi-lost film resurrected for Blu-ray by Canadian International Pictures (five short cartoons by director Potterson are among the extras). Buy Tiki Tiki.

Touch Me (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Alien heroin hentai stuff, previously available on VOD but now on Blu-ray with multiple commentary tracks and lots of cast and director interviews. Buy Touch Me.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest firmly scheduled on next week’s Pod 366 (we have one or two in the works, but no dates yet). In any case, Greg, Pete, and Giles will be back to discuss the week’s weird news and releases. In written content, Michael Diamades gets candid about non-mondo Jacopetti/Prosperi movie Mondo Candido (1975), Shane Wilson reconstructs the experimental narrative of The Tracey Fragments (2007), Pete Trbovich decides he really needs a Safe Word (2022) for his Pete’s Perverted Pix series, and Gregory J. Smalley visits a weird Hot Spot (2026). Onward and weirdward!

Discussed in this episode:

Gandahar (1987): The final film from René Laloux, another psychedelic head trip in the vein of Fantastic Planet, had been hard to find, but has been restored and will be re-released via Janus Films. Opening August 28 (one week from today) at IFC Center, with future screenings presumed but not verified, and further presumption of a physical media release soon (likely as an official Criterion Collection selection). Gandahar at Janus Films.

The Good the Bad the Weird (2008): Read Alex Kittle’s review. The peculiar “Eastern,” with 3 characters (Korean takes on Eastwood, Van Cleef, and Wallach) in an uneasy collaboration as they use a map to try to find a hidden treasure, joins the 4K UHD ranks courtesy of Arrow. Buy The Good the Bad the Weird.

Hot Spot (2026): The Lure‘s Agnieszka Smoczynska returns to theaters with a dystopian story about a future society ruled by A.I. Reviews have been universally negative, but do use words like “trippy,” “strange,” “wacky,” “hallucinogenic,” and “incoherent.” Hot Spot official distributor site.

It Ends (2025): Read Giles Edwards’ capsule review. 20-somethings find themselves trapped in an endless road trip. Snapped up by Neon for a limited theatrical release. It Ends official site.

The Magnificent Cuckold (1964): Unfaithful Ugo Tognazzi dreams his wife Claudia Cardinale is cheating on him. Italian comedy of dubious weirdness, but some may find the dream sequences meaningfully strange. Buy The Magnificent Cuckold.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, and Giles will be off, but Greg and Pete will be there to cover the week’s weird news and new releases. In written content, Michael Diamades looks back and gets salty with a full rendering of Lot in Sodom (1993),  it’s finally time for Shane Wilson to go to Late August at the Hotel Ozone (1967), new writer Germán Biener tracks down the Spanish rarity (rarity over here, at least) Amanece, Que No Es Poco , and Gregory J. Smalley again considers a Cure (wonder why)? Onward and weirdward!

Discussed in this episode:

Dead Souls (2026): 71-year-old Alex Cox declares this, a Spaghetti Western adaptation of Nicolai Gogol’s Dead Souls, will be his last film. We somehow didn’t notice the screenings from earlier in the summer, but want to alert New Yorkers that it’s playing 8/14 at the Roxy Cinema, with the director in attendance for a Q&A on 8/15 (tomorrow!) Dead Souls at Alex Cox’s official website.

I Want Your Sex (2026): A contemporary artist (Olivia Wilde) manipulates her naive assistant into a BDSM relationship that (naturally) spirals out of control. An eccentric, if not quite weird, offering from Gregg Araki that might fit into the Pete’s Perverted Pix series. I Want Your Sex official site.

Nick: The Feature Film (2013): Read Shane Wilson’s review. The crew behind the absurd no-budget comedy (which is free to watch on YouTube) offer fans a 13th year anniversary Blu-ray, signed by director Jason Steele, with commentary and lots of bonus shorts and a collectible (?) “Pocketman” card.  Buy Nick: The Feature Film (on Esty).

Possession remake (coming 2007): Ugh. A remake of Canonically Weird Possession with Margaret Qualley (promising enough) directed by Parker Finn. Who, you ask? He directed Smile and Smile 2. Now, the Suspiria remake actually worked, on its own terms, but that was directed by the accomplished Luca Guadagnino, not a guy with a horror pulp and a potboiler sequel to his name.  The Hollywood Reporter describes the questionable project.

Spider Baby 3D (1967): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Another anaglyph 3D version of a public domain classic from the company who previously popped out editions of Carnival of Souls, The Night of the Living Dead, and others. Buy or download Spider Baby 3D from EyePop.

Swollen Creek (2025): An absurd microbudget horror-comedy anthology film with rubber masks, conjoined twins, and giant big queens. Released straight to Blu-ray with behind-the-scenes footage or catch on YouTube movies or free on Fawesome. Buy Swollen Creek.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest currently scheduled on next week’s Pod 366, but we’ll be back to discuss the week’s weird news and new releases. In written content, Michael Diamades goes beyond Singapore Sling with Nikos Nikolaidis‘ The Wretches Are Still Singing (1979); Shane Wilson checks out the “live-action anime” Casshern (2004); and Gregory J. Smalley decides on the Coen Brothers‘ existential film noir, The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001). (All three titles come from the reader-suggestion queue, which still fills up faster than we can empty it). Onward and weirdward!

Giles Edwards‘ complete Fantasia Festival 2026 coverage

Exit 8 (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The Blu-ray of the slightly weird video-game adaptation from Japan includes a Q&A with the director and a making-of feature. Buy Exit 8.

Safe (1995): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Todd Haynes odd, paranoid health-horror gets the 4K upgrade treatment from the Criterion collection (nothing new but the restoration and format, as far as we know). Buy Safe.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. Jane Schoenbrun‘s meta-slasher is one of the more highly anticipated movies of 2026 in these parts. Debuting in select prestige cinemas this week, looks to go into wider release about August 20 or so. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma official site.

The Weird Kidz (2022): Young teens and pre-teens go camping in the desert and encounter a monster. Animated gross-out comedy-horror from the producer of “Rick and Morty” and Anomalisa, there’s an outside chance it justifies its title. Starting a roadshow now (venues at the official site), promising a wider release in the first week of September. The Weird Kidz official site.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest officially scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, but the gang will be back to discuss the week’s weird news and new releases. In next week’s written content, we’ll be thinning out the reader-suggestion queue, as Michael Diamades gets into the infamous 1988 “Guinea Pig” entry Mermaid in a Manhole,  a well-written reader recommendation explains Where the Dead Go to Die (2012),  Shane Wilson serves up a double helping of “Hen, His Wife” (1990) and “Paté” (2001), while Gregory J. Smalley breaks the reader-suggestion trend with a look at the oddball “Girl Internet Show: A Kati Kelli Mixtape.” Onward and weirdward!

A gigolo becomes a suspect in a series of killings; now available on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome with numerous interviews as extras (it’s also on VOD). Buy Anything That Moves.

Good Manners (2017): A woman from São Paulo takes a job caring for a rich pregnant lady, but the baby is (spoiler?) not completely human.

“Three By Wojciech J. Has”: Read the Canonically Weird entries for  The Saragossa Manuscript and The Hourglass Sanatorium. Yellow Veil collects Wojciech Has‘ two classic weird movies and throws in one from his early career, How to Be Loved (1963), a WWII drama which does not appear to have much surrealist influence to it. Buy “Three By Wojciech J. Has”.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

We may have a surprise guest on next week’s Pod 366, but it hasn’t been finalized yet, so no promises. At any rate, the crew will be back to discuss the week’s weird news and new releases. In written reviews, Giles Edwards will finish up his Fantasia Festival 2026 coverage with any leftovers (including one highly anticipated film), and also have a review of Kansas Bowling‘s underground feminist screed Cuddly Toys (2022); Michael Diamades examines the Asian horror triptych Three… Extremes (2004); Pete Trbovich enjoys some Antiporno (2016) as part of his Pete’s Perverted Pix series; and Shane Wilson pieces together something about the pioneering mockumentary Coming Apart (1969). Onward and weirdward!
