Discussed in this episode:

Arco (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The UHD/Blu-ray release of the animated film about a rainbow-suited boy who travels from the distant future to the less-distant future includes numerous featurettes (but, despite what the box claims, a soundtrack in the original language is not a bonus feature.)  Buy Arco.

The Bride! (2026): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Warner Bros. won’t recoup their investment on Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s bonkers flop Frankenstein’s bride movie with this UHD/Blu-ray/DVD offering (careful: each sold separately), but its nice that they did release it, and with meaningful documentary extras. Buy The Bride!.

The Dark Backward (1991): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Since the DVD went out of print, even a bare-bones release of the corpse-licking dark comedy is a welcome development. Buy The Dark Backward.

The Demoniacs (1974): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Is there any Jean Rollin left for Indicator to 4K up after this minor nautical horror? Buy The Demoniacs.

Fresh Kill (1994): A lesbian couple uncover a conspiracy involving toxic waste in a dystopian New York City. Never heard of this underground lesbian punk experiment before, but if the Criterion collection is going to bat for it, that means something. Buy Fresh Kill.

I Love Boosters (2026): Boots Riley‘s latest eat-the-rich manifesto finally arrives in theaters. IMDB users who hate boosters, but probably haven’t seen the movie, have been bombing it with anonymous 1-star reviews. I Love Boosters official site.

Matador Bolero (2026): The plot involves murder, cults, A.I., and an “elusive being living outside the realms of time and space,” and stars an experimental musician we’re unfamiliar with (Yves Tumor). So little information on this one, but the minimalist website (brought to us by something called “Surreal U.S.A.”) and the trailer pique our interest. Matador Bolero official site?

The Napa Boys (2025): A group called “The Napa Boys” go on a “wine-sloshed” comedy adventure in which they say the words “Napa Boys” a lot in this fourth installment of a long-running comedy series with no previous installments. In reviews, the words “inside joke” recur more frequently than other others, although one critic did use the acronym “WTF” and another calls it “bizarre.” Buy The Napa Boys.

Speed Racer (2008): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. This offering of the campy, flashy popcorn feature is UHD only (no Blu-ray) and steelbooked. Also available, if you hate steel, in non-steelbook format at (currently) the same price. Buy Speed Racer [4K Steelbook].

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest scheduled on next week’s Pod 366, but the gang will be back to discuss the week’s weird movie news and new releases. In written content, Michael Diamades pays respects to Fernando Arrabal‘s Car Cemetery (1983), Shane Wilson relates The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018), Enar Clarke profiles The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan (2025), and Gregory J.

Discussed in this episode:

Decorado (2025): Alberto Vázquez‘ feature length expansion of his existential mouse short finally hits theaters. As usual with GKids releases, the film will be shown in your choice of dubbed or subtitled formats. Decorado official site (Spanish) and U.S. distributor site.

Fight Club (1999): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Includes numerous bonus features (none new) and a standard Blu-ray. Buy Fight Club [4K Steelbook].

Krakatit (1948): A man has distorted dreams and memories of having created a weapon of mass destruction. Deaf Crocodile unearths yet another odd-looking one we’d never heard of before, this one from Czechoslovakia’s pre-New Wave. Buy Krakatit.

Motel Hell (1980): Read Giles Edwards’ review. A 4K UHD steelbook upgrade of the cannibal comedy; standard Blu-ray included, recycled extras from previous discs presumed. Buy Motel Hell [4K Steelbook].

Mystics in Bali (1981): Read Pete Trbovich’s List Candidate review. Previously on DVD, Mondo Macabro’s new Blu-ray release includes an extended cut of the film with 40 more minutes of jungle fever madness. Buy Mystics in Bali.

RIP Rex Reed: Reed, one of the last of the celebrity film critics, had atrocious taste and relished making enemies, but was always a reliable indicator of a great weird movie (the more Reed hated a movie, the more of a classic it was). Here is a nice remembrance from a friend who knew and liked him.

Scarlet Warning 666 AKA It Happened One Weekend, Scarlet Love  (1974-1996): This legendary lost film from one Palmer Rockey (who claims to play 7 roles in the film), laughed off the screen at its premiere in Dallas, is an apparently incomprehensible tale of spy antics, twins, and Satanism.  Very few have seen this, but one of them was the Church of the Subgenius’ Rev. Ivan Stang, who raved, “NO MAN can even barely begin to conceive of the PURITY OF PSYCHOSIS displayed by this  motion picture without actually seeing it.”  Buy Scarlet Warning 666.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, but we’ll be back to talk about all the weird movie news and new releases. In written content, Michael Diamades conceives the bizarre J-horror Egg (2005), Shane Wilson returns to the subcontinent for a look at the weirdie Tasher Desh [AKA The Land of Cards] (2012), Giles Edwards takes a crack at Krakatit (see above) and G. Smalley decides on the John C. Reilly as Buffalo Bill spaghetti western Heads or Tails? (2025). Onward and weirdward!

Buffet Infinity (2025): An occult conspiracy is gradually revealed through local commercials seen in a channel-surfing marathon

• Giles Edwards’ festival review
• Buffet Infinity official website
• Buffet Infinity official website
• Simon Glassman personal homepage

City Wide Fever (2025): A film student investigates the mysterious disappearance of a giallo director, uncovering a lost, cursed film script. Fresh out of theaters into your home, you can see if the movie “Guy Maddin presents” is a new classic spin on the genre. (VOD coming, we believe, next week.) Buy City Wide Fever Blu-ray.

Dust Bunny (2025): A scared kid hires the hitman next door to assassinate the monster that lives under her bed. We passed on mentioning this one when it first came to theaters, but viewer comments like “…keeps you hooked from the first strange moment to the last… There’s genuine heart beneath the weirdness” made us reconsider its relevance. Buy Dust Bunny.

The Grapes of Death (1978): A zombie movie set in wine country. A mid-period Jean Rollin “Rollinade” when he briefly turns his attention away from vampires and towards zombies. Buy The Grapes of Death.

“Gutter Auteur: The Lost Legacy of Andy Milligan”: This box set contains two previously lost Andy Milligan movies—the post-apocalyptic The Degenerates (1967) and “psychodrama” Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! (1968) —plus the documentary The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan.  Considering the quality of Andy Milligan movies that people thought were good enough to preserve, how good can lost Milligan films possibly be? “If you’re an Andy Milligan fan, there’s no help for you.”–Michael J. Weldon. Buy “Gutter Auteur: The Lost Legacy of Andy Milligan.”

The Living Dead Girl (1982): Toxic waste turns an heiress into a vampire-adjacent zombie. A very late, very boring Rollinade for completists. Buy The Living Dead Girl.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE: 

Paul Bunnell—of The Ghastly Love of Johnny X and the newly released A Blind Bargain, with Crispin Glover—will be next week’s guest on Pod 366. In written content, Pete Trbovich takes a break from Pete’s Perveted Pix for a blind look at A Blind Bargain, Shane Wilson fails to find a good English-language pun for the intensely Hindu reader-suggestion Marutirtha Hinglaj (1959), an animated Micheal Diamades holds his Hair High (2004), and Giles Edwards  buys into Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947) (previously reviewed here). Onward and weirdward!

Discussed in this episode:

A Blind Bargain (2025): A man offers his mother to a mad scientist (Crispin Glover) for a rejuvenating experiment; things turn out differently than he expects. A “remake” of a lost Lon Chaney silent done in the style of a 70s psychological thriller. A Blind Bargain official site.

Buffet Infinity (2025): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. A very limited release for this surreal “channel-clicking” odyssey that will show up on VOD May 8 . Buffet Infinity official site.

Hair High (2004): A couple attend their high school prom after their death. This typically absurd Bill Plympton animation lost money, but it features a relatively star-studded voice cast of Sarah Silverman, Dermot Mulroney, both David and Keith Carradine, Beverly D’Angelo, Ed Begley Jr., and vocal cameos by Matt Groening and Don Hertzfeldt. Buy Hair High.

Point Blank (1967): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. John Boorman‘s early existential gangster film is the coolest thing Lee Marvin has ever done; the Criterion collection apparently agrees.  Buy Point Blank.

Resurrection (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s Apocrypha Candidate review. Bi Gan ‘s dream-anthology feature is his most surreal film to date, and an instant art-house classic. Now on Blu-ray and DVD from Criterion Premieres. Buy Resurrection.

Song of the Miraculous Hind (2002): Marcell Jankovics explores more Hungarian myths, a la Son of the White Mare. Deaf Crocodile brings this Magyar-forward entry to the masses; its reputation suggests it has less appeal to general audiences than his other features. Buy Song of the Miraculous Hind.

Vampire Time Travelers (1998): The adventures of butt-biting sorority vampire time travelers. A DIY, shot-on-video comedy that leans heavily into its absurdism; the Visual Vengeance Blu-ray includes an entire bonus feature, I Know What You Did in English Class. Buy Vampire Time Travelers.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest scheduled on next week’s Pod 366, but we’ll be back with the weird movie news you can use. In written content, Micheal Diamades indulges in The Movie Orgy (1968); Pete Trbovich kicks off his limited “Pete’s Perverted Pix” series with The Laughing Woman (1969); Shane Wilson digs up Funny Bones (1995); and Gregory J. Smalley wonders if Mother Mary (2026) will speak words of wisdom that will comfort him. Onward and weirdward!
