WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Next week we return to normal on Pod 366 with Gregory J. Smalley and Giles Edwards running through the week’s new releases. In written reviews, Shane Wilson adds his two cents to the pile of 366 opinions on Hundreds of Beavers (in conjunction with it’s wide Blu-ray release), while Greg reveals the winners of the Online Film Critics Society’s annual awards (and tells you how he voted, as well). Onward and weirdward!
1. With David Lynch’s passing, it just felt like the world got a lot less, shall we say, intriguing. No matter what he did, whether the surreal movies or studio fare, he brought his own ideas to them.
2. *Sees Hundreds of Beavers* Me thinks there’s a Apocrypha coming. It always feels like waking up on Christmas and opening the presents when that day comes.
You guys know there is a movie about a woman turning into a chair that’s going to be at Sundance called By Design
Yep, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but we’re hoping to discuss Sundance a bit on next week’s Pod.
