Discussed in this episode:
Ash (2025): An astronaut wakes up on a spaceship to find her crew dead, and wonders if she can trust the man who arrives claiming to be a rescuer. Some psychedelic scenes highlight this sophomore feature from Flying Lotus. No official site located.
Harlequin (1980): Read Giles Edwards’ review. The “mystical oddity” gets a physical media upgrade from Indicator. Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions are sold separately. Buy Harlequin.
Thirst (1979): Read Pamela De Graff’s review. As with Harlequin, you can purchase this Australian vampire flick in either Blu-ray or 4K UHD. Buy Thirst.
Tommy (1975): Read Scott Sentinella’s List Candidate review. Visit the Acid Queen again with this 50th Anniversary reissue in a 2-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray set (curiously, no special features on offer). Buy Tommy.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE: No guest officially scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, but Giles and Greg will return with a look at the week’s weird news and releases. In written reviews, Shane Wilson handles one that Came from the Reader-Suggested Queue with the Christian puppeteer documentary Hands of God (2005), Giles Edwards tracks down another reader suggestion in the impressively-titled Oh Dad, Poor Dad (Momma’s Hung You In the Closet & I’m Feeling So Sad) (1961), Enar Clarke enters The Mountains of Madness (1972), and Gregory J. Smalley plans to catch (and report on) cosmic sci-fi/horror Ash (above). Onward and weirdward!
I always thought that Tommy should’ve made the List (instead of, say, Lair of the White Worm, which I found, by Ken Russell’s standards, a quite conventional – and not all that great – horror comedy). Perhaps it’s high time to add it to the Apocrypha at least.
This morning, my copy of “Tommy” arrived.
Minutes ago, I finished watching the film for the first ever time.
I’ll chat with management about this omission.
