Discussed in this episode:
Ash (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Flying Lotus‘ sophomore sci-fi feature comes to Blu-ray (and DVD). Buy Ash.
Danger: Diabolik (1968): Read Alice Stoehr’s review. Mario Bava‘s 60s psuedo-psychedelic spy/superhero oddity is now out in on 4K UHD in a suitably lavish edition from KL Classics (standard Blu-ray also available). Buy Danger: Diabolik.
Magnetosphere (2025): A girl who can see music and hear colors moves to a new city, joins a performance of “Pirates of Penzance,” and meets a goofy handyman. A family comedy about synesthesia is certainly unusual, to say the least. Buy or rent Magnetsophere on VOD. Magnetosphere official site.
The Psycho Ape Christmas Spectacular (est. Dec. 2024): The gang behind Psycho Ape are crowdfunding a one-hour, highly absurdist Christmas special. They are looking for a modest $10,000, and for $200 you can submit your own song or scene to be included in the film. The Psycho Ape Christmas Spectacular Indiegogo page,
Snorkeling (2023):Two teenagers experiment with an imaginary addictive hallucinogenic drug. We suspect the setup is mostly an excuse to try out various psychedelic effects. Debuting on VOD July 25. Snorkeling official site.
The Stuff (1985): Read Pamela De Graff’s review. Larry Cohen‘s consumerist satire gets a major 4K UHD (only) release from Arrow. Buy The Stuff.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest (definitively) scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, but we’ll return with more news about new releases and more recaps of Fantasia Festival 2025. Also on YouTube, Pete Trbovich drops another curated “Ten Weird Moments” video, this time for Pi (1998) (we rejected the idea of “3.141592… Weird Things” as irrational). In written reviews, Shane Wilson considers whether Thriller–Cruel Picture (1973) lives up to its title, Eugene Vasiliev covers the Eastern European scene with Poland’s The Peasants (2023), Gregory J. Smalley plans a trip to Ari Aster‘s Eddington, and Giles Edwards continues his Fantasia reports (expect more interviews, too). Onward and weirdward!
