Discussed in this episode:
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4 (2000): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The last of the Toxie sequels gets the same deluxe treatment as the rest of the series, infra. Buy Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4.
Eddington (2025): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Not a weird movie, but a recommended one that Ari Aster fans owe it to themselves to check out. Buy or rent Eddington (premium pricing).
Jimmy and Stiggs (2024): A drug addict (who might be hallucinating?) is abducted by aliens, then fights them off when they return to his apartment. The in-your-face violence of this metal, neon-soaked offering from Joe Begos attempts to evoke comparisons to carnage classics like Evil Dead and Dead Alive. Jimmy and Stiggs official site.
WARNING: Trailer above is NSFW (profanity and neon alien carnage)
Prince of Darkness (1987): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Shout! Factory’s 4K UHD Steelbook version of John Carpenter‘s strange quantum/occult horror film; contains numerous seen-before bonus features. Buy Prince of Darkness.
The Toxic Avenger (1984): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The movie that put Troma on the map is being re-released in 4K (UHD and Blu-ray) ahead of of the Peter Dinklage-led remake that will be dropping in a few weeks. Buy The Toxic Avenger.
The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The first sequel leans even further into absurdity, which would be the hallmark of the series (and Troma’s output generally) going forward. Buy The Toxic Avenger Part II.
The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. For completeness’ sake. Buy The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie.
The Tragedy of Man (2011): After the fall, Lucifer guides Adam through a preview of mankind’s coming atrocities. A truly monumental release from Son of the White Mare‘s Marcell Jankovics, this era- (and animation style-) spanning epic is based on a 1861 play and took almost 25 years to complete. Buy The Tragedy of Man.
Vampire Hunter D (1985): Read Giles Edwards’ review. Surprisingly, the original post-apocalyptic vampire OVA had never had a Blu-ray release until this year. Here it is. Buy Vampire Hunter D.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest firmly scheduled for next week’s Pod 366, although we are negotiating a date for a surprise interview. In any case, Giles will return to discuss the week’s news and new releases with Greg. In written content, Shane Wilson brings you an appetizing double feature of Calamari Union (1985) and Calamari Wrestler (2004), Giles Edwards returns with a look at the new animation Boys Go to Jupiter, and Gregory J. Smalley finally delivers on his promise to add Andrzej Zulawski‘s semi-finished sci-fi epic On the Silver Globe (1988) to our Apocryphally Weird list. Onward and weirdward!

Also Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977) is still under List Candidates, Wise Blood (1979) is misspelled as Wide Blood, Marebito (2004) is misspelled Maribeto, Wise Blood (1979) should be under Winterbeast (1992), Wild in the Streets (1968) should be under The Wild Boys (2017), & collective:unconscious is missing it’s year of 2016.
There’s also the inverse problem of List Candidates in the Capsule section, but I’ll sort that out some other time.
Oh man, thanks, but those errors will take me FOREVER to fix. Updating manually is a pain, and over 15 years or so a lot of small mistakes can accumulate… At least you put this list all in one place for me!
Also should mention La Jetée & Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life have Capsule in the title even though they’re tagged as List Candidates.
& Repo: The Genetic Opera (2008) has Capsule in the title but is tagged as List Candidate.
OK, I believe these errors are now finally sorted out. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.
