Discussed in this episode:
“Fantastic Fest 2025”: Fantastic Fest generally marks the end of the festival season for us, usually debuting a few late-bloomers that missed earlier festivals and traditionally reviving a strange forgotten B-movie or two. Here are four titles Giles Edwards will be keeping an eye out for, post-fest:
- Dawning – remote vacation home, trauma recovery, mysterious visitor are the spooky elements in this Spanish/Norwegian picture to be released stateside by SpectreVision
- Decorado – Alberto Vázquez‘ feature length expansion of his existential mouse short
- Dildo Heaven – Doris Wishman‘s final film, released in 2002, has been restored (!) and will be out and about in some form or another soon
- The Ice Tower – Lucile Hadzihalilovic‘s scenario concerns a teenage runaway who lands at a film set for an adaptation of “The Snow Queen”; full review coming soon
No! You’re Wrong, or, Spooky Action at a Distance (2025): Another Crispin Glover experimental film, with little to go on other than the Expressionistic trailer. As with many of Glover’s specialist films, this will tour with the director available at each screening, starting at its world premiere at the Museum of Modern Art this upcoming Oct. 2 (and probably will not reach streaming or physical media). No! You’re Wrong at Crispin Glover’s home page.
One Battle After Another (2025): Leonardo DiCaprio is a burnt-out radical stoner fighting the Man to save his missing daughter. Paul Thomas Anderson learned his lesson from the last time he tried to adapt Thomas Pynchon—but did he learn the right lesson? One Battle After Another official site.
Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025): Richard O’Brien‘s son, Linus O’Brien, directs this tribute to the sci-fi musical cult classic. In limited theaters; you can check for a venue near you at the Strange Journey official website.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Circumstances (almost) beyond our control delayed the posting of this week’s Pod 366 episode, and will cause us to shift this week’s Saturday Short to a Sunday Short. But never fear, even with a busy week ahead, we should be back on schedule for next week’s Pod 366 (“The Return of Greg”) to drop on Friday. In upcoming written content, Shane Wilson begins his Halloween reader-suggested watch season with the unserious Gory Gory Hallelujah (2003); Enar Clarke encounters Shôhei Imamura‘s Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (2001), and Giles Edwards climbs The Ice Tower (see above). Onward and weirdward!
