Discussed in this episode:
Giles Edwards’ Soul to Squeeze review
#Shakespeare’s Shitstorm (2020): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. A very delayed debut for Troma‘s crude “The Tempest” parody, on 4K UHD only, for some reason. Buy #Shakespeare’s Shitstorm.
Altered States (1980): Read the Canonically Weird review! Ken Russell‘s insane drug trip movie is a welcome new addition to the Criterion Collection. Buy Altered States.
Bugonia (2025): After months (and even years) of waiting, Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Save the Green Planet! remake (starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons) is finally here! In limited theaters now, expanding soon. Bugonia official site.
Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone (2007): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The first installment of the Evangelion reboot arrives on Blu-ray for (surprisingly) the first time. Buy Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone.
Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance (2009): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The saga continues. Buy Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance.
The Shrouds (2024): Inspired by the death of his wife, David Cronenberg made this movie about a funeral home director who creates graves where the bereaved can watch their loved ones’ bodies decompose via a smartphone app. From the Criterion Collection’s new sub-label Criterion Premiers. Read Gregory J. Smalley’s Apocrypha Candidate review. Buy The Shrouds.
Three (2002)/Three… Extremes (2004): Three… Extremes is an Asian horror anthology featuring entries from Fruit Chan (who expanded his story into a feature), the legendary Chan-wook Park, and, most importantly, Takashi Miike (who delivers by far the weirdest entry). Arrow pairs it with the similar but lesser-known trio Three for a Blu-ray six film double feature. Buy Three/Three… Extremes.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest scheduled for next week, but Giles and Greg will be back to discuss the week’s weird movies in a pod that drops on Halloween. In written content, Shane Wilson finishes up his reader-suggested Halloween coverage with two Golems (1920 and 1979 versions); El Rob Hubbard provides an exhaustive seasonal folk-horror review of the 24-film “All the Haunts by Ours, Vol. 2” box set; Enar Clarke reports on how Crispin Glover handles his role as the titular Mr. K (2025); and Gregory J. Smalley bugs out to the theater hoping to bug out over Bugonia (see above). Onward and weirdward!
