Discussed in this episode:
Satan Hates You (2009): Read Eric Young’s review. The indie Christian scare film parody from 2009 gets its first Blu-ray release; the included “Creepy Christmas” shorts should be a nice bonus. Buy Satan Hates You.
The Stendahl Syndrome (1996): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Dario Argento‘s late giallo, premised around a dubious condition that causes people to hallucinate when viewing artwork, gets a 4K UHD upgrade from Vinegar Syndrome. Buy The Stendahl Syndrome.
The Thing with Feathers (2025): Read Michael Diamades’ review. Despite Benedict Cumberbatch‘s relative star power, Thing with Fearhers did not fly at the box office, and now receives a no-frills Blu-ray from Universal. Buy The Thing with Feathers.
Troll 2 (1990): Read Ryan Aarset’s review. Despite the fact that Troll is—by comparison—the better movie, there’s always been more interest in its disastrous sequel-in-name-only, Troll 2, which is widely considered one of the most laughably inept movies ever made. So much so that Vinegar Syndrome decided to upgrade 2 in a 4K UHD special edition, leaving the original in the dustbin. Buy Troll 2.
Twin Cheeks (1994): AKA Twin Cheeks: Who Killed the Homecoming King? A college student goes undercover as a male stripper to investigate his brother’s disappearance—think a Lynch parody as done by John Waters at his queerest and most transgressive. The VHShitfest edition of Kelly Hughes‘ microbudget “Twin Peaks” spoof includes director’s commentary, odds and ends, and an entire underground bonus feature, It’s Not the House, It’s My Mother (2023?), about which little information is available. Buy Twin Cheeks.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest is currently scheduled for next week’s Pod 366 (although Tatu Heikkinen and Veleda Thorsson-Heikkinen of Haunters of the Silence will appear the following week.) Greg and Giles will run down the week’s weird news and releases, as always. In written content, Micheal Diamades bathes in the animated Slovak origin story of Erzsébet Báthory, The Bloody Lady (1980); Shane Wilson attempts to translate Passages from Finnegans’s Wake (1966), the almost literal adaptation of James Joyce’s famously difficult novel; Gregory J. Smalley warns you not to Return to Silent Hill; and Giles Edwards refuses to chicken out in facing Luther the Geek (1989). Onward and weirdward!
