Discussed in this episode:
Iron Lung (2026): A surprise hit in theaters about a convict sent to explore a mysterious ocean on an interstellar moon in a ramshackle submarine. We ignored this video-game adaptation when it came out last week, but a loyal reader has since tipped us off that they think it’s weird. Iron Lung official site.
Mag Mag (2025): A woman swears revenge on the ghost (the titular Mag Mag) who slew her beloved. A subversive first feature from Japanese comic Yuriyan Retriever that has earned some comparisons to the work of Junjo Ito and Takashi Miike; Mag Mag is apparently playing in theaters somewhere (we were not able to find any venues in America). Mag Mag official site (in Japanese).
Nadja (1994): Michael Almereyda‘s experimental vampire movie, executive produced by David Lynch (who also has a cameo), is sort of a loose remake of Dracula’s Daughter (1936). Debuting this week at Brooklyn Academy of Music (with 2 Q&A’s with the director); more screenings to be found at the link to follow. We predict a Blu-ray in late 2026, early 2027 at the latest. Nadja restoration at Arbelos Films.
OBEX (2025): Read Giles Edwards’ review. You can now easily see Albert Birney‘s crypto-fantasia about a man entering a video game to save his demon-kidnapped dog on VOD. Rent OBEX on VOD.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Tatu Heikkinen and Veleda Thorsson-Heikkinen of Haunters of the Silence are our scheduled guests on Pod 366 next week. Greg is feeling better, and wouldn’t miss the chance to ask them some questions about this visually stunning movie, even if he was on his deathbed (Giles will be along, too). In written content, Micheal Diamades gives you a primer on Greek Weird cinema before Lanthimos (the Old Greek Weird Wave), Shane Wilson eliminates Takeshi Kitano‘s bleak yakuza film Sonatine (1993) from the reader-suggestion queue, and Gregory J. Smalley ventures into The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors (1963, Soviet Union). Onward and weirdward!
