Discussed in this episode:

A Blind Bargain (2025): Read Pete Trbovich’s review. We talk to director and actors Jed Rowen and Claudia McLeod about their led mad scientist flick, a reimagining of a lost silent. Free tickets are available from the official site.

The Devils (1971) restoration: Read the Canonically Weird entry! Multiple outlets reported this news; ‘s medieval witchcraft-hysteria outrage The Devils has been restored in 4K, and will screen at Cannes this month and in US theaters (presumably for one night only) on October 16. Some of this is just speculation, but the official Instagram page of Warner Brothers’ Clockwork subsidiary included artwork from the infamous “rape of Christ” scenes, so I think we can safely expect this to be the full, uncut version.

OBEX (2025): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE: 

No guest scheduled on next week’s Pod 366 (but then again, our last couple of guests popped up with less than a week’s notice). I written reviews, Michael Diamades hunts down Dust Bunny (2026), Shane Wilson decides whether reader-suggest British biographical comedy The Great McGonnagall (1974) lives up to its title, Pete Trbovich returns to his “Pete’s Perverted Pix” miniseries as he rents his own Secretary (2002), and Gregory J. Smalley chews on Endless Cookie (2025). Onward and weirdward!
