Discussed in this episode:
Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition: The good news is, surprise hit Backrooms is back in theaters with bonus content. The bad news is, the bonus content is mild—a 15 minute independent short, set before the events of the movie begin, that plays after the feature has concluded. Reportedly there are no plans to release this in any other format, so it’s one for true fans of the web series in particular. Backrooms at A24 (for venues).
Barrio Triste (2025): A “hallucinatory” found footage movie set among Medellin’s juvenile delinquents. From Harmony Korine‘s EDGLRD productions, in limited release. Barrio Triste official site.
Black Box (2026): Passengers on a domestic flight deal with aliens (or something) high in the skies. The ad copy throws out adjectives like “surreal” and “bizarre,” although we’re a bit skeptical. It appears to have gone directly to VOD. Buy Black Box on VOD.
“Hideo Kojima Warns of ‘Frightening’ Digital Future After PlayStation Reveals Plan to End Physical Disc Production”: One of many articles/elegies written in the wake of Sony’s decision to stop producing physical discs for PlayStation. Read the article at IGN.
The Hole (1998): Ming-liang Tsai joint about the relationship between two people stuck in an apartment building that has been evacuated due to a virus. Like most Tsai pictures, it mixes minimalism and musical numbers; unlike most, it’s getting a heavily-promoted (by obscure art-house standards) rerelease. The Hole re-release info at Big World Pictures.
Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025): Read Pete Trbovich’s review and listen to our interview with Linus O’Brien. The The Rocky Horror Picture Show doc joins the Blu-ray ranks; put it on your shelf next to the original. Buy Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror.
