Adventures in Analog: Deaf Crocodile is opening a brick-and-mortar location in the Kansas City area, with attached microcinema, in collaboration with Antenna Releasing. They are running a Kickstarter (the modest goal is already met, though you can still contribute for perks). Adventures in Analog Kickstarter.
Her Private Hell (2026): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. Nicolas Winding Refn‘s latest, set in a mysterious mist-blanketed city, is another dreamlike work (maybe even his most dreamlike work) blending art-house and grindhouse sensibilities. With Neon’s backing, it’s getting a decent theatrical release. Her Private Hell official site.
“Into the Forest: Folk Tales at DEFA”: Disclaimer: this one is for Brits (and maybe Europeans, or deep-pocketed Americans) only. A five film set of East German fairy tale (märchenfilme) movies including the Canonically Weird The Singing Ringing Tree alongside The Devil from Mill Mountain, Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, and the bonkers The Devil’s Three Golden Hairs. For a similar American set with two overlapping titles (but missing Singing Ringing Tree), check out Deaf Crocodile’s new DEFA set. “Into the Forest: Folk Tales at DEFA” at Eureka! (for UK Buyers).
The Love That Remains (2025): A vignette-style portrait of an Icelandic family in quiet crisis. “Often zany and surreal,” said Kevin Maher of the UK’s Times; it debuts on Blu-ray from Criterion Premieres. Buy The Love That Remains.
Tetsuo, the Bullet Man (2009): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The English-language pseudo-sequel/semi-remake of Tetsuo: The Iron Man arrives on Blu-ray for the first time. Buy Tetsuo, the Bullet Man.
NEPOTISM CORNER:
“Book of Hours”: Pete Trbovich‘s plays through the titular weird occult mystery puzzle game. Part 1 is here.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No scheduled guest on next week’s Pod 366 (unless you count Giles). Speaking of the curious Mr. Edwards, he will continue to drop reviews and interviews from his stint at the Fantasia Film festival. In other written content, Enar Clarke tells the truth about Alain Robbe-Grillet‘s 1968 offering The Man Who Lies, Michael Diamades describes the rare The Green Elephant (1999), and Shane Wilson spends time in The Hole (1998) (a Taiwanese/French art-house effort now in theatrical rerelease). Onward and weirdward!
