Discussed in this episode:
Dead Souls (2026): 71-year-old Alex Cox declares this, a Spaghetti Western adaptation of Nicolai Gogol’s Dead Souls, will be his last film. We somehow didn’t notice the screenings from earlier in the summer, but want to alert New Yorkers that it’s playing 8/14 at the Roxy Cinema, with the director in attendance for a Q&A on 8/15 (tomorrow!) Dead Souls at Alex Cox’s official website.
I Want Your Sex (2026): A contemporary artist (Olivia Wilde) manipulates her naive assistant into a BDSM relationship that (naturally) spirals out of control. An eccentric, if not quite weird, offering from Gregg Araki that might fit into the Pete’s Perverted Pix series. I Want Your Sex official site.
Nick: The Feature Film (2013): Read Shane Wilson’s review. The crew behind the absurd no-budget comedy (which is free to watch on YouTube) offer fans a 13th year anniversary Blu-ray, signed by director Jason Steele, with commentary and lots of bonus shorts and a collectible (?) “Pocketman” card. Buy Nick: The Feature Film (on Esty).
Possession remake (coming 2007): Ugh. A remake of Canonically Weird Possession with Margaret Qualley (promising enough) directed by Parker Finn. Who, you ask? He directed Smile and Smile 2. Now, the Suspiria remake actually worked, on its own terms, but that was directed by the accomplished Luca Guadagnino, not a guy with a horror pulp and a potboiler sequel to his name. The Hollywood Reporter describes the questionable project.
Spider Baby 3D (1967): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Another anaglyph 3D version of a public domain classic from the company who previously popped out editions of Carnival of Souls, The Night of the Living Dead, and others. Buy or download Spider Baby 3D from EyePop.
Swollen Creek (2025): An absurd microbudget horror-comedy anthology film with rubber masks, conjoined twins, and giant big queens. Released straight to Blu-ray with behind-the-scenes footage or catch on YouTube movies or free on Fawesome. Buy Swollen Creek.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest currently scheduled on next week’s Pod 366, but we’ll be back to discuss the week’s weird news and new releases. In written content, Michael Diamades goes beyond Singapore Sling with Nikos Nikolaidis‘ The Wretches Are Still Singing (1979); Shane Wilson checks out the “live-action anime” Casshern (2004); and Gregory J. Smalley decides on the Coen Brothers‘ existential film noir, The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001). (All three titles come from the reader-suggestion queue, which still fills up faster than we can empty it). Onward and weirdward!
