Discussed in this episode:
Buddy sequel? Casper Kelly revealed on a podcast that he is considering more Buddy movies. We’re skeptical, because we’d hate to see an original idea succumb to the extended universe virus, but Kelly has proven himself capable of producing surprising sequels before. We heard about it from Bloody Disgusting.
Four Rooms (1995): Read Shane Wilson’s review. The Tim Roth-centered anthology from 4 90s indie directors gets the 4K UHD treatment from Warner Archives (Blu-ray with archival featurettes included). Buy Four Rooms.
Jump Scare (2025): An all-women punk band goes to a cabin and encounters a family of cannibals. A low-budget horror comedy with hallucination sequences that’s getting great buzz. In very limited release. Jump Scare official Instagram.
Orfeo (2025): An expressionist Italian retelling of the Orpheus legend. Another very limited theatrical release, debuting in Columbus (and Albany?) before moving on to LA and other arthouse cities. Orfeo official site.
“Paper Trail” (2026): Perhaps looking to generate Oscar buzz, Don Hertzfeldt has put his latest experimental short up on Vimeo. This was recently announced as being available for free for a “limited time,” but nobody said how limited that time was, so act fast if you want to catch this one. “Paper Trail” on Vimeo.
Thankskilling (2009): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The absurd season grossout horror/comedy debuts on Blu-ray, with a couple of new interviews to accompany the features ported over from the DVD. Buy Thankskilling.
Thankskilling 3 (2012): The direct sequel has killer turkey Turkie trying to find the only undestroyed copy of Thankskilling 2. With even more puppets, this sequel is self-described as “surreal” (although viewers prefered the word “confusing”) and has a 2.7 IMDb rating (a big drop from the original’s already disappointing 4.2). But Wanda Lust returns! Buy Thankskilling 3.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Greg will be off Pod 366 next week (and the entire crew will take off the following week for Thanskillinggiving, but Giles and Pete will hang around to give you a pre-Black-Friday rundown of weird movie releases. In written content, Michael Diamades digs up Dead Lover (2025), Shane Wilson explains why you don’t remember The Vagrant (1992), and Enar Clarke dips into the “Fantastique: The Dreams and Nightmares of French Cinema” box set. Onward and weirdward!
