Discussed in this episode:
Untold Capital * Untold Capital Twitter
The Backrooms feature film: According to the press release, 17-year-old Kane Parsons will direct a feature film version of his YouTube hit “The Backrooms” “over his summer vacation.” Sounds impressive, until you hear James Wan is producing the film for distributor A24, when the news becomes not just impressive but incredible. More at Bloody Disgusting.
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002): Read the Canonically Weird entry! A major re-issue of our favorite Elvis-fights-mummies feature from Shout! Factory, with a 4K UHD disc, a standard Blu-ray, and a trio of new featurettes along with all the extras from previous DVD and Blu-ray sets. Buy Bubba Ho-Tep.
Cinematic Sorceress: The Films of Nina Menkes: This 2-Blu set from Arbelos collects almost all of the seldom-seen output of the underground feminist pioneer in one place. Menkes’ work has been compared to both Andrei Tarkovsky and David Lynch (although she works on much lower budgets). Buy Cinematic Sorceress: The Films of Nina Menkes.
Irreversible: Straight Cut: Gaspar Noé‘s Irreversible was a rape-revenge film where the action was revealed in reverse sequence of events. Here it is re-edited in chronological order and re-released in a few repertory theaters across the U.S. just in time for Valentine’s Day. Check out the Irreversible: Straight Cut homepage to see if it’s coming near you sometime.
The Outwaters (2023): Cosmic horror in the Mojave Desert. This low-budget found-footage film is getting a relatively wide release thanks to a deal with the Regal Cinemas chain. The Outwaters official site.
Pinocchio 964 (1991): Read Kat Doherty’s review. Media Blasters’ Blu-0ray debut of the movie about a discarded robot sex slave and his amnesiac companion is already out-of-stock everywhere we looked; still, you can check and see if you can buy Pinocchio 964.
