Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (1979/2023): Read Pete Trbovich’s review of the theatrical cut. This is Thomas Negovan’s  complete reimagining of the disastrous Caligula, using mostly (only?) footage that was shot for the original production but either unused or cut out by Bob Guccione. Check out the official Caligula: The Ultimate Cut homepage for screening cities and dates.

Coraline (2009): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Fathom Events is re-releasing Henry Selick‘s mildly macabre stop-motion kiddie fantasy in remastered 3D in the later half of August. It’s a good way to ease a tyke into the world of weirder-than-Pixar cinema. See Fathom Events Coraline 15th Anniversary page for details and locations.

The Greatest Surf Movie in the Universe (2024): The trailer (which can be found on the official site) is full of unicorns and (what we hope are) dildos, and is most definitely NSFW, showing the obvious influence of  Matt Stone and Trey Parker. This crude Australian stop-motion film is getting a limited theatrical run starting this week, and we expect it to show up on VOD soon. The Greatest Surf Movie in the Universe official site.

The People’s Joker (2022): Read Giles Edwards’ review. The trans-superhero(ine) manifesto gets a pretty solid Blu-ray release from Altered Innocence, with lots of bonus features (including three separate commentary tracks). Buy The People’s Joker.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

Roger Mitchell, author of the newly released “Zardoz Speaks To You! How a Classic Movie was Created, Died, and was Born Again,” is next week’s scheduled guest on Pod 366. In written reviews, Shane Wilson has a date with 1982’s portentous The Appointment; Giles Edwards explores the lighter side of Takashi Miike with a look at his superhero comedy Zebraman (2004); and Gregory J. Smalley sees if Luc Besson can recapture the magic when he casts Caleb Landry Jones as DogMan. Onward and weirdward!
