“The 366 Weird Movies Guide, Vol. 1:” It’s here! “Covering everything from art-house surrealism to next-generation cult movies to B-movie atrocities and unclassifiable oddities, 366 Weird Movies has been publishing online since 2009. Here are our canonical choices of the 366 weirdest movies worthy of your eyeballs – and the day you should watch them on – in all-new capsule reviews, delivered with our usual combination of sly humor and series insight.” Available now from our publisher, Bear Manor Media (in hardback or paperback) or from Amazon, more options (including buying from us directly) to come. Vol. 1 covers movies selected for viewing on January 1st to June 30th; we’ll let you know when Volume 2 is ready.

HK: Forbidden Superhero  [AKA Hentai Kamen] (2013): Japanese drama about a superhero who gains secret “pervert powers” by wearing women’s panties on his face. As far as we can tell this has never before been released on physical media in North America. It’s been in our reader-suggestion queue, though (naturally!) Buy Hentai Kamen.

Late Night with the Devil (2023): Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. Arriving on physical media in time for Halloween, the “live” 70s vintage talk show/exorcism is available in limited-edition steelbook or DVD format, with a standard (pre-order now) Blu-ray coming on October 8.

My Love Affair with Marriage (2022): The latest introspective feature-length animation from Signe Baumane, who addressed depression in her 2014 feature Rocks in My Pocket, takes on the subject of romance (and abuse). On Blu-ray or DVD, no special features advertised. Buy My Love Affair with Marriage.

Psychosis (2023): A criminal “fixer” experiences auditory (and other) hallucinations as a mysterious contact drags him into a “surreal maelstrom.” Now on VOD, Hoopla, or you can wait until October 4 when it shows up on ad-supported Tubi. Buy or rent Psychosis.

Viva la Murete [Long Live Death] (1971): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Radiance restores Fernando Arrabal‘s surreal (and extremely personal) autobiography about growing up in Francoist Spain; includes a lot of new bonus material, including short and full-length docs on Arrabal.  Buy Viva la Murete.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

No guest is scheduled on Pod 366 next week, although we will have new names to announce soon. In written reviews, Shane Wilson hopes the stop-motion apocalyptic oddity Mécanix (2003) will become popular; Giles Edwards investigates the case of the suspiciously Lynchian surreal noir The Blue Rose (2023); and Gregory J. Smalley sinks into Psychosis (see above). And we might just send out some more reminders about “The 366 Weird Movies Guide, Vol. 1.” Onward and weirdward!
