“Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe”: All new 4K restorations, and packed with extras, this Arrow box set gathers nearly all of José Mojica Marins cinematic appearances as his amoral “Coffin Joe” (“Zé do Caixão”) character: At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964); This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse (1967); The Strange World of Coffin Joe (1968); The Awakening of the Beast (1970); The End of Man (1971); When the Gods Fall Asleep (1972); The Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures (1976); Hellish Flesh (1977); Hallucinations of a Deranged Mind (1978); and Embodiment of Evil (2008). Released just this week and already listed as “out of stock” last we checked (although secondary markets have copies); per Ian Jane on our podcast, Arrow may have temporarily withdrawn it to fix a subtitling issue on one of the discs. Buy “Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe.”
Radio On (1979): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. “Standard Special Edition” sounds like a contradiction in terms, but that’s how this Blu-ray release of the British cult film about 1970s alienation bills itself. Includes new interviews and a commentary track not on the previous DVD release. Buy Radio On.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Next week on Pod 366, Zeb Haradon (Elevator Movie) will join us to discuss his latest dream-based, A.I.-generated feature film, The Eternal Recurrence. And more YouTube channel content as Pete Trbovich puts out the second in his new series of video reviews, “Weird View Crew,” unlocking the mysteries of Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972). In written content, we have a real treat: John Paizs kindly consented to answer some questions for 366 Weird Movies to help illuminate his Canonically Weird Crime Wave (1985) (and other topics). Also, Shane Wilson calls an audible to review the Brian De Palma flop/oddity Get to Know Your Rabbit (1972), Giles Edwards begins his Slamdance 2024 coverage with the Italian paranormal thriller The Complex Forms (and potentially other movies), and Gregory J. Smalley shares the winners of the Online Film Critics Society’s 2024 Awards (and reveals what he voted for). Another packed week! Onward and weirdward!
