Quick links/Discussed in this episode:
Love and Work (2024): Interview with director and cast begins. In an alternate reality, work is illegal, and a network of underground workers seek clandestine employment. This thought-provoking experiment is currently on the festival circuit; we’ll update when it becomes more widely available. No official site.
Archangel (1990): Discussion begins. Read the Canonically Weird entry! A remastered version of Guy Maddin‘s sophomore film, an amnesiac early talkie about soldiers fighting a war that they don’t know is over. The Kino Lorber Blu-ray comes with a new commentary track from Maddin. Buy Archangel.
Epic of Gilgamesh (2024): Discussion begins. Zeb Haradon surprises with a previously unannounced, feature-length A.I. generated movie on YouTube. It’s an Expressionist version of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Watch the entire thing here (or the family-friendly, safe-for-work version here).
Frogman (2023): Discussion begins. A deadpan found-footage spoof about a documentarian searching for the elusive cryptid known as “Frogman.” Released a few weeks ago on VHS as a gimmick; now for purchase or rental on Google Play or Vudu, other outlets coming soon.
Moon Garden (2022): Discussion begins. Read Giles Edwards’ Apocrypha Candidate review. A Gilliamesque fantasy about a little girl in a coma who voyages through a disturbing dream world, trying to find her way back to reality. Now on Blu-ray with a bonus short film, deleted scene, and “making of” doc. Buy Moon Garden.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
No guest to announce on next week’s Pod 366 at this time. On YouTube, Pete Trbovich has his next Weird View Crew lined up, and it’s another “bad” one (that’s Andy Warhol‘s 1967 transgression, Bad). In written reviews, Shane Wilson gives his take on Poor Things (wonder why?); from Fantasporto, Rafael Moreira reports on Shinya Tsukamoto‘s latest, Shadow of Fire; and Giles Edwards takes on one that Came from the Reader-Suggested Queue with Wild Tigers I Have Known (2006). And of course, on Sunday, March 10, we announce 2023’s Weirdcademy Award Winners: if you haven’t voted yet, this is your last chance! Feature ballots here, shorts here. Onward and weirdward!
