Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs and Blu-rays (and hot off the server VODs), and on more distant horizons…
Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.
IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):
The Other Me: Jim Sturgess is losing his eyesight, has a wife named “Nutsa,” and has begun hallucinating. This low-budget effort probably would have escaped our notice entirely if not for the “executive producer David Lynch” mention in the trailer. Look for it on VOD. The Other Me Instagram page.
CANONICALLY WEIRD (AND OTHER) REPERTORY SCREENINGS:
This section will no longer be updated regularly. Instead, we direct you to our new “Repertory Cinemas Near You” page. We will continue to mention exceptional events in this space from time to time, however.
FREE ONLINE WEIRD MOVIES ON TUBI.TV:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): Read the Canonical entry. Leaving soon, so if you don’t watch it now, you may forget that it ever existed on Tubi. Watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind free on Tubi.

Criterion Reflections – Episode 112 – Peter Medak’s The Ruling Class – We’re once again among the recommended supplemental links for the long-running podcast’s latest episode, covering The Ruling Class
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
We’re still looking for RSVPs and nominations for our next Weird Watch Party, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 12. Join the conversation here.
We’re also continuing our latest round of voting in our Apocrypha Promotion/Re-ranking the 366 Canon poll. This round remains open until midnight tomorrow. Vote here.
Next week, we’ll have a guest list from film critic Neils Matthjis, who delivers a list of ten overlooked weird movies: films so obscure that eight of them aren’t even mentioned anywhere on this site. Next, will plumb the reader-suggested list for another relatively obscure film— Kei Fujiwara‘s 1996 surrealistic gorefest Organ. And opines on Derek Jarman‘s anachronistic and homoerotic portrait of Edward II (1991)—the best known film we’ll discuss next week, yet still one that no one you know has ever seen (unless you hang with a really weird crowd). It’s obscurity week at 366 Weird Movies! Onward and weirdward!
What are you looking forward to? If you have any weird movie leads that we have overlooked, feel free to leave them in the COMMENTS section.
