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):
Mother, Couch (2023): Grandma sits down on a couch in a furniture store and refuses to move. Buñuelian enough for you? Mother, Couch official site.
IN DEVELOPMENT:
Multiple Harmony Korine projects: Mr. Korine is keeping busy with a slate of upcoming projects. First up is a currently untitled “surreal home invasion thriller” shot in the first person with the cast’s faces digitally swapped with infants (!); then comes The Trap, Korine’s first fully-animated film, described as a hip-hop Oldboy; and finally, there’s another untitled comedy about which we know nothing except that it uses motion capture. Also, his latest, the infrared actioner Aggro Dr1ft, now streams exclusively at his own EDGLRD website. More details at Variety.
NEW ON HOME VIDEO:
Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11: Thrice Upon a Time (2021): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s Apocrypha Candidate review. Identical to previous Blu-rays, except much more steelbooky. Buy Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11: Thrice Upon a Time.
Natural Born Killers (1994): Read the Canonically Weird entry! NBK seems to get re-released in a new edition about every six months: this is the 4K UHD (+ Blu-ray) in steelbook format. Buy Natural Born Killers.
UHF (1989): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Weird Al’s cult comedy gets a new restoration and 4K UHD (Blu-ray included) release for its 35th anniversary. Bucking the week’s trend, it’s not a steelbook. Buy UHF.
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
Pod 366 returns from hiatus next week, with Greg and Giles discussing the week’s releases and previewing the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival. No guest is scheduled, but we have had last minute guests show up before. In written reviews, Shane Wilson watches the 1953 TV satire The Twonky; Giles Edwards previews the festival circuit feature Pocketful of Superstitions; and Gregory J. Smalley investigates another one from deep underground, The Absence of Milk in the Mouths of the Lost. Onward and weirdward!
