A minor note for long-time readers: for internal reasons, starting next week Alfred Eaker’s Fringe Cinema will be appearing on Mondays instead of Thursdays. Therefore, the week will kick off with the second part of his survey of 1976’s horror and exploitation scene (the first part is here), with a focus on Matt Cimber’s oddball artsploitation effort The Witch Who Came from the Sea. Last week, we leaned heavily on the animation front, and this week we expand on that trend with three cartoon reviews: Giles Edwards takes on the existential 80s kiddie flick Grendel Grendel Grendel, while G. Smalley plans to cover both the new release My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea and the under-the-radar psychedelic 1970s cult cartoon Hugo the Hippo. It’s quite an animated week here at 366 Weird Movies (yeah, we’re drawn to terrible obvious puns).

It seems the summer traffic lull is upon us early, meaning fewer strange search terms for us to highlight in our weekly survey of the Weirdest Search Terms of the Week. What about “babe,bimbo tube- free porn videos”—you’re looking for tube-free porn, dude? (Yeah, we’re stretching here, but there really aren’t enough decent candidates to fill out a list this week). Or maybe “hard spelt movie list” (we assume they’re looking for hard-to-spell movies, which seem like the last type of movies bad spellers should be looking for). Fortunately, we can take the always-available low road for our official Weirdest Search Term of the Week and go with “fat porn sax khartoum american move animal.” Good thing the searcher threw the capital of Sudan into that random mess of nouns, or it would have been just disgusting.
