Pod 366. Ep. 170: So Many Movies We Still Can't Cover Cannes

Pod 366, Ep. 176: Does "Everything Must Go" Mean Physical Media? (Video)

We begin this episode reacting to Sony's decision to stop making physical copies of PlayStation games, the move's possible effect on movies, and the future of physical media in general. Then it's on to happier topics: Greg reports on the "Everything Must Go!" extended edition of "Backrooms," followed by notices about Harmony Korine-backed experimental Colombian picture "Barrio Triste," high-flying sci-fi feature "Black Box," and a rerelease of Tsai Ming-liang's minimalist musical "The Hole," plus a notice that "Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror" has shown up on the dying physical media format.

Pod 366, Ep. 175: Stay Weird for Another 250 Years, America! (Video)

In our most patriotic episode ever, we bookend the pod with two American picks: Avalon Fast's witchy "Camp" (now in theaters) and Alex Winter's cancelled MTV comedy "The Idiot Box." In between, we celebrate Great Britain's "Children of the Wicker Man" documentary, France's nearly-complete "The Worlds of Lucile Hadžihalilović," Australia's macho drinking nightmare "Wake in Fright," and Italy's non-Biblical "Adam and Eve." It's a global melting pot of weirdness!

Pod 366, Ep. 174: Linus O'Brien on Rocky Horror's Strange Journey, and a LOT of new releases (Video)

With a record number of new releases (14!) to cover this week, this is one of our longest episodes. It's capped by a chat with Linus O'Brien, son of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" creator Richard O'Brien, about his new documentary "Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror." The new releases are: Guy Maddin's "Careful" restoration and re-release; art-house experiment "Mare's Nest" in limited release; Criterion Collection releases of John Waters' "Desperate Living" and "Hairspray"; "Malpertuis" on Blu-ray for the first time; Crispin Glover in "Mr. K"; Julia Ducournau's "Alpha"; Blu-ray collections from outsider artists Kati Kelli and David "The Rock" Nelson; the surreal "Dogra Magra"; Jean Rollin's "The Nude Vampire"; a Roman Porno reboot box set featuring Sion Sono's "Antiporno"; and new discs of catalog titles "Weirdsville" and "What Dreams May Come." Then, with Linus O'Brien, we discuss growing up with a musician father, Rocky fans, neurodivergence, and dimly-lit restaurants in Los Angeles.ERRATA/OMISSIONS *The Hungarian all-child adaptation of "The Tragedy of Man" was "The Annunciation," not "Ascension."*The Rollin movie with clowns Greg meant to mention was "Requiem for a Vampire," not "Lust for a Vampire"
