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!
