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

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. 173: Perfect Blue Audition

Kicking off with a description of the wrong product, 366-kateers Giles and Pete correct the course with fine-style rambling about Satoshi Kon's classic "Perfect Blue" (1997), now out in luscious 4K-Steelbook format. Sliding seamlessly two years into the future, Takashi Miike's breakout hit "Audition" (1999) gets the Trbodwards treatment as 366 reiterates why this is a Must See. (Plus, a bonus recommendation for "Tokyo Gore Police.")
