Description

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"
