Pod 366, Ep. 154: With Emergency Fill-in Co-host and Personally-Proclaimed Perv Penguin Pete

from Pod 366: A Weird Movies Podcast · host 366 Weird Movies

With Greg knocked out of commission this week, "Penguin" Pete fills in to discuss the week's new releases with Giles. They cover the upcoming? Japanese horror? "Mag Mag"; surprise indie sci-fi hit "Iron Lung"; and "Obex" on VOD. Then it's bonus coverage of the New Beverly's February slate of "Europe and Hollywood's Finest Adult Films," an honorary mention of today's Canonically Weird movie, and a mention of some documentary called "Melania" that we recommend not seeing. Also, our longest Errata entry ever!ERRATA AND OMISSIONS:*The "exotic locale" Greg was at was bed, and the "good fight" he was carrying on was against the flu bug.*"Iron Lung" opened last week but should be still playing in most areas.*In case you misheard, the New Beverly will be showing "Flesh Gordon," not "Flash Gordon," on February 23. *And finally, legal disclaimer: Pete should have said that the director of "Melania," Brett Ratner, was "in the Epstein files," not "on the Epstein Island list." We are aware of no evidence that Ratner visited the infamous island and believe Ratner denies it. He is mentioned many times in the Epstein files and the files include multiple pictures of him. In 2017, Ratner was accused of rape, and of sexual harassment by an additional 6 women; he denied the allegations but Warner Brothers severed ties with him. Before "Melania," he had not directed a movie since 2014. 366 Weird Movies stresses that all allegations against Ratner remain unproven; the only crime he has confessed to is directing "Melania."
