Pod 366, Ep. 180: Middle-Aged Sickness and Sexlessness at Camp Fantasia

In this week's short episode, Giles puts a bow on his 49 Fantasia Fest 2026 viewings with final recommendations for movies to watch out for in the coming months: Casper Kelly's killer kiddie show-slasher "Buddy"; silly/absurd comedy "Peril at Pincer Point"; indie "Freaks 2"; J-horror "Never After Dark"; Giles' pick for weirdest Fantasia movie, the microbudget "Dance Freak"; Indonesian fantasy "Levitating"; one-man Italian animation "Spacetime Chronicles"; vintage wuxia "Thrilling Bloody Sword" (1981); and Korean zombie variant "Colony." Then, notice of a couple of limited releases in theaters: "Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" (in major cities, expanding in a couple weeks) and indie animation "The Weird Kidz." Finally, a mention of two physical media releases: the Criterion Collection's 4K upgrade of Todd Haynes' chilly "Safe" (1995) and, in new releases, Japanese psychothriller "Exit 8."
