For an appetizer, the guys have fun with the meager new release schedule this week: recent releases "City Wide Fever" and "Dust Bunny" now on physical media and DVD, an Andy Milligan box set of lost, erm, "treasures," and a pair of relatively week Jean Rollin 4Ks from Indicator ("The Grapes of Death" and "Living Dead Girl"). Then, it's on to the meat of the show, as we talk to Simon Glassman about his surreal channel-surfing odyssey "Buffet Infinity."

Greg has wandered off somewhere, but he shall return for next week's episode. Pete and Giles hold down the fort.

Giles is on disciplinary probation (for the crime of trying to have a private life), but Pete has nothing going on, so he's perfectly willing to sit and talk about a busy week in weird movie releases. Coming to theaters: existential video game adaptation "Exit 8"; mermaid anime "ChaO"; surreal spaghetti western "Heads or Tails?"; and non-anime mermaid indie "Mermaid." For at-home viewing, there's "The Bride!" on VOD, and in the Blu-ray world you can choose from the Quay Brothers' "Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass"; Chilean magical-realist AIDS allegory "The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo": the anthology "V/H/S Halloween"; the experimental queer Japanese film "Looking for an Angel"; or Pete's pick, "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"

Spring is in the air, and so are weird movies, leaving Greg, Giles, and Pete with lots of soon-to-bloom weird movies to preview. First up, it's three on-the-horizon projects: a Kickstarter for a new Bill Plympton music video, a piscine project from India, and a animation/documentary hybrid from the Iranian diaspora. In theaters, you can easily check out the absurd action of "They Will Kill You" at your local cineplex, although you may have to search harder for the mystical "Revelations of Divine Love." If you're in NYC you can catch the new restoration of Bruno Bozzetto's classical music animation anthology "Allegro non troppo," and even see it paired with "Fantasia" (we hope this screening presages a national tour and upcoming physical media release for this underseen classic). Finally, we cover 3 new physical media releases: animated series "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off," strange slasher "Cat Sick Blues," and Radu Jude's "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn."

Spring is here, and Giles, Greg and Penguin Pete are discussing the week's new weird releases for the week of March 20. First up, we preview a couple of SWSX debuts: Boots Riley's highly anticipated shoplifting satire "I Love Boosters" and the "psychedelic odyssey into the fabric of the universe" that goes by the name "Phenomena." Then we hit the horror-satire "Touch Me" (about a mysterious man with a literally addictive touch), inform you that the Juliette-Lewis-becomes-a-chair flick "By Design" is now on VOD, and cover two physical media releases: the disappointing "Return to Silent Hill" and the 2004 Corey Feldman-led cosmic black comedy "The Birthday." Plus, Penguin ball!

"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."

Thanksgiving's a-coming, and Giles and Greg are thankful for a weird week of movies ahead. First off, on the theatrical front, there's the lavish surrealist Eurospy event "Reflections in a Dead Diamond," controversial Jesus horror "The Carpenter's Son," a one-week NYC debut engagement for Bill Plympton's animated musical Western "Slide," special screenings of the rediscovered surrealist anime "Angel's Egg," and a new December "Hundreds of Beavers" tour. Physical media sees releases of Candian/Iranian mashup "Universal Language," Luis Bunuel's "El" from the Criterion Collection, and the standard edition Blu-ray/4K UHD version of "Dark City." But that's not all! Since we'll be off next week for Thanksgiving, we look ahead to next week's physical media releases: "Tromeo and Juliet," "The Happiness of the Katakuris," "The Demon's Rook," "Berberian Sound Studio," and the complete anime series "Galaxy Express 999." May the only turkeys you encounter next week be on your dinner table!ERRATA*The word Greg was looking for to describe "Let the Corpses Tan" was "poliziotteschi."*The "Galaxy Express 999" feature film was never reviewed at 366 Weird Movies.

Greg and Giles gaze into the future to see what lies ahead in weird movies! But first, we have a present announcement: "Freaked" (1993) is restored in 4K and now available on-demand (and in a lavish special-order physical set). Then, it's into the crystal ball to see what lies in the future: the 80s virtual reality gamer throwback "Obex" is set to debut in early January of 2026; Boots Riley announces "I Love Boosters"; a pair of psychological thrillers in development in the dream flick "The Sleepless Girl" and the Death Valley marathon set "Ultra"; psychedelic microbudget "Close-Up: An Odd-yssey" seeks finishing funds; and finally, thoughts on Yorgos Lanthimos announcing he will take a break from moviemaking.
