Pete is off this week (Internet issues), but Greg and Giles hold down the fort. In weird movie news, we lament the upcoming 2027 remake of Andrzej Zulawski's "Possession" (and Giles makes a surprise promise). Turning to new releases, we discuss Alex Cox's final film, a Spaghetti Western adaptation of Gogol's "Dead Souls"; Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex"; a weird-looking microbudget horror-comedy anthology called "Swollen Creek"; an adaptation of the classic "Spider Baby" to 3D format; and a vanity Blu-ray of "Nick, the Feature Film" aimed at that fanbase.

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, now on physical media: the Criterion Collection's 4K upgrade of Todd Haynes' chilly "Safe" (1995) and, in new releases, Japanese psychothriller "Exit 8."

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."

Another split episode, as we begin with Giles live in Montreal from the 2026 Fantasia Film Festival discussing three weird deep cuts to keep an eye out for in the future: bug fetish film "Insectasy," cutout animated scifi "Spacetime Chronicles," and the surrealist experiment "Sour Minnows." Then Greg and Pete discuss the week's new releases on physical media: Brazilian maternal werewolf movie "Good Manners," gigolo thriller "Anything That Moves," the 2/3 Canonically Weird box set "Three By Wojciech J. Has," and cult film 4Ks of John Carpenter's "In the Mouth of Madness" and Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair."

Another 2-parter this week. First, we discuss the films Giles has seen and recommended from this year's Fantasia Film Festival, in approximate order of how soon you will be able to see them: "Her Private Hell," Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma," "Godhead," "Dance Freak," and "Zsazsa Zaturnnah." Then Pete and Greg discuss the week's news and physical media releases, with notice of a Deaf Crocodile/Antenna Releasing storefront (with accompanying Kickstarter campaign), Icelandic dramedy "The Love That Remains" out on Criterion Premieres, a "Tetsuo: The Bullet Man" Blu-ray, and another DEFA set, this time from the UK-based Euerka! label, which includes the long-sought-after "The Singing, Ringing Tree."LINKS:Adventures in Analog Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deaf-crocodile/analog-adventuresGiles' Mark H.
