"Weird View Crew" maestro "Penguin" Pete Trbovich takes the co-host chair this week to talk with Greg about the week's news and releases. Discussion topics include David Lynch getting rejected by Netflix yet again; Julia "Titane" Ducournau's just-announced "Alpha"; Quentin Dupieux's "Daaaaaali!" has an American distributor; "Megalopolis" releases its first teaser clip; Don Hertzfeld's "It's Such a Beautiful Day" tours the country with a new musical short; the 1961 post-apocalyptic oddity "Time of the Heathens" gets a rerelease; barbarian gender-bender "She is Conann" comes to home video; "Altered Perceptions" does the same; and a low-budget British horror about a cursed play called "Katernica" shows up on VOD and Blu-ray.

Writer/director Richard Burgin joins Giles Edwards and Terri "Goregirl" McSorley in this episode to talk about his rat-bitten 2022 psychological horror indie "Fang." But first, the trio run through the week's news and new releases, starting with Jane Schoenbrun's Sundance hit, "I Saw the TV Glow," in theaters now; the sexy psychedelic 60s cult hit "Barbarella" on 4K UHD; a special edition release of Frank Henenlotter's gory "Basket Case"; the "perversely poetic" and criminally underseen surrealist noir "Singapore Sling," finally available to Americans on Blu-ray; a Blu-ray release of the German art-horror "Time of Moulting" (2020); a pair of strange-looking underground-type physical media releases in "The Absence of Milk in the Mouths of the Lost" and "Jobe'z World"; and finally, late-breaking news about Panos Cosmatos' latest movie, an L.A.-set vampire flick starring Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac entitled "Flesh of the Gods" (in pre-production). And stay tuned to the end for a restaurant recommendation in St. Louis.

Acidemic's Erich Kuersten joins Giles and Greg to discuss the week's weird movie news and releases. On the agenda: upcoming feature "She Loved Blossoms More" acquired by Yellow Veil; something odd called "Altered Perceptions" is out now; and physical media releases of "Goodbye Uncle Tom," "Nostalghia," rollinades "The Nude Vampire" and "Demoniacs," "I Am Cuba" from Criterion, and Lars von Trier's complete "The Kingdom" trilogy. It ends abruptly, but all that you miss is that Giles will be joined by Terri "Goregirl" McSorley next week to interview director Richard Burgin about his movie "Fang" (2022) (and next week's releases).

Giles and Greg discuss the week's weird movie news and releases, starting with a preview of a weirdly full Cannes slate (which will be debuting features from Coppola, Lanthimos, Cronenberg pere, Maddin, Carax, Dupieux, and Nic Cage, among others, in mid-May). Next up are VOD releases of the horror-comedy "Hanky Panky" and the 366 slapstick fave "Hundreds of Beavers." Finally, we discuss physical media releases of the Orthodox Christian kung fu comedy "The Invisible Fight," and Criterion finally acquiring the rights to Bela Tarr's "The Werckmeister Harmonies."

Greg and Giles run through the week's weird movie news and releases, starting with a mini-review of "Problemista." The main topics covered are the "Art of the Benshi" roadshow (featuring "A Page of Madness"); a teaser trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness" (set to debut June 21); Bertrand Bonello's "The Beast" in theaters; "The People's Joker" in theaters; Quentin Dupieux's "Yannick" debuting on Mubi; a "standard special" Blu-ray edition of the eerie 1973 horror "Messiah of Evil"; and Isabella Rossellini's belated reaction to Roger Ebert's negative review of "Blue Velvet."

Giles and El Rob Hubbard take you through the week's new releases (Greg takes the week off). They discuss Alice Rohrwacher's art-house theatrical release "La Chimera"; Luc Besson's thriller "DogMan"; a steelbook release of the beloved "Amelie"; the crazy Hungarian animation "Bubble Bath," on physical media for the first time; the 1970s ant-apocalypse cult sci-fi "Phase IV," on Blu-ray (and 4K UHD) for the first time in North America; the Adams family's "Where the Devil Roams"; and a brief mention of something called "Stice's Satyricon."

Our second game show! Can you beat Greg's score in guessing movie posters as described by Giles? (No, you probably can't, but you can play along anyway.) Before we bring on the contestants, Giles and Greg run through the week's most-anticipated new releases: the quirky immigrant comedy "Problemista"; the talk show exorcism of "Late Night with the Devil"; the neo-fairytale "Riddle of Fire"; and the arrival of "Lynch/Oz" on Blu-ray.

It's our most abrupt ending ever! In this episode Greg loses track of time as he and Giles run through the week's weird rumors and releases, including Guy Maddin's "Rumours," Emile Hirsh's "State of Consciousness," the theatrical rerelease of "Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion" (1997), big wins and a Blu-ray release for "Poor Things." We end with a rushed analysis of the 60s cult film "The President's Analyst," finally appearing on Blu-ray.
