Uncanny Cinema is your home for the obscure, the bizarre, the unloved, the overlooked, and the underappreciated in film. We cover all genres but focus on films off the beaten path as we highlight oddities, champion obscurities, and marvel at the projects that somehow came to be. Discussions include spoilers, but the next cinematic treasure on our list is announced at the close of each episode, so feel free to follow along at home.

Sometimes a Great Notion (1971) 13.09.2023

The panel struggles to not give a inch while watching Sometimes a Great Notion, the under-seen 1970s Paul Newman drama adapted from the Ken Kesey novel. Strap tight. Panelists: Jimmy, Jack

Adventures in Dinosaur City (1991) 06.06.2023

Saturday's Warrior (1989) 12.04.2023

April Fools' Day Switcheroo - A League of Their Own (1992) 31.03.2023

Our annual April Fools' Day Switcheroo actually coincides with Tom Hanks Day surprisingly enough, and we lucked out because we looked at the wonderful film A League of Their Own, featuring him, Geena Davis, and Lori Petty. A true sports film masterclass. Panelists: Jess, Jack, Zac

Skins (2017) 29.03.2023

The panel gets pushed to their limits with 2017's Skins, an odd Spanish film that must be seen to be believed... though you may be better off doubting its existence. Panelists: David, Jack, Eric

RRR (2022) 15.03.2023

The panel takes a look at international phenomenon RRR, the tiger-fighting, bridge-swinging, piggyback-riding, motorcycle-hefting motion picture like none other you've ever seen. Panelists: Doug, Devin, Eric

We round out our unexpected "Mall Santa Trilogy" with the final and most fun entry in the Silent Night, Deadly Night series, looking at Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker. It's weird, it's wild, and it has a Robo Mickey Rooney. Merry Christmas! Panelists: Jack, Eric

Toys (1992) 07.12.2022

The panel revisits Toys, the bizarre, whimsical, dark, and quite festive movie featuring Robin Williams, Michael Gambon, and the powerhouse that is LL Cool J. Panelists: Ryan, Matt

Escape to Victory (1981) 23.11.2022

In honor of the World Cup, we look at the lesser-known film Escape to Victory, featuring the Michael Caine/Sylvester Stallone matchup we always wanted, with both of them playing World War II soccer like we always dreamed. Panelists: Chris, David

Radio Flyer (1992) 09.11.2022

We look at Radio Flyer, the strange, dark, and often beautiful film that surely made for some awkward family movie nights in the '90s. Panelists: Jack, Eric, Doug

Exists (2014) 19.10.2022

Our next Halloween offering is the found footage Bigfoot film Exists by one of the Blair Witch creators. We examine the effects, ways it plays with the genre, stand your ground laws, and more. Panelists: Jason, Ryan, Tim

The Company of Wolves (1984) 12.10.2022

The Company of Wolves, based on the works of Angela Carter, is our focus for this Halloween entry, and we take stock of the sets, stellar practical effects, Dame Angela Lansbury, and some very good boys. Panelists: Jack, Colin G

The Keep (1983) 05.10.2022

Michael Mann's bizarre horror fantasy The Keep is the focus of our second Halloween episode of the year, a dreamlike and meandering film that somehow makes monsters and Nazis boring. Panelists: Jimmy, Nathan, David

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004) 28.09.2022

Greetings, travelers. We kick off spooky season with the comedic masterpiece Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, a short-lived British series that's garnered quite the cult following. Panelists: Ryan, Steve, Jack
