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.

Episodes

Bob Roberts (1992) 02.11.2020

Our second pre-election film is Bob Roberts, Tim Robbins's mockumentary about a conservative folk singer turned senatorial candidate. It was way too close to reality. GO VOTE. Panelists: Jack, Dusty, Matt

A Face in the Crowd (1957) 31.10.2020

The first film in our political double feature is the very cynical and very Trumpian A Face in the Crowd, a movie that stars an evil Andy Griffith. Give it a listen, but first, GO VOTE. Panelists: Doug, Dusty, Tim

Shock Treatment (1981) 28.10.2020

For our final Halloween offering, the panel is subjected to the Rocky Horror "equal" Shock Treatment and finds it about as painful as its namesake procedure. We do, however, enjoy some of the songs, some of the cast, and some of the big, fabulous hats. Panelists: Jess, Eric, Catie

Dead Alive (1992) 21.10.2020

We kick ass for the Lord in our new entry on Dead Alive . Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, we recommend avoiding hefty meals and wafer thin mints before a viewing, lest you'll be vomiting like Mr. Creosote. Panelists: Steve, Fabs, Ryan

Summer of 84 (2018) 14.10.2020

Our third spooky viewing is the recent film Summer of 84, which is like Stranger Things if David Fincher directed it. Enjoy! Panelists: Eric, Nate, Tim

Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made (2018) 07.10.2020

Our next Halloween selection is Antrum, a mockumentary about a cursed film deadlier than COVID. You'll gasp, you'll cry, you'll question if some dogs in fact go to Hell. Panelists: Jimmy, Tim

Magic (1978) 01.10.2020

For our first Halloween offering, we examine Richard Attenborough's Magic, a film which stars a spry Anthony Hopkins at the tender age of 41. We also question if the ventriloquist profession is inherently evil. Panelists: Nate, Tim, Eric

The Mexican (2001) 24.09.2020

Our panel takes a look at The Mexican, Gore Verbinski's Brad Pitt/Julia Roberts team up that had them only minimally teaming up. Recommended for fans of James Gandolfini, haunted guns, and bad J.K. Simmons wigs. Panelists: Jimmy, Doug, Eric

Strings (2004) 22.09.2020

A little-known epic fantasy film is our choice this go-round, one which features an all-marionette cast - it's all puppets, all the time. And brace yourselves for puppet slavery, puppet genocide, and puppet sex. Panelists: Eric, Jess, Jack

PCU (1994) 17.09.2020

We take a look at this underrated college flick that could have been released last year with virtually no changes, but was instead released 26 years ago and then promptly put in a vault that only Eastern European streaming sites have access to. Panelists: Steve, Fabs

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) 15.09.2020

John Carpenter's seminal genre mashup gets the spotlight in this episode where we discuss his career, the politics inherent to the film, and the badass main theme. Panelists: MJ

Winnie the Pooh (2011) 10.09.2020

We venture into the Hundred Acre Wood for the delightful 2011 film Winnie the Pooh, a movie that probably showed in six theaters for about a week before being wiped from the face of the Earth by the hand of God. Panelists: Tim, Jack, Jess

Leonard Part 6 (1987) 06.09.2020

With our first episode, we look at former comedian and current monster Bill Cosby's infamous 1987 spy spoof Leonard Part 6. Come for the dance fighting, stay for the food, then leave - we have another event booked. Panelists: Eric, Ryan
