Don’t You Forget About The Weird Kidz…. Life Can Be Full of Regrets Afterwards!

When The Weird Kidz knows what it wants to be in its EC Comics style movie poster, everything else about this animated nightmare coming to life simply falls into place!

After the summer Embrace the Weird Tour, the gang is ready for what’s next, a theatrical run and now streaming on your favourite service.

Now out on VOD is The Weird Kidz, an animated film that feels like The Breakfast Club meets Them! No detention brings these kids together. They’re heading past the highway and into the dark desert just to get away. Whatever’s in the air, they’re going to find out. There will be things to stop them cold and make them scream, “Is this heaven or hell?”

Okay, I’m being vague to avoid spoiling the story. High-school rebel Wyatt (Ellar Coltrane) and his girlfriend Mary (Sydney Wharton) might think they’re getting some private time, but that isn’t the case. Along for the ride are Dug (Tess Passero), Wyatt’s younger brother, and his pals Fatt (Brian Ceely) and Mel (Glenn Bolton). A few of these lads take an interest in Mary too. They’re at that awkward stage of growing up, but thankfully she can mostly keep them at bay.  Continue reading “Don’t You Forget About The Weird Kidz…. Life Can Be Full of Regrets Afterwards!”

The Fox Is Fur-Real: Mix Romance with the Supernatural and Nobody’s Safe!

A talking fox promises to fix Nick’s love life, but getting exactly what he wants comes with sinister consequences. Dario Russo’s The Fox mixes a strong cast, surreal humour and supernatural meddling into one of the oddest parables I’ve seen brought to life.

Played at Toronto After Dark Festival on. Oct 18th, at the Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre

Dario Russo‘s hell-bent-for-leather feature debut, The Fox, has to be one of the oddest parables I’ve ever seen brought to life. After a documentary-style introduction narrated by Olivia Colman (Paddington in Peru), who also voices the titular animal, we meet Nick (Jai Courtney), a fox catcher who helps his father look after their rural property in the Australian outback. But that’s not quite where the film begins. Instead, the narrator suggests that any animal living out there might love to be human for a day, if not longer. After seeing how these people behave, I wonder if they’d reconsider!

Nick’s relationship with Kori (Emily Browning) is going nowhere, even after he proposes marriage. He thinks everything is fine, but she’s deeply unhappy and secretly sleeping with Derek (Damon Herriman), the husband of her best friend Diana (Claudia Doumit). It’s a messy arrangement, and Nick is the last person to recognize just how doomed his romantic future might be.

Oh the Irony! Dead Media on VOD is Coming Sooner Than You Think!

Who needs a haunted DVD and zombie mayhem when Dead Media on VOD does it all? Namely, a reminder of why physical media still matters.

Dead Media on VOD Movie PosterComing to Prime Video, YouTube, Fandango, and Moonbeem.

With Dead Media on VOD, you’ll be glad watching it on demand won’t cost anyone their soul! This fun throwback reminds audiences why home releases matter. You can read my review here. With VHS, mixtapes and vinyl making a comeback among those who feel the future isn’t friendly, perhaps it’s time to revisit what these formats offer. As long as they’re not cursed!

That’s what Maggie and her friends face when her uncle visits and insists they watch Night of the Lurchers on disc instead of through a streaming service. Watching it digitally feels rather ironic given the story, but it’s still a hoot and a holler for those who love their zombie movies with a meaningful narrative.

DreamWorks’ Forgotten Island is ready to be found again on both online and home platforms! And this time, it brings folklore to the front!

Forgotten Island Blu-Ray CoverDigital Release: October 27, 2026

It seems that reactions are really divided between fans and critics concerning DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island. Overall, despite a few questionable choices, I enjoyed this film. My movie review can be read here. And with it coming to digital and home video, I can check for those easter eggs, find what’s important with freeze frame, and study the extras.

As for the 4K UHD, Blu-ray™ and DVD release, where there’s more value for your buck and better bit rates, that’s Dec 1, 2026 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Both releases offer 60 minutes of exclusive bonus content, and that’s important to know.

Exclusive features include:

Welcome to the FUN HOUSE: Atomic Vaudeville’s Halloween Spectacle

Step right up, ladies, gentleman, for Atomic Vaudeville’s annual Spooktacular! FUN HOUSE you say? Welcome to a history of tradition, and come what may if you dare enter….

Atomic Vaudeville’s Halloween spectacular FUN HOUSE
Tickets can be bought in advance here. Limited tickets at the door.

The theatre company Atomic Vaudeville has been a Victoria, BC, institution since 2004. For those in the know, it is also a place where emerging local talent can find mentorship and opportunities to hone their skills. Some performers have graduated from the Canadian College of Performing Arts; others, I honestly don’t know. But when the team gathers to create its annual Halloween show, I take notice!

This year’s FUN HOUSE sounded like one I had to check out. Although I don’t get to see Atomic Vaudeville every year, I’ve followed with interest ever since 2016. It’s not only because certain luminaries honed their craft here and moved on to establish careers of their own but also they have other events throughout the years.

There’s Mike Delamont (God Is a Scottish Drag Queen), Wes Borg, the comic musician who co-founded Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie before joining the Atomic Vaudeville team, Ingrid Hansen, the puppeteer known for her work on the Fraggle Rock revival, and Trevor Hinton, an actor who appeared in Bones of Crows. The latter is amazing because I’ve seen him perform in numerous genre shows over the years.

A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth Brings The Ultimate Lovecraftian Miniature Collection to Kickstarter

Questron’s ZombieMania brings more than 400 Lovecraftian character miniatures to Kickstarter with A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth. The campaign offers individual hobbyists an opportunity to obtain the digital files for personal use.

Questron Sculpting Company logoNow Live on Kickstarter!

The Spanish 3D sculpting company Questron‘s ZombieMania has launched A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth on Kickstarter, and the campaign has already met its funding goal. As for which township is the nicer place to live, only the buyers will know!

Interest in the collection reflects the appeal of character models, which are often hidden behind larger boxed sets. This collection shifts the focus to where it counts, offering more than 400 character miniatures as 31mm STL files for 3D printing. As for where to get them after the campaign ends, only time will tell and if the company changes their plans.

The project also has a commercial objective. While the Kickstarter gives individual backers an opportunity to obtain the digital files for personal use, Questron’s primary goal is to connect with online and physical retailers interested in expanding their miniature ranges. According to the studio, the models will not be available for personal-use purchase after the campaign.

Future availability through its own store will be restricted to commercial licences.

Can you introduce the company, its history, the artists involved, and the goals behind this project?

Sample CharactersWe are Questron, a sculpting studio with 15 years of experience creating models for game developers. You can see examples of our work in our Facebook albums page.

For some time, we have also been releasing our own creations through another Kickstarter account, Generic Miniatures. We have now decided to give our horror figures their own identity and a separate Kickstarter account, ZombieMania. Arkham and Innsmouth is part of this new venture.

The studio’s main objective is to connect with online and physical shops that want to add its figures to their product ranges. The campaign also gives individual backers an opportunity to obtain the digital miniatures for personal use.
