Description

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.
