A teenage boy struggles balancing his father's imminent death, hanging out with his crew of macho delinquent buddies on the boardwalk, and the challenges of his first serious girlfriend with his hobby of meeting up with older men he meets on a sleazy gay video chat site. Beautifully acted and ultra-realist, it's one of those movies that probably really resonates if you're a gay male, but can be slow going for anyone else.

Street Trash 2024
The mayor of Cape Town has developed an aerosolized spray to melt the city's homeless population. This remake of the 1987 underground cult classic is equally gross and absurd but less nihilistic, focused instead on the hobos as a likable community fighting government oppression. It doesn't make a lot of sense and jumps around a good bit, but it's full of action, gore, drug abuse, and weird little asides (one character has an imaginary friend only he can see, a blue puppet with a foul mouth).

After Last Season 2009
A pair of med students who may have psychic abilities stumble onto a serial killer, or something like that, in this strong candidate for the worst feature length film ever made. Between the baffled actors reciting bewildering dialogue, sheets of paper taped to walls to identify sets, and the crude trial software animation used to bring the characters' mental visualizations to life, it's like listening to your dullest friend relate his strangest dream. A film to watch because it exists and for no other reason.

Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway 2019
A CIA agent (who also happens to be a hunchbacked dwarf and pizza connoisseur) accepts a mission to go into "Psychobook" to combat the virus "Stalin" released by the Soviet Union. Meet the President of Ethiopia (a kung fu supervillain) and Jesus himself inside this virtual reality world which is itself nestled in an alternate reality where the Cold War never ended, and technology is simultaneously stuck in the 1990s and decades ahead of where we are today. You've never seen anything quite like this absurdist psychological thriller/camp comedy. It's a real-deal next-generation cult movie waiting in the wings.
