But first, we talk about what&#39;s new in the world of weird movies, starting with Tom Cruise-fronted &quot;Digger,&quot; an Oscar hopeful with some degree of &quot;Megalopolis&quot; energy, as well as the &quot;Donnie Darko&quot; re-release, in theaters only from Oct 2-4. The week&#39;s physical media releases are led off by a Blu-ray of the channel-surfing absurdist feature &quot;Buffet Infinity,&quot; a trove of Studio Ghibli steelbooks (with a digression to talk about the underrated &quot;Porco Rosso&quot;), the new 3-movie Leos Carax collection from the Criterion Collection, a 4K upgrade for Norman Jewison&#39;s &quot;Jesus Christ Superstar,&quot; and a Something Weird/AGFA archival double feature of &quot;The Acid Eaters&quot; paired with obscurity &quot;Space Thing.&quot;</p>
