Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of Jan. 2111 of 16
Absurdist Awesomeness of the Week
If someone were to create a Venn diagram encompassing masked Mexican-wrestling movies, rubber monsters (Japanese or otherwise), and all of the Rocky movies, the intersection would be the mind-bendingly delightful The Calamari Wrestler. A professional wrestler long thought dead returns unexpectedly in the form of a squid to reclaim his title and his girl. What's not to love? Other intriguing titles in director Minoru Kawasaki's oeuvre include Executive Koala (think American Psycho, but with a man in a koala suit) and The Rug Cop (think "Kojack," but with a lethal toupée).
