Eddie is waist deep in getting his kids back to school, so Scott brings in the podcast's first ever guest to help out: Adam Kautzer, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of themovieisle.com. They discuss their favorite films from the 2026 Fantasia International Film Festival including one release that's already available on streaming. So break out the notes section on your phone or a good old-fashioned paper journal to jot down some of the best genre films from across the globe that will headed toward your eyeballs in the months to come.

Force Majeure can be found on Amazon Prime, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Philo, Hoopla and various VOD outlets.

Good Manners can be found on Kanopy, Tubi, Philo, Ovid and various VOD outlets.

Nightborn can be found exclusively on Shudder and AMC+.

Remember that streaming contracts come and go, so when in doubt, consult the JustWatch app for the up-to-the-minute whereabouts of the Needles mentioned on the show. (No. JustWatch isn't a sponsor. We just love their app.)

You can reach Scott and Eddie at theneedlefilmpodcast@gmail.com with your questions or suggestions for Needles they should discuss on future episodes.

Thanks to songwriter Burt Perryman for the theme for the Needle and the various music bumpers that were taken from his song "Faded Memory" with his express permission.
