Special Report: Simon Glassman on Buffet Infinity (2025)

About this episode

Mike interviews Simon Glassman about his debut film Buffet Infinity, a horror-comedy that explores themes of community and consumption.

Mike talks with Simon Glassman, the writer-director of the 2025 Canadian horror-comedy Buffet Infinity, a feature debut that premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival to instant cult acclaim. Buffet Infinity takes place in the fictional Alberta town of Westridge County, where an all-you-can-eat restaurant chain arrives alongside a mysterious sinkhole and begins swallowing the local community whole — literally and figuratively. The film is constructed almost entirely from mock television commercials and news bulletins, building its cosmic horror narrative through the grammar of low-budget local advertising.
