Yes,
yes, Long Live the New Flesh and all that. We've all heard the
catch-phrases, but really stand back and look at how weird this
movie is, especially considering it was released by a major
Hollywood studio. David Cronenberg is unleashed for the 1983
sci-fi/horror cult classicVideodrome.
Nick
and Chris are joined by filmmakerDineta
Williams-Triggfor this
rollocking mind-fuck of a film. It's James Woods back when he was
still charming; it's Debbie Harry at her most ethereal beauty; it's
stomach vaginas and cathode-ray intestines. It's Cronenberg going
full Cronenberg.
You'll have to forgive us if we don't stay around to
watch. We just can't cope with the real freaky stuff.
