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 classic Videodrome.
 
Nick and Chris are joined by filmmaker Dineta Williams-Trigg for 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.
