Podcasts about Cronenberg

It's been a year since his last episode, so what's artist Dmitry Samarov been up to? Plenty! We talk about his new project of redesigning and illustrating public domain books, why he started off with the White Whale itself, and why Babbitt! was next in line, what the common themes are among the six books he's illustrated since this project began, and how it all ties into his reaction to the 2024 election. We get into what it's like working with publishers after controlling his own books for years, how he discovered James Hogg's The Suicide's Grave on SOME OTHER PODCAST (okay, it was Beyond The Zero), how he's exploring visual interpretation and different tools with each book, and how this project has him reading and rereading differently than he used to. We also talk about how he looks back at his art in the wake of his self-monograph, how he got into a relationship with someone after a long time solo (after a showing of why Cronenberg's not-good The Shrouds), what other books he's considering illustrating, his new series of 'zines about bookselling, the joy of Moby Dick's tangents, and more.

David Cronenberg's 'Videodrome' remains a shockingly prescient vision of the world we're living in now: technology overlords using computerized developments for their own nefarious means...except in the case of 1983 Toronto, personal enrichment isn't the end game: elimination of the freaks and geeks is. Featuring a tour-de-force performance from James Woods and an impressive commitment to allowing viewers to experience the unfolding story as it happens to Woods' Max Renn, the film also has a hauntingly simple and utterly perfect score by frequent Cronenberg collaborator  Howard Shore.

Claire and Gavia delve into David Cronenberg's fascinating erotic thriller Crash, starring James Spader as a man who develops a fetish for car crashes. Divisive and controversial when it first came out in 1996, it's now regarded as one of Cronenberg's greatest films, celebrated for its peculiar characters and unique brand of sexuality.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 16, 2025] Writer and director David Cronenberg's new film "The Shrouds" is partly inspired from the grief of losing his wife in recent years. The film follows a grieving businessman named Karsh who invents a way to connect with the dead. Cronenberg discusses, alongside actor Diane Kruger, who stars in the film. "The Shrouds" is now streaming on the Criterion Channel.

Welcome to the season finale of our Influential Horror Director Series! In this episode, we're diving deep into the strange, squishy, and utterly unforgettable world of David Cronenberg — one of the most influential horror film directors of all time.From Videodrome to The Fly, Scanners to Crash, Cronenberg carved out an entirely new subgenre: body horror. We'll talk about the way his films explore transformation, disease, technology, sexuality, and the terrifying ways our own bodies can betray us. Expect discussions of gooey practical effects, his signature psychological underpinnings, and the themes that continue to inspire generations of filmmakers.But it's not all academic! We also bring our usual blend of humor and horror-geek enthusiasm. Along the way, you'll get:Our favorite David Cronenberg movies and why they still hold upInsights into how his themes reshaped horror and sci-fiMemorable Cronenberg quotes and WTF momentsReflections on the entire Influential Director Series (and a tease of what's next!)Whether you're a longtime Cronenberg fan or just body-horror-curious, this is the perfect episode to wrap up the season.Listen now and join the conversation!

La nuova carne... DeGenerando summer procede a vele spiegate nel riproporvi monografie di grandi registi e questa volta tocca a David Cronengerg. Canadese e da sempre capace di proporre un cinema diverso, innovativo, spesso disturbante e sempre ricco di suggestioni, Cronenberg ha segnato in maniera indelebile la settima arte, arrivando a toccare vette di lirismo capaci di lasciarci a bocca aperta.

Today we're reviewing Scanners (1981) — David Cronenberg's cult classic about mind control, psychic battles, and one of the most shocking special effects scenes in horror history.Released in 1981, Scanners tells the story of Cameron Vale (played by Stephen Lack), a man with powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities who is recruited by a mysterious corporation to hunt down other psychics — known as “scanners.” But things take a dark turn when he faces off against the menacing Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside), a rogue scanner with deadly ambitions.Known for its unforgettable exploding head scene, Scanners has become a cornerstone of Cronenberg's career, blending science fiction, body horror, and paranoia. The film explores themes of corporate control, government experiments, and the dangers of psychic power — all wrapped up in eerie atmosphere and practical effects that still hold up today.If you're a fan of 80s horror, cult classics, or Cronenberg's unique brand of body horror, this episode is for you!

We revisited the erotic thriller with a Cronenberg twist, Crash, today on Between the Sheets!

The new horror film, "Together," starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco, focuses on a struggling relationship and features Cronenberg-levels of body horror ...but it has also been marketed as a date movie. This year has featured lots of films that eschew the typical formula of a date movie. Guest host Scott Pukos and his panel of movie lovers will explore this trend — is it just marketing or are audiences craving something beyond the standard rom-com?Our guests: Sarah Antao, rom-com expert and teaching staff member at the Focus Theater Roemer Johansson, copywriter and member of the Little Theatre Roberto Lagares, multimedia reporter for CITY Magazine Adam Lubitow, projectionist and programmer at the Little Theatre and programming director for Anomaly: The Rochester Genre Film Festival Dave Palmer, film critic for the Greater Western New York Film Critics Association (GWNYFCA)

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972), Deathdream (1974), Black Christmas (1974) Director Bob Clark will probably always be remembered for his now classic holiday film, A Christmas Story (1983), released the same year as his previous film, Porky's, which is one of the raunchiest sex comedies of that era! But he started off making horror films, 3 of them in particular, before he moved on to making films in just about every other sub-genre. As you can imagine, it is these 3 horror films that we are going to discuss on this episode. One of them set many of the standards of what would be known as a slasher film, while the others have two very different take on zombies. All made on low to moderate budgets, but still are still so well made, it's a shame that Clark didn't continue on in the horror genre. Maybe that's why he's not remembered as much as names like Carpenter, Cronenberg, or Craven. And that's why we're discussing it now! Films mentioned in this episode: Baby Geniuses (1999), Black Christmas (1974), Black Christmas (2006), Black Christmas (2019), Blood Orgy of the She-Devils (1973), Born on the 4th of July (1989), The Brood (1979), Cat People (1982), Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972), A Christmas Story (1983), Deathdream (1974), Deranged (1974), Duel (1971), Halloween (1978), Hereditary (2018), Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964), Jaws (1975), Last House on the Left (1972), Murder by Decree (1979), Popcorn (1991), Porky's (1981), Porky's II: The Next Day (1983), Prom Night (1980), Return of the Living Dead (1985)

En este episodio exploramos el cuerpo como campo de batalla simbólico, desde los grabados oscuros y viscerales de Francisco de Goya hasta la carne mutante de David Cronenberg. ¿Qué nos dice el arte sobre el dolor, la identidad y la violencia cuando el cuerpo deja de ser un mero soporte físico y se convierte en un territorio político, psicológico y metafísico? A través de una lectura crítica que conecta historia del arte, filosofía y cine, nos adentramos en un viaje donde la carne habla, grita, se transforma y se rebela. De Foucault a Abramović, de lo grotesco a lo sublime.

Just so ya know, our Pick the Flick tier is back on so you can give us some scratch to choose our Frame Rate topics.

In this episode, we dive into three of 2025's most provocative and stylistically distinct films—Friendship, The Phoenician Scheme, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds. While wildly different in tone and genre, these films share an undercurrent of paranoia, grief, and fractured connection in the modern age.We begin with Friendship, a quiet yet emotionally raw exploration of human bonds strained by time, trauma, and unspoken truths. Then we unpack the labyrinthine mystery of The Phoenician Scheme, a neo-noir political thriller that channels Cold War conspiracies into a stylish, cerebral puzzle about control and deception. Finally, we close with The Shrouds, Cronenberg's return to techno-horror, where mourning and surveillance intertwine in disturbing ways.From character breakdowns and thematic analysis to directorial styles and visual storytelling, we explore how these films challenge our ideas of intimacy, mortality, and trust in an increasingly disconnected world.Tune in for a deep dive into cinema's darker corners—and the ghosts we carry with us.Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Long live the new flesh! Wythe and Chris are back with Evan on Left of the Projector for another film discussion. This time we dissect David Cronenberg's 1983 body horror / tech and sex anxiety classic, VIDEODROME! From Left of the Projector – In this episode, I join Chris and Wythe from the Why We Roll Podcast to analyze David Cronenberg's cult classic Videodrome. We explore its themes of technology, media, and the human condition, discussing the film's initial reception and rise to cult status. We examine the character of Max Ren, played by James Woods, and the male gaze's implications on sexuality and power dynamics, as well as the film's philosophical layers surrounding identity. We also consider Cronenberg's body horror elements as metaphors for existential dilemmas, particularly as Max navigates the influence of Videodrome. The conversation draws parallels between the film and contemporary media technologies, questioning whether they enhance or diminish our humanity. We conclude by reflecting on the lasting impact of Videodrome and its relevance in today's media landscape.

This week we're joined by Halle Kiefer, comedy writer and co-host of the podcast Ruined for another trip north to Canada for a look at the formative years of David Cronenberg. We're watching Rabid, starring Marilyn Chambers, famous for her appearance in the 70's adult film hit, Behind The Green Door. Here Cronenberg runs up against a minor moral panic when a film critic questions the government's willingness to fund his films. Marilyn Chambers pushes back against a studio system that can't find the courage to cast an actress from adult films in a major studio release. A woman receives an emergency skin graft that somehow transforms into a phallic proboscis in her armpit that feeds her like a vampire and spreads a new form of rabies which turns its victims into enraged zombies that will stop at nothing to kill everything that moves.Cronenberg is still figuring it out in this movie which despite its outrageous premise and lurid stunt-casting, could be seen as a meditation on the rise of second-wave feminism, his place in that world, and his impact on that movement as a man trying to navigate the changing world.

LexG reviews some of the summer's biggest movies, including F1: The Movie, Jurassic World Rebirth, 28 Years Later, and Megan 2.0, as well as Charlize Theron in The Old Guard 2 for streaming, and a couple of smaller picks in Cronenberg's The Shrouds and Celine Song's Materialists.

Imagine it's 1993, and Hollywood is dominated by iconic TV shows and movies like Beavis and Butthead, Power Rangers, and Jurassic Park. Amid this, there's a fascinating story about a film that was never made—David Cronenberg's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In this episode of 'That Was Pretty Scary,' Jon Lee Brody delves into Cronenberg's unique vision, which aimed to honor Shelley's legacy by focusing on real human emotions like grief and shame. Despite his compelling approach, Cronenberg's Frankenstein never came to fruition due to a lack of studio backing. Join us as we explore what could have been, compare it to existing adaptations, and even speculate on casting choices. This thought-provoking episode reimagines a lost cinematic masterpiece while paying homage to one of horror's most influential stories.

Beach House Breakdown, Vagina Dentata, & Cronenberg's Sex Parasites – Horror Hangout from HellWhat do a Cthulhu beach vacation, vagina dentata, and horny parasitic zombies have in common? We have no idea. But it's Josh's birthday, so come with us as we shuffle through all this goo and try to find out. The dudes dive headfirst into The Beach House (dir. Jeffrey A. Brown), a Lovecraft-lite flick that tries to spook you with fog, foot worms, and... astrobiology? James has ocean-walking dreams, Justin forgets the movie he's supposed to talk about, Derick gets mad that nobody in horror knows how to wear pants during a crisis, and Josh may in fact be Tubi's shadow CEO. We also take a deep bite into Teeth (dir. Mitchell Lichtenstein), where John Hensley from Nip/Tuck plays the most cartoonishly incestuous dirtbag this side of Cinemax. There are dog attacks, dick rings, and a whole lot of trauma wrapped up in a “quirky” indie revenge horror. A24 remake incoming? Probably. Then it's over to David Cronenberg's Shivers aka They Came from Within aka Orgy of the Blood Parasites, where 70s Canadian sex monsters spread the infection one creepy assault at a time. Oh, and apparently Cronenberg thought those guys were the heroes of the story. Yeah. Sketch. Along the way, the crew debates whether stoned vision grants access to cosmic jellyfish goo, how many dicks need to be bitten off before justice is served, and how Lovecraftian horror and edible gummies mix like oil and haunted ocean water.Movies discussed:The Beach House (2020) – Directed by Jeffrey A.

Chris Wasser reviews Jurassic World and Cronenberg's The Shrouds, while Fionnuala Jones has the latest showbiz stories.After the sad passing of Michael Madsen and the creative change-up for the next season of The Last Of Us, there's plenty in the news to discuss (and plenty of wine to taste.)Listen here.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes step into the quiet, brutal world of "A History of Violence" (2005), directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen.Mike Field brings the praise; this is his favorite Cronenberg film. Mike Butler? Not so much. While the film's tight runtime and strong performances are appreciated on both sides, the impact of the violence doesn't quite land for Butler the way it does Field and apparently everyone else. Is that a product of time and increased violence in cinema? The Mikes dig into Cronenberg's themes, the stripped-down approach to storytelling, and it's themes about the pervasive nature of violence still resonate 20 years later.What's your favorite Cronenberg film? Let us know in the comments below!

This is an obscure one, but you true film geeks know it well.  For the uninitiated, it's the movie where the guy makes out with his television set and sticks a VHS tape in his stomach.  Given that this guy is played by a typically wired James Woods, not too unusual.  Throw in Debbie Harry and some S&M, and we've got ourselves a true masterwork here.  We even get to see Blondie "in the flesh".  Or is it "the new flesh"?  Plenty of trippy, mind-bending special effects, trademark Cronenberg "body horror" and a timely theme of people getting obsessed and losing their minds staring at videos.  Even if you've already lost yours, feel free to listen to this cool podcast.  But, careful...it bites. 

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2005 film A History of Violence. David Cronenberg adapts the graphic novel by John Wagner about a small town family man who becomes a local hero after killing two men during an armed robbery. This gets the attention of a mob boss who believes Tom is a man with a violent past. Beast mode performances by Viggo Mortenson, Ed Harris, and William Hurt elevate A History of Violence into epic territory.Other topics include Viggo's career post-Lord of the Rings, Cronenberg's filmography, best Ed Harris and William Hurt performances, Brad Pitt and sports movies, plus Ripley and the history of the character from Patricia Highsmith's novel.Songs of the WeekVoicemail by Meat WaveSave Me by Aimee MannDear John by Aimee MannRemainders Podcast Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

This episode wraps up a trifecta of Stephen King adaptations, as we review 1983's THE DEAD ZONE, which has quite the pedigree, Cronenberg! Walken! King! The movie also features Martin Sheen as a corrupt, dangerously opportunistic politician who exploits populism to gain authoritarian power and could hold the fate of the world in his hands if he isn't stopped.

We're diving into the resurgence of the pronatalism movement, the belief that having more babies will save a failing civilization. With new Trump-backed policies promising "baby bonuses" and even a "National Medal of Motherhood," pronatalists are warning that falling U.S. birth rates could mean economic collapse, or even extinction. Sociologist Dr. Karen Guzzo and NPR reporter Lisa Hagen join us to unpack the motivations behind this growing movement.Also, we'll talk with author Daria Burke. She spent several years digging into the science of how our brains and bodies carry the imprint of early experiences. She wanted to understand the trauma of her childhood.

THE SHROUDS MOVIE REVIEW David Cronenberg does not make normal movies. This is a given. But the question always is going into one, what KIND of abnormal is this gonna be? With The Shrouds, Cronenberg directs one of his most personal films, perhaps a conduit for his grief after the death of his wife. Vincent […]

Sean and Amanda briefly react to some Oscars news, including a rule requiring Academy members to watch the movies and the details surrounding the new Casting and Achievement in Stunt Design award (1:34). Then, for the first time, they play the Summer Movie Preview Game, in which they predict the box office and Metacritic score for every major summer movie release in 2025 (16:27). Later, Sean is joined by Adam Nayman to give a brief “state of the movies” before discussing David Cronenberg's newest body horror film, ‘The Shrouds.' They talk about its complicated and moving portrayal of grief, praise Vincent Cassel for his excellent performance, and create a “Cronenberg starter pack” for those who aren't very familiar with the director's filmography (1:25:06). Finally, Sean is joined by the great David Cronenberg to discuss ‘The Shrouds.' They talk about his decision to cast Cassel in an unusual and challenging role, why he hates shooting on film and would never return, and his long-term creative collaboration with composer Howard Shore (2:06:43).

Over the decades, David Cronenberg has carved a distinctive and provocative filmography out of his interest in human decay and death, up to and including his new THE SHROUDS, a late-career entry in the writer-director's body-horror canon. It's a film that left some of us confounded in a way that our returning guest, critic Charles Bramesco, might argue is part of its Cronenbergian appeal; but placing it next to THE FLY in Connections clarifies how much it's simply an evolution of the same pet themes Cronenberg has been circling since 1986 (and earlier), from overlapping obsessions with the mutability of bodies and technology, to the horror and guilt of watching a loved one deteriorate before our very eyes. And in Your Next Picture Show, we're inspired to talk over another recent, highly personal project from an elder-statesman auteur that received a mixed reception, and which we never got to cover on the show: Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS. Please share your thoughts about THE FLY, THE SHROUDS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Writer and director David Cronenberg's new film "The Shrouds" is partly inspired from the grief of losing his wife in recent years. The film follows a grieving businessman named Karsh who invents a way to connect with the dead. Cronenberg discusses, alongside actor Diane Kruger, who stars in the film. "The Shrouds" is in New York and Los Angeles theaters on Friday April 18 and nationwide April 25.

The way David Cronenberg's new THE SHROUDS splices together unsettling ideas about technology and bodily transformation made us think of… well, a lot of his filmography, but the film's visceral interest in how the human body decays feels directly connected to the director's unlikeliest hit, his remake of THE FLY. We're joined this week by critic and our nascent “gross and scary” correspondent Charles Bramesco to teleport back to 1986 and examine what lies beneath the rotting flesh of THE FLY, from its tender central relationship to its oozing physical effects to its Howard Shore score, that makes it a distinctly Cronenbergian grossout. Then in Feedback, a listener uses our recent discussion of THE THIN MAN to broach a bigger question about what we value most in our mystery stories.  Please share your thoughts about THE FLY, THE SHROUDS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

"The Shrouds" had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it received mixed reviews but has steadily been growing in appreciation (as all David Cronenberg films do) as it screened at more film festivals, including TIFF and NYFF Film Festivals. The film is Cronenberg's most personal to date as it deals with the grief he went through following the passing of his beloved wife of nearly 40 years. Cronenberg was kind enough to speak with us at the New York Film Festival about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in NY & LA theaters on April 18th before expanding nationwide from Janus Films & Sideshow on April 25th. Thank you, and enjoy!
