Podcasts about Cronenberg

The Monster Squad, Cujo, The Fly, The Others, Jason Goes to Hell, and Lovecraft Country headline this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering August 10 through August 16. As summer horror starts giving way to spooky season, we're beginning the Halloween horror pregame with classic monsters, Stephen King terror, haunted-house mysteries, Jason Voorhees, cosmic horror, rabid-animal survival, and one of David Cronenberg's greatest body-horror transformations. Inside this episode:August 10, 2001 — The Others opens in U.S. theatersNicole Kidman waits inside a fogbound mansion where every curtain must remain closed, every doorway follows a strict ritual, and mysterious footsteps suggest that Grace and her light-sensitive children may not be alone. Alejandro Amenábar builds a gothic ghost story from silence, grief, locked rooms, and competing versions of reality. August 12, 1983 — Cujo opens in U.S. theatersStephen King turns a gentle Saint Bernard into the center of a brutally simple survival nightmare. Dee Wallace and a young child become trapped inside a failing car beneath the blazing summer sun while a rabid dog waits outside and their supposed shelter slowly becomes an oven. August 13, 1993 — Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday opens in U.S. theaters The Friday the 13th franchise blows apart the familiar image of Jason Voorhees and transforms him into a body-hopping demonic force. Family bloodlines, possession horror, temporary human hosts, gruesome transformations, and one unforgettable final tease send Jason into his strange New Line era. August 16, 2020 — Lovecraft Country premieres on HBOMisha Green's supernatural horror series follows Atticus Freeman, Letitia Lewis, and Uncle George across 1950s Jim Crow America, where sundown towns and systemic violence can be as deadly as the ancient creatures waiting in the dark. Cosmic horror, family history, inherited trauma, magic, body horror, and American history collide. Deep-Cut Spotlight — The Monster SquadDracula arrives with the Wolf Man, the Mummy, the Gill Man, and Frankenstein's creature—and the only people prepared to stop them are a group of young horror fans who have spent their lives memorizing monster rules. Directed by Fred Dekker and written by Dekker and Shane Black, The Monster Squad turns fandom into survival training. A German diary must be translated, silver bullets must be tested, an ancient amulet must be protected, and a treehouse club has one night to prevent classic evil from taking control of the world. Funny, adventurous, spooky, and unexpectedly heartfelt, The Monster Squad became a beloved cult horror movie through cable television, home video, and generations of monster kids passing it along to the next generation. It is also perfect viewing for anyone beginning their annual Halloween movie-season pregame.Horror Birthdays This Week: Alfred Hitchcock, Halle Berry, Natasha Henstridge, and James Cameron enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to Psycho, The Birds, Gothika, Dark Tide, Species, Aliens, and some of horror and science-fiction cinema's most memorable killers, creatures, transformations, and survival stories.Weekly Recommendation — The FlyDavid Cronenberg's The Fly celebrates its 40th anniversary with a story that remains romantic, disgusting, funny, tragic, and profoundly human. Jeff Goldblum plays scientist Seth Brundle, whose revolutionary teleportation experiment goes horribly wrong when an unnoticed fly enters the pod beside him. The machine combines their genetic material, beginning a physical transformation that neither science, intelligence, nor love can reverse. With Geena Davis as journalist Veronica Quaife, Academy Award-winning makeup effects, unforgettable body horror, and a devastating central relationship, The Fly remains one of the defining horror movies of the 1980s—and an essential addition to any early Halloween horror watchlist. Plus, Weekly Spooky returns Wednesday with another original horror story, followed by more terrifying history, strange mysteries, horror movie discussion, and unexplained broadcasts throughout the week. From The Others and Cujo to Jason Goes to Hell, Lovecraft Country, The Monster Squad, and The Fly, this week in horror history proves that terror can hide inside a locked mansion, wait outside a stalled car, move from body to body, follow a family across America, gather the classic monsters, or emerge from a teleportation pod. The calendar may still say August, but the Halloween horror pregame is officially underway.

Hop in your telepod, I mean time machine and dial it up to 1986! We're kicking off a month of anniversaries with The Fly directed by David Cronenberg.

Cultists, it's the 40th Anniversary of Cronenberg's reimagining of The Fly. Before we put that body horror classic on the Exam Table, we're first going to look at Kurt Neuman's original film from 1958. Shot in glorious CinemaScope and starring the great Vincent Price. It's been overshadowed by its remake, but it's worth your consideration.

Julian, Emilio, and Madeline continue their episode cycle focusing on Twins and Doppelgängers with a "Suggestion Box" episode about "Dead Ringers," David Cronenberg's film from 1988 which stars Jeremy Irons in an iconic dual role as identical twin gynecologists Beverly and Elliot Mantle. Loosely inspired by the true story of Stewart and Cyril Marcus, the film examines how a romantic entanglement disrupts the equilibrium of these two brothers in their shared profession as well as an illicit side exploit, giving way to a powerful meditation on brotherhood, addiction, and co-dependency in its many forms. The three co-hosts explore Cronenberg's portrayal of twindom by digging into the film's evocative and technically savvy visuals, the often intentionally confusing tableaus which carry the story forward, and the technical and emotional mastery of Jeremy Irons in a career-defining role that, despite not winning an Oscar, certainly paved the way for accolades and great roles to come.  If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

A History of Violence could easily be passed off as a basic genre film that drifts into ultraviolence. However, when you examine this Cronenberg flick more deeply, you'll find a thoughtful film that asks us to consider violence from a philosophical perspective—specifically our history with it, our relationship to it, and whether we can ever truly escape our past entanglements with it.LinksSupport Our Work - https://lsgmedia.net/joinDiscord - https://discord.com/invite/8FmrT9DrvuAcknowledgementsFloyd Frye (Intro/Outro Voice): https://www.tiktok.com/@floydfrye George C Music (Music): https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeCMusicDisclaimer: This episode features impressions and parodies of celebrities and characters for entertainment purposes only.

They break down what Jared calls one of the most consequential and openly authoritarian speeches an American president has ever given, delivered by a man who can barely read the Stephen Miller script in front of him. The speech claimed China compromised over 200 million voter profiles, that a deep state hid it all from Trump, that Barack Obama personally handled burn bags full of evidence, and that 280,000 noncitizens are on the voter rolls, with WhiteHouse.gov supposedly holding the proof. Nick actually went and checked. The site was down, and when it loaded there was not a single document. The pair walk through why none of this is really about 2020, and everything about building a permission structure to rig the 2026 midterms and beyond, how intelligence agencies purged of anyone competent now feed Trump whatever he wants to hear, and why the echoes of Iraq War cherry-picking should worry everyone. It closes on the media trap where even networks that refused to air the speech will now repeat its claims for months. What we're watching: Nick is working through A History of Violence, the Cronenberg film written by friend of the pod Josh Olson, and enjoying the Viggo Mortensen slow-burn. Jared put on the newish Superman and found it a case study in how wall-to-wall James Gunn quipping drains every scene of tension, though Lois Lane comes out looking great.

Cronenberg's Crash has unexpectedly ignited a girl internet obsession with James Spader's unique ability to make my knees shape.

This week on End Credits there's no holiday. While you may be enjoying the show in the midst of a midsummer holiday week, we're still cranking out content but not the way the Jackass gang is still cranking it out! We will review the final (?) entry in the franchise, Best and Last, which you can now seen in a theatre near you, plus, let's talk about Can-Con!  This Wednesday, July 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Canada Day Canadian Movie Draft! This week's episode goes live on Canada Day, so is there a better way to celebrate our nation's 159th birthday than to gift us all with a game about Can-Con? Obviously not! We're drafting again with some unique new topics including the covers non-Canadian movies set in Canada, Canadian horror movies, low-budget or indie Canadian flicks. Plus, there's the eternal question: Cronenberg versus Eqoyan as Canada's film king?! REVIEW: Jackass: Best and Last (2026). It's all been leading to this... Sort of. Johnny, Chris, Steve-O, Dave, Wee-Man, Danger Ehren and the whole gang are back for one last ride in Jackass: Best and Last. This fifth entry in the franchise reckons with old age, the guys can't do those same old body breaking stunts the way they used to, so instead they're doing some less traumatic stunts, reminiscing about old times and playing some never-seen-before B-sides. So are we ready to let Jackass go after one more round of genital trauma? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

The Brood (Cronenberg 1979) Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the classic 1979 David Cronenberg film The Brood. While this is a Canadian film, we wanted to include this in our mini-series on pregnancy and women's bodies because it came out in 1979. Reagan would be elected in 1980 after having married the racist Southern Strategy of Atwater with the opportunistic politicization of abortion by the evangelical christians.

David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983) might be the most disturbing movie that accidentally predicted the internet. In this horror movie review podcast, we dive deep into body horror, media manipulation, bizarre hallucinations, and the infamous "Long Live the New Flesh" ending. Along the way, we debate whether Videodrome is a masterpiece, a fever dream, or just one giant stomach-vagina hallucination. If you love horror movie analysis, cult classics, Cronenberg, and long-form horror discussions, this episode is for you.⚠️ WARNING: Contains spoilers, body horror, existential dread, and more confusion than Max Renn after watching Videodrome.Long Live the New Flesh.

Épisode sans divulgâcheurs C'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que nous avons reçu le réalisateur Raymond St-Jean et l'actrice Romane Denis afin de parler de Nervures, un nouveau film d'horreur/fantastique qui prend l'affiche le 12 juin. Les animateurs de TSLP recommandent fortement d'aller découvrir ce long métrage sur grand écran. En plus des excellentes performances de la distribution, le film propose d'impressionnants maquillages conçus par Bruno Gatien (fondateur d'AVATAR FX) et son équipe. Si les effets et les thèmes évoquent parfois l'univers de Cronenberg, Nervures possède une identité bien à lui et se démarque comme une œuvre unique du cinéma de genre québécois. À noter que Marie-Thérèse Fortin a gagné le Prix UDA de la meilleure actrice dans un film québécois lors du Festival de films CINEMANIA.   Synopsis Quand elle apprend que son père Maurice est malade, Isabelle décide de prendre la route vers Saint-Étienne, à huit heures de Montréal, pour lui rendre visite. Accompagnée de sa copine Kensya, la jeune femme subit un choc en arrivant lorsque sa mère Thérèse lui annonce qu'en fait Maurice est décédé il y a quelques jours. Les circonstances troublantes de ce décès et le comportement erratique et bizarre de sa mère amènent Isabelle à soupçonner que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond dans cet ancien village forestier isolé et déprimé économiquement. Alors que les incidents bizarres se multiplient, la jeune femme lève tranquillement le voile sur le mystère qui entoure Saint-Étienne et ses habitants. Ce qu'elle va découvrir est encore plus sinistre et horrifiant que tout ce qu'elle avait pu imaginer. Bonne écoute!   https://www.nervures-lefilm.com/ https://www.avatarfx.ca/about

Our Bedroom to Box Office Summer Event begins with David Cronenberg's sophomore effort, RABID - a horror ditty starring iconic adult movie star Marilyn Chambers. The concept of patient zero using an armpit-stinger to infect other people must have blown critics' minds back in the 70s, leading to a fresh 78% Tomatometer score. To us? It's basic, uninspired Cronenberg.

The real surprise when it comes to RABID is that Cronenberg meant it to be about the dangers of mishandling an epidemic. As much as we can all relate to that, it can be difficult to connect to that theme when it's carried by a movie that plays like a parody of the director's body-horror obsessions. But how does Marilyn Chambers do, regardless of the film's shortcomings?

LexG with some mini "lightning rounds" on a few formative faves, from David Cronenberg to Kathryn Bigelow to Walter Hill, with a few shorter riffs on Paul Verhoeven, Peter Hyams, and John Badham. Not meant to be comprehensive or scholarly, just freeform riffing about some favorite filmmakers, in what might become an ongoing occasional series or segment.

Tommy opens with a conversation that didn't start as a therapy pitch — and became exactly that. Someone in his life has been white-knuckling a worsening anxiety spiral, armed with nothing but the very adult conviction that they should probably just handle it. Sound familiar? Tommy walks through what he told them: the case for therapy, the case for medication, and the analogy that reframes everything about why you take something "to feel better." He also surfaces the most important and least-discussed reason people avoid getting help — and it has nothing to do with stigma.Pete, meanwhile, has a confession. He is possibly inappropriately enthusiastic about surgery. Not in a Cronenberg way. In the way of a man who went to sleep with a gallbladder and woke up without one and has been genuinely awed about it ever since. This episode is his love letter to the laparoscopic revolution — six hundred thousand procedures a year, four tiny holes, and the medical equivalent of a hey-while-you're-in-there moment that changed the entire field within five years. He also has some thoughts on telesurgery, ultrasound beams that dissolve kidney stones without touching you, and what it says about adult trust that we will hand ourselves to strangers with robot arms and simply say: do your worst.Together, these segments make an argument the show has been circling all season: that adulthood is mostly accepting help you didn't know you needed, from systems you don't entirely understand, built by people who failed spectacularly for centuries before they got it right. Whether you're staring down a panic attack or a surgical consent form, the move is the same — stop trying to fix it with dirt, and let someone who practiced on a cadaver take a look.Pete also has feelings about pig kidneys. Big feelings. Feeling Friends feelings. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit allthefeelings.fum/join to learn more!

The very funny Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney had never seen David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone, so naturally we had to make them watch it and report back. You know Nick & Brian collectively as BriTANiK from their sketch work at SNL, their writing on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the two movies they have coming out this April: Pizza Movie, which they wrote and directed and is out now on Hulu, and Over Your Dead Body, hitting theaters this very weekend. So, what did they think of Cronenberg's film? Well, you'll have to listen and find out, but I will say that had just as many questions for Vespe and Breznican as the hosts had for them.

Kristoffer Borgli's The Drama uses the revelation of one character's dark secret as a provocative “twist,” but also as the basis for an exploration of whether a romantic relationship can survive such dramatic upheaval, a premise that calls to mind 2005's A History of Violence. The central couple of David Cronenberg's thriller, played by Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello, is much further along in their marriage than the altar-bound pair in The Drama, which lends fascinating nuance to their attempts to reckon with the husband's violent past — particularly for a bunch of podcasters who are decades into their own long-term relationships. So this week we do our own reckoning with the film's ideas about how violence can shape a person and redefine a marriage, and what makes A History of Violence stand out among both action thrillers and Cronenberg films. Then in Feedback, we welcome some constructive criticism regarding Project Hail Mary as well as our choice of film to pair it with.  Please share your thoughts about A History of Violence, The Drama, 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.

Tom Savini gets a mention. And Max is still trying to talk Steve into starting an OnlyFans.

An all new Appreciation Month is upon us here at Cinema Degeneration and this time we are delving into the twisted works and mind of the one and only Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg whose career started in the late 1960's! It's a month long celebration of all things body horror, strange killers, telekinesis, rampant diseases, sexual perversions, more body horror, technological mutations, oh and did we mention body horror??? Our 2nd episode is based upon Cronenberg's only filmed remake to date with the 1986 body horror classic "THE FLY".  Starring Jeff Goldblum,  Geena Davis and John Getz.  A remake of the 1958 black & white classis starring Vincent Price. It's a twisted tale of a scientist gone mad that results in a botched experiment that transmutes the man into a monstrous insect. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, we assure you. It begs the question of what happens when a man tries to play God and what the consequences can be.  If that doesn't sound intriguing to you, then you've got to check your pulse because you may already be dead. Our deep dive discussion and dissection on this film is headed off by Cameron Scott and Tom Komisar, the hosting duo of "Grindhouse Pizzeria". Buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride!   "The medicine cabinet is now the Brundle Museum of Natural History. You wanna see what else is in it?"

David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch is not an adaptation: it's a psychological autopsy. In this episode of Four Play, we dive deep into one of the most challenging films ever released by a major director: Cronenberg's surreal, disturbing, and deeply personal interpretation of William S. Burroughs' life and work. Rather than translating Burroughs' famously “unfilmable” novel to the screen, Naked Lunch fuses biography, addiction, sexuality, guilt, and creativity into a dream-logic nightmare that feels closer to a hallucination than a movie. Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code FOURPLAY at https://shopmando.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Mouths of Madness, we review The Fly (1986), David Cronenberg's tragic body horror classic starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. We break down the film's themes of transformation, love, decay, and identity, along with its Oscar-winning practical effects and why The Fly still hits harder with age.Welcome back to the Dungeon of Doom — where the walls are wired, the lab is suspicious, and the telepods look a little too… ergonomic.

This week we're joined by actor, drag queen, and Debbie Harry fanatic, Love Connie, for a look at David Cronenberg's sexy and sadistic meditation on horror, television, and society: Videodrome. The early 1980s saw a revolution in consumer video. Small UHF stations broadcast trashy movies at night to compete with the larger VHF networks. VCRs and cable introduced theatrical films to the home market uncut for broadcast. Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had some real deep thoughts on what that would mean for our society and how it would change our consciousness. Cronenberg saw a movie in there and he cast James Woods and Debbie Harry as pawns in a game played by shadowy figures using television signals to physically transform the viewers. Max Renn is an executive for CIVIC-TV, a small UHF station in Toronto, a station that broadcast violent and pornographic content. He's on the lookout for the next sensation that'll broaden his audience and he stumbles on to what appears to be a snuff show called Videodrome. It's nothing but brutality, no plot, no characters, just violence. The deeper he looks into it, the worse his hallucinations become. What's real? What's fantasy? Does it even matter? What is Videodrome doing to him?

In this absolutely unglued episode, your favorite movie goblins spiral into a double feature of romantic body horror nightmares, breaking down Together, directed by Michael Shanks, and The Ugly Stepsister, directed by Emilie Blichfeldt — two films that boldly ask the question:“What if love… but also screaming?”First up, we tackle Together, where relationships, intimacy, and human bodies all politely agree to stop following the rules of God, science, and decency. We yell about uncomfortable closeness, emotional dependency taken to Cronenberg levels, and how this movie feels like couples therapy if your therapist was a cursed swamp witch. Every conversation somehow becomes:“Would you survive this situation?” (No)“Is this romantic or a biohazard?” (Yes)“Why is the human body like this?” (Rude of it, honestly)Shanks clearly woke up one day and said, “Let's emotionally terrorize everyone who's ever been in a relationship,” and we respect the commitment to violence.Then we skip gleefully into the bloody fairy tale hellscape of The Ugly Stepsister, directed by Emilie Blichfeldt, a gorgeous, grotesque body-horror remix of Cinderella that proves beauty standards have always been a full-contact sport. We lose our collective minds over:Medieval cosmetic surgery nightmaresVomit trauma (so much vomit trauma)Beauty rituals that feel like OSHA violationsThe sheer audacity of adding in THAT MANY you-know-whatWe praise Blichfeldt for crafting a film that feels like it crawled out of a cursed storybook soaked in blood, jealousy, and bad vibes.Somewhere along the way the episode derails into:Screaming about practical effects like proud raccoonsDebating which movie would emotionally destroy us fasterQuestioning every weight loss method ever Arguing whether fairy tales were always body horror and we were just naïve little foolsDeclaring that love is beautiful, disgusting, and possibly hauntedThis episode is basically three horror nerds laughing hysterically while being spiritually attacked by intimate trauma cinema and cursed fairytale energy.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CREEP-O-RAMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creep-o-rama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joshblevesque⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bargainbinblasphemy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@imfigure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stranjlove

This week, we dive into David Cronenberg's A History of Violence, unpacking its brutal intensity, powerful performances, and lasting impact. We explore how the film blends crime drama with psychological tension, and why it remains one of Cronenberg's most compelling works.

The troupe is locked in combat with the Gargoyle King and five miniature gargoyles. New Rogue focused his powers entirely on keeping his goat safe, Shadow Nemesis tried to strike at the king, but hit Del instead, Tyler effectively conjured illusory clones of himself to draw the attention of the gargoyles, and Del psychically attacked with a Cronenberg-like jamboree band. The Doctor Deputy discovered that he couldn't attack the gargoyle king unless it first attacked every member of the troupe, and with the stone giant swiftly smashing through Tyler's illusions, will the troupe survive another blow?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

As we here at the Take-Up wish everyone a happy holiday, we bring the gift of Keith Watson's and Sarah Barabas' pick of the week and iconic “wallpaper cinema,” Suspiria! As the Arkadin Cinema owners alongside Josh and Andrew wander down the vast candy-lit halls of this witchy giallo, raving over the fairy tale aesthetics, camp quality, dream logic, and how it all makes for a great date movie. Completing this episode is a preview of the Arkadin's “Weird Canadian” theme for next month, featuring some Cronenberg, Kids in the Hall and upcoming animated documentary Endless Cookie. Plus Josh and Andrew having One More Thing with hit HBO queer hockey drama Heated Rivalry and point-and-click murder mystery game The Séance of Blake Manor. Next week, Josh and Andrew keep this macabre gift-giving, bringing in fellow Take-Up contributor/podcast editor Ethan Tarantella (you know, the guy who writes these episode synopses?) to discuss his own first kiss with cinema, which just so happens to be Luca Guadagnino's 2018 remake of Suspiria. Witness your writer come out of the shadows to talk about a film that breaks the nose off of Argento's original and replaces it with an uglier attack of the senses.Until then, read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

"I'm a magnet for madness. Other people's madness." It's Kristen-mastime on the podcast! Going into the holiday season, we are looking back at some of our favorite roles of Kristen Stewart on the podcast. We're starting our holiday season with one of Kristen's most acclaimed and watched  Spencer from 2021. The second in the trilogy of Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín's iconic women of history, Spencer is the ultimate swing for the fences, kooky, and non-traditional biopic its subject needed. It's a queer holiday classic that we never knew we needed in our lives, and got Kristen an Oscar nomination for best actress. Presented as "A fable from a true tragedy," we follow Diana Spencer visiting the in-law royals at their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. A bizarre and oddly moving portrait of mental health and a marriage in crisis, this ain't your Queen Mum's biopic! Seriously, most of this movie plays as a straight-up horror movie complete with ghosts of Anne Boleyn, haunted houses, scarecrows, and body horror that would belong in a Cronenberg movie. We talk about how pitch-perfect Kristen is here and how much she nails Diana, Princess of Wales's mannerisms. Our fascination with everything about the Royals and their portrayal in pop culture.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

It's Die Hard in a diner! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're discussing David Cronenberg's masterful 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, a story that begins (and ends) with a DIE HARD-type scenario…and goes deep and hard on the consequences of surviving such an event. Mild mannered family man Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) owns and runs a diner in the small, Norman Rockwellian town of Millbrook, Indiana, where he lives a quiet, happy life with his wife Edie (Maria Bello) and their two children, teenage son Jack (Ashton Holmes) and a young daughter Sarah (Heidi Hayes). However, Tom's seemingly idyllic existence is shattered when he thwarts an attempted robbery at the diner, killing two murderous criminals in the process. The local media laud Tom as a hero, and the subsequent press attention results in the appearance of sinister Philadelphia mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris), who believes that “Tom Stall” is in fact “Joey Cusack” a fellow mobster from his past. As Fogerty and his henchmen begin threatening Tom and his family, much of the subsequent tension stems from the uncertainty as to who Tom really is…and what he intends to do about this escalating threat to those he loves. The guys discuss their favorite Cronenberg films and where this particular picture fits within the auteur's oeuvre. They talk about the myriad DIE HARD connections in the ‘DIE HARD DNA' section, discuss its various themes, its provocative presentation of violence and sex, and the remarkable performances. Awards are handed out in the ‘DIE HARD Oscars' and events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy' quiz! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_GSE_ZsUNwAt the time of release, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Video essayist Taylor Williams returns to the pod as we discuss David Cronenberg's psychological drama in A DANGEROUS METHOD! Together we discuss the careers of the three leads, interpretations of the ending, talk-y plays adapted into movies, Black Bag and our history with Cronenberg

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and critic and podcaster Drew Taylor discuss the provocation and conflict of David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. A History of ViolenceIn David Cronenberg's subtly provocative film, one of his most celebrated, all is not as it initially seems. In his first of many collaborations with the director, Viggo Mortensen delivers a highly nuanced performance as Tom Stall, a small-town husband and father who is hailed as a hero when he kills the would-be perpetrators of a violent robbery. But how did this ordinary family man dispatch them with such skill? Working with an exceptional cast that also includes Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, Cronenberg slyly deconstructs the mythos of the American action hero, posing elemental questions about identity, human nature, and the violence that we both abhor and can't look away from.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration of the international cut, supervised by director of photography Peter Suschitzky and approved by director David Cronenberg, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring CronenbergNew interview with screenwriter Josh Olson, conducted by writer-producer Tom BernardoExcerpts of Cronenberg and actor Viggo Mortensen in conversation at the 2014 Toronto International Film FestivalActs of Violence, a documentary on the making of the film, featuring behind-the-scenes footageThree featurettesDeleted scene with commentary by CronenbergTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Nathan LeeNew cover by Connor WillumsenDREW TAYLOR is a reporter for The Wrap.

This week Jordan is joined by returning champion Liz Layne! You'll remember Liz from our episode on Trick Or Treat or from her many other cool podcasts and projects. This time we're talking about The Dungeonmaster (1984), a horror anthology of sorts run by the notorious Charles Band of Puppetmaster, Evil Bong, The Gingerdead Man, etc. etc. infamy. This one HEAVILY features W.A.S.P. in their hard partying prime. It also heavily features Richard Moll from Night Court as an evil wizard. Listen in as Jordan and Liz talk about "little feller" horror, this film's connection with Drab Majesty, and forgotten dime store erotic slashers like Zipperface. Folks... it's a good one.

The October Spooktacular continues! This week we're joined by the Toilet's own Joaquin Stick to watch David Cronenberg's most divorced movie! We're watching The Brood (1979), a simple tale of twisted little homunculi burst from the external sac of a hateful women and hellbent on beating people to death with tiny hammers. We've got pseudoscientific cults, slammin' 70s style, hard-drinkin' grandmas, proto-men's rights activism, misogyny, and bloody fetus licking! Overall, Cronenberg was not in a great place when he made this movie! That sucks for him but we had a great time talking about it. Folks........ it's a good one.

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.
