Here to help us see into the past and future of this terrifyingly political tale is writer and podcaster Matthew Jackson (The Scares That Shaped Us)!! Along the way, we discuss how the film ended up in the hands of the incredible David Cronenberg (thanks to Debra Hill), consider the right and wrong of Dino De Laurentiis' involvement with various King properties, and we explore how the key to the film lies in tracking Christopher Walken's hair. All this, plus Americana Noir, the return of F*%khorse, addition by subtraction, the cinema of damaged dongs, a deep examination of Frank Dodd's bedroom, the risk of unintentional "Mother!" syndrome, and a very cutting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Things continue to deteriorate on Vintage Cinema Rewind's Deep Dive on David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers. With Blake accepting a distant professor role and his girlfriend out of town on a shoot, Michael continues to spiral deeper and deeper into the warm embrace of drug addiction. Can Blake sober his better half up? Or is there another way for our erstwhile brothers to restore the balance?

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.

In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' host Victor, along with co-host Darren, delve into episode 4, titled 'Strawberry,' of the Apple TV series 'Smoke.' They analyze the episode's complex narrative, exploring the blurred lines between reality and fiction. Victor emphasizes his theory that much of what we see may be fabricated from the protagonist Dave's book. Key moments discussed include Dave's inappropriate behavior during a lecture, Calderon's ongoing investigation, and the absurd and surreal final scenes, which suggest a fantasy element. The episode also covers how audiences might react to these developments, the upcoming introduction of John Leguizamo's character, and ends with a brief detour into the new season of 'Dexter Resurrection' and anticipation for upcoming films such as Ari Aster's 'Edington' and David Cronenberg's 'The Shrouds.' mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Introduction and Current Shows 00:43 Murderbot Finale Discussion 02:52 Superman Movie Review 06:51 Superman Movie Critique 13:01 Superman Movie Comparisons 30:57 Smoke Episode 4: Strawberry 34:11 Dramatic Scene Analysis 34:25 Dave's Insane Lecture 35:11 Freddy's Disastrous Reaction 36:24 Calderon's Strategy and Freddy's Stockpile 38:22 Dave's Suspicious Behavior 42:26 Convenience Store Encounter 47:00 Calderone's Investigation 59:28 Dexter Resurrection Discussion 01:03:55 Upcoming Movies and Final Thoughts
This is certainly something "buzz-worthy"! A brilliant reinterpretation of a classic film that not only put a clever spin on the original premise but also added...color! In the tradition of upgraded horror masterpieces like The Thing and The Blob, we have a look at David Cronenberg's body horror bonanza, The Fly! A scientist, played by the inimitable Jeff Goldblum (but yeah, I will definitely imitate him during this podcast!) has a little mishap while testing his invention and slowly, gradually transforms into a giant fly! Not very convenient while he's trying to romance Geena Davis, but the script, performances, music and goopy makeup effects are really top-notch here. I absolutely love this movie, and I think you'll love my podcast episode, which is so good it's sure to draw a swarm of listeners like flies to a pile of...er...ice cream sundaes with chocolate syrup and fresh fruit toppings! Huh? What did you think I was gonna say??
Two bodies. Two minds. One soul. One middling podcast. Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with their Primer on David Cronenberg's oft-overlooked Dead Ringers. Blake and Michael are twins who share everything: an apartment, a practice, and sometimes even partners. But when a famous actress with a strange medical condition takes an interest in Michael, their delicate equilibrium is disturbed. Can the twins return to each other? Or is their bond better severed?

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. Tune in and discover the untold story of David Cronenberg's Frankenstein.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. Brown, starring Liana Liberato and Jake Weber (aka “Dawn of the Dead Ocean Dad”) Teeth (2007) – Directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein, starring Jess Weixler and John Hensley as Human Incest DumpsterShivers (1975) – Directed by David Cronenberg, starring Paul Hampton, Barbara Steele, and everything wrong with humanityTopics include:Why walking into the ocean is the ultimate Irish goodbye“Astrobiology” – science or weed hallucination?Cronenberg's wild take on sex parasitesThe proper ratio of tentacles to budgetSpider TikToks and Australia's war on sanityLovecraft meets weed: the crossover event nobodyasked forDon't forget to subscribe for more low-budget horror, high-budget opinions, and four grown men yelling about sea goo, toxic boyfriends, and the importance of pants during supernatural emergencies.

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!

Send us a textEpisode 221 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at David Cronenberg's, 1983 Canadian sci-fi body horror classic, Videodrome. A box office bomb upon release, Videodrome has gone on to become a cult classic, one considered by many to be his finest work. But does Videodrome hold up in 2025, and just how depressingly pertinent does it all feel to the modern world? Listen in vis the link in the bio.
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

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 102 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by the Head of Content for The Ringer and co-host of The Big Picture podcast Sean Fennessey to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, King Kong (2005). After making one of the most successful trilogies of all time, winning dozens of Oscars, making billions of dollars at the box office, and defying all odds due to the inadaptability of the source material, Peter Jackson was on top of the cinematic world. Following up The Lord of the Rings was going to be no small task, but the director had essentially created an opportunity that very few artists get to have in a career; he earned a blank check to make whatever he wanted. In doing this, he came back to a project he had been trying to make years before his work in Middle Earth; a remake of one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, King Kong. In making a direct remake of the 1939 classic, Jackson was able to recreate and expand a film that changed his life when he first saw it as a child in a local theater with his mother. But in doing so, he made a heavily CGI'd spectacle filled with dinosaurs that bogs down the emotional, fantastical elements at the core of the original story, and an effort that showed the problematic signs of what happens when total creative control is handed to those that need a little bit of a guiding hand. Ryan, Jay, and Sean breakdown their thoughts on the film, the other versions of King Kong, the career of Naomi Watts, how Jack Black is still a giant movie star, Adrian Brody's Oscar speech, why no one can make a good dinosaur film outside the first Jurassic Park, why this movie didn't work, why Sean picked this film to come on and talk about, and how nice a guy David Cronenberg seems. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h43m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Peter Jackson with a review of his next film, The Lovely Bones.

There are thought to be about 17 million living flies for every human alive on Earth. They’re predators and parasites and pests, but they’re pollinators too.
