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.

In this video episode, Sidney breaks down the ultimate body horror film, David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986).

Comics writer Philip Kennedy Johnson (The Infernal Hulk, Superman) breaks down his new project Midnight Spider-Man, one of the flagship titles launching Marvel's brand-new Midnight Universe this fall. In this panel plunge, Philip shares how the project came together, why Spider-Man was the perfect character for a full-fledged body horror reimagining, and the surprising influences behind the series including David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, Junji Ito, and manga storytelling to the corporate paranoia of Alien. He goes on to explain how Marvel challenged him to take creative risks, how artist Scie Tronc brings an entirely new visual language to the character, and why this version of Spider-Man may be the boldest reinvention of the character ever. We also explores the larger themes driving the book, including power, responsibility, corporate corruption, and how modern anxieties shape today's superhero stories. Beyond Midnight Spider-Man, we dive into Philip's Incredible Hulk run, exploring his love of Appalachian folk horror, Southern Gothic storytelling, and the inspirations behind my favorite character in the book, Charlie Tidwell, and tease about the upcoming Hulk War crossover. "What the world has actually shown us is that power makes monsters almost invariably. Peter exists in a world in which power makes monsters every time, but he's the one who sets out to prove that it's not true—even while it's physically, visibly changing him into a monster." — Philip Kennedy Johnson Phillip's website Follow Comic Book Yeti

David Cronenberg's The Fly turns 40 this August, and we're revisiting one of the greatest, and most disturbing, body horror films ever made. This week, the Bloody Good Horror crew discusses Jeff Goldblum's unforgettable performance, the film's practical effects, its themes of aging and mortality, and why The Fly continues to influence horror nearly four decades after its release.

To sustain the illusion of America, you need to compartmentalize or deny a lot of violence. We discuss David Cronenberg's existentialist masterpiece A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE (2005). PLUS: We mark the passing of the so-called "Godfather of the New Right," Jim Goad.

Forty years ago this summer, genre master David Cronenberg (Videodrome, Eastern Promises, The Dead Zone, Dead Ringers) directed this remake of the 1958 cult classic of the same name starring Vincent Price.  This is the updated story of Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a quirky scientist who has been developing an exciting new invention geared towards teleportation.  He meets an enterprising science reporter named Ronnie (Geena Davis) and together, they not only work to further this technoloy....but they also fall in love.  But then one fateful night alone, Seth makes the mistake of "teleporting while drunk" and the pod which he's using happens to have a house fly inside of it. :o And what results is a gradual, gruesome transformation for Seth into.....something else!  This film not only became a suprise box office hit but would also go on to win a VERY deserved Oscar for Best Makeup.  Be afraid, be very afraid. Also see below for a hysterical stand-up bit from Martin Lawrence about this movie which is cited in this review! :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ITAthB4ai0Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Charli XCX's new album ends with David Cronenberg saying, over and over, that no one lasts forever. I appreciate the honesty. A critic called it a litany for an afterlife-free church. Romans 8 is the response. Not a Hallmark card, not death-denial, but the promise that God makes a way out of no way. That nothing is lost. That everything bad will be undone.

One day before the release of her new album, Music, Fashion, Film, xcx joins Scott Lipps on SPIN Magazine's Lipps Service for an in-depth conversation about creativity, reinvention, and one of pop music's most influential careers. Charli discusses the inspiration behind Music, Fashion, Film, nearly walking away from music, working with A.G. Cook, growing up during the MySpace era, fashion, filmmaking, visual identity, Martin Scorsese, John Cale, Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, social media, the current state of rock, and much more.

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.

This week we're back with the 1986 scifi body horror film The Fly. Directed and co-written by David Cronenberg it is based on the 1957 short story of the same name. The film tells the story of an eccentric scientist who, after one of his experiments goes wrong, slowly turns into a fly-hybrid creature. The film stars Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, and John Getz.

This week, we examine the dangerously transformative power of media intake by tackling David Cronenberg's VIDEODROME. Operating on a studio's budget for the first time in his career, the visionary filmmaker known for boundary-pushing body horror unleashed a wildly intuitive vision of a sinister broadcast -- known as Videodrome -- which causes intense hallucinations and compulsions in anyone who views it. The film used uncomfortable visualizations and psychosexually violent scenarios to create a nightmarish portrait of media manipulation and control. What's perhaps most frightening about the film is how eerily similar it is to our current state of technological codependency.To unpack this film's fascinating details, we're joined by Josh Willenbrink of Restoration Games who last joined us to discuss and promote their upcoming releases and Justin Donnahoo, a youth pastor, Batman enthusiast, and co-host of the Moviga podcast. Together, we dive into the striking ways this film forecasted where we might one day find ourselves and we discuss the vital necessity of preserving our humanity amidst an ocean of algorithms.It's a hearty and thought-provoking episode this week that we really hope you enjoy.3:42 - Two Questions with Justin Donnahoo15:34 - Catching Up on Games with Josh WillenbrinkPatron Only Segment: WHATCHA25:47 - VIDEODROMESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you haven't seen the photos of the massive crowd that Angine de Poitrine drew at the Jazz Fest last weekend you should do yourself a favour and check them out. I haven't really hear precise estimates of attendance but I think it's easily around 100,000 people based on what I know of the layout and rough capacity. We've talked a little bit about what makes Angine de Poitrine the band of the moment right now and I think their popularity is almost a direct rejection of AI. Something that sounds and looks so different from everything else while still being pretty accessible just pierces through the monoculture slop that seems to be everywhere. These guys rule and I'm glad the world is getting a taste of some weirdo Quebecois culture. Scott talks at length about Rambo: Forces of Freedom which he presumably stumbled up while watching the MAXOUT POWERBLOCK over on YouTube. I love how toy and cartoon adaptations of R-Rated movies were a thing in the 80s and I'm a little bummed we don't see more of that anymore. Where are my Requiem for a Dream animated specials? Why can't I play with my Midsommar playset with real old-people-jumping-off-cliff action? Anyways, over on Garbage Time Jon watched Fury Road and things have grown even murkier in his mind about what movie should top our Movie List. He also watched David Cronenberg's Crash and now we're all wondering if we should be turned on by car wrecks. We finish things off talking about the final season of Euphoria and Back to the Future. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

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.

Hablamos del festival Mad Horror que tendrá lugar en Madrid (y las películas de terror que cumplen aniversario este 2026) Los presentadores de esRadio, Dani Palacios y Juanma González, introducen un episodio nostálgico situado en junio de 2026, centrado en los aniversarios de emblemáticas películas de terror y la llegada de un nuevo gran evento a Madrid: el festival Mad Horror. Para hablar de este hito para el sector del cine, reciben a Mike Hostench, quien fuera codirector del Festival de Sitges durante dos décadas y que ahora pilota este ambicioso proyecto. Hostench explica que el festival está diseñado para combinar una convención de terror—con firmas de talentos, puestos de cómics y videojuegos—con un festival de cine boutique. La selección cinematográfica contará con lo mejor de certámenes prestigiosos como Sitges, el Fantastic Fest de Austin y el Midnight Madness de Toronto. Entre lo más destacado se encuentran diez largometrajes nuevos y diversos homenajes que traerán una experiencia única a la capital de España. El festival cuenta con un impresionante plantel de figuras legendarias invitadas, entre las que destacan Robert Englund, Linda Blair y Malcolm McDowell. Además, el certamen albergará tres grandes exposiciones: una dedicada al universo de la película Aliens, el regreso, que cumple 40 años; otra enfocada en la oscarizada empresa de efectos DDT; y una tercera que rinde tributo al maestro del terror español, Chicho Ibáñez Serrador. El evento también dispondrá de zonas experienciales, incluyendo tres túneles del terror—dos de ellos inspirados en el manga y el anime japonés—escape boxes y videojuegos. Hostench y los presentadores debaten sobre cómo el género de terror ha salvado históricamente a la industria cinematográfica en épocas de crisis, citando su capacidad para triunfar con presupuestos moderados y sin necesidad de contar con estrellas de Hollywood excesivamente caras. La conversación se traslada después a las efemérides históricas que se cumplen en 2026. Celebrando su 50.º aniversario se encuentra la obra maestra española ¿Quién puede matar a un niño?, dirigida por Serrador. También destacan los 40 años de Aliens, el regreso (1986) y de La mosca de David Cronenberg, enfatizando el impacto de estas películas en la evolución de los efectos especiales y la definición de géneros. El terror español ocupa un lugar central en la retrospectiva, destacando el 30.º aniversario de Tesis, la brillante ópera prima de Alejandro Amenábar, y los 25 años de Los otros y de la obra de Guillermo del Toro, El espinazo del diablo. Los locutores recuerdan también el enorme éxito internacional de Darkness, dirigida por Jaume Balagueró, que llegó a recaudar más de 22 millones de dólares en las taquillas de Estados Unidos. Por último, rememoran otros títulos de culto como El día de la bestia (1995), de Álex de la Iglesia, que tuvo una mítica andadura en el Cine Rex de Madrid, y No profanar el sueño de los muertos de Jorge Grau. También repasan rarezas extremas como Sardu o Street Trash, concluyendo que el cine fantástico y de terror patrio sigue siendo una potencia vibrante y respetada internacionalmente.

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.

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.

David Peck sits down with acclaimed actors Radha Mitchell, Ioan Gruffudd, and Bianca Wallace to discuss the tense new action-thriller Seven Snipers on Face2Face. Together they explore the film's emotional core, the psychology of survival, the lingering effects of trauma, and the complicated relationships that exist beneath the bullets and battlefield tactics. What begins as a gripping sniper thriller quickly reveals itself as a story about family, love, sacrifice, and redemption. The conversation touches on strong female characters, the realities of violence, PTSD, independent filmmaking, and why some films linger long after the credits roll. A compelling look behind the scope of one of this year's most intense action films.Seven Snipers brings together an impressive ensemble led by three accomplished performers whose careers span film, television, and independent cinema.Academy Award-nominated actor Radha Mitchell leads the film as Kris Hendricks, a retired elite sniper whose carefully constructed life is shattered when a ruthless enemy from her past resurfaces. One of Australia's most respected international actors, Mitchell is known for standout performances in Pitch Black, Finding Neverland, Phone Booth, Man on Fire, and Silent Hill. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for portraying strong, complex, and emotionally layered characters, making her a natural fit for the heart of Seven Snipers.Joining her is acclaimed Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, whose extensive screen career includes memorable roles in Titanic, Black Hawk Down, King Arthur, Fantastic Four, Forever, and Harrow. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), Gruffudd has earned international recognition for bringing intelligence, warmth, and depth to every role. In Seven Snipers, he plays "Milk," a loyal former member of the sniper team whose courage and humanity become central to the film's emotional core. He is also the recipient of the Welsh BAFTA's Sian Phillips Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television.Rounding out the trio is Australian actor Bianca Wallace, whose work spans feature films, television, voice acting, and producing. Originally from Queensland, Wallace first began performing as a singer before transitioning into acting, earning recognition for her award-winning work in Bloodline and other film projects. In Seven Snipers, she portrays Kaldayev, a skilled member of the elite team brought together to face an increasingly dangerous threat.Together, Mitchell, Gruffudd, and Wallace help elevate Seven Snipers beyond a traditional action thriller, grounding its intense action in themes of loyalty, family, sacrifice, and survival.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

At the Toronto International Film Festival, I sat down with acclaimed filmmaker Darlene Naponse to discuss her stunning new film Aki. More than a documentary, Aki is a poetic meditation on land, memory, community, and our relationship to the natural world. Together they explore narrative sovereignty, Indigenous storytelling, mining and environmental responsibility, truth and reconciliation, and the power of listening more closely—to the land, to one another, and to ourselves. Naponse reflects on how making the film transformed her as an artist and why hope, connection, and responsibility remain at the heart of her work. A thoughtful conversation about belonging, beauty, and finding our way home.Darlene Naponse is an award-winning Anishinaabe filmmaker, writer, and community advocate from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek in Northern Ontario. Widely recognized as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Indigenous cinema, her work explores themes of land, identity, language, sovereignty, community, and the enduring relationships that connect people to place.Over the past decade, Naponse has built an acclaimed body of work that includes the feature films Falls Around Her, Stellar, Every Emotion Costs, and Aki. Her films have screened at major festivals around the world, including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), imagineNATIVE, and the American Indian Film Festival, earning praise for their poetic visual style, emotional depth, and commitment to authentic Indigenous storytelling.Beyond filmmaking, Naponse has spent years working in community development, governance, and nation-building initiatives within her own community. That lived experience informs much of her creative work, which often bridges personal stories with broader questions about history, reconciliation, environmental stewardship, and cultural resurgence.Her latest film, Aki is a striking visual meditation on community, memory, and humanity's relationship with the natural world. Created through a process rooted in respect, observation, and Indigenous ways of seeing, the film reflects Naponse's ongoing commitment to narrative sovereignty and storytelling that emerges from community rather than speaking for it.Whether working behind the camera, mentoring emerging artists, or engaging in conversations about Indigenous futures, Darlene Naponse continues to challenge audiences to look more closely, listen more carefully, and reconsider their relationship with the land and with one another.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

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.

Dan, Manny, & Billy welcome back Nostalgia Test Podcast all-star Meghan Nolan to put the 1996 Pauly Shore Stephen Baldwin “comedy” Bio-Dome to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “Dude, could you think of a worse person to get high with than Pauly Shore? Like, there is literally no one that I would rather less get high with than Pauly Shore. 'Cause I would be like, "Dude, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up." Could you imagine that, dude?” -Billy D'Elia   Dear Nostalgia Testers, this is the episode that almost broke the podcast. The guys decided to put their fate in The Wheel of Pauly Shore and was given the task of putting Bio-Dome to the test, and boy was it a huge... well. This movie defines the major issues with the 90s and why Manny talks about 80s cheese vs 90s trash. This movie seems like it was written by AI but was instead written by three people. That's right?! It took three people to write these lines that Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin literally fart out for 90 minutes. This movie sets the bar lower than low for men and is an insult to any and all men. The so-called jokes use sexual assault as a punchline, there's a Nazi salute that happens as all these morons go into the bio-dome, homophobia, and more badly developed body humor and horror than a David Cronenberg film. Dan, Manny, Billy, and Meghan go through some deep self-reflection starting with shame, shame that they all saw this movie, some more than 5 times, denial that they thought it was ever good, anger that this movie was even made, and acceptance that this is why they do this podcast. Dan creates a Bio-Dome “Would You Rather” game, and let's just say someone would rather wear a diaper for a week than watch Bio-Dome. So, take something really strong to calm yourself down, gather all your Pauly Shore movies and adoration, light a huge dumpster fire, and join The Nostalgia Test Podcast as we attempt to erase this part of the 90s from existence.

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.
