Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Atrapados en el Calabozo, el crossover en el que los integrantes de Atrapados en la Habitación Roja y El Calabozo del Reverendo Wilson unimos fuerzas para impartir culto. Hoy comenzamos un repaso a través de las películas más significativas del cineasta canadiense más importante de todos los tiempos, David Cronenberg. Marcando unas líneas autorales perfectamente delimitadas, y creando unas coordinadas conceptuales que parecen un subgénero en sí mismo, estamos ante uno de los directores cuya visión del género ha marcado una página propia en la historia del cine. En este primer episodio abarcamos su primera etapa, la evolución de un terror que finalizaría con la llamada "nueva carne". Enjoy!

Hay experimentos que salen mal. Y después está lo de Seth Brundle. En este nuevo programa de La Guarida del Sith nos metemos de lleno en una de las grandes obras del terror y la ciencia ficción: La Mosca de 1986, dirigida por David Cronenberg y protagonizada por Jeff Goldblum y Geena Davis. Una película que convirtió una historia de ciencia ficción clásica en una brutal pesadilla de transformación, enfermedad, obsesión y horror corporal. Aunque el plato fuerte es la versión de Cronenberg, no nos quedamos únicamente en 1986. Viajamos hasta La Mosca original de 1958, dirigida por Kurt Neumann y protagonizada por David Hedison y Vincent Price, para comparar ambas películas y comprobar cómo una misma premisa puede transformarse radicalmente dependiendo de la época y de quién se coloque detrás de la cámara. También nos metemos en el terreno de La Mosca II, la secuela de 1989 dirigida por Chris Walas, que continúa directamente la historia de Seth Brundle a través de su hijo Martin. Una película que nos permite debatir si aquella mutación debía continuar o si Cronenberg ya había dejado la historia perfectamente cerrada. Hablamos de los efectos especiales, del maquillaje, de la transformación de Brundle, de la relación entre Seth y Veronica, del concepto de enfermedad y deterioro físico y de cómo Cronenberg consigue convertir algo tan cotidiano como nuestro propio cuerpo en una fuente de auténtico terror. También debatimos sobre las diferencias entre el terror clásico de los años 50 y el body horror de los 80, sobre lo que ambas versiones cuentan realmente y sobre por qué La Mosca sigue siendo una película tan incómoda y fascinante décadas después. Junto a Mapi, Miguel Ángel, Mario y Asier Huarte, nos embarcamos en un viaje desde los experimentos de teletransportación de los años 50 hasta la grotesca transformación de Seth Brundle. Tres películas. Dos épocas. Una mosca. Y una pregunta que probablemente no deberíamos hacernos mientras estamos cenando: ¿Hasta dónde estarías dispuesto a llegar para vencer a la naturaleza? Pulsa play, entra en el laboratorio y prepárate para descubrir que la ciencia ficción puede dar muchísimo más miedo cuando el monstruo no aparece de repente... sino que empieza a crecer dentro de ti.

This week on the Exciting and New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Dan back on the show as they discuss the 1986 horror classic The Fly. In this remaking of the 50s era Vincent Price flick, David Cronenberg amps up the body horror and paces an absolute gem as Jeff Goldblum transports himself and a fly across the room with unexpected results. Gina David is Ronnie, the reporter documenting it all. Mel Brooks said "Be afraid. Be very afraid." and boy he IS NOT kidding. This movie is nearly perfect and we all couldn't recommend it highly enough. Stop right now and watch this movie. Then enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing).

In this episode, Sidney breaks down a movie with a very unique concept from the offspring of David Cronenberg, Possessor (2020).
Send us Fan MailLove is a wonderful thing. Make ya smile through the pouring rain, take your heart and make it sing.... blah blah blah, what does Michael Bolton know anyway. The truth is, sometimes love hurts and that is the theme we will be dealing with this round.We haven't had a truly bizarre pick in a little while and that is exactly what we are kicking things off with via David Cronenberg's 1996 film Crash. Starring James Spader, Holly Hunter, Elias Koteas, Rosanna Arquette and a handful of others who I'm sure were questioning their life decisions while making this film. A car crash victim suddenly finds himself turned on by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground sub-culture of like-minded souls. In the words of Dave Chappelle: “BETTER NOT BRING YO KIDS.”
Andy can't get into David Cronenberg's films, gets yelled at on the street, and complains about a band charging $20 for a cassingle. Also, Xzibit shares his care regimen for his 20yo cat, and we listen to a news story about car deaths surging on days new albums are released.

Marvel's Midnight Universe is getting ready to open its doors, and this week we're going straight to two of the writers helping build it. Benjamin Percy and Phillip Kennedy Johnson join the AIPT Comics Podcast for an extended conversation about Midnight Fantastic Four and Midnight Spider-Man, two of the three series launching Marvel's new horror-infused universe on October 7. Along with Jonathan Hickman on Midnight X-Men, Percy and Johnson are helping to establish a world in which familiar Marvel characters are being rebuilt through body horror, cosmic terror, and some seriously disturbing new origins. Percy digs into the Lovecraftian nightmare behind his Fantastic Four, why their familiar powers are closer to curses, the influence of California's strange scientific and occult history, and just how grotesque Reed Richards' elasticity can become. Johnson takes us inside his radically different Peter Parker, the role Oscorp plays in his transformation, ScieTronc's horrifying designs, and why calling this version of Peter "Man-Spider" barely scratches the surface. The conversation also gets into the larger Midnight Universe, including how Percy, Johnson, and Hickman are coordinating their books, how carefully they're approaching other Marvel characters, plans for the universe to eventually expand, and yes, whether Hickman's beloved data pages are coming along for the ride. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

Dave: Tomb of Apocalypse #1 (Pablo Villalobos) Chris: Next Level: One Shot #1 (Fernando Blanco Main Cover) Interview: Midnight Universe - Ben Percy (Midnight FF) and Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Midnight Spider-Man) - Out October 7, FOC Aug 31 You're both taking characters whose origins are among the most familiar in comics and rebuilding them through horror. What was the first thing each of you identified in the classic Fantastic Four and Spider-Man origins that could become genuinely frightening in the Midnight Universe? Since this is horror, are you inverting who is the hero? I.e. is Spider-Man the villain and hsi rogues the bad guys, same for FF, or is that giving too much away? Ben, the Fantastic Four have always been explorers pushing into the unknown, but here that curiosity seems potentially catastrophic. How much of Midnight Fantastic Four is about Reed Richards being unable to leave certain doors unopened, even when every instinct should tell him to stop? Phillip, you've described wanting Peter Parker's transformation to feel like something conceived by H.R. Giger and directed by David Cronenberg. Once Peter becomes this grotesque spider hybrid, how do you preserve the humanity and responsibility that make him recognizably Spider-Man? Both books seem fascinated with science going somewhere it absolutely should not go. How differently do Reed and Peter respond to the realization that scientific progress has created something horrifying, and do you see them as cautionary reflections of each other? The solicit for Midnight Fantastic Four #2 mentions revisiting and redefining the perils of the atomic age. Ben, what interested you about connecting the Fantastic Four to that particular period of scientific optimism, anxiety, and destruction? Phillip, Oscorp isn't simply responsible for Peter's transformation. They're apparently using what they learn from him to create more human-animal hybrids. Does that give this version of Spider-Man a different relationship with his rogues gallery, especially characters like the Lizard and Doctor Octopus? Kev Walker and ScieTronc have incredibly distinct visual identities. Were there moments when their designs or pages came back and actually changed your understanding of this universe, or pushed the horror further than what you'd originally scripted? Horror can become less frightening once readers understand its rules. With both of you planning potentially very long runs, how do you keep the Midnight Universe mysterious and unsettling after readers have spent 20, 30, or even 50 issues living inside it? I know your books haven't launched just yet, but it's hard not to be excited for your books to somehow connect, given Spidey and the FF are thoroughly linked in the 616. Have you dreamed up crossovers yet? Finally, the important Midnight Universe question: if Midnight Spider-Man and the Midnight Fantastic Four were trapped together in a horror movie, who dies first, who somehow survives, and who makes the catastrophically bad decision to say, “Let's split up”?

Robinson (writer, Jupiter Jet, Aurora and the Eagle / podcast host – Geek History Lesson), Desirée Proctor (writer – Fanbase Press' Nuclear Power, Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Michonne, Peacock's Lopez vs. Lopez), Matthew Noe (Lead Collection & Knowledge Management Librarian for Harvard Medical School – Countway Library, board member of the Graphic Medicine International Collection and the American Library Association, Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table), and Ian Mondrick (writer – Stash Box, Tomb) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding The Fly (1986) in light of the feature film's 40th anniversary, with topics including how the film operates like an operatic tragedy, why director David Cronenberg insists the film is about aging and mortality, why the film is more romantic than most audiences might anticipate, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Fly abound in this panel discussion!)
In this episode, Sidney breaks down her personal favorite David Cronenberg film, Videodrome (1983).
This week we're plugging into David Cronenberg's 1981 sci-fi horror classic Scanners. We're talking telepathy, corporate conspiracies, body horror, and, yes… that head-exploding scene.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.
