Episode 094 - Dead Ringers (1988)
from 100 Horrors Hosted by 100 Horrors
If you like your horror films without any of the frightening characters, settings, characters or horrific situations that you might expect in a genre text, then this might be the one for you. In actuality, it's not at all fair to call David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers a horror film at all. Quite why it was listed on the 100 Horrors poster is beyond us. It wasn't fair on the film to make us review it, and it wasn't fair on us to make us watch it. THANKS MENKIND. Only six to go!

Politics of Cinema
Aaron & Isaac
Films are cultural artifacts. There is a political and artistic message in every one and we're here to document. On each episode we pick a film; sometimes current and sometimes from the riches of world cinema's 100+ year history, and take a deep dive into what the film is really saying about the world. Both overtly and covertly.
