Episode 48 - Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) - "Sleek Schlong Symbolism"

On this week’s episode, spring isn’t the only thing that’s awakening. We’re celebrating Pete’s Birthday! And for the birthday boys pick, we’ve dived into the world of flesh consumed by metal with 1989’s “Tetsuo The Iron Man”. Join us as we step back into the wondrous world of independent filmmaking and marvel at just how visually stunning this movie looks, and how miserable of a shoot it was. This is a film who’s influences are very present in it’s grungy, phallic, cyberpunk aesthetic, yet maintains an identity and vibe all it’s own. Also discussed are the films potential influence on the art of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, how much is enough to ask your friend to come help out on your first film shoot, and how in the end, this is really story of queer love overcoming all obstacles. So kick your feet up, relax and let the the sheer sexual thrill take hold of you on this week’s episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!” Follow us: Email: [email protected]: @Ididntneedtoseethatpod
