Episode 56: David Cronenberg - Blockbuster Film School

What this episode covers

How would you react to finding four inch long hairs up n down your back? What if your chest grew a secreting orifice with hidden weapons inside? Let’s be honest: we all want to be dude from Scanners popping coworkers’ heads like pimples. Our bodies are haunted houses, and David Cronenberg is the architect holding the blueprints for the newest additions. He became the master of body horror by directing an impressive list of films where the killer isn’t just calling from upstairs, it’s living under our finger nails. This semester of Blockbuster Film School takes on anatomy. It’s real nasty but fun as hell.
