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. Along the way, we debate whether Videodrome is a masterpiece, a fever dream, or just one giant stomach-vagina hallucination. 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.
