Episode description

We are the video word made flesh!

Happy Halloween everyone! Chandler and Jack talk go all the way back to '83 to talk about David Cronenberg's seminal sci-fi horror parable VIDEODROME. Topics of discussion include the pervasiveness of media within culture, analog tech, practical effects work, social commentary, and horror as speculative fiction. Also, Jack goes on many a detour about how cool John Carpenter is and the symbolism in post-punk music. Stay tuned! This is a good one, folks.
