Episode 14 - Early David Cronenberg: The "Squishy" Years

The Retro Podcast Massacre

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONLY LIGHT SPOILERS
In this episode, Val explores the crazy, sticky, scary and maybe-misogynistic world of David Cronenberg.
We open at the Van Nostrand Institute for Scary Science Fiction Ideas where a bunch of science nerds have invented Oblivio-Cast, the next generation in podcasting which may or may not cause sexual insanity and/or head explosions.
With that silliness out of the way, Val reviews the first three films from the King of Body Horror. In "Shivers" a luxury apartment complex is taken over by rampant sex zombies.
In Cronenberg's second film, "Rabid", Marilyn Chambers runs amok with her vampire armpit, which is turning mild-mannered Canadians into drooling snot-monsters.
Finally, David Cronenberg works out his marital issues in "The Brood" which features Samantha Eggar as a woman who uses her womb to wreak revenge on those who have wronged her.
In addition to the above reviews, we'll also feature our usual PETS IN PERIL ALERT and we introduce a new segment CELEBRITY ANECDOTE CORNER.
