LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH! This week, Jared and Clint dive deep into the realms of the cathode ray tube as they discuss 1984’s Videodrome, directed by David Cronenberg. This mid-80s sci-fi mindscrew about a mysterious TV signal that causes hallucinations in its victims is one of the Canadian auteur’s weirdest and best. Check out out custom cocktail and drinking rules below!
(Thanks to our sponsor Field Notes as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)
DRINKING RULES FOR VIDEODROME:
- Any time a character says “Videodrome”
- Every time you hear squelching noises (from all the body horror)
- Whenever you see a splash of bright color in the otherwise dim palette of the film
FINISH YOUR DRINK WHEN:
Max Renn whispers at the end of the film, “Long live the new flesh.”
Join us next week as we saddle up and gather a crew of charismatic outlaws to watch the 1961 Western classic The Magnificent Seven!
