48: The Cell & A Cure for Wellness (with Mariko Enkoji-Busch)

We're celebrating big budget body horror this week on the podcast by revisiting two of the most bonkers movies that ever slipped through the cracks of some of Hollywood's biggest studios. Actress and designer Mariko Enkoji-Busch joins us to discuss the 2000 Jennifer Lopez thriller "The Cell" and the more recent studio bomb "A Cure for Wellness" from "The Ring" director Gore Verbinski. Are we just nostalgic for studios writing blank checks to visually ambitious directors to take their big swings or were the critics completely off base for these hard R thrillers? And more importantly, what does it mean to be a "cummy actor" and who is the cummiest of them all? There's only one place to find out.

"The Cell" is streaming with ads on Tubi and available to rent wherever you rent movies. "A Cure for Wellness" is available to rent on iTunes and all the usual rental streaming apps.
