David Cronenberg: Master of Body Horror | Influential Horror Directors Finale

David Cronenberg: Master of Body Horror | Influential Horror Directors Finale

Welcome to the season finale of our Influential Horror Director Series! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the strange, squishy, and utterly unforgettable world of David Cronenberg — one of the most influential horror film directors of all time.

From Videodrome to The Fly, Scanners to Crash, Cronenberg carved out an entirely new subgenre: body horror. We’ll talk about the way his films explore transformation, disease, technology, sexuality, and the terrifying ways our own bodies can betray us. Expect discussions of gooey practical effects, his signature psychological underpinnings, and the themes that continue to inspire generations of filmmakers.

But it’s not all academic! We also bring our usual blend of humor and horror-geek enthusiasm. Along the way, you’ll get:

  • Our favorite David Cronenberg movies and why they still hold up

  • Insights into how his themes reshaped horror and sci-fi

  • Memorable Cronenberg quotes and WTF moments

  • Reflections on the entire Influential Director Series (and a tease of what’s next!)

Whether you’re a longtime Cronenberg fan or just body-horror-curious, this is the perfect episode to wrap up the season.

Listen now and join the conversation!

Narcissistic Abuse in A Place Among the Dead - Juliet Landau and Deverill Weekes

Narcissistic Abuse in A Place Among the Dead - Juliet Landau and Deverill Weekes

In conversation with Juliet Landau (Drusilla in Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and Deverill Weekes (Producer, Cinematographer) about their film A Place Among the Dead. The film is a revealing and terrifying meld of fact, fiction and the fantastical, actress and filmmaker “Jules,” driven by the demons of her past, embarks on a journey at the potential cost of everything she knows and loves. It explicates what it is like to live under the sway of narcissism. A Place Among the Dead features Juliet Landau, Gary Oldman, Robert Patrick, Ron Perlman, Lance Henriksen, Anne Rice and Joss Whedon. We throw in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer version of the Trivia with Shan game. Juliet and Dev mention two of our previous episodes that they enjoyed that deal with Narcisissistic pathology. The links are below. The Invisible Man & Narcissistic Abuse Vampires are Narcissists Some coercive control legislation: SB 1141 People of the Lie - M. Scott Peck The Drama of the Gifted Child - Alice Miller Out of the Fog - Dana Morningstar The Fantasy Bond - Robert W.
