New Rose Hotel & Demonlover (with Olivia Willke)

Vulgar Vibes continues this week with two cyberpunk thrillers from two world-renowned auteurs. First up, it's Abel Ferrara's feverish adaptation of William Gibson's "New Rose Hotel." Starring Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken and Asia Argento, Ferrara's take on the short story was heavier on vibes than plot, centering much of the action around a prostitution ring moonlighting as a karaoke bar. It's heady sci-fi for people who fuck. After that, we're logging in to the dark web corporate espionage vibes of Olivier Assayas' disturbing, ice cold "Demonlover." Like past podcast favorites, "Gamer" and "Southland Tales," Assayas' film was both radically ahead of its time and a perfect encapsulation of early aughts cyber paranoia.

Film critic and writer Olivia Willke joins us to show her unabashed love for all things Ferrara and Demonlover to ask the question... what happens when vibes meet plot?
