03. David Cronenberg

Steven, Benjamin, and Sean finally deep-dive the directorial filmography of Canadian auteur film maker David Cronenberg. A master of psychological intensity, body horror, and the patron saint of psychosexual science fiction, Cronenberg’s filmograpy runs the gamut from head-popping, stomach-churning horror to supernatural thriller with pit stops at biographical history, comic book adaptations, and mind bending science fiction. He’s a director who won’t just get under your skin; he’ll rewire your whole nervous system while he’s there, and then make that the point of the film.

With Sean the resident Cronenberg fanatic, and Benjamin already (largely) a fan, Steven is, for once, the newcomer here having previously only seen a handful of Cronenberg’s movies. Join us as we run through the theatrical filmography in non-chronological order from Shivers to Maps to the Stars.
