133. The Dead Zone (1983)

Johnny Smith awakens from a five year coma with the ability to receive psychic visions, including Martin Sheen in crazy striped pajamas! This week we're covering the distinctly non-horror The Dead Zone. Master of body-horror David Cronenberg helms what might be one of the least Cronenbergian movies in his filmography (at least we think. We haven't seen Fast Company). How does the pairing of folksy humanist Stephen King mix with the cold detachment of David Cronenberg? Listen and find out!

Finally, we discuss TV shows that made the jump from the silver screen to the boob tube.
