GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC: “The Dead Zone” with Violet Lucca

Violet Lucca, film critic and author of the new, essential book David Cronenberg: Clinical Trials, joins us to talk about one of Mr. Cronenberg’s early hits, The Dead Zone. Hear us revel in the pleasures of Walken and the various ways critics found to deem the film “tasteful” and “restrained,” and marvel at the silliness of an insane amoral strongman somehow becoming President of the United States.
