In this episode of the show we are leaving behind Stephen-King-Tober and begin David-Crono-Vember with a discussion about the 1981 Scanners. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie putting Cronenberg on the map of the stars (sic!) of the American entertainment industry, how it was made on a shoestring with half a script, how it shows its seams and whether it matters or not. We also talk about Michael Ironside and his Jack Nicholson energy, Stephen Lack and his lack of onscreen presence, medical scandals and conspiracies, exploding heads and whether Scanners is a good movie or a bad movie with great moments.

Tune in and enjoy!
