EPISODE 406: eXistenZ

Posted on by

It’s Cronenberg time. A bit of a spiritual successor to Videodrome, 1999’s eXistenZ sees Papa Cronenberg fucking with gaming and virtual reality in his characteristically cerebral, absurd, and physically repellent way.

eXistenZ joins Dark City and The Matrix as late 90’s, pre-millenium forays into the notion of simulated reality and this is definitely the most surreal of the bunch, and possibly the most prophetic. This is Jorge’s first viewing in a couple decades and Jacob’s first ever. Enjoy and long live the new flesh!

“You’re stuck now, aren’t you? You want to go back  because there’s nothing happening here. We’re safe. It’s boring. It’s worse than that. I’m not sure… I’m not sure here, where we are, is real at all. This feels like a game to me. And you, you’re beginning to feel a bit like a game character.” It’s The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 406!

Ep196: Dead Ringers – WGT

Posted on by

For quite a while now we’ve been hearing people say, “Who Goes There Podcast only covers newer movies”. The more aggressive of them will even claim, “Who Goes There Podcast doesn’t like older movies”. Well, today we’re here to put the kabosh on all of this nonsense. This week our very own cinephile android Rhett was given the opportunity to chose his very first movie for the show! Prepare yourselves, for this week we discuss David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers. (Review starts at 19:32) On a completely unrelated note, Rhett is never allowed to chose a movie again.

And now, this very store here is where Kool, from Kool & the Gang, worked before he exploded unto the disco scene. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 196!
