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!

Eo355: Crimes of the Future – WGT

Posted on by

Well, time has come yet again for us to piss off a large portion of the horror community. There is no middle ground when it comes to David Cronenberg, either you love the guy, or you hate him. We’re here today to draw a line in the sand!

Cronenberg is back in what is being touted as “his return to sci-fi horror” with 2022’s Crimes of the Future. In a world where pain no longer exists and the world is devoid of feeling, surgery is the new sex. How can it be bad, right? Surgery, plus sex, plus the godfather of body-horror equals awesome movie. Right? RIGHT?!

Ep287: Possessor – WGT

Posted on by

Howdy-do there, little dorks! Boy, oh boy! Do we have a special treat for you? No. No, we don’t have a special treat for you. What do you think this is?!

I’ll tell you what. I don’t want you to have come all this way and leave empty handed. So here’s what I’m going to do. For absolutely no charge, I’m going to give you our thoughts on 2020’s Possessor. (Review at 39:55) How’s that move ya, huh? It’s written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg; his dad did The Fly, ya know.

Not enough, huh? Well, the guys also read some kind words from iTunes, discuss some cool destructible board games, and a little spooky game called Love, Sam. Take it or leave it, pal!

Ha! Ha! Ha! What a good story, Rhett.

I think he’s come to hurt everybody. I think he wants to do nasty things. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 287!
