In this episode, I join Chris and Wythe from the Why We Roll Podcast to analyze David Cronenberg's cult classic Videodrome . We explore its themes of technology, media, and the human condition, discussing the film's initial reception and rise to cult status. We examine the character of Max Ren, played by James Woods, and the male gaze's implications on sexuality and power dynamics, as well as the film's philosophical layers surrounding identity. We also consider Cronenberg's body horror elements as metaphors for existential dilemmas, particularly as Max navigates the influence of Videodrome . The conversation draws parallels between the film and contemporary media technologies, questioning whether they enhance or diminish our humanity. We conclude by reflecting on the lasting impact of Videodrome and its relevance in today's media landscape.
