RSS Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 This Holiday limbo episode of Dread Media sees a clear departure from tradition, as Desmond and Darryll spend almost an hour talking about the Criterion release of David Cronenberg's Videodrome! Canadian television, the 1980s, and a certain actress' assets are also discussed. But the two go deep as well. Deep as a stomach vagina. Tunes included: "TV Casualty" by The Misfits, "All Hail the New Flesh" by Strapping Young Lad, and "Television" by Bad Religion.

Guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Looks like I need to grab the Criterion release. My version of Videodrome is utterly featureless. Great discussion. I laughed, I cried, I gained a new phobia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I just ordered the Criterion DVD. I'll post my thoughts after I've had a chance to go through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 This was an absolutely engrossing discussion that engaged me from start to finish. It went from being funny, to being deep and downright philosophical. I agree with your double feature of NETWORK and VIDEODROME and I'd add these two movies if anybody wants to make a full day of it: A FACE IN THE CROWD and BAMBOOZLED. Right there you've got the four best movies ever made about Our God Television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have not liked most of what Spike Lee films I've seen. I find him very preachy. I will definitely check it out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I like Spike Lee but I have to admit that in most of his movies he's less interested in telling a story than he is in exploring his own issues with race/politics/sex/whatever. But BAMBOOZLED does tell a solid story and he gets amazing performances from Damon Wayans, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Michael Rappaport and Savion Glover.

D-Man Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I was a fan of JUNGLE FEVER back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm finally listening now, and, Darryll, you just blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
