After years of hearing from censors that violent media images cause harm, David Cronenberg made a movie... in which violent media images cause harm. We discuss VIDEODROME (1983) - its media satire, its sexual/gender politics, and its vision of how technology influences reality. PLUS: the Prime Minister enters the Barbieheimer discourse, and further thoughts on Sound of Freedom.

Great episode, saw this movie as a young teenager on cable TV on IFC around 1 am, a great setting for such a film. Would love to see you guys do a companion episode on Olivier Assayas's "Demonlover" (2002) a wonderful film with similar themes that is steeped in post 9/11 energy.

“It's completely unclear where the conspiracy begins or ends, it's completely unclear whose perspective is authentic or rooted in objective reality.” I mean, you could say the same thing about Orwell’s 1984, as Luke found out recently with his reading and discussion. And Orwell’s world was similarly based on technology, not of entertainment but of surveillance (although in Huxley’s Brave New World social control WAS based on entertainment…and drugs plus bioengineering). Do you guys think Soderberg is taking from this tradition?
