Hello, my name is Justin the Clueh. I'm here today with Will Sloan.

And you're listening to the spooky important cinema club.

Shocktober.

I stole your.

I want to suck your blood.

It's alive. It's alive.

It's alive.

So this week, we're talking about something that we always get messages along the lines of,

you haven't talked about David Cronenberg yet?

It's true.

We've never talked about David Cronenberg.

He's one of the most recognizable names in cinema.

I think he is the default consensus choice of most famous Canadian director of all time. And we've never talked about him before. Why is that? I feel because he's been talked to death. Yeah. And at any point that we're going to make, there is like 30 books on the subject or other podcasts that have talked about him. And we didn't even try to approach it from an interesting angle. Like, we're only going to talk about Fast Company and M. Butterfly. No, no, no, no. This is a

Shocktober. We're talking about his horror films that everybody knows. So, speaking of points

that everybody already knows, let me just quote Mr. Joe Bob Briggs, who in his book,

profoundly disturbing, described Kronenberg as... Twelve body, twenty breasts!

The first director to make the human body itself the source of all horror.

He took the Frankenstein myth and made it universal.

He created entire worlds in which everyone is Dr. Frankenstein, and everyone is also the creature.

Folks, you knew that already.

I knew that already.

He's the body horror guy.
