Summary
Welcome to Nightmare Alley; the detour podcast from Nightmare on Film Street. This secret back alley is where horror hosts Kim & Jon talk with notable horror filmmakers and creators about their exciting and terrifying work in the genre space! This week, we sit down with fellow Canuck Brandon Cronenberg to discuss his just-released mindf*ck Possessor, starring Andrea Riseborough as a cerebral body-swapping assassin with an identity crisis. We talk evil corporations and their devious experiments, getting that good good gratuitous violence via practical means, and laugh about how many kids are going to be traumatized via seeing Possessor in their rearview mirrors at the drive-in. Joinn uss..
