Episode Details

In this bonus episode, we take a look at David Cronenberg's latest film that's a possible return to the body horror aficionado, Crimes of the Future. Starring Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart, the film follows Mortensen as a performance artist who has vestigial organs removed on stage in a dystopian future. Kristen Stewart plays a perfect weirdo obsessed with his art and his evolutionary advances. It's a wild film that deserves multiple rewatches, to say the least. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley and critic Yashar Pirasteh joins Chris to talk about the film, Cronenberg's films, and organ removal.
