eXistenZ (1999) w Science Fiction Remnant

 

On today's episode.  The Vern is joined by the hosts of Science Fiction Remnant Podcast. Gio, Robert and later Ray to discuss the virtual reality mind bender, eXistenZ.  This film from David Cronenberg weaves a tale where virtual reality looks very similar to our own and  game  systems and controllers are organic and can input into us with phallic like connecters.  Yup It's what you expect from our favorite body horror maestro from Canada.

Giant From The Unknown 1958 (Written Review)

 

Giant From The Unknown

Cast:  Ed Kemmer, Sally Frasser, Morris Ankrum

Writers: Frank Hart Taussig, Ralph Brook

Director:  Richard E Cunha

Giant from the Unknown is a very schlocky B horror movie made with love and devotion that I can’t really get mad about the outcome of it, despite its flaws.  The premise of a Spanish warrior whose body gets revived and now seeks revenge thanks to an Indian tribal curse is something we have seen before.  It was used as plot points in the horror classics Poltergeist, The Shining and many more.  What I appreciate most about this movie is that at the time of release.  Westerns were still a big thing and a lot of those shows had the Native Americans focused as the bad guys.  So to have this movie say to American audiences at that time that these are consequences for stealing the land of people who were here first is a kind of a bold move.

Possessor(2020)

 

On today's show, The Vern is joined once again by film critic and composer, David Rosen of Piecing It Together to talk about Brandon Cronenberg's sophomore effort, Possessor.  They each review this mind bending Sci Fi feature and than discuss some of the most iconic moments in it.
