Episode 106 - David Cronenberg & The Mad Scientist Trope

This week Abby is joined by Sarah Quincy to talk about the history of filmmaker David Cronenberg and how his work intersects with the "Mad Scientist" trope. We specifically focus on Shivers (1975), The Fly (1986) and Dead Ringers (1988). Of course, we also talk through his latest film Crimes of The Future (2022).

Content warning, we discuss body horror and themes of sexual assault.
