Videodrome (1983)

Ready for invagination? For the first week of 'Weird Sex Month,' we're returning to Canada to discuss David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983), just in time for its 40th anniversary.

Expect body horror courtesy of FX master Rick Baker, communications theory courtesy of Marshall McLuhan, and oversharing about anatomy courtesy of Trace Thurman.

Plus: wanting more Debbie Harry, feminist and trans readings of Max's situation, talk of the alternate ending, Canadian history lessons, and just how many Americans have guns?
