Tonight we enter the original Tron from 1982. Tron follows a computer programmer who is transported inside the software world of a mainframe computer where he interacts with programs in his attempt to escape.

Joining us again is founding member of the Council of the Wise, Joey Bonier.

Back in 1982, David Cronenberg was still a fledging director in Toronto Canada. Then he made Videodrome and everything changed.

Videodrome follows the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn (James Woods) who is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon "Videodrome," a TV show dedicated to even trashier TV than he could've imagined, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend (Deborah Harry) auditions and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that reality may not be what it seems.

We'll talk about the movie, do our Trivia Challenge, then give it our Wow! Score.

In a world where trashy TV has basically taken over, we'll check out this macabre masterpiece and see if it holds up, if the horrors of today far surpass Cronenberg's imagination. So come and talk about it with us and-- long live the new flesh!

Nationites! Today we revisit Ghost In The Shell. No, we’re not talking about that crappy live-action remake, we’re talking about the OG Ghost in the Shell, circa 1995. This cyberpunk classic is set in a near future when the line between humans and robots is blurring. The plot follows the Major (Johansson), a cyborg supersoldier who investigates her past, and unravels a deeper conspiracy.

We’ll talk about its long legacy, see if it holds up, and give it our Wow! score.

This episode was originally recorded back on May 16, 2020. Enjoy!
