having only seen the thumbnail and not read any comments:

did you guys make James Woods

The director, Jim Isaac, had done effects work on THE FLY, NAKED LUNCH, and EXISTENZ, and Cronenberg was sort of a mentor to him, so that's why he's in this. Isaac directed a few other movies, but unfortunately passed away in 2012.

(Robert A. Silverman, the sleepy man on the videophone, was also a frequent Cronenberg collaborator. Basically this movie is Canadian as fuck)

the best Film & 40s are when the podcast is still going after the credits have ended because no one can explain what just happened

DAN RYCKERT IS THE LIVING MANIFESTATION OF DESTINY

Seeing this deep callback on the front page put a big smile on my face.

for what it's worth, I was able to run to my local Vintage Stock and buy a used copy of the Unrated DVD for $6. This and National Treasure were the only movies in this run of Film & 40s I hadn't seen before and this was a damn sight better than NT. Found it hugely entertaining, if not for the intended reasons.

a couple of my favorite movies (AMERICAN GRAFFITI and PUNISHER WAR ZONE) come up in this commentary. Also, a Keanu retrospective after this would rock.

The options screen music in Twin Goddesses just sounds like they stole an Emerson, Lake & Palmer track.

I think my 3 would be Persona 5, Pyre and Super Mario Odyssey. I respect and even occasionally dig Nier: Automata's soundtrack but Cuphead's soundtrack is fucking boring, sorry
