"It's what's Inside" is one of my favorite movies. But the thing I enjoy the most (yeah, even more than the crazy philosophical shit that happens) is how it makes fun of gen z culture. The overly complicated explanations for no one's benefit, the scenes where there is a focus on a moment that there's nothing important happening with different light and music, the "peep" eye camera...

I tried meeting up with a friend!!! After I slept so much. Upon waking, I had gotten a sore throat. Is this trading my voice to walk like a social human?

#Videodrome is rather good. It's not in every movie you get someone whipping a flesh TV.

And it works so well with the 70s/80s video tape format -- like, you could update to some dark web/video download tale, but it would lose something. It's nice to see fleshy video tapes breathing.

I don't think this movie needs any deep analysis. It seems pretty straight forward to me:

Just contrive the events to make some #BodyHorror and have a couple of weird body horror deaths.

The underground network the film is about is merely a MacGuffin. It's there to drive the plot in an illuminati way, but the only aim of the film is body horror.

And for that it's charmingly honest, I think. Does what you expect from a #Cronenberg movie.

The effects hold up too. Surely, they look a little fake now and then, but very done.
