Filmmaker reacts to Videodrome (1983) for the FIRST TIME!

[@Bawookles]

David Cronenberg is flat out one of the greatest horror directors of all time. The guy was the MASTER of Body Horror and all the psychological and philosophical stuff behind it.

[@nuascannan]

It still affects me, 40 years later

[@tjwhisenhunt1089]

Cronenberg and Carpenter are the goats of horror

[@jags333]

Should just binge Cronenberg after this movie, The Fly, Eastern Promises, and Scanners are the first that come to mind

[@stuartspencer2161]

@@jags333 A History of Violence is another of his greats. There was also Night Breed, though I preferred the novel by Clive Barker.

[@LoneCloudHopper]

The Brood is a must see.

[@jackal59]

Cronenberg's _Crash_ is brilliant. It is also one of the coldest and most repellent movies ever made. Roger Ebert said it best: it's a film that explores the psychology of sexual fetishism by portraying a fetish that no one actually has and completely denying the audience any opportunity to get off.

[@MxMelissa6]

Incredible film!!

[@xKynOx]

I like scars but crash takes it to far lol

[@matthewjaco847]

Yes! Possibly the most ahead of its time of all of Cronenberg’s body horror masterpieces. Just change the technology they reference, and this film could have been released TODAY. Not to mention that those practical effects still hold up in the most nauseating way imaginable.

[@GForce_ART]

Cronenberg made a movie about the internet before the internet existed. It's like he knew that TV was simply a stepping stone to another medium or even the "virtual world" that we now live in... there's so much in this film that resonates more in 2023 than in the 80s. Crazy. Love this movie. My Fav Cronenberg film.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Social media proved more destructive and more insidious than Videodrome it's elf. Reality itself is slowly becoming subordinate to the algorithm.

[@egglady]

Videodrome is a total masterpiece, so glad you loved it! Cronenberg was so incredibly prophetic about so many things when he made this film. I love that it takes the idea that people who want to censor films always suggest - that violent films will warp people’s minds and make them violent themselves - and makes it literal. Absolute genius.

[@grantg6855]

You always pick the best films man and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Videodrome is special and I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@jimtatro6550]

“LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!!!” Cronenberg is so awesome, check out Scanners, The Brood, Dead Ringers and The History of Violence. He also directed a top tier Stephen King film called The Dead Zone 👍

[@E_l_l_i_e]

We like the same Cronenberg films. Dead Zone is probably the most under-rated Stephen King adaptation. My current favorite Cronenberg film to date has to be Dead Ringers, followed by 2022 Crimes of the Future.

[@mrgmusicclass]

I LOVE the fact that you react to different films from everyone else. A LOT of great stuff out there that hasnt been reacted to yet. You generally choose Great films to watch. Keep em coming

[@MamadNobari]

Yeah I also find some decent old movies I haven't heard of from him when he reacts to them. It's kinda admirable considering he could probably get hundreds of thousands of views more than these if he watched the new mainstream movies and watched the entire MCU or something. Love that he watches better old movies instead even though they get way less views. Shows his love for cinema and that he's not doing movie reactions solely for making money. Also learn a lot about what the intention of the filmmaker might've been and some details and explanations I might've missed from the movie from his commentary.

[@Mxchida]

Videodrome make me think of the quote by Friedrich Nietzsche “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

[@aldokurti3272]

This is one is an all time classic.The predictions this film echoes in real life sent shivers down my spine.

[@Dystopia1111]

Cronenburg also had a really memorable acting role in Clive Barker's 'Nightbreed'. I would 100% recommend checking that out just to see all the freaky character/creature designs.

[@krono5el]

Cronenberg movies are incredible for kids growing up, insane visuals and ideas that just ignite the imagination. That Scanners scene stuck with all of us who saw that under the age of like ten : P

[@craigperry5389]

One of my all time favorites. And the fact that it was released -- albeit reluctantly -- by Universal... with THAT ending... is a cinematic miracle.

[@kevinpauley-dadbodstyle2935]

The visuals were done by the legendary Rick Baker, who brought us the greatest werewolf transformation ever put to screen with An American Werewolf in London! So glad you dug this classic!

[@holdwhatdoor7629]

As others have said Cronenberg is one of the best philosophical horror/body horror directors out there. eXistenz is another fantastic Cronenberg movie that i didn't see too many other people mention. Also another movie with James Woods from the 80s that has a bit of horror and surrealism (though nowhere near on this level) is Cat's Eye. Its a movie of three short stories from Steven King. I haven't seen it in a long time, so I don't know how it holds up, but James Woods is in one of the stories and there's a certain similar vibe in his portion of the story that reminds me of this

[@MamadNobari]

It's funny because two of his movies are the worst most boring pos I've ever seen. Crimes of The Future and Scanners. But on the other hand, the 3 other movies of his I've watched have been decent and some of them really good. I loved eXistenz and it's basically you know what before you know what. Not saying the movie's name to not spoil it. It also had an amazing prediction of the future of gaming too which was wild. Watched The Dead Zone last night and as far as his movies I've seen yet (only these 5), that one has the most straight and less confusing plot out of all of them and I thought it was pretty decent. Just finished watching Videodrome right now and I enjoyed it but I don't think it's better than eXistenz or The Dead Zone. But it has some amazing and really fun practical effects which I really appreciate from his movies. The concept also predicted social media and all that, but didn't really delve into it and the second half kinda loses the momentum and becomes uninteresting apart from the body horror stuff in my opinion. Oh I forgot, I also watched The Fly last week and thought it was pretty decent too. I think his movies have some pretty original ideas and concepts for their times, but apart from eXistenz (which I watched a long time ago and don't exactly remember its pacing) have a really slow pacing and kind makes them boring to an extent, even the good ones. It's also that we've seen so many new movies like X-Men and all that, so these concepts are old news for us and he kinda does the bare minimum with them and that's why at least one of them like Scanners isn't worth watching nowadays.

[@rodolfocalderonmartinez8756]

Note: the book is " mindkiller" by Spider Robinson.

[@snowflakepillow8697]

@15:25 "We make inexpensive glasses for the third world and missile guidance systems for NATO. We also make Videodrome, Max." John Carpenter's They Live really took the "inexpensive glasses" in a different direction.

[@otterpoet]

Of his horror movies, I think _Videodrome_ still speaks heavily to the social consciousness. How our desire for visual stimulation has warped us beyond recognition. Almost prophetic, to be honest. While I love his more grounded projects - History of Violence, for example - I think Cronenberg's explorations of the Flesh remain his most fascinating works. No matter how much makeup there is, he never loses sight of the human soul.

[@JackOiswatching]

You're probably one of the best people who could do a reaction to this film. Cronenberg goes deep and gets real weird so a reaction where people are just in it for the body horror wouldn't do his work justice. I'm gonna check out Mindkiller tonight, can't wait to see what I'm in for!

[@JamesVSCinema]

Have a feeling you’ll love it!

[@thehumanwiII]

Very well put

[@chilicheesejay]

Just found you and immediatly subbed. You killed this review. I'm an 80's kid, and you hit my soul when your cam went to 4:3 mode. I'm an analog junkie living in a digital world, and I'm trying to get my hands on Videodrome on it's old original VHS release. That being said, I absolutely loved your outlook on this even though I'm 41, and living through a modern dystopia in the modern world. They voyeurism that exists now in everyday society almost makes this look tame. James Woods lusting after the woman in the TV is no different than what happens on Twitch now, but he's not emptying out his bank account for a woman pretending to want him. A movie now nearly as old as me at 41 is terrifyingly prescient.

[@thespacetaco5096]

I'm so glad you're checking this out seeing the notification made me ecstatic, I loved this movie immediately for how raw, unhinged and pretty much revolting it was in visuals and subject matter.

[@Sean-gj7vw]

Eyes Wide Shut mixed with Videodrome. 🤔 Check out the movie "Society" (1989) Last time i checked It was still free to watch on youtube .

[@christiaanvandenakker901]

One of my favorite films throughout the decades. I love the score too - I have it on vinyl and cd. The composer is nonother than Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings). He started out in the industry scoring Cronenberg's films, and has gone on to be one of the preeminent composers in the industry. He's scored almost all of Cronenberg's films. This also marks the start of Cronenberg's long-running collaborations with top acting talent in his films. After James Woods, we have the following leading men: Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, Jeremy Irons, Ed Harris, James Spader, Jude Law, Ralph Fiennes, Viggo Mortensen, and Robert Pattinson. Jeremy Irons gave a lovely acknowledgement to Cronenberg for his role in Dead Ringers when he won best actor the following year for Reversal of Fortune. In his early films, Cronenberg has the lovely trick of starting with a metaphor, and - instead of leaving it as something we read between the lines - he makes it literal, physical, and fleshy, and forces us to deal with it front and center.

[@hrblsh]

Oh yeah, this is probably the craziest movie I saw as a teenager! Cronenberg made such great ones. Like Scanners, Rabid, The Brood, Shivers, I like pretty much all of his. Spider is a really good one of his from later in his career. Very different setting and style. Videodrome, at the time it seemed crazy the idea they’d have stuff like that on tv. 😂

[@donaldb1]

_Spider_ is a really great, underrated film, brilliantly acted, subtle, tragic and horrifying.

[@Mike-rk8px]

When “Videodrome” opened in movie theaters in 1983 my older brother and his friends went to see it after taking acid. He said it was one of the most horrific experiences of his life. The first time I watched it I was 16 and I had smoked some weed. I thought Debbie Harry was really gorgeous, that was the only reason I watched it. When her character began using razor blades and burning her breasts with cigarettes, I had to fast forward it. It was an extremely disturbing and bizarre movie, but you couldn’t turn it off. I had to watch it a second time so it made more sense, but it’s still bizarre.

[@DiffensiveE]

[@martinboyle9163]

As a former television producer/director, I love this movie. When I saw that it was YOU reviewing this flick, I had to watch. I find your perspective of this movie to be very interesting. I saw this film when it first hit cable television and I have yet to see anything else like it. Yet, in the same vein is Michael Crichton's 1981 sleeper "Looker." Or, for a more 'uplifting' perspective toward mass media, there is "Max Headroom." Best to you- ♡

When the guy started having the gun morph into his hand all I could think was... "OH SHIT, watch out! He has a "HANDGUN"!"....

[@HillsAliveYT]

Such a classic! If you love this then you'll love nearly every David Cronenberg movie, he ventures out of his wheelhouse sometimes, but nearly every movie he's ever made has had overarching themes of mutilation/corruption of the human body, and he's clearly fascinated with the idea of technology altering humanity/the human form in grotesque ways.

Long live the new flesh! Cronenberg and his body horror 😅 I do love his work, but what a weird and disgustingly creative dude he is. Not sure if you've seen Scanners yet, but it's another Cronenberg must-see. Might blow yoir mind 😉 An extra strange Cronenberg is Dead Ringers, with Jeremy Irons. It recently got remade as a show with Rachel Weisz. For a very different kind of body horror from Cronenberg - Crash (1996), with James Spader

This movie has a Cyber - Noir vibe for me with great use of color and contrast lighting. I love the back and forth confrontation with Bianca O'blivion with how Max walks in and out of shadow while still keeping the colored rim lighting. 20:54 Also, James should poke at reading about Marshall McLuhan who Brian O'blivion was loosely inspired by. Or Google Image search some of his quotes; he had a lot of interesting thoughts on the use of Media.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Despite all the primo body horror, this film can also be said to be an early cyberpunk icon as well.

[@deanjarva1373]

I once tried to watch this film with a girl. I warned her, "It's a little weird." She said, "That's okay, I can handle anything." Halfway through she asked me to turn it off, "this is too weird."

Videodrome is unique beautiful madness, it's almost like watching a movie in a dream. Thanks for the awesome uploads!

[@vandalfinnicus1507]

So many channels do The Fly (which is great), but Videodrome is my favorite. After this, Cronenberg went to hollywood, and directed a pretty decent Stephen King adaptation, The Dead Zone, and then The Fly. For some reason, Cronenberg plays a serial killer in Clive Barker's Nightbreed, which would be excellent Halloween watching also. You mentioned Akira, there's another Japanese film from around the same time, called Tetsuo. That has a man fusing with metal. It's one of the weirdest films ever made.

[@ganjiblobflankis6581]

Imagine a medieval monk got a vision of the industrial revolution and wrote it down. It would be nuts. Tis movie is a slightly less extreme past vision of the future (present). It seemed nuts at the time, but it kind of makes sense now.

Nice James. The resident horror master of Canada. We're all very proud of him. Set in Toronto and shot here too. But seriously, his movies are weird. Very weird... I'm not really a horror fan but, at least with Cronenberg there's always an interesting intellectual component. My favourite Cronenberg film would be Naked Lunch from 1991. Way, way weird...

Fantastic reaction to such a weird film! You might also like David Cronenberg's ExistenZ, which in many ways is sort of a "spiritual successor" to Videodrome.

[@mikecaetano]

David Cronenberg rocks -- The Brood (1979), Scanners (1981), Videodrome (1983), The Dead Zone (1983), Dead Ringers (1988) -- he dropped some serious flicks back when. For eighties scifi psyche horror thillers, don't sleep on The Hidden (1987), Kyle MacLachlan's next film after Blue Velvet. Kinetic plus. Also director Peter Greenaway's contributions A Zed & Two Noughts (1985) and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), more so given the recent passing of Michael Gambon. Horrific rarely looks so stunning.

[@Projeckt]

Awesome reaction! So happy you reacted to Cronenberg. His body horror/philosophy cold film style is one of a kind. You really should react to Videodrome's companion film: Existenz , It's another classic! Speaking of classic, the new Dead Ringers series that just came out, cant hold a candle to Cronenbergs masterpiece film.

I've heard of Mindkiller, I need to read that! I don't know why my dad let me watch this movie when I was a kid in the 80s haha but I loved it.

You might really enjoy these two films and they would make awesome reactions - NIRVANA (1997) Christopher Lambert stars, Italian cyberpunk about VR; and BRAINSTORM (1983) Christopher Walken stars, about being able to record and relive others memories.

Rick Baker did the visual effects, he is a legend. He worked on American Werewolf in London and The Howling at the same time doing the incredible transformation effects. He has done many works like Gremlins, the Wolfman and Men In Black ect. You may enjoy Altered States which he also worked on, very similar theme to this film. I always saw this film as an early The Matrix. I would've loved a sequel to this with Max as a Morpheus figure.

He had some controversial takes on movies, but he loved messed up movies like Videodrome. He rightly picked up on the bit about “we will all have special names” and how the movie is about video controlling and altering human life and he quipped to his camera “my god this is a movie about KZbin!” 😂

[@matthewcollingwood2990]

"Oblivion is not my real name, its my television name...soon all of us will have special names"......as I stare at a screen and look down the comments and see everyones chosen special name....Cronenberg saw the future and rather than warn us, just showed us the vision of what we would become. The morphing of human and tech although literal in this example, has already begun with people finding it almost impossible to detach from their phones/social media...The accuracy in the message is the horror, and we are living it for real, those who have not or do not adjust are invisible and forgotten in todays world. Scary Ish !
