Videodrome Movie Review

[@HigHrvatski]

Imagine Cronenberg directing "Babe". During the "That'll do pig" scene, the pig would turn inside out while the farmers eyes would explode.

[@judsongaiden9878]

I wanna see that. Like, *really* wanna see that. Not that I would fap to it or anything. *-_-;* Have you seen 'Lily C.A.T.'?

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

Maybe not; George Miller , the director of Mad.Max directed Babe. Maybe Cronnenberg could direct a family friendly movie too.

[@elscorpio4821]

Fantastic video to pop up after just finishing work, would love to see you tackle The Fly someday

[@cykosloth6800]

that would be a good review

[@elscorpio4821]

I love all of his reviews, that one would be extra special though because the The Fly (86) is one of the greatest horror films of all time!!!!

[@ZillMob]

The fly is another one of the first weirdo movies I ever saw. A good freshman year flick. Videodrome is more sophomore/junior. What were some of your early intros into cinema

[@damnielm0]

It’s good to see these comments and just have watched that review yesterday.

[@noeyes9378]

Well that was...........weird

[@haruruben]

"when they removed my hemorrhoids ... it was called Baywatch Nights"... genius

[@AngelShadow123]

you've honestly become my favourite movie reviewer! your videos are so funny and well done, i've binge-watched them all and i can't wait for your next ones! :)

[@mattyc409]

Dude dont watch a serbian film its worse than human centipede

[@notdoingmeth6579]

Depends on what affects you more. It may not be worse.

[@AlichinoAi]

Ohhh it’s worse alright. Lmfao

[@milliepearl967]

Depends what kind of gore makes you sick I guess

[@persephoneblack888]

I can't watch a Serbian Film, just knowing about that scene with the pregnant lady and the baby... no thank you.

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

I prefer Human Centipede.

[@ectopasta]

nothing better than chronenberg and coffee to start the day

[@jessicaconner1242]

For the love of god and everything that is holy DON’T watch a Serbian film..

[@jeanpaulpascal8479]

It really isn't that bad in my opinion almost felt like a comedy at times , Martyrs(the original one) on the other hand was horrifying though

[@nuclearpeanuts4285]

@@jeanpaulpascal8479 true. serbian film has such a huge reputation that everyone thinks of it as this unholy grail of disturbing movies but in actuality its just a lot of blood and sex with an almost humorous plot that is just so over the top that it gets silly and almost comedic at times.

[@baconingbad]

NuclearPeanuts I mean, shit like newborn baby rape porn etc sure is gut-wrenching and vomit-inducing. But other than that it’s indeed a really stupid movie that offers nothing, but shock content.

[@mikesilva3868]

Dont watch killdozer or mac and me or manos hands of fate 😊

[@agingerbeard]

Your endless puns have given me a lot of laughter in a rough start to this new year just want to thank you for providing some levity and actually getting me to laugh. I give this channel 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@mattyc409]

Yay another one. Good job mate

[@01What10]

If you see any of the interviews with the cast and crew of Videodrome; the original script that got James Woods, Debbie Harry, and Rick Baker (SFX specialist on the film, same guy who did the SFX on American Werewolf in London.) interested in doing the project, was far more insane and strange than the final product we ended up getting. Cronenberg was re-writing the script as they were filming. Re-writing scenes sometimes as they were filming them, or the week and day before. The making of Videodrome is a really interesting story. I highly recommend picking up the Criterion Collection version, as the extras on the Blu-ray (the version I bought) really delve into how chaotic the process was, and you would never know it when you watch the film. Videodrome is a classic and was absolutely ahead of it's time. It was also prescient in many ways about the future of TV, and video entertainment. Some of the lines in the film, like Brian O'Blivion mentions that one day we will all be going by different names, like stage names. Oh, how right he was. He just didn't know it would be on the internet rather than TV. There are so many of these little moments that just sets Videodrome apart from many of its contemporaries.

[@F3NRISBR0THER]

As great as usual. Looking forward to more!👍

[@DanielleCateley1]

The electric mixer comment made me ugly laugh oh wow 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅 You read my mind there 😂😂😂😅

[@AlichinoAi]

I’m so glad I got a warning at the beginning because I wouldn’t not have been ready xD

[@nickfanzo]

This movie is amazing. Watch it

[@torsha8668]

Hey, you kind, hilarious, amazing sir. You're freaking amazing, I just cannot even. My midterms starts from Monday and I'm so stressed, you don't even know, and you YOU made this study break so worth it. I forgot the stress and BS of life and crap, so THANK YOU. I appreciate you so much, thank you for doing what you do. Also, PS, I really loved your videos with Queen Bee, so would love to see them! PSS: OH MY GOOD GOD I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

[@stogdyy]

YES ANOTHER VIDEO!!! To enjoy 👍👍👍 cant wait for the next one

[@admech590]

When the TV pulsates, I get flashbacks to when I used to do shrooms. Crazy shit, very accurate to what happens. Everything looks like it's breathing. I even remembering doing a 4g trip, BIG MISTAKE. Don't ever do an ego death unless less you plan ahead of time. That's the trip where you hallucinate proper, I'm talking faces and eyes appearing from nowwhere screaming at you, fractal colors cascade and boom in your peripheral like an ocean of light. My sister was so mad when I overdid it😂😩. But yeah, will never do it again, maybe when I'm older and more responsible and with friends, but right now, hell no...

[@marshallmcluhan33]

I just wrote for an hour and now all of its gone and I’m very upset with myself so here I am

[@lsimon343]

I’ve missed you!!! Another winner- glad to see others are discovering u!

[@anitarichmond8930]

I remember catching this one and The Naked Lunch , what's to be said perhaps they were over my head? 📺

[@janedoex1398]

Read Naked lunch, Junkie and Nova Express and you'll get an idea of W.S.B.

[@ronaldowens5025]

@@janedoex1398 I'm more a city of the red night guy myself. I used to give new and potential friends Naked Lunch to read early on. Just to get a measure of them, I don't hang out with a lot of people it weeds out the weak fairly easily. If they made it past page 17 without giving up I stuck with them.

[@genericusername8578]

Man I love this movie! Strange but oddly fascinating.

[@danderson8431]

THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING WONDERFALLS!!!!!

[@kingkwaan]

There were no girls and cups or blue waffles... That is hilarious cause unfortunately I know what you mean.

[@thecoldglassofwatershow]

Also no lemon party and no goatse thankfully

[@lizzyhawkins600]

I'm bingeing your videos at the moment, you're my favourite KZbinr!!!

[@steeleye2112]

David Paul CRONENBERG is arguably one of the greatest director's of all time and I think this is my favourite of his films so far.

[@The_0nly_N0VA]

insane to me that a good portion of the folks watching this only known David Cronenberg via Rick and Morty...i mean, i love the show, but i hope those whom have discovered Cronenberg via Rick and Morty have done some deeper digging in order to discover the glorious tumour in the rough that is Cronenberg Cinema. keep up the magnificent work, Mr. Bee! (as i'm sure you can tell by my comments randomly peppered throughout the comment sections of your video in the span of a single evening, i'm buzzin' through your videography...)

[@theegh05t]

lol, perfect timing on that ad break.

[@themoviebufferspodcast]

I’m doing this for my new episode! Yours was really fun to watch. This is my first time thoroughly watching VideoDrome Thanks for the vid!

[@Dat_Guys_Wise]

I interpreted the ending as his programming telling him his death would end videodrome. In reality it was just getting rid of him because he was no longer useful.

[@rotterdammer5243]

As a Canadian, I just adore Cronenberg`s films, especially Naked Lunch, which I play while I paint. Interesting enough, I`ve never seen this flick. I`m gonna watch it now, thanx for the review.

[@itsstrange4538]

I love your level of sarcasm it's so delightful

[@natemccabe1479]

I fucken love your videosss!!! Your humour is so refreshing

[@MyNamesComics]

You’re comedy is definitely improving, great video!

[@plaguedoctormasque8089]

I love David Cronenberg!!!!

[@Zaetren]

that part where you mentioned violence in our cartoons, I hope you were thinking of tom and jerry, loved that growing up.

[@Zaetren]

bonus fact, jerry was my favourite.

[@theNewBee]

My mind went to Looney Tunes, but T&J are good examples too

[@flowerfunk6398]

this is literally the best channel on youtube

[@hago66]

When he has several jokes

[@laurahcathie1882]

🤣🤣 been waiting to get home to watch this since the notification 🐝 keep up the good work 🧡🤪🤟🏻

[@robbiethecontroller9642]

Imagine if there was a Soft reboot of this movie where where it's about the Internet and the characters thought that this weird link was from a Dark web porn Studio.

[@sinister6971]

Hey man just found your channel the other day and I love what you do

[@StarWarriorCentral]

3:08 Correction: '80s music fans will know her as the SINGER for Blondie. Blondie is the group, consisted of (at the time) Deborah Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri, Nigel Harrison, and Frank Infante.

[@theNewBee]

But we called her Blondie lol

[@StarWarriorCentral]

@@theNewBee It's just strange how so many people did that (including my parents) because Blondie was the name of the group. She even stated "Blondie, that's the name of the group" in her appearance on The Muppet Show. But the group WAS named from how passing drivers would call out at her, saying "Hey, blondie!"

[@lemagloria]

yay my favorit KZbin review!! after eding explain you two are great!!!

[@kaitlynl660]

Good luck I hope you get to 50k soon!

[@michaeljones2925]

By watching this awesome channel I've learned one thing. Don't run away from it don't deface it embrace it......thank you so much for the sickness and the wonderful humor

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

When the guy started face sucking the giant lips on the pulsating T.V. I thought that was so weird and crazy, but then the jokes just made me laugh like hell, always funny.

[@187mrsmith]

This movie is still more relevant today than ever now accept wit tvs its smartphones an the Internet

[@IndigobluBeauty]

My 8 yr old self apparently understood it just as well as my now 43 yr old self aka “not at all”. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤨🤔This movie used to give me nightmares though

[@bryantwillis1029]

So it’s like a Serbian Film but America

[@persephoneblack888]

Not even close to a Serbian Film lol

[@bryantwillis1029]

Persephone Black in terms of like filming gross sex and torture and shit

May I recommend the original Oldboy before you watch a Serbian Film at 50k

[@bethalynnmarie]

Yesss!! Please watch it!

[@joanneellison4066]

Have you ever seen "Dead Ringers"? It is another David Cronenberg movie and it doesn't get enough attention. Jeremy Irons gives an amazing performance! Would love to see you review that.

[@PaulOrtiz]

So I watched this the other night. And...I’m pretty sure I watched this somehow when I was really young. Because I remembered a TONNE of it. Still, I turned out okay...I think....ish...

[@ZillMob]

Was "this is the new bee" an intentional reference to the new flesh? Was it more, just your sign off? I guess I'm asking, was it a conscious/deliberet thought?

[@amethystwolf5373]

Your commentary on the movie makes it better 🤣

[@sinister6971]

And someone get this man too 50k

[@priorcampeao3901]

Hello,could you guys post a video talking about the movie "Exterminadores do Além contra a Loira do banheiro" I'm sorry for the english mistakes!

[@kennethmatthew9638]

I was thinking of getting this from arrow video just because i love cronenberg, naked lunch being my favorite

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

Videodrome is one of those cult movies, like Zardoz or Altered States (two other interesting movies for your channel), that can be analysed endlessly. It's my favorite Cronenberg movie. I also like The Fly and Existenz.

[@UnwrittenSpade]

Haha James “No Twitter” Woods

[@ge2719]

ive seen this movie a bunch of times now. its one of those movies where i have no idea what happened after i watch it. what scenes i do rememeber i cant remember what order any of it happens in. im not even certain i didnt just fall asleep and missed half of it.

[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

Max turned Harlan's hand into a World War I style hand grenade. You see, it's a "hand" grenade, har de har... That was Cronenberg's idea of a joke. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stielhandgranate

LONG LIVE THE NEW BEE

[@AJfromeOG]

you need more subs!

[@SammieLuvable]

I knew it!!! Thank you for this :)

[@MatthewSuffidy]

I guess what is really disturbing about this movie is the idea of a visual conduit of either infected insanity, or physically altering mind control. Luckily in reality neither of these actually exist. I guess you could reboot it into a Matrix today.

[@nurijanian]

i did not expect to lol at this video but I did, great stuff thank you

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

Entertaining and funny review. Maybe you could consider Exiztenz for a future review. It s inferior to Videodrome , but treats similar subjects.

[@mightaswhale]

The fact that I was unable to follow this review means I need to watch this film myself.

[@lsimon343]

How did I not think of this before !! NIGHT BREED!!!!

[@PrinnyKing3]

I always assumed there was a pretty decent chance that the hallucinations weren't hallucinations at all. The idea behind the titular videodrome is that it's a reality beyond reality. It has the power to give Max cancer and make him undergo visionary experiences. It's possible he truly did need to forego his mortal meat form to give birth to the new flesh.

[@lunamoonstone2350]

this was weird but i would like to see you review the fly
