In preparation for its pending remake by the Soska Sisters, Sarah and Adam discuss how David Cronenberg’s Rabid inspired the plague horrors of 28 Days Later and the sexual terrors of It Follows. Rabid’s also the story of how stem cells create a killer penis that lives in a porn star’s armpit, which makes even less sense than it sounds. Plus, your hosts reveal how to do a proper David Cronenberg impression, pan obvious Freudian readings of horror films, praise Marilyn Chambers, and celebrate the love story of Ketchup Man and Potato Man.
This episode brought to you by the phrase “Anus-Penis”. Not a real sponsor, but Sarah and Adam say it enough that it might as well be.
