Game Loop.
Trace and I inadvertently bookended our April discussions of John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London (listen) and Ciarán Foy’s Eli (listen) with Jude Law films. At the start of the month, we tackled Matt Damon’s Italian grifter in The Talented Mr. Ripley (listen) and now we’re closing out April with David Cronenberg‘s eXistenZ (1999).
The unofficial sequel to Videodrome (listen) and precursor to Crimes of the Future, eXistenZ takes place in the world of virtual reality and simulation. Game goddess Allegra Gellar (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is forced to go on the run with PR nerd Ted Pikul (Jude Law) through the Canadian backwoods when ‘Realist’ terrorists declare open season on her life.
Featuring no shortage of strange encounters and oddball characters, including Willem Dafoe‘s queer-coded Gas and Canadian film royalty like Don McKellar and Sarah Polley, Allegra and Ted must travel between the...

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death! This month, we’re talking to Joe Lipsett, who you probably best know as co-host on Horror Queers, a podcast that explores horror movies through an LGBTQ lens. But of course, Lipsett also has bylines all over the place, including Bloody Disgusting, Anatomy of a Scream, Grim Magazine, and more (your best bet to keep up with all of it is probably at his website).
As you may already know, in addition to being a proud horror fan, Lipsett is also a very proud Canadian, so of course this month’s movie comes from none other than David Cronenberg, as we dig into his 1999 sci-fi thriller eXistenZ. The film takes place in a near-future where video game technology has blended biology and technology for a virtual reality experience that, in true Cronenberg fashion, involves vaguely sexual game ports that plug directly into people’s spinal cords.
