KULTURECAST SHARING IS CARING MOVIE NO. 3"In this bonus episode, we take a look at David Cronenberg's latest film that's a possible return to the body horror aficionado, CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (2022). Starring Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart, the film follows Mortensen as a performance artist who has vestigial organs removed on stage in a dystopian future. Kristen Stewart plays a perfect weirdo obsessed with his art and his evolutionary advances. It's a wild film that deserves multiple rewatches,

More #BegleyOnBegley Action is coming your way! And more #SchraderOnBegley Action to boot! Coming in under the wire for BOBAM (just pretend it's a Leap Year) with a quickie on CAT PEOPLE (1982). Schrader's slick, colorful remake is a great watch, despite the icky incest plotline. Ed Begley, Jr. gets to have some fun in this, until... well, just listen.https://www.wakeupheavy.com/2022/03/bobam-cat-people-1982.html

I take a look at Paul Schrader's BLUE COLLAR (1978) which is sort of a heist film, but mostly a hard-hitting look at labor relations in the auto industry.Show notes: https://www.wakeupheavy.com/2022/02/bobam-blue-collar-1978.html
