There are 8.3 billion people in the world, and only 237 of them are Scanners. And one Scanner is the most boring man in the world. The rest of them are some real firecrackers! That’s right, we’re getting to the cold, frigid truth this week as we talk about the ultimate movie in telepathic horror, 1981’s SCANNERS!! Along the way, we explore the writer/director David Cronenberg’s influences, how the Canuxsploitation scene took shape, and the real-life cults that gave birth to the film’s underground of mutants!! All this, plus Hot Pogos, inappropriate leg stabilizers, a Dr. Ruth, some landboats, inept assassin squads, homework assignments, Herman Brood and His Wild Romance, and a mind-melting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Clear your mind and press play, people!!
