7.3 / 10

Max Renn is the President of Channel 83 Civic-TV, a small television station on the UHF dial. He defends his programming of largely X-rated shows - which depict graphic sex and extreme violence - as a pure matter of economic survival as a small station. Behind closed doors in specific company, he would admit that he enjoys such programming, but as President will stay away from associated activities that may be dangerous for him in its purchase. His current girlfriend, radio personality Nicki Brand, who he met on a television talk show, is sexually aroused by light mutilation on her person, that despite or because her radio show is like an open air crisis hotline. On that same talk show, the other guest via video feed was Professor Brian O'Blivion - solely his stage name - who believes that television and video broadcasts will one day overtake the world as reality, which may make Max's programming in combination more dangerous. In Max's search for the next big thing in like programming...

Nobody in Hollywood has the balls that James Woods has that’s for sure. Takes guts to be an outspoken conservative voice in Hollyweird. - @Tuesday, October 23, 2018 8:27 PM

An outstanding performance by James Woods. This is y I became a big fan of his. Should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for best actor. He probably would’ve won. Hands down. An unforgettable performance. - @Saturday, September 15, 2018 1:21 AM

I believe that masses doses of Fox News signal will ultimately produce and control hallucinations to the point that it will change and control reality. - @Friday, August 24, 2018 5:51 PM

Am I wrong, or does this trailer use scenes/dialog not in the final cut? I know the shoot fluctuated all the way until the end, so it wouldn't surprise me to hear the post-production did as well, and considering this was aired before the theatrical release... - @Tuesday, July 17, 2018 5:43 AM

I think Cronenberg is one of my fav directors due to the ideas in his films - its all very transhumanism and evils inherent in technology - ideas very relevant to these times...Im not sure i get what the new flesh is though... - @Saturday, October 28, 2017 9:42 PM

interesting, its as if that is what is going on today with the mass programming of the public opinion thru television and internet, exept we cant recognize the actual hallucinations from true reality since reality is much much different than what we think. - @Wednesday, September 13, 2017 9:08 AM

this is a awesomely strange movie. i was not expecting this movie to be what it is. this movie had me surprised from start to finish. the special effects in this movie are awesome they did a great job. the story was weird but in a good way and the acting was great. i like these types of odd films that make you say wtf. and that's what videodrome is. if you have not seen this movie then i recommend you do. rating 5/5 - @Friday, May 19, 2017 9:34 AM

One of the greatest trailers ever and one of Cronenberg's greatest films outside of THE FLY 1986, SPIDER, and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. It still manages to be as graphic and extreme to this very day. - @Monday, March 13, 2017 9:48 PM
