About this episode

The episode explores David Cronenberg's film THE BROOD through the lens of personal trauma and artistic expression.

What if David Cronenberg went through a terrible divorce and a bitter custody battle and decided to get out all his frustrations through art? You get THE BROOD, one of his most nightmarish efforts which hits home for anyone who's been through the trauma of divorce or really any kind of trauma. Travel down this dark rabbit hole with S. Michael, Slinky Giallo, and the lovely Erin Dawn as we discuss fetus licking, Oliver Reed's naked benders, and RAGE BABIES!
