Criterion Reflections – Episode 24 – David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future

David is joined by William Remmers (and some weird sound effects) in a discussion of this disturbing, discomfiting dystopian demo reel from early in Cronenberg's career.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by William Remmers to discuss Crimes of the Future, directed by David Cronenberg, included as a supplemental feature on The Brood (spine #777).
