\"Scanners_poster\"<\/p>\n

Episode 119: The crew’s heads are exploding with excitement to discuss Scanners with guest, writer, Christopher M. O’Brien. It’s David Cronenberg’s first box-office hit, which lead to Hollywood Studios knocking on his Canadian door with offers of bigger budgets. Scanners may be in the same vein as Carrie and The Fury, but make no mistake, this is a Cronenberg film. His body horror roots are on display here. Spoiler Warning as always!<\/p>\n

Christopher M. O’Brien’s books, “The Forrest J Ackerman Oeuvre”<\/a>, and “Lovecraftian Voyages”<\/a> are available for purchase on Amazon.<\/p>\n
