Videodrome is... kinda great. It's obviously dated, in its effects, in its interests, and in its politics. But it's compelling the entire time. It's also weirdly sexy and totally focused on bodies and their capabilities. I don't think I understand why the film's two villains died the way they died (one explodes? and the other one rapidly crudesces or something?), but I fully liked this. It's creepy and fun and surprising – and it's like a weird sequel to Network.
