Plastic takes over the podcast! This week we go over some troubling news about the prevalence of microplastics in certain human organs before diving into a film about human organs that are able to digest plastics, namely David Cronenberg's 2022 movie Crimes of the Future. Is this dystopian depiction of human evolution relevant for changes we see currently happening in our society, or is it merely another opportunity for Cronenberg to indulge in his trademark body horror? We ponder this question while also noting resonances in this picture with earlier Cronenberg efforts like Existenz, Crash, and Videodrome.
This episode contains spoilers for Crimes of the Future and frank discussion of the movie's disturbing sexual subtext.
