David Cronenberg has created some of the most memorable cinematic moments in recent history (think Scanners or Eastern Promises). The Steve Allen theatre pays tribute with this retrospective to the auteur behind a sublimely violent body of work. Tonight's screening features 1983's Marshall McLuhan-inspired classic Videodrome. While searching for the next big thing, the smut-peddling president of Civic TV, Max Renn (James Woods), comes upon a mysterious signal originating from the center of all evil — Pittsburgh. What follows confirms what your mother always told you: "TV will rot your brain!" Behold, the new flesh.
