A Part Of Our Scare-itage

24. Rabid (1977).


Listen Later

In preparation for its pending remake by the Soska Sisters, Sarah and Adam

discuss how David Cronenberg’s Rabid inspired the plague horrors of 28
Days Later and the sexual terrors of It Follows. Rabid’s also the story of how
stem cells create a killer penis that lives in a porn star’s armpit, which
makes even less sense than it sounds. Plus, your hosts reveal how to do a
proper David Cronenberg impression, pan obvious Freudian readings of horror
films, praise Marilyn Chambers, and celebrate the love story of Ketchup Man
and Potato Man.

This episode brought to you by the phrase “Anus-Penis”. Not a real sponsor,

but Sarah and Adam say it enough that it might as well be.

Rabid is not an empowerment or sexual revenge movie like the oft-mentioned

Teeth.

Barring any technical difficulties, our next episode will be on Jen and Sylvia

Soska’s remake of Rabid.
