Adam and Ben just watched the new film 'Possessor Uncut' by Brandon Cronenberg, son of Systems of Systems godhead David Cronenberg, and find one of the most mesmerizing works of Baudrillardian, postmodern body horror cinema since daddy Cronenberg's 'Videodrome.' Adam detects a new "futureshock narrative," as philosopher Nick Land identified in cyberpunk literature and film, from William Gibson to 'Terminator,' while Ben hones in on the film's visualization of the apotheosis of post neoliberal, PMC culture (the 'Great Reset' indeed).

The duo also briefly discusses Irish actor Gabriel Byrne coming out as Hollywood's first open strasserite.
