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

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
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.
