Director David Cronenberg's films of late have strayed from the body horror for which he came to be known:  films like THE FLY, VIDEODROME, SCANNERS, DEAD RINGERS, NAKED LUNCH, and THE BROOD have become classics in the genre.  But this year, he has returned to the subject of body modification, with a strong environmental message, in CRIMES OF THE FUTURE, featuring Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart. Eric and Bradford find themselves on opposite sides of the critical divide on this one, and like our previous episode, are left with more questions than answers.
