The Shrouds: An Industrial Film?


Listen Later

This week, the gang discusses David Cronenberg's most recent film, The Shrouds (2024), a story about a widowed man who develops a video technology that allows clients to watch their spouses' corpses decompose in the grave as a means of grieving the dead. In typical Cronenberg fashion, this is a fascinating and engrossing film that features plenty of body horror, a few conspiracies, and some interesting writing.

But above all, The Shrouds is a story about grief.
