Bodies of Horror: Episode 97 - Anti-Viral (2012) feat Bhavna and Wes

This week Nichole welcomes not one, but two guests: Bhavna from Bloody Broads and returning guest Wes from The 35th Floor . Together the pair form the Double Feature Creatures Podcast.

On the slab is 2012’s Anti-Viral, the first feature film David Cronenberg's brood, Brandon Cronenberg. We talk about Brandon’s unique spin on the horror genre, and how he uses body horror to comment on identity. This film in particular takes us on a journey through the pandemic, illness, and commodification of illness, as well as celebrity culture.

Wanna connect with the guests?
