What happens when David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen reunite for a body horror movie about organ-removal performance art?
Unfortunately, not much.
As huge fans of A History of Violence and Eastern Promises, we were excited to see Mortensen and Cronenberg together again, but our excitement didn’t last through the slow and muddled mess that is Crimes of the Future.
Luckily, we make performance art out of tumorous growths in this episode by joking about Jordan Peterson, Rick and Morty, and our hypochondriacal tendencies. We also discuss why this movie didn’t work for us, compare it to other Cronenberg films, and share a few funny anecdotes from our childhood.
Come for the movie review, stay for the jokes and the brotherly banter.
Crimes of the Future is a 2022 sci-fi body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart.
