For episode 2 of Cyberpunk Summer, Anita and Kat are joined by by actor, producer, and writer Kristian Bruun to discuss eXistenZ. While you may think that sounds like an off-brand male enhancement supplement, it\u2019s actually a sci-fi film from David Cronenberg. The filmmaker\u2014known for his work defining the body horror genre, like The Fly and Dead Ringers\u2014made waves at the Cannes Film Festival this year with his feature Crimes of the Future. Back in 1999, after interviewing Salman Rushdie for Shift magazine, Cronenberg reportedly came up with the idea of "a Fatwa against a virtual-reality game designer." In eXistenZ, Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as the designer of the titular game, leading a cast that includes Jude Law, Ian Holm, Sarah Polley, Christopher Eccleston, and Willem Dafoe.
