To mark the UK release of Crimes of the Future, the latest offering from Canadian auteur David Cronenberg, Harry and Rory lube up their bio ports and grab their game pods to journey into his none-more-Nineties earlier work eXistenZ. Body horror and virtual reality combine as terrorists target a game developer who must save her latest immersive title from destruction by seeking answers and refuge within the game itself. We discuss what's real, what's a game, and what it all means - plus the film's bizarre promotional tie-ins with the Sega Dreamcast!
