Published: July 21, 2019, 11 a.m.

This week we’re joined by screenplay writers Ossian Ritchie and Mass Roman to discuss parasites in movies. We start with low-budget psychotropic addiction parable Brain Damage (1988) and its charming animatronic Elmer. Next up is the 2003 Assembly Cut of David Fincher’s first feature Alien³ (1992) and its shiny CGI whippet-alien. Finally we have Alex Proyas’ mind-bending neo-noir Dark City (1998) and its bald corpses filled with squiggly blue lights. Also: Black Shore (2019). Video rental nasties. Basket Case (1982). Society (1989). Denis Beauvais. Too Many Cooks. Psycho-sexual imagery. Withnail & I, in Space! Event Horizon (1997). Patrick Tatopoulos. House of Cards (1990). Flat-earthers might be right? The Rocketeer (1991). Ass to Ass (2000). We play a game of “I’ll Be Your Host”
