Michael and Us: Metaverse of Madness
Manage episode 332324507 series 2486257
Long before the "metaverse" loomed over us, David Cronenberg's EXISTENZ (1999) imagined a completely immersive virtual environment that is even less cozy than our own. We discuss the film's porous boundary between reality and unreality, and explain why Cronenberg is one of the few Canadian filmmakers who really "gets" Canada. PLUS: Looking back at a moral panic over right-wing art from the early '90s.
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
