Sexy & Surreal: Episode 12 - The Dead Zone (1983) - a podcast by Valeska Griffiths & Joe Lipsett

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the pod to discuss the Canadian director's second film of 1983, The Dead Zone.

Up for discussion: why this is a better Stephen King film than a Cronenberg film, iconic Canadian royalty in supporting roles, why the narrative works better as a miniseries (or, yes, a TV show - which Joe has seen parts of).

Plus: Walken's wild hair, the serial killer narrative, why we wish Cronenberg had written this, the bland female role, and the romanticism (ADR?) of the ending.
