CANADA! DIVORCE! Are there any two sweeter words in the English language? I can think of one: CRONENBERG! On this episode of FURTHER REEDING we’re getting personal with the 1979 David Cronenberg-directed horror classic THE BROOD starring Art Hindle, Samantha Eggar and – of course – OLIVER REED! It’s a film full of complexity, autobiographical elements, (possible) misogyny and killer mutant kids so you know it’s right up our alley. Listen and hear some THOUGHTS!
