Query: Why would anyone watch a scum show like videodrome?

The answer: because it is absolutely mesmerizing. Of course, those of you who are familiar with this very unusual tale will recognize that line uttered by the diabolical (SPOILER!) Barry Convex is actually a very well placed pun.I haven't yet seen the Criterion version of this film yet but if it is anything like other Criterion discs that I've seen it will be great. In any case, the movie, while extreme, is definitely worth seeing if you can take the violence and the lurid atmosphere. Not recommended for kids though.
