David Schwartz recommended Videodrome (1983) in Movies (curated)

 
Videodrome (1983)
Videodrome (1983)
1983 | Horror, Sci-Fi

"David Cronenberg’s reflexive masterpiece of modern horror, with James Woods as a seedy purveyor of soft-core exploitation for cable TV, and Debbie Harry as his siren, brought the media-as-message theories of fellow Torontonian Marshall McLuhan to visceral life. This was one of the first movies I rented on VHS, and Videodrome is partly an exploration of the strange, clunky physical sensation attached to the idea of a feature film being available on a paperback-size plastic-and-tape cassette that is inserted into a machine . . . and our brains. A quarter century later, Cronenberg’s dazzling vision of a world where image and flesh are one—“long live the new flesh”—Videodrome’s futuristic vision is timelier than ever. And above all that, the movie is sexy, smart, funny, and fascinating, moving adeptly between its layers of reality, imagination, and that vast territory in between."

Tokyo Xanadu EX+
Tokyo Xanadu EX+
2017 | Role-Playing
Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ is an enhanced version of the original with an extra story chapter, two new characters, and additional mini games. The dungeon exploration feels similar to games like Persona and The Legends Of Heroes, but it's a lot of fun. You have one active character, but you can switch between party members quickly and this is actually part of the strategy for some of the boss battles. The combat is fun and easy to get into. The main story itself is pretty good and there are side quests that have stories that fit alongside the main story. There are also fun mini games to play like a skateboarding course. The game itself is really charming, fun to play, and it has a lot of interesting characters.
