Description

It's finally time to talk about one of the most influential cult classics of all time, Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man. One of the very first films we ever put on the list of episodes to cover on the show, this fever dream disguised as a movie explores themes of gender identity, sexuality, and societal expectations. Shot on a minimal budget, using practical fx as well as stop motion, this truly is a spectacle that needs to be witnessed in order to be believed!

TW: self harm, violence/gore involving the human body, phallic imagery
