GBW #98: Meat Mechs (Possessor / Hypnotic / Gamer)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed &quot;good,&quot; &quot;bad,&quot; or &quot;what!?&quot; within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor&#39;s filmography, and more!</p> <p>This week, Ryan and Chris discuss three sci-fi hybrid films that all have a different merging genre (horror, thriller, and action, respectively), but all involve mental and bodily hijacking. We start with &quot;Possessor,&quot; the 2020 breakout film from Brandon Cronenberg (son of David) that is a phenomenal sensory experience that is both straightforward yet incredibly dense (and bleak). Then, we move into a movie that isn&#39;t straightforward or phenomenal in &quot;Hypnotic;&quot; a brand-new, 2023 release starring Ben Affleck and directed by Robert Rodriguez that limped into theaters and few (including Chris until two weeks ago) have heard of. Finally, we revisit Neveldine/Taylor&#39;s maligned-at-the-time &quot;Gamer&quot; from 2009, and while not perfect, we both agree that the film has aged incredibly well. </p> <p>You can find this and future episodes - as well as subscribe to our show - on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-the-bad-and-the-what/id1554493814">Apple Podcasts,</a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0RcsQUeNROydClA6p6P9ht">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-good-the-bad-and-the-what">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://iheart.com/podcast/78028350/">iHeartRadio</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80Nzg1Y2NmYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==">Google Podcasts</a>, and more!
