Seeing Double in Dead Ringers

We’re no stranger to David Cronenberg around here. We’ve tackled both The Fly and The Dead Zone. And his reputation certainly precedes him. So, when Dalton chose Dead Ringers, we were a bit anxious about what to expect.

And, it was a much different film than any of us anticipated.

The story of twin gynecologists who manipulate those around them features one of the best dual performances we’ve seen.

This week, we’re talking about Cronenberg, psychoanalysis, twins, female love interests and much more as we dissect Dead Ringers.
