In his 2020 film Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg delivers a near-future world where assassins complete their work by inhabiting the bodies of others. In a first-watch, Juliet and Theresa discuss the ethics of being a body possessing assassin, near future expectations of privacy, capitalism (of course), and what makes a film horror versus being merely "frightening."
