Unwatchables with Marc & SethEpisode 29 - Tetsuo: The Iron Man feat. Josh LarsenThis week we’re joined by Filmspotting’s Josh Larsen— author of Fear Not, an upcoming book taking a faith-based look at horror— to discuss one of our most skin-crawling provocations yet. Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo: The Iron Man is a seminal text of both body horror and Japanese cyberpunk, an experimental horror/superhero film that’s as surreal as it is disgusting. We discuss the film’s nightmarish merging of technology, violence, and sexuality, the cultural anxieties behind it, and where the two Davids (Lynch and Cronenberg) fit in.
