One of his colleagues turns him onto Videodrome, a cult TV show depicting torture, murder and sadomasochistic sex and broadcast from a secret location. When Renn goes on a talk show to debate the morality of his network's programming, he meets psychiatrist and radio show host Nicki Brand (Deborah Harry). Max and Nicki start dating and become increasingly obsessed with Videodrome, which provokes them to become ever more unhinged. This 1983 body horror is classic Cronenberg.
