YKS Premium S43E01: Videodrome with Howell Dawdy (and Luke Taylor)

INCOMING TRANSMISSION...

In the 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man Marshall McLuhan argued that the form a medium of communication takes may shape the way we perceive and interact with the world around us and that the content of a message may be less important than the effect the medium has.

Now, I don't know about all that. I'm just a dumb redneck but I WILL be putting my thoughts together and making a statement about it at a later date. Probably much, much later. Long after you've forgotten about it, I would imagine.

But folks, there's one thing my beautifully broken ass does know: it is once again time to watch some good ass movies. Tonight its the 1983 Cronenberg joint about What if there was a crazy tv show. Yeahh what if there was something crazy on tv.. oh wait, that actually already exists. Its called "Tonights News".

Enough.

Do me a favour and slap that helmet on then open up for me and slide this episode in your stomach slit. Its time for VIDEODROME.

I didn’t recognize the DB song and I was like “this seems kind of good” but I thought it was a jelly roll song so I was scared to think that. Comments here seem to suggest it’s Lana Del Ray which is probably way better

DB made it so clear at the beginning about his stance on back talk.

JF was acting like this so Luke and DB could have a common enemy to unite against and finally put their blood feud to rest.

More Mike songs!

R
Robin Goodfellow · October 2, 2026

JF’s song parodies are always fun but DB taking point on the singing is absolutely angelic. Bonking my bald head against the phone screen like an angry betta fish when I see Luke’s face. Also not mentioning mike’s stellar costume for the whole show is diabolical

R
Robin Goodfellow · October 2, 2026

Also I wanted to defend Mike with a pistol when everyone was giving him shit during the game rules

C
Corey Patrick · October 2, 2026

Damn DB was eating that shit up on that song!!

JF would be tuggin on his freaky worm nonstop if he lived in Videodrome

M
Michael Pemulis · October 2, 2026

This is a fun Miketober lineup. Videodrome's a classic. And Cure is great. I recently watched all the Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies I could find, and they're all worth watching.

Luke set off his territorial instinct like when you introduce two cats too fast
