Scanners - "Telepathic Curiosities"

This one might make your head explode! We are finally covering the David Cronenberg classic SCANNERS (1981). We can't believe we waited this long to check this one out - this film has so many of our favorite HMSG tropes - a scientist with a Nobel prize gleam in his eye, characters with telekinetic push powers, general apocalyptic doom and a groovy record store scene for good measure!

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!
