							| Debbie Harry, James Woods, and Canada's most notorious filmmaker collaborate on this 1980 cult classic about the head of a tv station who finds the pirate signal to a porn channel involving torture and ultimately mind control. Maybe it was groundbreaking at the time, but its commentary about medium, message, desensitization and consumption seems dated if quaint. |
