With Jess Byard June at a close, we now kickoff Body Horror July with a look at the progeny of David Cronenberg's first film, Antiviral. The film follows Caleb Landry Jones as Syd March, a lab technician at a company that sells celebrity viruses, who gets infected with a viral pathogen that is seemingly incurable. He then attempts not only to cure himself but also sell the celebrity virus to the highest bidder. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Brandon Cronenberg's directorial debut, whether or not the film leans into body horror, and Caleb Landry Jones' performance.
