This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, Kimmi and Jon are taking a dip into the sun-soaked nightmare of Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool (2023). What starts as a luxurious vacation for James Foster (Alexander Skarsgård) quickly unravels into a dark, unsettling world where crime comes without the usual consequences—because if you can afford it, someone else will pay the price for you. Literally.
After a freak accident, James is introduced to a disturbing practice involving clones, where the wealthy can sidestep responsibility in truly horrifying ways. The deeper James goes, the more he’s drawn into a twisted world of excess, indulgence, and blood-soaked thrills that blur the line between punishment and pleasure (all shepherded by an unhinged Mia Goth).
Is Infinity Pool a sharp critique of the privilege money brings, or just an invitation to lose yourself in Cronenbergian chaos? Tune in as Kimmi and Jon explore the dark corners of this surreal horror and figure out whether James can survive his ultimate getaway, and his own lust for debauchery. Go on, don’t be a sucky baby. Join ussss…
