Episode Notes

Memories of seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street as a child send filmmaker Albert Birney on a reverie through the films that walk between the conscious and unconscious. Your genial host Norm Wilner works Cronenberg in there somehow, too. Strawberry Mansion, which Birney co-wrote and co-directed with his pal Kentucker Audley, is now on digital and on disc, and you should see it; Norm liked it so much he even featured the Blu-ray in the latest edition of his Shiny Things newsletter!
