Sexy & Surreal: Episode 26 - Spider (2002)

Season 3, Ep. 85

Terry and Joe are back with their first Cronenberg title of the season and...it's not great.

Spider (2002) has an intriguing premise and a flawed execution. The scenes in the past are more successful, but Ralph Fiennes' contemporary bits are dull and often unconvincing.

Plus: double your Miranda Richardson, and why the twist doesn't work for us
