In this episode, the Retro Movie Geek crew is joined by Jason Grooms (find more from Jason here: "Looking For Spoons" & "Geek on the Peak TV"), and are geeking out over  Scanners (1981) and scanner "lust faces"David Cronenbergweird psychic powersexploding heads & veiny stuffand much, much more! Synopsis: Scanners concerns a group of beings with supernatural extra-sensory skills – so strong that they can bend, twist, mutilate, and explode other human beings, using only the powers of their minds. Revok is a scanner who wants to band together others like him to control the world. There is only one way to stop him – find someone with equally powerful brainwaves that can destroy Revok. The performances are astounding – Stephen Lack as the wasted artist (?), and Jennifer O’Neill as a scanner whose gaze is as potent as it is inviting. With sensational special effects, Scanners is a mind-shattering experience… in more ways than one! .......................................................................................................................... Happy Halloween to you all! ..........................................................................................................................
