David Cronenberg has directed more than 20 feature films in a wide variety of genres, but he remains best known for provocative '80s sci-fi films like The Fly and Videodrome. Humor writer Tom Gerencer is a lifelong fan of Cronenberg's artistic vision. "He is an absolute genius, and he has merged that with an absolute mastery of craft," Gerencer says in Episode 533 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "Often you see one or the other. You see someone who's very workmanlike and can produce a good movie, or you see someone who is a genius and is just all over the place, and there are good ones and bad ones. But he is both, and that's rare."

If there's one thing that truly scares horror fans, it's a modern reboot of a beloved franchise. However, while those ageing terrors might have their charms, they don't quite match up to the fear factor of modern monsters. Now, AI has been used to reimagine what some of our favourite on-screen spooks might look like with modern film-making techniques. According to the AI, the Alien Queen from Aliens would be sleeker and shinier than her predecessor. Meanwhile, Stripe from Gremlins would be absolutely terrifying, with huge eyes - and enormous fangs to match.
