Week 4 Picks: Cronenberg Edition


There's a David Cronenberg retrospective happening in LA right now, so Cronenberg flicks will be this week's Winamp skin for the PSAS picks....


Polk High v. psych dog – Dead Ringers

Carson Wentz and Nick Foles aren’t twins like Jeremy Irons’ characters in this psychodrama, but who knows what kind of kinky psychological connection they’ve developed after Foles won the Superbowl in Wentz’s place (that’s essentially the same as sleeping with your twin brother’s girlfriend, right?)

Phat Girlz v. Ferries – The Fly

We half expect that Patrick Mahomes’s genes were spliced with a fly a la Cronenberg’s classic remake. Any week now he’ll transform into a revolting human-fly hybrid (Brundlemahomes – it doesn’t actually make sense but it sounds cool).

Blood Spinners v. TTM – Crash

In “Crash,” the protagonist’s sex life is rekindled when he and his wife start using car accidents as foreplay. But it takes them down a dangerous road…kind of like Mike Evans rekindling his receiving career by catching passes from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

BDT v. Pelicans – eXistenZ

In the past Gronk has played like he was in a video game, lighting up defenses with impunity. But judging from the past couple of weeks, he may feel like he’s being chased around virtual reality by an assassin with a flesh gun instead of racking up touchdowns in Madden.

Trichs v. g0dbank – A History of Violence

Dalvin Cook and Melvin Gordon III are no slouches, but any RBs going up against Todd Gurley this season are bound to get their faces smashed in—figuratively, of course—a la the Irish mob baddies who come looking for Viggo Mortensen in this late-stage Cronenberg morality play.

Nauts v. Mustards – Videodrome

Brandin Cooks and Adam Thielen were swallowing footballs like James Woods’s stomach swallowed the gun in “Videodrome.” We’ll see how the rest of this duel plays out later today, but right now the Nauts have the edge.
